Kazakhstan Part II (OOTD's)

Skirt (used as Top) - Primark / Skirt - Evans / Shoes - Deichmann

Hier sind meine Freundin Assel und ich vor dem Khan Shatyr, Astana's beliebtestes Shopping Centre. Dort gibt es ganz viele Europäische Läden wie Monsoon, Next oder New Yorker. Allerdings sind die Preise dort auch ganz schön gepfeffert und wir sind nur zum Schaufenster bummeln dort gewesen. Ich kaufe halt lieber auf dem örtlichen Basar ein ;)

Here you can see my friend Assel and me in front of the Khan Shatyr, Astana's most popular shopping centre. It has a lot of European shops like Monsoon, Next and New Yorker. As you can imagine, their prices are even higher than here (and I consider Monsoon already uite pricey!) and we've only been there to look around. I definitely prefer shopping at the local basar ;)

My grandfather and me at the same location, but I just wanted to put up this picture to show how cute my grandfather is ♥

Posing again, but in front of a fountain on the left bankside. This was by far my favourite dress this summer, it's very light and comfy to walk around in!

So, das war's dann für dieses Jahr mit Kasachstan, aber ich hoffe euch haben die Bilder gefallen :)

That's it with Kazakhstan this year, but  I hope you liked these photos :)

Kazakhstan Part I (OOTD's)

Hallo meine Lieben,
Erstmal tut es mir leid für meine lange Abwesenheit (mal wieder...), aber ich war für ein paar Wochen auf Familienbesuch in Kasachstan :)
Auch wenn es jetzt kein "richtiger" Urlaub war, hab ich mich super erholt - ich hatte endlich mal wieder Zeit zum Lesen und meine Mama und ich waren viel shoppen und am Fluss schwimmen! Mein Opa hat sich natürlich auch seeeehr gefreut uns wiederzusehen, vor allem bei mir war es jetzt schon zwei Jahre her, dass ich bei ihm war.
Da bestimmt die wenigsten von euch schon mal dort waren, wollte ich euch mal zeigen wie es denn mal in der Hauptstadt Astana aussieht und was ich im Urlaub so getragen habe. Da es relativ viele (zumindest für mich viele, haha) Fotos sind, kommt ein zweiter Post in ein paar Tagen. Viel Spaß damit :)

Sorry for my long absence (again...) but I've been on a family holiday to Kazakhstan for a couple of weeks :)
Even if it wasn't a "proper" holiday trip, I was able to relax a lot - I finally found some time to read and my mum and I did loads of shopping and swimming at the local river. My grandfather obviously was really happy to see us again, especially me who hasn't been there for two years.
As probably most of you haven't been to Kazakhstan (yet), I wanted to show you guys what it looked like in the capitol Astana and what I was wearing on vacation. There are loads of photos (at least for me they seem loads, lol), there will be a second post in a couple of days. Enjoy :)

Normalerweise teilt man Astana in linkes und rechtes Ufer. Am rechten Ufer befindet sich die "alte" Stadt und am rechten die neue (und unglaublich helle & futuristische) Stadt. Mein Opa lebt in der alten Stadt und ich persönlich bin froh darüber, weil die neue Stadt sehr steril und charakterlos ist.

Astana is usually divided into left and right bankside. The right bankside holds the "old" city and the left bankside the new (and awfully shiny & futuristic) city. My grandfather lives on the left bank, not far from the river and personally I am glad he doesn't live on the sterile right bank.

Here's a photo of the left bankside, including of Astana's Bayterek (which is basically a viewing platform from which you can see most of Astana).
