Hello everyone! It’s good to be back after having fully enjoyed my vacation in Berlin and its surroundings. It was so nice and interesting to travel around, to blend in the culture and exercise my German. I would like to thank my lovely blogger friends for their beautiful contribution on my blog while I was away; I know you loved their posts. And thank you for your wishes on my birthday, I could read them, but couldn’t possibly comment because of the poor internet connectivity.
Among the everyday sightseeing you can imagine that I squeezed in some shopping. One of the things I love about travelling is discovering local brands or at least new ones, like in the case of Roeckl. I have blogged about it before , but now I had the chance to try the quality of their fine leather products, with a tradition dating back in 1839, and feel the fabrics of their beautiful silk and cashmere print scarves, the best possible, and much cheaper, alternative to Hermès. I am now one happy owner (how I love sales!) of a gorgeous Roeckl floral scarf (this remains my favourite way of wearing this summer trend) and a pair of the softest leather gloves. Because, aren’t details everything?
Later today I’m guest posting at one of my favourite blogs, Captivated by image . I’m happy to fill in for Christel while she is on vacation. I hope she is having a fabulous time and I am sure she will surprise us with some beautiful photography from her trip, as she always does. (Update: Oops! I guess I am not on today at Christel’s, but I invite you to head over for another lovely guest post of my blogger friend LatteLisa ). Wishing you all a wonderful week!

glad you’re back! la Diverta si inca cred ca mai e, eu le-am luat sambata:)
is the scarf you got pictured in these? ohh well, they are all exquisite!
@nookie
merci pentru info 😉
No, my scarf is not one of these. It isn’t featured in the catalogue and I can’t take a picture of it either because my camera kind of broke off (during my vacation! if you can believe it). 🙁 It’s in lovely palette of coral, green, blue and white, love it! 🙂
Glad to have you back, Ada! I trust you had a wonderful time!

welcome back!
i ve never been to Berlin, would u like to put some photos here? :p
@denise
I’m thinking of posting some photos, yes, but as I’ve mentioned in one of my comments before, i had some difficulties with my camera (that’s one of the worst things to happen on vacation, right?) and I’ll have to see if I’m pleased with what I’ve managed to photograph. 🙂
Scarves, scarves and some more scarves! I cannot get enough. They are like little delish macarons. Don’t need many to feel super candied and just well in one’s heels. Paris hugs for the week, dear!
Hi Ada! Hope your holidays were fantastic and you got a relax. Lisa and Christel are lovely girls and their blogs my daily read also. I am becoming a fan of the scarves and theese have fabulous colours. Thank you! have a great week…
