Life Update | + Summer bucket list

LifeUpdate

//scroll down for german version//

It feels so great to be blogging again! I really missed it the last few months, but I wanted to wait for
my new layout to arrive before starting again. How do you guys like it? I also chose a new name, because I just could´t see the old one anymore. It still isn´t my favorite one yet, but I´ll figure it out.

The summer holidays started yesterday, and although it does´t feel like summer yet, I spend most of my time tanning in my hammock. The last few weeks have been dedicated to school and work and more school, so I will do nothing but take the 6 weeks off to treat myself. And as for almost every season, I write down a small bucket list with goals I want to achieve or things I just want to do for fun.. I mean, you know how a bucket list works. In August, I will go on a vacation to Denmark (second home to me since I was 3), which I am super excited about and I hope to be productive there concerning taking photos and writing. 

First thing on my bucket list is to have a barbecue with my best friends this summer. The holidays are only two days in and I already miss them so much. We´ve been trying to plan a barbecue for weeks and it´s the perfect thing to do on a summer night. 

Get fit! I just recently started playing volleyball on a team and it really motivates me to try not to be the worst one on the team :D I´m really looking forward to the beach as well, so I can go jogging and do my working out outside.

Next, I want to read more. This sounds like such a stereotype resolution, but books are better than netflix in summer. Even I have to admit that!

Final goal on the list is to take up writing a journal again. It helps so much to write the most important memories down every once in a while and I already see myself as a granny, handing my books down to my grand children...okay, that´s not the point.

Oh, wie ich das Bloggen doch vermisst habe! Aber ich wollte noch auf das neue Layout warten, damit mir auch wirklich alles gefällt, wenn ich wieder anfange zu schreiben. Wie findet ihr das Design? Und habt ihr noch gute Namensvorschläge für den Blog? Ich bin in der Hinsicht nämlich ziemlich unkreativ.

Wir haben hier in NRW seit gestern Sommerferien, obwohl es sich noch kein Stück nach Sommer anfühlt. Ich mache das beste daraus und entspanne mich nach wochenlangem Schulstress endlich wieder. Und wie jedes Jahr und zu fast jeder Jahreszeit habe ich eine kleine Bucket List geschrieben, mit Dingen, die ich unbedingt diesen Sommer noch machen will. Natürlich ist das nicht alles, aber selbst ein Planungsfreak wie ich sollte auch mal versuchen spontan zu sein :D

Als erstes möchte ich unbedingt eine Grillparty mit meinen besten Freunden schmeißen. Wir haben uns zwar erst seit ein paar Tagen nicht gesehen, aber ich vermisse sie schon so  sehr und hoffe, dass wir endlich mal dazu kommen, was wir uns schon seit Wochen vornehmen.

Ich will fit werden! Das eigentlich schon seit Ewigkeiten, aber da ich seit April in einem Volleyball-Team spiele habe ich endlich einen Ansporn gefunden nicht mehr die schlechteste zu sein. Außerdem freue ich mich schon so sehr auf den Strand, damit ich endlich draußen Laufen gehen und Sport machen kann. 

Als nächstes möchte ich mehr Lesen. Das klingt nach einem typischen Neujahrsvorsatz, aber selbst ich muss mal zugeben, dass Bücher im Sommer besser sind als Netflix!

Zu guter Letzt nehme ich mir wieder vor Tagebuch zu schreiben. Ich liebe es nach Monaten wieder auf alte Erlebnisse zurückzuschauen und vielleicht interessiert sich eines Tages jemand für meine Teenager-Tage... nicht.

The last thing, that I´m looking forward to this summer is the Lollapalooza festival in Berlin in September. Please let me know, If you will be there! I am already so excited , because I´ve never been to a festival before, but it will be amazing anyways! 

Love, Viktoria

Outfit: Walking Tire

PicMonkey Collage
Todays Outfit is one  that I thought about posting for a couple of days because I am still not sure if I like it or not. I felt really comfortable wearing it, but when I saw the pictures, I thought: 'dammit, I look like a car tire!' I do really like the faux-leather leggins with the turtleneck (It´s not a dress ,just a  long sweater with slits on each side), but the jacket is kind of too much. I still decided to post it, because... I don't know. Anyways, I hope you all have a nice sunday!

So I will just show you some of the pictures I have taken and think of something better next time! Please let me know in the comments if you want so see my new years resolutions/goals!

