#outfitpreview • Let’s start this Random Picture post with a few of my upcoming looks. We’ve been two busy bees shooting our way through Hamburg and preparing some fall looks for you. There’s lots to come and I’m happy that the weather is letting us take some usable pictures. ;) Soon, it will be too rainy, too windy, too dark and too “I don’t want to go outside!” – oh, fall/winter season, you’re every blogger’s worst enemy (if only the background weren’t that beautiful with either lots of colorful leaves or shiny white snow…)!

#shoppingtime • Talking about outfits, I’ve got this little shopping tip for you – remember this beautiful pink and purple pixel coat from last year? It’s available again, but this year in two different styles and three different colors (unfortunately not pink – but I really like the gray version!). Get them both → here with a belt or click → here for the open oversized version.

#foodie • I had this utterly delicious Teriyaki Salmon at “Yoshi” in the “Alsterhaus” here in Hamburg and it was SO good that I can’t wait to get another one. The fish was absolutely on point, the sauce was creamy and intense and the vegetables were fresh and crunchy. Only some side dish, like rice, was missing. Anyways: also try the fried salmon skin, it’s yummy! :)

#beachyouttakes • Gosh, I miss the beach. And at the same time, I’m still laughing about the bitchy (or rather beachy!) waves who kept attacking me (mainly from behind and unexpectedly) and are responsible for these funny outtake pictures. Whether I was just posing for a nice picture with my jumpsuit or trying not to be washed away in my bikini, there was always that one (ice-cold!) wave that left me completely soaked – and laughing. Wanna go back!

#BeachBodyNotSorry…Again • After 2.5 months, my Drip Swimwear swimsuit finally arrived. It was actually supposed to come with me to Brazil, but somehow the postal service managed to commit a major fail. Sent from LA on August 12, processed on September 18 here in Hamburg at customs, it finally arrived at my home on October 27. Now it’s way too cold to take some pictures at our German beaches, that’s why I just got two snapshots for you. This swimsuit is so cool – you can wrap and knot it in many ways and that’s just one of them. Guess we’ll find out next summer how many I can do. ;) Plus, that’s my new haircut – very short now. My hair was dead after Brazil and had to be chopped off. But I actually love it like this! :)

We’re getting closer to the finish of my → #BeachBodyNotSorry series – I hope you’re not bored or getting annoyed because I still got at least one look left (and another swimsuit is still on its way!). But today it’s all about me playing geisha at the beach. :)

Unfortunately, my swimsuit is not available anymore, but I found a great alternative at ASOS from → Miraclesuit. Also, my “beach towel” is only a piece of fabric that I tied to a little skirt. The umbrella was a gift at an event by Kenzo, Givenchy and Fendi (and great on their rooftop terrace on a sunny afternoon) – since I was already adding kind of a Japanese touch to my swimsuit with my skirt, I just thought, “why not?” and brought the umbrella with me for my little transformation. ;) I tried to be as dignified and delicate as a real geisha (I really admire their beautiful art and dedication to it!) even though it looks a little clumsy, reminding myself that I’m plus-sized, haha! ;)

Anyways, I liked the idea of joining another movement of the curvy community called #dropthetowel (I won’t link the Instagram tag page as some guys didn’t really get the point…), and even though I already mentioned my little thigh problem in my last beach body post, here’s my thighs and butt in full bloom, just for you. No retouching, no removing of any flaws – just me. And you know what? I feel beautiful. Just like a geisha.

Wait, is this really Hamburg? No beach abroad? Yup. We’re back at the dunes… I really love this place and the fine sand makes me feel like I’m on vacation somewhere far, far away. :) Today, I don’t want to write too much – just let you enjoy these pictures, which are my favorites since, like… forever. :) I love the whole look and also, this swimsuit is a piece that made me very happy when I bought it. Here’s another proud addition to my → #BeachBodyNotSorry series and hopefully further proof that curves don’t need to be hidden at the beach!
