I think I have a new girl crush, she is awesome!
And happy Monday to you..did you have a good weekend? I did some shopping in Zurich, some relaxing at home and some patio'ing in the sun with spritzers. But the highlight was that one of my fave friends in der Schweiz threw a tea party for her birthday complete with appetizers, an array of cupcakes that she made, a red velvet birthday cake - and some fellow bloggers were there! Needless to say I was sick on the way home but I should have eaten more. (happy birthday again, my dear!)

Baby Genius and Luzern!

Currently most definitely enjoying this song by Baby Genius who's hometown is Luzern! This video features some awesome shots of Luzern and captures its beauty and laid-backness (even though it's in Switzerland ;)) Come tour it!

Mumford & Sons/Montreux Jazz Fest

Seeing Mumford & Sons last night was just as amazing as it was 2 months ago. They are, hands down, the only band right now that I would brave crowds of smelly drunk people for (and that we did)! I've decided that I would love to see them somewhere in the US now - I feel like crowds here in Switzerland aren't as wild and obnoxious as they would be at home - maybe it's that Swiss reserve I keep hearing about - or maybe us Americans really are just as loud and crazy as people here say we are =)

And...Montreux is gorgeous!! It was the 2nd time I've been there and I just keep loving it - from the city stacked on the hill side, a couple of castle looking buildings in view, the unpretentious downtown area to the cute clothing/food booths set up along the river walk - there is so much to see and so many cafe's to try! My favorite is the churro stand - last time, don't judge me, but I ate 5 churros to myself! This time I contained myself and just had a crepe for dessert.

So, I wasn't so hot in the picture taking department...because...as Nikki would say, "I had more than 2 drinks". But I tried...just had to wade through eleventythousand pictures of random things. Enjoy!

My hot date.

Let me introduce my favorite thing about Switzerland - the lakes and how everyone is always swimming in them. If there is a lakeside - you can jump in - no silly rules and fences and danger signs! You will find people, businessmen, jumping in during their lunch breaks.

Crepes...le sigh...

Look who I ran in to, my DREAM bike!!!!

A moment of silence please, for how amazing Cevapcici is...

Bar seating areas set up along the lake

Some what I wore action
{H&M sequin vest, Zara basic white tee, H&M boy shorts, Gap flats}

Sorry for the picture overload!
Have a good day...or else!
P.S. And you guys, here's my Twitter {@okVillage}

Changes, Changes

Blogs evolve, right? Blogs change names sometimes, right? (*insert cricket noises*). This one is changing names! And I have a cooler header in my head (ha) but I have to make it first so this one is temporary =) It will still be the Lovelist at heart (since it will still be things I love) but despite my research before starting the blog there is another one out there...a little different but close enough. So A Village or Village or The Village (I'm still undecided, feel free to vote) is this blogs new name. I like much better as it is inspired by the fact that I live in a village (so I was told) which greatly excited me because who doesn't want to live in a village?! It sounds much more adventurous than town! And if I move to Luzern someday I can't very well call it 'The City' because...well, you know.
So anyway, I'm sorry if you have to change it anywhere =(

Here is a relaxing song for your Sunday - it is windy and pouring down rain here tonight and I am loving it =)

Halo

 This song is from friends of friends back from my hometown. Wish i were really their friends because then I could just make them play for me all the time!

Mumford & Sons

The best thing to happen last week was that I finally got to see Mumford & Sons in concert!
They were a-mazing.
So good that I just got more tickets to see them in July at the Montreux Jazz Festival!

Green!

 Green is my favorite color of all time - I would never take this ring off!

It's a sunny sunny day and I heard this in a store - and fell in love! Putting it on my iPod now and going running!

Hope for Haiti - Rihanna, Jay-Z, Bono
