I am back since Monday and it took me three full days to settle down again, focusing on my work and the routine. It is sad, that we all have to go back to routine after such a great weekend! The weather was 100% on our side (even a bit too hot, but oh well, I won't complain). The Melt! is also turning more and more into a catwalk and I sometimes felt a bit under-dressed next to all those mannequin-like people there. The music was great, it was a bit quiter than last year (where we had to ran from one concert to the other). My favourites were Jónsi and Chris Cunningham. Both so differently, they were the ones who still stuck in my head. Jónsi of course because of his beautiful music and the delightful visuals and Chris Cunningham because he made me stop breathing for one full hour (not only me but also all the other thousands of people who just stood there and stared). Let's wait and wish for the next year!

In a few hours we're heading to Melt festival. It's our second time and I am really curious to see how it will be this time. I remember all the rain and back-pain and mud from last year, but also I have been able to see bands like Animal Collective, Oasis, Fever Ray and so on. This year will be great as well, I am really looking forward to see Jonsí, Kele, the XX, Massive Attack, Goldfrapp or Chris Cunningham. Plus the million bands that I don't know yet, but soon will. The weather is supposed to be on our side this year. Since I am a bit obsessed about the weather I checked a dozen of weather-pages and there is just one forecasting rain! All the others say sunshine, above 30 degrees and an occasional thunderstorm during the night. This should be great! I still have to pack and I hope that I am in better shape this year and won't have any trouble with my back. So see you on Monday!

The Dress and the Story pt. 11

This and the next week it's supposed to get really really warm and I am already excited about getting out of the house. For example, going swimming in the near-by lake like we did on tuesday morning or having a barbecue like tonight. On top, this weekend is the Westpaket in Plagwitz/Lindenau which is a huuuge fleamarket (but fortunately not with too many junky things) and I am really excited about maybe getting some real treasures! 

About this dress: I am always a bit hesitating when it comes to clothes to buy at H M.. yes, I do feel very awkward if I see someone that wears the same things like I do. But when I saw this dress I really did not think about it and just bought it (for 10 euros, I think there's nothing wrong with it). It has this bright summer colour that I really love and until now I haven't seen anyone with this dress yet.. let's see how long it will last! Besides this, it is really thin, so a perfect option for really hot days!
