The Printed Kimono - fashionmonday

HELLO LOVES, as promised I present to you a long-awaited outfit posts. Although it is currently warmer outside than when we took these photos in the HafenCity of Hamburg, I want to share this outfit with you.
The eyecatcher is my new kimono, which I lately purchased in a H&M-sale. I've been looking for a piece like this for some time: one that is not too expensive but has a nice pattern and comfy fabric which feels nice one the skin. Searched - found. I really like the colours and can imagine it combined to many looks, but on this day I decided in favor of a boyfriend-look. I admit, I could have worn more suitable socks but oh well... What do you think?

I wish you a nice start into the summer holidays or, respectively, the new week and nice (not too warm and not too cold) weather.

Thoughts

We're still alive!

HELLO LOVES.
Finally, after 2 months of no vital sign whatsoever, we're coming back. It's been very quiet on Livintage since our last post, which was in April, but we tried to at least update our Instagram every now and then.

What happened? As you may know, we're now in Sixth Form and in a good 7 weeks, our last school year will start, which means stress, stress and more stress. Even though we had enough of stress in the last weeks, be it in school, with our hobbies or private lifes. So, we had to set priorities, which in this case meant to neglect our blog. Instead of just frantically forcing us to post every week, we decided to leave our blog alone for some time. This time will now be over!

What can you expect? One last week of school is still seperating us from the summer holidays. In this time, there'll probably be a post about our school trip to Hamburg, Germany and after that, we will try to revive Livintage with the 'usual' topics of our blog. We hope for chilly summer days, nice oufits and lots of inspiration for you!

We're very excited that we are now able to care for our blog (and you!) more and hope you will continue to follow us and enjoy our posts. See you soon and don't forget to

Food

Banana ° Coconut ° Cacao - Vegan Dessert

HELLO EVERYBODY, I was experimenting a bit in the kitchen just recently and as I had some leftover coconut milk, I figured it would be a nice idea to make a nice and simple dessert out of it. I was in the mood for something chocolate-y (but no pudding) and decided for a vegan chocolate dessert. And I was successful, it worked out perfectly despite being so simple and easy to make! You should try it!

Everything you need:

coconut milk (I used about 1/3 of a can)
one banana
cocoa powder (without sugar)

Just cut the banana in pieces and mix in the other ingredients. Mash or blenderize this mixture together and if it is too consolidated, add a few drops of water. That's it! You're done! Personally, I like to put the bowl into the freezer for a couple minutes, just to give it some extra freshness.

As you can see, I sprinkled a handful of oatmeal on top of the cream. Maybe (I just realized that), you could add a bigger amount of oatmeal and blend it into the mixture before using a mixer. It would have a saturating effect next to the sweet taste. I think I'll try that later!

Travel

Israel 2016 - The Old Jerusalem

HELLO EVERYBODY, as I announced in the last travel post, I would like to show you some photos of Jerusalem. I think I could do another post about it but for now we will keep it with that one.

The old city of Jerusalem, which I visited for the second time, is about 3000 years old and unites the three big world religions - Judaism, Islam and Christianity. The city is split into four neighbourhoods (with the Armenian one) and on the different corners you can find mosques, churches and synagogues. The buildings are, just as the city itself, very old but the charm they spread is incredibly beautiful! I really like the monumental buildings, made of light coloured stone and the small alleys with an abundance of shops and possibilities to taste the Israeli delicacies.

Although the Church of the Holy Sepulchre can be full of tourists, I can really recommend a visit! If you watch the building from the outside you might not immediatly expect what you come upon in the inside. The church is really contorted and that's why it seems to be small inside, because there are a lot of smaller sections one can walk through. After my second visit I am still fascinated by it!

Almost every evening during my trip to Israel I watched the beautiful sunset. On good days, there are no clouds in the sky and the big fiery red ball disperses its light onto the whole horizon.

It's definitley worth it to visit Jerusalem, no matter if you are interested in architecture, history or if you would like to go there for religious reasons.

Fashion

Blue Jeans Blue Stripes - fashionmonday

HELLO EVERYBODY, it's getting warmer outside, the flowers are starting to bloom, daylight lasts longer and one week ago it was the beginning of spring! As I ride my bike to school every day in the morning, the wind can be quite cold sometimes, soI always wear my headband. Nonetheless, those fluffy and cozy sweaters are slowly vanishing into the rear part of my closet.
Today's look is one I really like because on the one hand it combines my favourite colours blue, grey, black and white and on the other hand I think I succeded in combining the blue jeans with the blue-striped flannel. I have to admit that I wasn't really sure about a tonal style but now I will try something like this more often.

Scarf, Necklase | H&M

Flannel | Vintage

Schoes | Deichmann

Notebook | TK-Maxx
Jeans | Pimkie

The small details of this look are, by the way, my latest favourites. I fell in love with this minimalistic solid triangle necklace and also with the grey notebook. I was exactly looking for one in that size and now I finally can write down all my ideas when I'm on the road. I also tried matte nail polish for the first time and I have to say: I like it a lot. What do you think about it?

Plaid All Over - fashionmonday

HELLO EVERYONE, After some time, Lea and I have finally managed to take photos of our outfits, one of which I'll show you now. It's a bit more wintery look - hopefully the last one for now. Here, spring is just around the corner which means soon we'll be able to replace the thick layers of clothes and the scarfs and boots with lighter jackets, cardigans and ankle boots or chucks. (Yey!)

As for now, I still chose to go with a (very fluffy) coat, combined with a burberry scarf and peg top pants and lots of plaid.
