Traveling Across Germany //

Germany was our second stop on the European adventure! We started off on the eastern side in Bonn, staying with some college friends who showed us around some of the most beautiful churches and views. We spent our days exploring, shooting and getting to know the cities around us. One morning we decided to take advantage of the amazing house we were staying at and shot this beautiful Elcy Clothing lingerie. After a few days of relaxing, we walked up to a vineyard close by, surrounded with stone walls that are straight out of a fairytale! I wore a tan silk romper from Princess Polly Boutique as well as Jay.Nicole necklaces. On one of our daily walks to the subway, we noticed this little hidden garden, full of green trees and tall grass. I grabbed a colorful wrap dress from Le Salty Label that looked magical coming out of the green garden!

Our last day in the eastern part of Germany, we went to Cologne! This town is known for one big tourist attraction, The Dom, a beautiful cathedral with some of the most breathtaking architecture you will ever see! I wore a fun dress from Princess Polly Boutique that I thought fit the theme perfectly! I twirled around the cathedral and fountain just like I had always dreamed of doing.

The next morning, we packed up the rental car, and headed to Berlin! We had been told nothing but good things about this city, it was full of culture, art and so much to do! We stayed in an amazing room 4 floors up, with a view we obviously had to take advantage of :) The first morning I wore an EastnWestLabel bra, paired with a sequin skirt from Princess Polly, and of course a lace choker by Jay.Nicole Jewelry.

We spent the rest of our time here exploring nature, finding little vegan breakfast places, and shooting of course! In one of the pretty walkways I wore a purple dress from Dreamers & Drifters as I explored the many paths leading to our next location. We then found an amazing piece of history, The Dem Deutsche Volke, where I wore a blue dress from Stevie Sister, we enjoyed a fun bubble show, and some really interesting tourists!

Our last day in Germany, I received a random note on the front door..someone was trying to deliver flowers to me, but I had no clue who!! Soon to find out, my amazingly thoughtful boyfriend had surprised me with them! I of course had to take some photos with them! I wore a pink velvet dress from Princess Polly Boutique, as well as a blue romper from Princess Polly Boutique, and jewels from Jay.Nicole Jewelry.

We are very blessed this trip, with amazing people who opened their homes to us, took time out of their days to show us around, and made our experience in Germany one we will never forget!

A Week In London //

London was the start of our amazing one month journey throughout Europe! We decided to rent a car, and try to see as many cities in the country as possible, starting with of course, London. The weather was a bit rainy, but we didn't let it stop us from getting some amazing shots in front of the most famous landmarks! Seeing Big Ben was one of my all time favorite moments of this trip, I have been dreaming of seeing it since I was a little girl, I wore an amazing blue dress from Vici to dance around the rain in and enjoy the moment as much as possible. Of course we also had to get the cool telephone booth shots, I happened to have the perfect printed red dress from Gypsy 05 to match perfectly! After we walked around the streets for a while, we stumbled upon Westminster Palace where there were guards marching and beautiful horses. I wore a romper dress from Stevie Sister as we walked around the park and enjoyed the foliage!

Over the next few days, we drove west towards Bristol, England. We visited cities nearby and managed to pull off the side of the road to take advantage of the amazing fields that are EVERYWHERE! I was lucky enough to run through the greenest field on the way to Bristol, with epic clouds above, wearing a floral dress from Morning Lavender, it flowed in the wind making me feel like a flower gypsy. 

Bristol and Bath are really quaint little towns with beautiful buildings and alleyways that are so picturesque it's impossible to choose one to shoot in! We started off the day walking through the colorful town of Bristol, taking advantage of the houses that never seemed to repeat the same color! I wore the softest tie-dye dress from Gypsy 05 that was perfect for the start of our day. We made our way over to Bath, a beautiful city filled with Roman architecture and way too many tourists! I wore a crop top by Kivari The Label & maxi skirt from Fearless & Flawed that flowed in the wind perfectly. 

The next day, we had one mission, find a castle!! We did so much research and decided to cross the boarder over to Wales. The castle we decided to visit was definitely not a disappointment, Chepstow Castle, located right over the Wye River. There were three different tiers to this property, along with a dragon hunt you can do! I wore one of my favorite dresses from Blackwater that was short in the front, but flowed as I walked with a little train. 

We circled back to London for our last few days, did all the rest of the "must do" tourist spots, and ended at Buckingham Palace. I wore a jumpsuit from Zara as well as Jay.Nicole Jewelry. We tossed a coin in the fountain and enjoyed the last of the city before heading out in the morning to Germany!
