friends… i’m packed and ready for the food and photography workshop in amsterdam! that is: if i ever really get there… i won’t lye to you: my suitcase is almost exploding. it will probably cause the plane to crash. but hey, in addition to the 5 pairs of shoes i do have a lot ofContinue reading
this post is so very long overdue… obviously, the pictures were taken in summer (on the 1st of august, to be precise, aka swiss national day) on lake zurich (although that does sound pretty strange in english… it’s simply ‘zürisee’, around here, you see…). it was the first time sailing for me. okay, my stomachContinue reading
kind of craving these now… hi friends. i haven’t got much time tonight. my place looks like it’s exploded (clothes to iron everywhere…) and i need to practice a little for tomorrow’s preso. let alone pack for amsterdam at the end of the week. therefore saying hi and bye! love, s orange tea cakes withContinue reading
home. it’s good to be back home - or so i always thought… tonight, though, i’m feeling a little off. i spent the weekend at my friend’s in the mountains, in beautiful engadine, to be precise. we went paddle boarding early in the morning on the (ice cold, just to boast a little about howContinue reading
the real burrata, the real deal. the one with the green string around it, that creates the little bum at the top (that looks like a top knot, hihi). how often do we get to see / eat that? and heirloom tomatoes, probably the last one of this summer. simple pleasures. i think life isn’tContinue reading

sighs of blissful bathing in memories… tea times. what’s not to love? scones, handpainted porcelain your mother gave to you and then gets a heartattack whenever she accidentally sees it in your home because she misses it so much in her own home, pretty tea selections, rose buds, extra bergamot flavored kandis sugar (yes! it’sContinue reading
big bash yesterday? oh, pretty much, yes. if a dinner party can be called ‘bash’ (but i guess in my age it does, it’s the decade of the dinner parties, chuckle). 14 amazing guests, one menu, 6 courses, all about the ‘mighty citrus’ - or so it was thought out. though actually, since it isn’tContinue reading
obviously, it’s not always easy to be a lady nowadays. you see, guys, we’re often confused over ‘womanhood’. there are so many different roles we can and want and/or are expected to take on and fulfill (successfully), that it’s sometimes overwhelming. we have to be the best friend, the colleague, the mate, the partner inContinue reading
there are simple things in life that enhance it and give it a proper silver lining. among the things that make me happy are - and you might have guessed it all along - flowers. okay, it’s decadent, but i like my house full of flowers alright. and i don’t need them matchy-matchy, i justContinue reading
