Hello my darlings, so today I’ll be sharing this super cute and comfy jumpsuit from H&M with you, and I also wanted to talk to you guys about motivation and optimism.

Do you sometimes feel like time is running so fast and you are not able to catch your breath? There are so many things on your list and you feel like you don’t have enough time for the things that really matter to you, and your own personal growth? I can tell you one thing, if it’s really important to you, you will make time for it. It doesn’t matter if it’s about your own goals, being there for a friend, or dating; you will always make time for what or who is important to you. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Not sure if that’s the right phrase to use in English, but I basically translated it from the German phrase “Wo ein Wille ist, ist auch ein Weg.” That’s a phrase my parents used very often throughout my childhood, and still use now. I am so thankful for these wise words, because that’s where I get most of my optimism from. If I want something badly enough, there is always a way. You might have to overcome some obstacles and take some detours (that’s totally fine), but you will get there if you stay persistent, are determined and work hard.

When I travel I do not travel with my own personal photographer, most of the time I just have my tripod with me and my Canon. Occasionally I’ll ask someone to take a picture of me with my phone (the camera is just too complicated for most people, and thank you random strangers). These pictures were taken in Charleston, South Carolina. Since this was a work trip for me, and I didn’t have time to take pictures in the afternoon, I got up at 5.30am to get ready, to catch the sunrise at 6:34am and to start taking pictures on the balcony with my tripod around 7am. And I am beyond happy with the results. It is definitely harder taking pictures with a tripod, because every so often I have to check if I had the camera in the right angle, etc. With some practice you get the hang of it. My point is, that I totally could have not taken any pictures, and just complained about how I don’t have anyone to take pictures of me for my blog. Instead, I took things into my own hands. Stop making excuses, and start finding solutions to reach your goals!

As always, thank you so much for reading and I would love to hear your thoughts. xo Joëlle

When I first saw this Michael Kors (here) bag in the store in the beginning of April I absolutely fell in love with it. I didn’t buy it back then, because I always need a little bit of time to think (or overthink) when buying an investment piece. I love all the small floral details and especially the rose gold, this bag literally screams my name. But I’m so glad I waited, because I actually got it as a Birthday present and couldn’t be more thankful! I am sooo in love with this bag, so thank you so much again!

Culottes are definitely a must have for me this Summer. Especially these blush pink culottes are so perfect for Summer, I could literally wear them all the time (I actually might 😀 ). The material is so light and airy, so you don’t get too hot when wearing them. When I buy clothes I literally always (or at least most of the time) make sure the pieces are versatile. You are able to wear them more casual like I am here (and here), or you can add a pair of heels, and wear a work appropriate blouse/top and a blazer et voîla you’re good to go for work! Summers in New York and New Jersey get SO HOT, which sometimes makes it so hard to dress appropriately for work without dying of a heat shock (exaggerating but also not). But these pants will literally save your life! For some reason I have not been able to find these exact H&M blush culottes online, but when I go to the store they are still available in some stores. It drives me nuts honestly, because I really want to share them with you! Well, so if you happen to go to an H&M store, check them out. They are so airy and the material is so light, they are literally perfect for the Summer.

Also I have been really obsessed with linen texture clothing pieces lately, they are so trendy at the moment. I remember when I was in High School I used to wear linen pants all the time in the Summer, because my skin is so fair and that way my skin was protected from the sun rays. I love that the linen look is back now, I have quite a few things hanging in my closet and cannot wait to share them with you 🙂  Bisous, Joëlle

Happy Monday my darlings, I hope you have a good start into a new week. So, I’m a big denim fan, I love wearing jeans especially in Fall, Winter and Spring (if it’s not too hot!). I usually wear only dark blue Levis Jeans, they are always my go to. I think they match anything and look so elegant (my favorite Levis in this post here). Occasionally I also wear white denim pants (here). Very recently, actually right before my Hawai’i trip (here) I felt very adventurous and I bought myself my very first denim jacket, in white denim. Hey it’s a start 😀 I think the last time I wore a denim skirt was when I was in High School, and that was a while ago. When I saw this denim skirt at H&M, I decided to give denim skirts a second chance and I had to get it. I absolutely love the buttons on this skirt! Also currently I have an obsession with off-the-shoulder dresses and tops. I used to absolutely hate them, but I finally found a strapless bra at Victorias Secret (here) that works wonders! This bra from Intimissimi (here) also looks like it can do wonders. If you’re ordering online, I suggest to go a size smaller than your regular T-Shirt bra to make sure it holds everything in place 😉

