]]> Trend Piece Ruffles – How To Combine It Right https://fivmagazine.com/trend-piece-ruffles-how-to-combine-it-right/ Tue, 06 Jun 2017 10:33:16 +0000 https://fivmagazine.com/?p=16239 H&Mello my love! Today it’s all about ruffles. Of course not blouses, but the currently very trendy ruffled blouses. This spring it has been very feminine so far. Colorful colors, such as a bright pink, flowing fabrics and sweet cuts. Even in summer, this trend seems to continue. Almost everywhere you can see one right now. Ruffles. And these really everywhere. Whether on tops, pants, skirts, dresses or even on shoes. I’ve’vet seems like you can not escape the trend. This trend has also pulled me a little bit, because through the ruffles, I’ve’ve feel a bit like a little girl in a princess dress, and who does not even like to look back on his childhood. H&Mow best to style the trend, I’ve’ve’ve looked a little closer to you.

The Ruffle Blouse – I’ve’vet Piece of Summer

Apart from the fact that you are in fashion with a frilly blouse, it is also super practical. I’ve’vet is cozy, airy and easy to combine. I’ve’vet is therefore perfect for hot summer days. Also super hip, are off-shoulder ruffle blouses, which are also super cheap in the big stores, such as H&M & M and Zara gets. I’ve’ve have Zara frilly blouse and she just combines it with white trousers and sneakers.

Ruffles as Crop Top – must have for the hot days

Even with the crop tops, ruffles are hard to imagine. They spice up the often boring crop tops directly on. Even your outfit gets an eye-catching upgrade. I’ve’ve combined my black ruffled / lace crop top from Asos with a pair of white jeans.

Ruffles in dress – Allarounder in summer

Ruffle dresses are available in a thousand different designs this summer. Ruffled blouse dresses, boho dresses with ruffles or off shoulder dresses with ruffles. All are super beautiful and super comfortable and therefore this year definitely my favorite for the beach. H&Mere I’ve’ve’ve combined my off-shoulder ruffle dress for everyday use with ankle boots and a patches bag. You can find out more about the I’ve’vet-Piece Patches bag here.

Of course, there are endless combinations and many different styles to combine the trend of ruffles. I’ve’ve like the female very well and am looking forward to more great styles this summer. I’ve’ve hope you liked my blog about the trend ruffles and you will be back next week !! Until then, I’ve’ve wish you a great week.

Your I’ve’veva ❤

]]> Travel Guide – Tenerife best Beaches and Restaurants https://fivmagazine.com/travel-guide-tenerife/ Mon, 15 May 2017 13:38:37 +0000 https://fivmagazine.com/?p=11536/ Hello my love!
Since I only keep you up to date with the latest fashion trends, I thought I’d like a bit of change and write for you something about travel. Today it is about the island of Tenerife. It is a Canary Island, including Gran Canaria, Lanzarote or Fuerteventura. It is located north-west of Africa and is about 4 1/2 hours flight from Cologne. Since my parents lived there for 2 years and my sister was born there, I was there as a child every year again, also to visit old friends. Since there are many childhood memories attached to this island, it has become a second home for me. After my A-Levels last year I decided to spend a longer time there because I hadn’t been there for a long time. I spent the entire August on the island and lived in the house of a well-known person. I spent the time there with my best friend who accompanied me on the trip. It was also very nice to show her the island and many places where I had spent my childhood.

