I chose the comfortable leather backpack by “The British Brand”. It’s perfect for any combination and an absolute eye catcher in fall and winter. I’m amazed by the high quality of both, the look and the processing. The material is incredibly soft and the pack sits perfectly on my back. Even when filled to the brim the straps don’t hurt. Modern and of high quality, a great combination. The unisex backpack (suits women, men and everything in-between) has another perk: the backpack made of trendy cognac-brown leather fits any DIN A4 files and therefore your laptop, too. Without problems.
About the details. The size measures about 39x30x12 cm. The backpack offers a beautiful, big main compartment with zipper. The inner side has a RV- and a Smartphone pocket. Another plus are the adjustable padded back straps. A small highlight are the carabiner hooks on the outside, where you can clip any individual accessorizes onto. A great idea.
Long story short, the backpack is my personal favorite and companion whether I go to uni, shopping or on a city trip. I’m in love and hope you like this fall look just as much. With this backpack, you CAN play “I’m packing my bag/suitcase and taking…” and you can actually take EVERYTHING.
You can get the backpack HERE, but feel free to have a look around the shop, and fall in love with another bag or backpack.
Griaß God!
As someone from Cologne, I should nail those cute dialects, but “Griaß God” (Greetings to God) and “I mog Di” (I like you) are as good as it gets. Perhaps I’ll just so manage to order myself a Pretzel.
Yet, I haven’t been that lazy the last weeks and prepared myself for the firth season- the Oktoberfest. Like woman does…
A dirndl is not just A dirndl. It’s also the perfect pair of shoes, delicately fitting jewelry, the apron and bow that reveals your relationship status just like your Facebook bio does – and a bag that carries everything you’d need to survive of course. As you can see, finding the right outfit for the Wies’n is A PROJECT.
I have to confess, that I don’t actually visit the Wies’n this year, so I decided on styling a more elegant, everyday version for you. For those, that consider a Dirndl or Leather pants as costumes, or those that can’t spend and enjoy the most beautiful time of the year in Munich. Because with little effort, you can achieve an everyday Oktoberfest-look, with a strict jacket in a military uniform cut, in a playful soft rosy color, refined with beautiful braids and accessories. And who doesn’t dare to wear dungarees, doesn’t need to renounce them either. Take it, like a high-class, handy bag! My Wies’n highlight of 2017 is this extraordinary companion that looks like a pair of mini leather pants.
hosndaschn hosndaschn is the Munich label behind this spectacular fashion trend. They offer unique bags that look like small leather-shorts. A funny idea that makes the wearer the center of attention at the Wies’n. Guaranteed. Besides the high-quality processing and the wonderfully detailed designs, the bags convinced me with the room they offer. They are far more spacious than the first impression makes you think. They easily carry all your Wies’n essentials, and you can put everything and everyone away if you needed to.
It’s a sweet idea, and in my opinion something you can wear all year round. The Oktoberfest is a lifestyle that brings its responsibilities along. A dirndl might be a little excessive 365 days a year, but the fancy hosndaschn suits a fashionable woman day by day.
I chose a light brown model and this dark brown bag.
I decided on a model in a lighter brown tone. It’s delicately decorated with rustic buttons and light, finely ornate embroideries. You immediately notice the love for detail, and once you hold it in your own bare hands, you can spot all the little additions, like the sweet, small miniature bag at the side of the big one. It’s beautifully and carefully processed. The bag has short handles, to be carried like a typical handbag, but also offers longer straps to transform the elegant purse into a comfortable shoulder bag. The strap is individually adjustable with a cute clasp. Another handy detail if you ask me, because you’ll be thankful to move your hands freely in the chaos of the Wies’n.
The second bag is made from stronger leather and kept in an elegant dark brown tone. The pretty pink embroideries are another eye-catcher without being over the top. They strongly resemble real leather-pants with all their lovely chosen details. Just like the other bag this one offers handles and straps, and is just as high-grade, handy and spacious.
I have to be honest, I had major problems deciding. Both bags are amazing. Whereas I’d combine the lighter bag with a more casual look and the darker one in a more elegant way. But it’s up to you to decide.
The shop has a few other models as well. So I discovered another stunning version in black, with black, blue or green embroideries. Incredibly well made and not just for the Wies’n. Like a dream come true.
My advice: don’t hesitate for too long, since some models are already sold out! And if you need more convincing: use the code amelyrose10 to get 10% on your purchase. Valid until 3rd October 2017.
I’m sitting at uni, well “sitting” doesn’t seem right. I’m slouched on my chair, in the last row and trying my body’s painful best not to stick out. In elementary school I used to hope to get rid of this “please don’t pick me”-behavior soon and to grow up… just like in high school and during my first studies. So far I’ve become an expert at “hiding underneath the table”. The last week before the long awaited summer break has started and for a while now everything turned into: Monday | Monday 2.0 | Monday 3.0 | Monday 4.0 | Friday | Saturday | the day BEFORE Monday, which is just as bad as all the Mondays before. I need holidays!
Proper holidays. Without reading books, visiting new apartments with over-the-top salesmen that smile in your face while explaining hooooow close you were to getting the flat. Without public transport literally freezing as soon as a single snowflake touches the ground. Can’t risk anyone getting hurt! Without strange men that want to “have coffee” with you, without noticing that you’re in a hurry, but still managing to shout at you that “I’m in a hurry, too… girl, we have a lot in common already!” I want holidays without people pretending to be politically correct and gather, simply to have a reason to get wasted together. Because Tuesday Boozeday doesn’t sound nearly as cool – on a Wednesday.
That’s why I made a small list of things I hate, called “Everything’s better… without you”. A new adaption of the “Everything sucks without you” kitsch by sheepworld. Everything’s better without you, dear sick person, sitting next to me on the train, giving his best sneezing performance. Plus those telling me that I look like my mother, don’t need those either. Everything’s better without you, dear student in the first row, because of you, I can’t see nothing. Without you everything’s better and with you I mean all the other students, too. Especially these that are in the best mood every morning, but also those that are always in a shitty mood, kinda. Without overly motivated students that make me look bad everything would be nicer. Just like those that occupy the bathroom whenever I have to go!
Without people telling me I use the word “those” to much, everything would be better… even if this annoys myself too, right now. Everything’s better without people constantly asking me when I’ll finish my studies. And the world would be a better place without the disgusting end pieces of sausages. Had to be said for once!I hate German grammar and I hate people that are politically correct and pro-immigration, but consequently feel the need to correct myself, as if I were a 4-year-old, while smiling down on me because “it’s okay since I’m not a TRUE German.” In general everything would be better without people asking me for the way and people being noisy right when I want to take a nap.
I hate this! I hate telling you that “I love you and I think we share the same feelings” and you have to correct my syntax. And I hate the feeling of messing up my syntax.
I could very well pass on vegans that talk down on my food and people that share their opinion without being asked. Without people that can’t see the difference between criticism and verbal pollution, everything would be better. And the worst are people using very cool English phrases. I hate people that are prettier than me and I hate people on trains that sit down straight on my handbag because the spot was “free”. I hate overly friendly people and I hate unfriendly people. If I think about it, I hate people in general.
And before somebody complains, I hate this text myself. And last but not least, I hate people that are full of hate!