New Years Eve:
My New Years was not really anything special. I had dinner with m best friend´s family ans met some friends afterwards to light up the fireworks. And I did take some pictures:

Hamburg:
My brother moved to Hamburg in October and on Saturday and Sunday we visited him in his new adopted home town for the first time. I really loved the city with with its nautical culture. We walked a lot, ate at nice restaurants,  took the ferry and really enjoyed our stay in the 19th flop with a great view over Hamburg!

Outfit: Frosty Beach | +NYE!

DSC_0316

It´s already  the last day of 2015! I can't believe how time flies, but it has been a great year anyways. I´m so thankful for all the people I´ve met, the places I´ve seen and most important of all: My friends who were there for me no matter what! And Thank YOU too, for supporting this blog for a whole year now.
Since my family isn´t united at new years eve, we decided to go to the nether lands the day before. We took a long walk on the beech and enjoyed the clear air and the ocean breeze. It´s crazy, that the weather is still nice enough to go to the beach in december.
Okay, now about the outfit that I wore: I´m obsessed with wearing dresses in Winter, and I got a "burned-orange" colored cord dress for Christmas. I paired it with a black turtleneck, over knee socks and my beloved Timberland boots. Honestly, I don't like my yellow jacket with the outfit, but It was the warmest option (and I was freezing when I took it off for theses photos!). And the Longchamp bag wasn't perfect either, but it was the only thing that all my stuff would fit in! I guess every girl knows the struggle! The necklace is the same that I talked about in my last post. I got it for Christmas as well, because lately I´ve been loving golden accessory and my Tiffany&Co neckless doesn't go with that really well. Last but not least, my watch couldn't be missing.

I hope you enjoy New Years Eve! I will spend it with my best friend. I haven't seen her since Christmas, so I´m beyond excited. I´m looking forward to the fireworks,the good food and honestly also to go to bed after all the crazy festivities. 

See you in 2016 everyone. Be safe and sound!
Love, V

Outfit: Monday Stroll

DSC_0229
My first new years resolution was to do more fashion posts on this blog. Et voilà! Who would have though that a Monday could be so productive? Anyways, lets talk about the outfit. The sweater was one of my Christmas presents. The silhouette reminds me of a pumpkin, but I like that. Turtlenecks are all the rage at the moment, so it´s nice to see something else every now and then. My jeans are worn-out wax-coated jeans. I should get new ones soon, but from time to time I like to wear things, that looked used, because it means that they´re loved. Just like my bag. It´s a couple years old and doesn't keep it´s shape really well anymore, but the gold zipper went perfectly with my golden jewelry, my watch and my boots. I´m sorry that you can't see my accessorizes in these pictures, but I´m wearing a dainty necklace, tiny earrings and a Kapten&Son Watch. I honesty can´t remember if I´ve ever shown these boots on this blog. I know they were in my fall wish list, but I don't think I ever wore them... So, in case you haven´t noticed: I got them for my birthday. Excuse my non-exsisting ambition to clean them, but as I said, it´s just another way to show how much I love them! Okay, I think that´s it. Nothing spectacular, but a cozy late-december outfit for a stroll through town.

VIKIS VOGUE turns 1!

What could be more important today than a Christmas Post? Its my anniversary! Well, not mine, but the Blog´s. Happy Birthday to VIKIS VOGUE! One year has past since my first post came online. The whole idea of writing an own blog was born months before that in my room in New Zealand, but 2015 was supposed to be the year. So I wrote. It was a "What I got for Christmas" Post, written in German with pictures that got deleted after a while, which was a major disaster back then! Unfortunately I never posted a lot. A bit more than 30 posts in one year. Shame on me! But I´m willing to commit my next year to this blog! Or how I like to say:

600_1


So, what I like to say is, that I want to be more active, develop something I´m really proud of. I want to concentrate more on fashion. There are only two or three outfit posts on this blog, although I want it to be a fashion blog. Nevertheless, thank you to those who stuck around for a year, wrote comments and read my posts. It really means a lot to me!  Love, V

My new hair!

Aaaaaah what happened to my hair? I cut it all off. Well, not all of it, of course, but about 5 inches for sure... And, what can I say? I absolutely love it! I think it suits me much better than the long, stubborn hair. Only disadvantage: I will have to straighten my hair every day, because otherwise I will look like a triangle. Shit happens. But anyways, here are some pictures!
