ZARA wrap blouse red, white stripes | Bikinis & Passports

unu, due, tre

Riding scooters has a very Italian vibe to me. In my head, I always have this image of hopping onto the back of a scooter to grab some gelato. Probably super cliché, I know, but also kind of romantic, no?

Ever since my best friend got a Vespa last year, I have been contemplating with the same idea. It is such an easy and uncomplicated way to get around town. You can always find parking (which is free for scooters and motorcycles in Vienna, and most other cities, I guess) and sneak through traffic where a car usually wouldn’t fit. Of course, Winter is not the most suitable season to drive on two wheels in Vienna, but luckily that only takes up a few weeks out of the year.

Long story short: I have been wanting to test-drive a scooter for a long time now to see if it would be something I like. When I was asked if I wanted to borrow an unu scooter for a week, the answer was a no-brainer.

The first few minutes on the 3000w electric scooter took some courage and getting used to, but once I got the hang of riding around town on “my” baby, I was hooked.

Unfortunately, the scooter has now moved onto the next lucky test-driver, but before I returned it, I managed to snap a few photos. Including my version of an Italian-inspired outfit (complete with red & white stripes) which I actually wore to dinner at Fabio’s, our favorite Italian restaurant. Lots of Italy, but how could I not make at least part of the image in my head come to life? Now the only thing missing is that gelato… ?

    For a while there, I wasn’t sure if we would ever see the sun again.

  1. Die Bluse ist toll und passt super zum italienisch angehauchten post!
    Ich bin früher Vespa gefahren, vielleicht sollte ich es auch mal wieder probieren und dafür das Auto stehen lassen.
    Ach ja: die Tasche! Ganz große Liebe für das Modell in dieser Farbe.

    Love xo

  2. Mit so einem schnellen Flitzer durch die Stadt zu düsen, hat auf jeden Fall etwas! Ich würde auch nicht Nein sagen;) Dein Outfit sieht klasse aus, die Wickelbluse ist wirklich ein Hingucker!

  3. Ich hatte während der Oberstufe für 3 Jahre einen Roller und habs geliebt!
    Sie sind im Sommer einfach so praktisch und gerade als ich noch keine 18 war super gut um zur Schule oder Freunden zu fahren – ohne auf die Eltern zu vertrauen, dass sie einen fahren können.
    Leider haben wir den Roller letztes Jahr (mit Beginn des Studiums) verkauft, aber gerade jetzt im Sommer vermiss ich es schon.
    Klar ist allerdings, dass ich mir spätestens nach dem Studium eine Vespa kaufen werde.
    Dein Look gefällt mir übrigens super gut. Die Bluse ist ein Traum und passt ja perfekt zur Tasche.
    Love it.

  4. Ohhhhhh ich bin ganz verliebt in das Outfit! Vor allem in die Jeans 🙂

    Hast du eine Idee, wo ich ein ähnliches Modell Studenten Geldbeutel tauglich herbekommen könnte?

    1. Liebe Bernadette,

      ich persönlich habe bei ZARA schon oft gute Hosen ergattert – vielleicht haben die im Rahmen der neuen Herbstkollektion auch einfach eine super schlichte Skinny Jeans in ähnlicher Waschung.
      Alles Liebe,
      Vicky
