Right after returning from our dreamy vacation, Mike and I decided finally tackle our “outdoor project”. We’ve been meaning to add a few things to our rooftop deck this past year, in order to turn it into our own little tropical paradise. Well, off to the garden center we were – without a clue about gardening and the likes … boy, that was one exhausting afternoon!! We felt so lost and had no idea what plants would work with the weather conditions in Vienna, but after about 2 hours we finally ended up deciding on 2 palm trees, roses (obviously my choice) and some cool grasses to sway in the wind. Along with that we have a little fire place, Mike ordered an amazing outdoor shower, we finally had our outdoor sound system installed & last weekend I got the cutest watering can! There still is a bit of work to be done (ie. figuring out a shade solution, as the wind is simply too strong up there for an umbrella) but it is starting to feel real cozy up there and I wanted to share a few first impressions. More to come later this summer, I promise!

CRAVINGS: prepping for summer
These first few days of June may just as well have been taken straight out of October! We’ve had the most horrible weather for the past 10 days, nothing but rain and around 10°C – I wore my Hunter boots more than anything else … But it seems as if things are finally gravitating towards warmer temperatures, summer is slowly arriving and I already have plenty of cute stuff on my summer-wishlist! We have a small get-away planned for August and until then I am hoping for a bit of sunshine on our rooftop deck to get me through the next few weeks. While browsing Girissima.com I came across the most adorable pineapple bikini, and decided to dedicate this weeks Sunday Cravings to a few of my summer must-haves!

CRAVINGS: summer neutrals
Even though June is just around the corner, the current weather in Vienna feels more like fall and I actually got my biker boots out again. BUT with this week’s Sunday Cravings I am staying optimistic that Mr. Summer will soon make an appearance! I’d love to wear this whole ensemble for work or an afternoon stroll through the 1st district. And I am totally crushing on those silver revas and the oversized Topshop cardi ♥

TRAVELS: island life on Kuramathi
Even though we’re already back in Vienna, I am still dreaming about our days on Kuramathi Island. I finally managed to go through over 1.200 photos and created a little collection of our “island life” for you guys. We spent our days sipping of fresh fruit juices, walking around the island, snorkeling with sharks and enjoying cocktails during sunset. It really doesn’t get much better – trust me!
Wishing you all a wonderful Sunday!
