I think my style has changed. I noticed when I was looking through my old Instagram photos. I used to wear skirts and florals, dressed a lot girlier - even just a year ago. But now I seem to stick to (ripped) jeans, t-shirts and cardigans. But I'm not saying, that's a bad thing. Your style changes as you grow older. Not that I find myself boring now, I think I never had as much fun and was as experimental as I am right now.
So I thought I might show you some of my recent outfits and also how I used to dress.

I'm probably the worst blogger ever. I really wanted to get into it and now it's almost a year ago that I published my last blogpost. Still, I'll try to make it work this time and post more often. I do have a lot of things I wanna write about but I haven't found the time to do so.
This past year has been crazy. I fell in love with a boyband and found the best friend.We knew each other since we were kids but we lost contact. In 2013 we started hanging out again and after our vacation in 2014 we became the bestest of friends. In 2014 we went to a lot of One Direction concerts. We also travelled a lot and we moved in together.
This last year has been one of the best because of her. I haven't felt so loved by friend ever before. We do have arguements sometimes but we both know that we love each other and are there for one another. I can be completely myself with her and I don't care what anybody thinks about me when we're together. She also made me a lot more confident and I really wanna thank her for that.
So my first blogpost is dedicated to Merle. Because she makes me better and encourages me to be myself.
We also started a Youtube-Channel , if you'd like to check it out! :)
After already mentioning my one week trip to Blåvand (Denmark) in my last post, I thought it would be fun to share some photos.
In Germany, every year when the high school graduates are done with their exams, they go on a trip to party. Yes, I am already 22 years old and my graduation was four years ago. But my friend Merle is a riding teacher and through that she knows many people in high school. She thought it would be a great idea to go too and I quite liked the idea. Being 18 again.
Blåvand is a very small village with a lot of houses to rent for holiday. The students rent houses in groups and every night there are parties in them or at the beach.
We met a lot of great people and it was so much fun. Of course, the days could be quite hard with bad hangovers ;)
We decided to film our trip and if you speak german then head over to our YouTube-Channel to watch them if you like. There will be videos in english coming soon as well.
If you want to meet fun people and party a whole week long at house parties (which are often actually better than at a club to be honest)then you might wanna check out Blåvand in may. If you don't want that then avoid going there in this month and visit any other. The rest of the year it is very relaxing and pretty there.
Love,
Mia.

Reading teenage-magazines to feel like teenagers...
...and becoming quite obsessed with a certain boyband.
Warning: This might seem crazy and if you don't like teenage behaviour then you should probably not read any further ;)
(Best Song Ever)
This is the story of how I became a boyband-loving-22-year-old-teenage-fangirl. Even though this is actually not at all the kind of music I usually listen to. I like The Killers, Arctic Monkeys, Editors, The Libertines and so on. Not pop-music. At least that's what I thought.
I feel like I'm a teenager again. Originally I just bought my niece One Direction tickets for christmas - it's her favourite band. I didn't even know them very well to be honest. She was really happy about it and my friend Merle bought a ticket too to join us.
In may Merle and I went on holiday to Denmark where we spent the nights partying(more about that coming soon). But we had nothing to do at daytime. Before the trip we decided to lend my nieces One Direction CD's to get to know this band. We even took their movie "This Is Us". And watching that movie and listening to their music was nearly all we did in our house by day.
So after some time we knew all the lyrics and through the film we got to know the band members quite well. Of course we picked our favourites - mine's Louis and Merle's is Zayn. You have to pick a favourite out of a boyband, right? ;)
We acted like teenagers and got actually really exited for the concert. After that holiday we decided (to be honest we were a little drunk) to buy concert tickets for another show.
The day of the first concert came - Dusseldorf. We sat quite far up but it was so good. The athmosphere and all the other fans were amazing. Everyone dressed up, so we had to do the same of course! And the best thing was my niece: She was so happy!
And we were happy that we bought tickets for another concert: 2 days later in Berne, Switzerland. Because we didn't have enough money left we tried couchsurfing for the first time and it was really fun.
The concert in Berne was even better than the first one. We were standing this time - front row! We may have been a little rude and forced our way to the front but we are in love so that's okay. I think.. haha
From the first concert we knew the support band 5 Seconds of Summer and on our train ride to Switzerland we listened to their music and liked them as well. And of course, favourite's alarm: I like Ashton, Merle likes Calum.
When One Direction came on stage it started raining. Not just a bit but it was pelting down with rain.. But it was still so much fun! Even though I was a little sick afterwards...
We eventually decided that 2 concerts weren't enough and bought tickets for Portugal. Yes, now it gets really crazy. We noticed that ourselves. If you want to read more about our trip to Porto then head over to our joined blog: mijazouis.blogspot.de
If some of you like One Direction, then I hope you enjoyed this and will like the photos and videos. If not, I'm sorry. I'll try to upload more blogposts now. Maybe on a weekly basis? Hope I can stick to that.
I really want to visit so many places! But there is one thing that hinders me.. I fell in love with two cities. Stockholm and London are in my heart and everytime I think about my next trip, I come back to one of these cities. I'd love to see Barcelona, I want to go back to Paris and I really wanna see Reykjavik and Helsinki - you see I like city-trips.
But my best friend (and travel-buddy) does love London too and we both can't help it and get back.
But my travel-bucket-list still exists and in the next years I wanna visit different countries! I'll do my best!
I hope I'm not the only person having this "problem".. and that I can get myself to discover new territories. ;)
London is one of my favourite places to visit. I love the feeling you get when you're there. Can't really explain it.. that's probably something you have to see for yourself.
The first time I visited I was 16 or 17 and still in school. Since then I visit London almost every year.
The shopping is great, of course. But the nightlife and the food is also something you have to try!
Last time I went to London, my best friend and I discovered The Breakfast Club. We actually only wanted to go there once, but after we tried the pancakes we had to come again the next day, and the day after that. We honestly went there every single day of the week. Definitely try the "Avocado and poached egg", my absolute favourite!
For shopping, I always look forward to Topshop. The one at Oxford Circus is so big that you can spend all day in it. There's even a hair dresser and cafe in it. Heaven for all girls..
At night, I really enjoyed the Electric Ballroom. But there are so many clubs you can go to. Just try them all out! ;)
What you should not miss of course is the Camden Market! Definitely try to go there on a sunday, that's when there's a lot more than on any other day. You can get nearly everything there and it's the best thing to do on a hangover day..
Another market you shouldn't miss is the Portobello Market on saturday's. Comes right after Camden on my personal list.
And for all you Harry Potter Fans like me: At Kings Cross they built Gate 9 3/4 where you can take pictures (I have only an old one for you). And the Warner Bros Studio Tour is also something you should visit as a true Harry fan. You can see the original filmsets and you can drink Butterbeer (not as tasty as I imagined, but hey, you can keep the cup)!
Another activity I can recommend, is going to a musical. There are so many of them but this year was our first time that we actually went to one. We saw "Rock of Ages" and it was so much better than we expected! So funny! If you have the chance, go watch it!
So, as you can probably tell, my love for London is big.. too big for my wallet probably. But i'ts worth spending all the money. Never had a bad time in this city!

Although the weather is getting better I really miss going on vacation and visit other countries. Last summer, my best friend and I went to sweden for 6 weeks. And until I can go away again I just look at the photos..