About these cute blush pink mules, if you follow me on Instagram (here) then you probably know the story behind these cute shoes! My dear friend and I were taking pictures and I loved her shoes so much (I mean how can you not) and I asked if I could borrow the shoes for the pictures 😀 BTW her feet are one and a half shoe size smaller than mine, but they were so cute so I squeezed myself into them for a few minutes. And I obviously had to make it look like that they fit perfectly! Haven’t we all done something crazy for a picture at least once? Who is with me? 😀

I’m curious, what is one of the craziest things you’ve done for a picture? Would love to hear your experiences! Bisous, Joëlle

Ich wünsche euch einen frohen Montag meine Lieben, und einen guten Start in eine neue Woche.. Also, Ich bin eine begeisterte Denim Fanatikerin, und ich liebe Jeans Hosen vor allem im Herbst, Winter und Frühling (wenn es nicht zu heiss ist!) zu tragen. Meistens trage ich gerne nur dunkel blaue Levis Jeans, die sind immer mein go-to. Ich finde dass die zu fast allem passen, und dass sie gleich viel eleganter aussehen (meine Lieblings Levis Hose könnt ihr hier sehen). Ganz selten trage ich auch mal gerne eine weisse Jeans Hose (hier). Vor kurzem habe ich mir auch meine aller erste Jeans Jacke (aber in weiss) gekauft direkt vor meinem Hawai’i Urlaub. Hey, es ist ein Anfang 😀 Ich glaube das letzte mal als ich einen Jeans Rock getragen habe war ich noch in der Schule, und das ist schon eine Zeit lang her. Als ich den Rock bei H&M gesehen habe, habe ich beschlossen, dass ich Jeans Röcken nochmal eine zweite Chance geben würde, und habe ihn mir dann gekauft. Ich liebe die Details an diesem Rock, vor allem die Knöpfe. Außerdem, momentan habe ich auch eine grosse Liebe für Bandeau Tops und Kleider. Früher habe ich die immer gehasst, aber ich habe endlich einen BH gefunden der für mich funktioniert mit dem Bandeau Trend. ENDLICH!!! Ich habe meinen bei Victoria’s secret gekauft (hier). Der BH von Intimissimi (hier) sieht auch ganz gut aus als ob der gut halten würde. Wenn du online bestellen wirst, würde ich dir raten eine Nummer kleiner also dein normaler T-Shirt BH zu bestellen, um sicher zu gehen das alles hält 😉

Ich bin total in diese süssen pink farbenen Schuhe verliebt. Wenn ihr mir auf Instagram folgt (hier), dann wisst ihr sicherlich schon, dass es nicht meine Schuhe sind. Sondern die Schuhe gehören meiner Freundin, und ich fand die so schön und habe sie gefragt ob ich sie mir fürs Foto ausleihen dürfte. Allerdings sind die Füsse meiner Freundin anderthalb Grössen kleiner als meine, also musste ich mich reinquetschen für ein paar Minütchen. Und natürlich musste es so aussehen, als ob sie perfekt passen würden! Aber haben wir nicht alle schon mal etwas verrücktes für ein Foto wenigstens einmal gemacht.

Was ist das Verrückteste das du jemals für ein Foto gemacht hast? Ich bin schon ganz gespannt auf eure Antworten! Bious, Joëlle

PS: Ich habe entschlossen, dass ich jetzt versuche jeden Blog Post auch auf Deutsch zu schreiben. Mir ist aufgefallen, dass es nicht mehr so einfach ist, wenn man schon so lange nicht mehr auf Deutsch geschrieben hat, sondern nur auf What’s App (aber das zählt ja nicht 😀 ) Also, bete ich um eure Geduld. Vielen lieben Dank meine Lieben. Viele Küsschen und Umarmungen.
