just looking at these pictures now, i am drooling over my keyboard… nice. and oh so ladylike. anyhow, so i spent a really nice evening yesterday with a friend (and i actually did succeed in being ladylike, for a few hours, cough). it never fails to amaze me how beautiful (from the outside as muchContinue reading
cheesecake is something i find it hard to pass down… what sounds so american (at least to my mostly american readers, hello!) is in fact something typical german, also. the baked version of the american cheese cake is in fact, in germany, often made with curd (quark). i’ve eaten this cake on numerous family events,Continue reading
true fact: i can never resist an oddly colored, oddly shaped or oddly named (or all of the three combined, in one) vegetable. it’s so tempting, to come up with an idea of what to turn them into. it’s what my daydreams are made of (okay, that, and the nightstands i posted yesterday…). so, potatoes,Continue reading
things i am currently mentally planning to adopt for my home, or the bedroom, to be specific, include a mirrored nightstand (on both sides of the bed, naturally, as i’m a fan of symmetry in the home), two (likewise) silver cowhides and two (dito) stacked silver crystal ball lamps. this might appear a bit nudeContinue reading
of all kitchen disciplines, the one i fancy and dream about the most must be the patisserie. though i clearly like all of them, especially everything involving veggies, the ability to prepare stunning, cute, sweet, surprising little treats awes me the most. sadly, i lack a few all of the skills requested from a goodContinue reading
a lot of you probably don’t like to hear it (given that i know a lot of people who consider themselves summer lovers), but let’s face it: autumn is just around the corner, anyhow… so here are two pieces (or actually three) that i’m currently dreaming of for my autumn / winter wardrobe: a skinnyContinue reading
as i told you, i’m going to stand on the chef’s feet help to cook at the modern pantry in london, for two weeks in september! am i looking forward? yes! but i’m also a teeny, tiny bit afraid… like, i dream of knives and cutting off my extremities with the very sharp, professional knives,Continue reading
i’ve come to a realisation that worries me: summer is pretty much almost already over… though we are currently lucky to have beautiful sunshiney weather, the light is already close to autumn’s soft, silver rays. the leaves have started to brown. the chestnuts are up on the trees, in their light green, spikey cocoons, justContinue reading
my favorite color of all times has got to be emerald green. in general, i’m rather the neutrals kind of girl. meaning i’m very fond of whites, greys, beiges and any sort of sandy shades. but when it comes to an actual dab of color, for anything - be it a dress, a bag orContinue reading
after two sick days without going out of the house once (not nice…) i managed to go out yesterday with my mom. it was a good thing to see other people again, laugh. she treated me to an asian meal (nice), which was very welcome, given that i didn’t eat let alone cook any properContinue reading
