Life Update

So recently I have been very quiet on here. That is due to me either working or being away on holiday. I had a fabulous time tanning in Mallorca for a few days last week and am now getting ready to fly to my friend´s wedding in Sao Paulo tonight. In addition to that I am starting a new job when I get back from Brasil. So, yeah…everything´s been crazy busy. In a good way.

I thought I´d just do some writing as I am currently procrastinating sorting out all the stuff I need to get done before the flight. So here goes.

I´ve read three really good books recently: „We are all completely besides ourselves“ was recommended to me by a friend almost a year ago and I finally got around to reading it. It´s soon different to what you expect and it really makes you think. I probably wouldn´t have picked it up if I knew the story in advance, but I´m so glad I did.

Next on my list was „Girlboss“ by Sophia Amoruso, which I started ages ago and then decided I was „too busy“ to finish. It actually holds a lot of great business advice and I agree on most of her views considering creative work. She is about to publish a second book, which I am now really excited for.

In Mallorca I tackled Gillian Flynns „Dark Places“, which I have wanted to read since finishing the „Sharp Objects“ audio book. Up until the end I was at the edge of my seat not knowing what would happen. I read the whole thing in like 3-4 days and that is rare for me. Totally recommend it! Also I will watch the movie on my 12 hour flight.

And OF COURSE I got the new Harry Potter book. I am almost ashamed to say, I´m not a huge fan so far. I´m not even halfway through and I already lost interest. I think it is due to the whole thing not being a novel with magical, beautiful writing but a play so it sounds very matter-of-factly to read. I will obviously finish it at some point and hopefully enjoy the story but so far I´m kinda pretending it´s just fanfiction.

In other news I watched „Suicide Squad“ (three times if you must know, I´m not proud) and I really enjoyed it…I seriously don´t get the hate. I mean, yes, the editing was a bit jumpy at times and it tried veeeery hard to be edgy and fun at the same time, but for someone who always likes the villains best, this movie was just meant to appeal to me. Also, can we talk about Jared Leto? I don´t even have to mention how beautiful and talented he is. And how is the guy 42?!? 

What else? Oh, I watched „Stranger Things“ on Netflix (over a very boring, very long weekend) and it is actually pretty damn good. Although it had the same level of confusing plot holes as AHS, but at least we might get answers next season. 

Fashion-wise, I have been living in Hotpants and dresses but sadly already sorted out my wardrobe for more autumnal weather. Is it bad to be excited for sweaters and scarves in August? Halloween is upon us. Also I never loved ASOS more seen as that´s where I finally found an amazing dress for the upcoming wedding! Okay, I gotta go and finish packing...byyye!
