Strawberry Temptation

Inspiring accessorys by Accessorize.

Hi^^. This afternoon I went shopping with my friend DH into the new mall in our city. I haven't been there before, so I was quite excited to get there. It is really huge(!!!) and we both walked our feet off...but I found some veeery nice pieces^^ and this makes me understandably happy!! It is always fun going out with D, 'cause we have the same size in clothes and shoes, like the same stores and often even the same pieces =). After all the exhausting running about, we stopped at Starbucks (I am said to be addicted - so what?!!) and I tried the Frappuccino Strawberry with Cream, which was really delicious! D. had Vanilla Cream (but Strawberry is better :P). I wish everyone a nice beginning of the new week^^.
Love, Lilly :)

PS.: Going shopping on Sunday is an exception in Germany (occuring every few months), as the stores are normally closed on Sunday.

A new club!

Lilly wears: mister&lady jeans, h&m top+bracelet, tallyweijl bag, six earings, vintage necklace, graceland heels.

Hi girls^^. I went out with my friend DH. to a new party location to dance and now we are equally enthusiastic about it! The interior features black sofas with loads of cozy cushions (pillow fights are strongly recommended), a rather small dance area and many light effects and monitors with streaming light sequences. So after dancing your heart out (the music was really good!), you can drop into a mountain of pillows and relax! We will be going there again!!
Love, Lilly =)

Bewitched...



Today I found this fantastic commercial with Audrey Tautou, the actress of "Amélie" (2001) for the french perfume 'Chanel No.5'. I love the story of this video! Can't I meet a man like this one?! =) Besides, I have a new favourite song: Too Young by Queensberry (you gotta listen to it!!). And I watched Bewitched (2005) with Nicole Kidman this evening. She is such a cute witch! I wish I could have a house like hers (interior colours white and soft pink, huge garden, magic cat as pet...) and I absolutely adore the fluffy skirt she wears to her date with Jake! Life would be so much fun with a little bit more magic^^. Tomorrow I'll be out with my friend DH. and we planned something special, so I am looking forward to it! Love, Lilly :)

Enjoying a cool night breeze at the train...

...both visit the turkish city Istanbul...

...they finally meet each other at the station.

Welcome Wellies

Supercute wellies by Gioseppo.

Hi^^. For my next trip to the coast I need a pair of wellies! So I started a fun search and here are my favourites... Which one do you like best? I have to admit that I finally opted for a completely black pair(-.-). The chocolate pair is great^^. Current favourite song: Lucky by Britney Spears (don't frown, I love it!!). She is soo lucky...lalala... isn't she lucky?
Your lucky Lilly :))

Summer favourites

All available at the H&M online store.

Hi^^. My favourites for summer of the h&m summer collection. The cushion is from the first h&m home collection. I love floral prints and little butterflys, that's easy to guess, isn't it?! Along with a tasty strawberry ice cup and a nice book summer can come!
Love, Lilly :))

A flush of senses

Rachel Hurd-Wood as Laure Richis

Hi^^. I get the impression that 'Lillys Garden' should be renamed into 'Lillys Cinema', because the movies are definitely taking over the recent topics^^. Seems like I am much into them at the moment, so I hope that's okay! Yesterday they aired the movie 'Perfume: The Story of a Murderer' (2006) after the novel 'perfume' by the German author Patrick Süßkind. I read it when I was fourteen years old, so in the retroperspective this appeared to be a little early -.-. The story is about a young man who posseses the ability to smell all odours of the world and to differentiate and locate them. He becomes the assistant of a perfumer and struggles to fulfill his life goal: to capture the fragrance of beautiful young women and create the world's best perfume. Sadly, his attempts are unsettling and depressing and he turns into a sought-after criminal to fulfill his dream. It is a pure flush of senses, bewitching, fragrant, colourful, nightmarish, gloomy, mournful und touching...maybe a masterpiece. If you watch the movie, don't miss out the book! Love,
Lilly :))
Laure is the most beautiful girl in town.

As it is in heaven


Edit: Before you wonder, I tryed to make the video smaller in size, but it didn't work, so please imagine it a little smaller-.-.

Hi :). I got the chance to watch Matrix Reloaded (2003)! So apparently I will be like "Mmmmh...Keanu Reeves" for the whole next day :))). Hopefully on Sunday I can see the last part (Matrix Revolutions). The fighting scenes are so impressive, I have really respect for all people who train kungfu (in the movie it is of course a little over the top, but that makes all the fun!). For this post I initially decided to post my current favourite song! It is called "Gabriellas Song" (by Helen Sjöholm) and is featured in the Swedish movie "As it is in heaven" (2004) by Kay Pollak. The song sounds best in the original language, for a translation please scroll down a little. I love to hear it all and all over again and I am training to sing along in Swedish^^.
Love, Lilly :))

It is now that my life is mine
I've got this short time on earth
And my longing has brought me here
All I lacked and all I gained

And yet it's the way that I chose
My trust was far beyond words
That has shown me a little bit
Of the heaven I've never found

I want to feel I'm alive
All my living days
I will live as I desire
I want to feel I'm alive
Knowing I was good enough

I have never lost who I was
I have only left it sleeping
Maybe I never had a choice
Just the will to stay alive

All I want is to be happy
Being who I am
To be strong and to be free
To see day arise from night

I am here and my life is only mine
And the heaven I thought was there
I'll discover it there somewhere
I want to feel that I've lived my life!
