Vienna Photodiary

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

Vienna was one of the cities on top of our must-visit list! Therefore, it was more than great to be able to spend a long weekend in this beautiful city. If I should describe Vienna in three words, those would be classic, sophisticated and unhurried. This city definitely knows exactly where it stands thus exudes a confidence known from cosmopolitan cities at its best. Nevertheless, Vienna managed to keep its ancient charm and makes you feel a whiff of of the former imperial empire. I was fascinated most by the sheer density of monumental buildings and the spacious architecture. At the same time there is nothing better than sitting in one of the numerous petite cafés and have the bespoke “Apfelstrudel” with vanilla ice cream and a tasty Hausbrandt coffee.

Coffee in Berlin: Le Johann Rose

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

A sunny day in town and a short trip to Kreuzberg, thats how Sundays always should look like. A dance performance of a friend brought me into that direction. On my way to the venue I came across this little café called La Johann Rose and decided to have a quick coffee stop there. The inside is charmingly decorated, kitsch and vintage pieces are the main things you will find along with some patterned wallpapers and fresh flowers on the table. A Latté Macchiato costs € 2,80 (To Go € 2,00) and is served in a full glas with delicious foam. Along with that I enjoyed a banana nut bread slice, which was so fluffy and costs € 2,00. If you are looking for other sweat treats you can choose between some other freshly made cakes, brownies (one € 2,00), ice-cream and vegan spelt waffles (starting at € 3,60). If you are looking for lunch, you will also be able to find something here. They serve soups and other little dishes. Afterwards just stroll through the …

New York Photo Diary

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

Ever since I watched Maid in Manhattan (girls movie), “Come Away with Me” by Norah Jones has become my personal song for New York. Sounds crazy, since I have never been there before. Of course I always dreamed of going there… someday and well planed ahead. But when my dance teacher invited my to join her on a visit to the Big Apple I was head over heels right away. Yes, the city is a little crazy but it is definitely worth a visit. Though I have to say I wouldn’t want to live there on a regular basis. It’s fun to come there, see all those amazing places and get a bit carried away by the SATC feeling. In the seven days I have seen so many different places and somehow discovered myself a bit more. Traveling so far is always a challenge since I love home. During my childhood my family and I moved quite a lot, which is why Potsdam and Berlin have become a home to me finally. But back to New York, …

Lunch in Potsdam: Burgerbüro

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

This places isn’t really new here in Potsdam but as it is with all those local places, you never go there. But since we want to provide you with some great to-go-to food destinations we tried this restaurant/imbiss for you. Burgerbüro is located in Potsdam-Babelsberg, not in the main center of the city actually. You come in and pull a number which is your pick-up code in the end. Mainly you come here for the burgers, of course. The Country Burger was super delicious and costs € 4,60 (if you add extra cheese it’s € 0,60 more). If you want some fries do share them if you go together with someone, the portion is enough for two since the burger is really big and filling. After this you honestly don’t need a dessert and try to come with a rather empty stomach. Price $$$$$ // Service ☆☆☆☆☆ // Location ☆☆☆☆☆ // Taste ☆☆☆☆☆ Burgerbüro Rudolf-Breitscheid-Str. 47/48 14482 Potsdam-Babelsberg What To Wear to this location

Cherry Blossom Girl

Before we left for New York and London we finally managed to take these pictures with those lovely cherry blossoms. We probably planed this for three years but didn’t find the time and in the end they were gone so fast. Finally! At the moment we have April weather outside, daily life is nearly back to normal and we are working on the new ballet for our studio.

Camel Coat

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

Our lovely Fiona proved once more: a camel coat is such a statement piece. But finding one is really hard. For me personally Sandro has become an absolut favorite fashion label of mine. Some weeks ago I visited their store in Mitte and they had this really perfect camel coloured coat. I would even have paid the price but they didn’t have my size. And now I’m keeping my eyes open for one again.

Lunch in Berlin: Die Kantine

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

When you start thinking of a canteen, what comes to your mind? Dark big halls, unhealthy food and a lot of noise? Certainly most of us remember the school or university canteen. However nowadays you can see that more people start to think about what they eat, certainly from a positive point of view. When one hears that more than 80% of health problems comes through wrong nutrition it definitely is time to rethink. But back to the subject. Having lunch in Berlin is in our opinion not that hard anymore. Many places have opened over the past years and this one is worth a try. Die Kantine (The Canteen) is a place for lunch in Berlin Mitte. The building was designed by David Chipperfield, a well-known architect, and is an addition to their architectural office in Berlin. The exposed concrete and the huge sliding windows give the whole atmosphere an own expression and fit into the minimal design and architecture practiced by Chipperfield. If you come along for Lunch you maybe should reserve a …

April Weather

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

Spending some quality time together during these stressful packing-suitcases-days and appointments is just so relaxing. Yesterday we both left town to head to two totally different destinations: London and New York! But as you see, we made sure that there are some new posts up on the blog. We took these pictures a few days ago, sadly the sunny weather left us but we still managed to take some outfit pictures. During April the weather is always going a bit crazy and a coat is still needed sometimes, so don’t put it too far away. A good idea is to head out to some stores in town and search through the Sale piece, some times you are lucky to find a left-over from last season. Coat – Mango Scarf – Massimo Dutti Bag – Uterque

Coffee in Berlin: Kaffeemitte

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

A coffee break is just one of those things we really need on a long day or in-between a shopping trip. Energy comes back to the body and you can recover. There are many beautiful cafés in Berlin and you somehow get the feeling that Berlin is a coffee-city. If you are hanging around Hackescher Markt this café place is just the right one. Kaffeemitte is always filled with people and you can feel that this really is a typical Berlin Szene café. But nevertheless it’s worth a visit. They serve some delicious cakes (€ 2 – 4) and if you are rather looking for something hearty you can chose between some Paninis (€ 6 – 7,50) and other daily dishes (Salads and Pasta). Breakfast is also available. A Latté Macchiacto costs € 3,10 and is enough to satisfy your appetite. When the weather is good you can sit outside and watch tourists and Berliners go by.
