Happy New Year - 2017 Blog Resolutions

As the year 2016 came to an end, I decided to take the days between Christmas and New Year's and tried to relax as much as possible, which meant that I also kept away from the blog for some time. 2016 has been a really hectic and stressy year for me and it kept me quite busy. The blog has been neglected a bit and I feel that I want to change this in 2017. I have missed blogging, even though I kept posting quite frequently, I feel that my focus was never there and I want to put my heart in it once again. Aheartandsoulstory is not just a random name, but I actually want to give it my all once again. This little blog will turn 6 soon and I am still not done with blogging. I miss it and want to do more in those upcoming months, with more content and not just outfit posts. I've got loads of ideas, just have to fulfill them! Let's see how that goes :)

What I wore

Shirt & Blazer: Primark

Skirt: vintage, thrifted, was actually a dress once

Tights: Esda

Shoes: Deichmann

Ring & Necklace: Kalevala

Earrings: Christmas market booth

Watch: Skagen

This year, I went with a comfortable look for Christmas eve. Normally, I will wear a very pretty dress that get's more and more uncomfortable to wear with every minute you sit down and every bite you take. I learned from my mistakes :) and wanted to be more comfortable during the festivities. Therefore, this stretchy skirt was super easy to wear and the burgundy blouse on top felt lightweight and comfortable the entire day. Later, I switched out the blazer for a cozy cardigan, but other than that this look was definitely a good choice for a day with my family that included loads of eating :)

My face when I opened the box to this beautiful Kalevala Twinflower necklace that Mr.B gave me for Christmas!

Looking Back - Indian Summer in Regensburg

It has been a couple of weeks since we last travelled to Regensburg. Mr.B's sister is living there and we recently helped her move into a new apartment. On an earlier trip in the end of August, we had more time to actually explore the city and not jsut carry around boxes and furniture. It was a perfect late summer weekend with sun, warmth and great moments with our loved ones. When looking at these photos, I really miss the warm weather.

Es ist schon einige Wochen her seit wir nach Regensburg gereist sind. Mr.B's Schwester lebt dort und wir haben ihr vor kurzem mit dem Umzug in eine neue Wohnung geholfen. Während eines anderen Besuchs Ende August hatten wir jedoch ein bisschen mehr Zeit, um auch die Stadt im Spätherbst zu erleben. Wir haben das Wochenende mit Sonne, Wärme und schönen Momenten mit unserer Familie verbracht. Wenn ich jetzt die Bilder sehe, vermisse ich das warme Wetter schon sehr.

Some of us went swimming in the river Donau!
