freedom

LOCATION: BLACK PALACE BEACH, DUBAI

When I was twelve years old I read a quote by John Lennon. He wrote as a student in an assigment what he wanted to be when he grew up: he wanted to be happy. The teachers told him he didn’t understand the assigment and he told them they didn’t understand life. On my travels I get to that point where I smile all day, just breath in, breath out and think to myself: If I would die now, I would die totally happy.

I still find pictures from Dubai I couldn’t show you yet. These were taken by my friend Larissa Strachwitz at the Al Mamzar beach park in Dubai, I’m wearing a Free People dress and Emian Bohe sunglasses. Please take me back!

desert flower

LOCATION: SAHARA, DUBAI

Our trip to the red dunes was a dream coming true. As you probably know I’ve already seen the desert in Australia but the Arabic desert is even more picturesque. So if you’re traveling to Dubai make sure that you also see the hinterland with a private guide, it’s so amazing! I hope you like the pictures my friend Larissa shot of me - I’m wearing a Free People dress and bare feet.

spa at jumeirah

LOCATION: TALISE SPA

Located in the heart of Mandinat Jumeirah, there’s this beautiful spa and pool area where we enjoyed a massage and spend a whole day relaxing. I highly appreciated the coconut water! The interior, gondolas and fountains will make you feel like 1001 nights and we didn't want to leave. I hope you like the pictures as much as I do.

st regis dubai

LOCATION: DUBAI

When we traveled to Dubai we had the chance to stay at the St Regis which is located near Burj Khalifa. They are building a whole area with gardens, hotels and apartments which will be finished in three years. We were welcomed by flowers, pralines and a picture of me (how did they print it that fast?) and were taken back to the 18th century by the interior and ceilings. The first thing my friend did was taking a bath in the amazing bathtub you might already seen on instagram - it’s so beautiful - if I’ll ever build a house I need that bathroom! We also enjoyed dinner at the Steak House and had gambas, sushi, noodles, a wagyu burger and a salty caramel dream which I highly recommend. The next days we explored the hotel: We saw the brasserie quartier, the patio, relaxed at the pool and the spa area and had a private tour to one of the 300sqm suites. Unfortunately the spa area was brand new but still under construction so we decided to rest at the pool. The breakfast was by far one of the best I’ve ever had in my life, they have fresh pineapple juice and chia pudding! How about that? Thank you for making our stay perfect!

1.2.3 paris

LOCATION: BASTAKIYA, DUBAI

I’ve been obsessed with paisley dresses and patterns ever since and it’s my favorite choice to wear in summer. I had the chance to work with 1.2.3 Paris and choose an outfit of their newest summer collection which is now online - also in Germany - and in stores. We shot this outfit in the old town of Dubai and I’m wearing the Ondine printed cashmere dress (here), the Leonor poncho (here) and the Nathan leather belt (here) from 1.2.3. And guess what! You have now the chance to WIN a 1.2.3 Paris voucher of 100 Euro, just leave a comment here and follow their instagram account (here)! Until I pick a winner in one week, you can get 10 Euro off with the code DEUTSCHLAND (above 120 Euro). Have fun!

desert safari: sex and the city moment

LOCATION: SAHARA, DUBAI

One of my highlights in Dubai was our desert safari with beyondthedunes.com, our guide Ahid made our trip picture perfect with patterned blankets, tents, campfires, BBQ, Kiwi juice and sandboarding. It was so amazing, I still can’t believe it! He also showed us most of the highest red dunes in the desert where we took some beautiful pictures which I’m gonna show you in another post. Love from Dubai!