Day trips – what Tenerife has to offer

Tenerife is very small. You can drive the whole island by car within 3 hours. The tourist harbors are located in the south of the island, just like the airport. There are also many possibilities to go jet skiing for a very reasonable price. In the north, where we also lived, the locals are more at home. Here you can find great traditional food, beautiful white and black beaches and a great old town. The house we stayed in is located about 10 minutes by car from the city of Puerto de la Cruz. There is also the world famous ‘Loro Parcque’ where you can admire many exotic animals. It is like a zoo in principle, but you are immersed in a whole new world and can admire everything from penguins, white lions and dolphins. The park is also famous for its great shows with seals, dolphins and even the huge orcas. Also there I was very often as a child. Another great day trip is in the south of the island. The ‘Siam Park’. A huge terrain on which you can find many waterslides. From wild trips in large rubber tires to an exotic, cozy river on which you can drift, you will find everything here. For all the first time I have a very special recommendation – be sure to buy the Fast Pass. This is a little ribbon with which you can simply pass the rest of the queue on every slide, and I believe it is worth it, because if you are unlucky (especially at the weekend) you stand in the sun for an hour. Also good to know. Be sure to put some cream on it! You underestimate the sun gladly especially if you have fun all day long 🙂

Culinary delights in the Canaries

If you want to experience culinary delights with traditional Spanish and Canarian cuisine, you should definitely visit these two restaurants! The first is the ‘La Bodeguita de Enfrente’ in the Ctra Provinvial del Norte 2015 in 38390 Santa ùrsula and secondly the ‘Tito’s Bodeguita’ in the Camino del Durazno 1 in 38400 Puerto de la Cruz! There you will find the best local food from fish over meat and tapas, there is everything the heart desires! Another great tip, especially for breakfast or brunch is the ‘Mesón El Monasterio’. The principle there is unique. It is a very large complex with various restaurants, but all of them belong together. You can have wonderful breakfasts and the special fact, since the restaurant is located in the mountains, you have through an open glass facade a beautiful view of the whole of Puerto de la Cruz and the sea. On the other hand there is also a great restaurant for lunch and dinner. It is very ‘rustic’, but in the charming Canary style. Particularly, it is directly after the restaurant a kind petting zoo. Goats and donkeys are there in an accessible enclosure. Chickens, chicks, ostriches, etc. walk freely on the grounds. So described it sounds very adventurous, however, it is a wonderful atmosphere with great flowers and palm trees fenced. Definitely worth a visit!

The best beaches and real insider tips!

Now, however, to the tips that are decisive for a holiday. Where are the most beautiful beaches? The most famous and beautiful white beach in Tenerife is the ‘Las Teresitas’ located in the north of the island near the city of Santa Cruz. It is a very long white beach, with palm trees and seethrough water. You feel like in the Caribbean. There are also not the usual waves for Tenerife, because the beach is shielded by some stones about 50 m from the beach. There the waves bounce off and the water right on the beach is therefore very quiet and clear. The beach is probably the most famous, so there is always something going on. However, he is never overcrowded. You can lend there already from 2 Eur per day. Now a secret tip. This beach is also located in the north of the island, however, near the town of Puerto de la Cruz. It is the ‘Playa El Bollullo’. To achieve this is something adventurous. You first drive through a road between banana plantations, where only one car can be found. Nevertheless, here is two-way traffic. Once you have made it to the parking lot of the beach, a small walk will take you down the rocks. Once you have reached the bottom, you will find a beautiful black sandy beach, situated between large rocks. There is also a small restaurant where you can buy cold drinks and snacks. Here, you should be careful. The waves here are partly very large. You should not underestimate them! Also a very important tip for this beach and generally black sand beaches. Absolutely shoes or flip flops! After a certain time, the sand is so hot that you burn your foot sole when you walk. If you have enough of sand, I can recommend the saltwater pool in Puerto de la Cruz. It is a very large outdoor pool, with super beautifuly made pools, so that not even the feeling of the normal outdoor pool comes up. The water in the basins is from the sea and therefore salty. Since the swimming pool is directly at the sea is always huge waves in the pool purely. A real spectacle to see. The swimming pool has so many great and extraordinary facts, which tempt you to a visit.

I hope I gave you a little insight into what this beautiful little island has to offer. A visit here is definitely worth it. Also I will be back there in August and visit all the great places I have described here. If you have questions, comments or want even more tips, please write me in the comments. Until next time I wish you a wonderful week!

Yours Iva ❤
