I´m so so so sorry

 

 I’ve got lost again. 

 Somehow, I’m not really enjoying life right now. I’m constantly tired and my circulation is going completely haywire ... and that’s even though summer has finally arrived in Germany.

 Cosplay is taking up a large part of my free time right now. 
But starting in August, I want to take a step back.

There’s just one big event left after that: Pixelmania and my birthday .... and then I’ll need some time off.

I’ve been browsing Buyee and Aliex a bit again lately.

Following the new EU regulations, I decided to make a "test purchase" to see how strictly the new rule regarding the €3 fee per product category is actually applied.
I’m hoping there really won’t be any extra costs. 
(Aliexpress certainly claimed I wouldn’t have to pay anything extra at the door.) 
Yet, the additional costs ended up being €3.75... I’m confused. 

 

I also sent an inquiry to Buyee to see if they could help me buy a d.i.a. belt.
For some unspecified reason, it’s no longer possible to order from the d.i.a. store on Zozotown.
I’m curious to see if I can still get my hands on the two belts of my dreams.
I’ve put in a request for one of them.
And there’s another one on my wish list.
But as you know, d.i.a. belts are incredibly expensive, so I’ll have to save up for the other one. 

 Here are my purchases from Aliex:

A new phone case from Mofusand

A friend of mine just hyped me about Mofusand ... and now I'm obsessed ... lol 
There were soooooo many cute cases. I really hope this one protects my phone adequately.

Do I need another bag? 
-no

But this one is a look-a-like from LizLisa ♥ and on the costumer pictures they looked okay. 

These are two customer photos, for example.
Pretty decent right?

The Original

I think an attempt was made to imitate this design.

At the current exchange rate, this bag would cost around 70€, 
and then shipping costs and customs duties would be added on top.
I'd roughly estimate that it would come to around 100€.

I paid just around 17€ for that, including customs and shipping. 

 

 and last but not least

 A Ma*rs setup look-a-like

I saw it at Georgie months ago and was impressed by how pretty it is.
I didn't want to buy it right away. So I waited to see if I would still want it after some time 
has passed. And here we are now.

The setup doesn't look exactly like it does in the photo - as you can see from the customer photos.

But still, it is very, very cute.

This is a costumers piccu.  (✪㉨✪)

 

I’m not making any promises this time about posting regularly again, but I’ll give it a try anyway :D 

 

Thats all for now ♥

Cologne Day 1 Botanical garden 🌿

 hello peeps ! 🌿 

 I'm still reporting from the first day

and probably there will be four parts in total Σ(°ロ°)
srly I have so much to write at the moment, I don't know where to start.

 But first, the Cologne trip.

 Like I said in the past post, hun and I went to the botanical garden.
The weather was beautiful and the garden itself was just a dream.

Since I woke up my bf so early ... he was still tired. (as you can see in the picu)

 I wish I had time to do a curly hairstyle on this day... 
but that would have required getting up at 4 a.m.. 
(x . x) ~~zzZ

So I just did my all time favorite: half up do - long time not wear this style  („¬ᴗ¬„)

 It took me a couple trys to do this picu haha 
- My boyfriend dosnt get the "gal"-vibe photos 
... and he do not really have the patience for taking "normal"-pictures 
since he is a cosplay photographer he always want the "perfect" light 
and the best pose ect. And gal is - let us say - diferent haha

 

 look at this beautiful view

I really enjoyed the garden. I love flowers, I love bumblebees and the warm weather.  

 

 My Kitty-chan charm is so cute.

 

 top... Delyle
jacket... Ma*rs
skirt... no brand [from barcelona]
belt... ROMWE

acces... aliex, Shein
sunglasses... six
legwarmers ... Shein

I gave my DSLR camera to my bf, cause he wanted to try 
something with my old-ass camera ... he didn´t understand, why my 
(at this time - when I bought the camera it cost
 around 600-700€ - but now my "lady" is old) 
150€ kit-camera dose so cool macro shots. hihi 
and he is a little upsad, 
that his 4500€ camera system dont work like mine. 

I was sad, that I forgot my press-on nails at home ... (ಡ‸ಡ)

I dont think I upload my flower-macros I took with my DSLR on my blog.  
But my phone piccus are also nice.

 

I couldn't stop taking pictures of the flowers ...

 

look a bumblebee ! (❤ω❤)

we walked around 16 thousand steps this day - my legs are dying haha

 we both were really exhausted at this point, 
and thought about going to the hotel to take a little nap.

 

 next post will also be about the first day in cologne 
we had just a good time.

 

 see you next time

Cologne Day 1 ♡(>ᴗ•)

 hello peeps (o˘◡˘o) !

 I'm now going to tell you in a few short posts about what I experienced in Cologne.
It was a surprise for my boyfriend.

Since my apprenticeship is starting soon, I wanted to take another short trip 
and since I haven't been to Cologne in ages, I seized the opportunity.

I picked up my boyfriend on Wednesday morning at 6:30 a.m. 
It was actually too early even for me, but I wanted to park in a free parking lot, 
and they said you had to get there early to get a spot. 
Plus, I wanted to spend as much time as possible in Cologne with my bf.

 

 The first point of the day after driving for 2 hours should be a leisurely breakfast.

 We walked through a park and saw the cute geese
 (? I think they are some kind of wild goose, correct me if I'm wrong)

 σ(≧ε≦σ) ♡ bae and me

 I wore my new Ma*rs hoodie

 

 

 

 

 After 15 minutes, we finally found a small cafe where we enjoyed 
a cappuccino and a small breakfast.
I had a slice of lemon cake, while Bae had a chicken wrap.

 

I really love lemon sweets right now. 

You could say that it's my boom right now.

 

 

After breakfast, we went to the Botanical Garden.
Since there are a lot of photos, I'll put that in a second part.

 

 

 

 I let Baby decide whether he wanted to go to the zoo 
or the garden. Both attractions are in one place.
We had to pass the zoo to get to the Botanical Garden.

 

 So bye for now (´꒳`)♡

See you in the next post
