i know it’s barely spring (although the weather has been treating us very nicely, lately), but i’m already in a summer state of mind. i’d like to go somewhere exotic, maybe tropic, or at least a little bit southern. somewhere with a beach with beautiful bright blue water and white sand. where they serve littleContinue reading
when in milan, you should undoubtedly do (at least) two things: eat well and shop (just stop before you actually drop - or before your credit card starts to burn…). naturally, we did both. and though we actually wanted to put more emphasis on the lucullan part (i.e. sit, eat, drink coffee, watch people) forContinue reading
there is a crack in everything. this is how the light gets in. sings leonard cohen. there is so much beauty in the flaws. these here are a couple of my favorite pastel things: ladurée macaroons (a gift from one of my oldest friends who joined the supper yesterday), the ladurée sucré cookbook (also aContinue reading
it almost became a running gag how the food i cook gets the better pictures than i get of myself. it’s more than a little bit true, though. pathetic selfless, need i say more? there is a time and age where selfies shouldn’t be part of the game anymore. but of course, if you’re moreContinue reading
sometimes all it takes to feel brand new is a classy, new accessory. a hermès carré is something every girl dreams of, right? it instantly adds a bit of instant style to an outfit. the only catch? a hermès foulard isn’t something you just go and get for yourself. no, it’s something entirely devoted toContinue reading
i’m wishing you a soft glide (that’s what we call it in german) into the new year and a very happy 2014! a bit early, yes. but i thought we’d much rather start the new year with food, right? ah, i know you well, dears! so for the last day of this year i wantedContinue reading
now that spring is near - almmost - i got myself a couple of colourful accessories. like these four ballerinas (four! eep!). i simply couldn’t pick just one or two… so they all went home with me. sad fact: i heard there will be snow again by wednesday. i’m actually screaming “noooo!” in my head,Continue reading
two words: je veux. these two basic pieces would be happily welcomed in my closet. a large, chunky knit cardigan (it’s a missoni… they’re simply great when it comes to knit) and an emerald green, small shoulder bag (gucci, drool…). this color has got to be my favorite, forever (documented here, e.g.). but does itContinue 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
i’ve been a tassels-fanatic for a fair bit. i’ve had this beautiful key chain with a tassel on it that i got from my friend to a birthday a few years back. i really liked to pet it and hug it. until it was so old it fell apart. then i got two new ones to replaceContinue reading
