Outdoor in Berlin: Karneval der Kulturen

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

Two years ago we also made a post about this annual happening street festival. But it’s just too much fun not to share it once more with you. Along with some pictures from our day around the carnival we also share with you an #ootd you could easily copy and wear to the occasion. Essential for getting through such a day is wearing the right pair of shoes. And as you can see our girls made their choice – Nikes sneakers all the way. Then another key piece we agreed on was to wear a leather jacket but no matter in which color or leather. What should be in your bag? Besides the typical things like money, mobile and identity card you should pack a little deodorant, some plasters, a package of hankies and some chewing gum. Add this to your shopping list

Messy Hair, I don’t care

Everyone is getting ready for festival season. There would be no better outfit than our favorite worn-out ripped jeans (that we have owned for years and years but is still our favorite), a flowery and bright kimono, an airy top and some indie jewelry. Our recommendation? Check out the New Look online store for fancy festival styles and more.

Lunch in Erfurt: Mundlandung

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

Thanks to a one day trip to Erfurt I had the chance to try this cozy place. Mundlandung is a delicatessen store and bistro destination at the same time. The food is fresh and absolutely delicious. The two dishes you see in the pictures are part of their daily menu. In the morning they also serve breakfast, if you should be looking for something like that. The dishes aren’t that cheap but the quality is price matching. Price $$$$$ // Service ☆☆☆☆☆ // Location ☆☆☆☆☆ // Taste ☆☆☆☆☆ Mundlandung Krämerbrücke 28 99084 Erfurt What To Wear to this location

Amsterdam Photo Diary

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

After a super fun girls weekend together in Amsterdam there are still so many pictures to share with you. Today we therefore give you another inside look into what we did together. All in all the weather was great which isn’t granted at all. So we took the time to sit in the sun, enjoy some sparkling ice tea and stroll through all those beautiful canals. Also a slice of the best Amsterdam apple cake had to be on our to-do list (find out about this place here).

Lunch in Berlin: Shiso Burger

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

Already pretty famous in Berlin this is the place for some good (Shiso) Burgers. If you come here you can indulge in some delicious food. During lunch they offer a great deal: you pay the price of the burger plus 3.10 € extra and you will get the burger, fries and a drink. I went for the Cheeseburger, costing 4.60 € – which means in total I paid 7.70 € and was absolutely satisfied after this meal. Only problem if you come here make sure you have enough time. During their busy hours (between 1 and 2pm) it can take up to 45 minutes until the burger is ready. Price $$$$$ // Service ☆☆☆☆☆ // Location ☆☆☆☆☆ // Taste ☆☆☆☆☆ Shiso Burger Auguststraße 29c 10119 Berlin What To Wear to this location

Drinks in Amsterdam: Mata Hari Bar

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

Mata Hari is a real insider’s tip in Amsterdam. The bar is hidden within the red light district and you wouldn’t expect such a cozy and comfortable atmosphere considering the surroundings. The interior consists of vintage furniture and many different antique details, building a casual hang-out setting. Upstairs is the restaurant, offering dishes with an exotic twist. Downstairs in the bar, a extensive drinks menu is awaiting, featuring classics like Moscow mule, different gin tonics or beers. The place is open daily for lunch, dinner and drinks and offers fair trade products whenever it is possible. Price $$$$$ // Service ☆☆☆☆☆ // Location ☆☆☆☆☆ // Taste ☆☆☆☆☆ Mata Hari Oudezijds Achterburgwal 22 1012 DM Amsterdam What To Wear to this location

#MCWorkout: Introduction

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

This topic has been on our list for a long time and we finally found the courage to pick it up on our blog: it’s time to work out! From time to time we will create some posts which will run under the hashtag #MCWorkout. These will show you our routines, inspire and motivate you. But first things first. We have collected five facts for you which you should always keep in mind. 1. Miracles don’t happen over night Getting in shape is never ever easy and certainly not something that can happen in 24 hours. 2. Every body is different This is also something many people forget about. Some people achieve their goals faster than others. Seems unfaire but it all depends on your own will power. 3. Sport means sweating Yes, get over it. You will sweat and you face will be red. But hey, thats what it always should be like because afterwards you will feel great and full of energy. 4. Treat yourself Everyone eventually needs a break sometimes. This is probably the hardest part for me and sometimes I really …

Book Recommendation: I’ll drink to that

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

I‘m lucky to have a good friend, who knows my taste of books and would give one new read to me for my birthday every year. This time, it was “I’ll drink to that” by Betty Halbreich. I have to admit, at first I did not know what to expect and whether it would be interesting to read a whole book about personal shopping. But after just reading three pages, I was hooked and could not stop until I finished the whole book in two nights. Betty Halbreich has that very particular dry, ironic humor that is especially my kind. I often caught myself laughing out loud while reading, which happens rarely. Betty’s stories are exciting, interesting and always have a twist. I feel that those stories are true and written from her heart, what makes them even more authentic and entertaining. I’ll drink to that is not only a book about personal shopping but more about life, its obstacles and how to find happiness thus learn to be content with what one has achieved. Betty has certainly had many exciting …

Dinner in Amsterdam: Cannibale Royal

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

Before going to the Ballet, we spoiled ourselves with a cozy dinner at Cannibale Royale. The restaurant admittedly has a somehow awkward, ironic name and also the interior design makes you a little uncomfortable. Nevertheless, the atmosphere was familiar, cozy and the food was of high quality – if you love a nice burger or filet steak, this is your place to go!

Noon in De Pijp

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

One of my favorite neighborhoods in Amsterdam is De Pijp. It is one of the hip, cool areas that hosts the Albert Cuyp market every day and has numerous cafés, restaurants and bars to hang out. Especially, the Sarphati Park is a nice place to enjoy the sun and maybe have a pick-nick with delicacies you just shopped at the food market around the corner!
