last night i hosted an informal, casual pizza dinner for three friends plus boyfriend. i wish i could do nothing but cook dinners for friends all day, everyday. admittedly, i had a little help with the dough - from my dad. and i overestimated the amount of pizza (as in: i can’t bring myself toContinue reading
i have always been keen on styles that are casual and comfy but nevertheless chic. i prefer an understated, relaxed and unagitated overall look. it’s all a question of the right mix, really. thus, my wardrobe consists of both, simple basics and some glam items to make sure i can spice up an everyday outfitContinue reading
every girl loves to dream - in particular about the ring she is one day going to wear on her finger. when she finally vows ‘forever’ to the guy she loves and this big commitment will be sealed with a ring. it needn’t be an engagement ring, a simple love ring is just as bigContinue reading
as you know, i love to read about food. it’s one thing to read through the many (many…) food blogs i’ve got on my watchlist. but, there’s nothing like flicking through the pages of a brand new, virginal cookbook. i love the smell and feel of it. here’s a new one on my watchlist. heidiContinue reading
there isn’t anything more flattering on a woman than the right accessories (men inclusive, hadiha). i bought this summery clutch in paris in may. since, i haven’t had the right occasion to let it accompany me out. but i’m sure with the summery weather we’re having it will soon be in use, like for aContinue reading

so need this pretty jelly bow ballerinas! you might have read my post on jelly flats some time ago. well, i’m still crazy about them. and now that this newish, darling pair by vivienne westwood is out, i came to think they would be the perfect match with this dress. or any summery, glam, weddingContinue reading
i discovered some old food shots i haven’t posted yet. and this salad just looked to good not to post it - even though it’s totally not the season for an autumn inspired starter. never mind. basically, this salad recipe is nothing exciting. plain red radicchio and some pears. autumnal elementries. until the cheese comesContinue reading
it’s not a secret that i’m partly german. well, it is actually, but only if nobody asks me. i mean, i don’t have a german passport. so i think i’m not really german, at least technically speaking. truth is: my father is (formerly) german. from the south, to be precise. this much can be revealedContinue reading
