MC Talk with Stephanie Lee Goldhahn

Stephanie Lee Goldhahn is a professional ballet dancer, currently living in Belgrade Serbia and working in the National Theatre. Originally from Australia her love of dance, which turned into a profession swept her up into traveling the world. She was the first Australian ballet dancer to be given a contract and employed as a soloist artist with the Imperial Russian Ballet and during this time was commended and written about by ballet critics of her debut performance of Cupid in Don Quixote. She’s currently engaged to Russian ballet dancer Daniil Kolmin and in the process of planning her wedding. Her love of writing has recently spurred her onto creating her own dance mixed with fashion blog, and her and Daniil’s wedding blog. When you were a child, what did you dream of being? When I was a child I really wanted to become an Olympic swimmer. I was really small, but very fast. My nickname was “Goldfish” (because my last name is Goldhahn) at competitions, I even believed one day I’d bring home a gold …

Sans Soucci Sundays

Sundays are for… relaxing, snapping pictures and blog work! Especially, sunny Sundays. This time we went to the Sanssoucci Park, which is always a nice setting for a small photo shoot. favorite and most worn leather jacket – Zara Boot Cut Jeans – Zara Shirt – H&M Belt – Mango  Sunglasses – Ray Ban

Lunch in Potsdam: Fahland Bistro

Last month the bakery chain Fahland (to be found in Potsdam and the surrounding area) opened a bistro in the heart of Potsdam. This is a new addition to their former concept. Along with their baked goods they offer sandwiches, soups, quiches, hearty salads, cakes and little tartlets. The interior is nicely chosen: warm and welcoming (created by Martina Haag). But I was really disappointed by the service. The seller behind the counter seemed stressed and annoyed by someone ordering something. And this actually has a whole impact on your visit. The coffee wasn’t hot enough from the beginning which is why it cooled out too quickly. In total it was nice to try and the food was good but I guess I will not come back because of the unfriendly service and the cold coffee.

Spring is in the air

Last weekend my dancer colleague Davina and I took the chance to snap some spring inspired pictures under these beautiful blooming trees. They just make the perfect backdrop for such pictures and when they bloom you have to be real quick because as quickly as they grow the blossoms will be gone again just after a stormy day.

MC Talk with Alex Lester

I met Alex during a Brand Management course at London College of Fashion some years ago. He is a creative and most definitely a life lover. On his website The Peacock Paper you find  a carefully curated selection of his beautiful photography in travel diaries. He also works as a creative director and stylist. When you were a child, what did you dream of being? I had a few careers that I was pretty into as a child – at one stage I really wanted to be a tv presenter, another time, whilst listening to Nikki Webster (an Asustralian pop star at the time, and now a complete guilty pleasure), I declared I wanted to be a singer! What do you always take with you when you travel? I don’t want to say my iPhone, but i realised that it can get you out of almost any situation! You can take photos (essential), book accommodation, access cash, pay for things, call people, direct you places! Otherwise, I always need to travel with my camera – and couldn’t quite imagine doing so without …

Nude Colors

On a not so sunny spring weekend, we are invited to a super cute baby shower by a common friend of ours. It’s always a pleasure to be there for such occasions and to feel the love of a mommy to be! For this event I chose a nude colored outfit, simple and not too fancy. Trenchcoat – Club Monaco Top – Zara Nude Pants – Zara High heeled boots – Zara Bag – Uterque 

Eau De Lacoste Pour Elle

These three fragrances really made our hearts skip a beat. Inspired by the famous Lacoste pleated skirt this trio is giving us the full spring/summer swing. All three are fresh, fun and iconic in their scent. And those pastel shades make the perfect decor in our bathrooms. Still looking for a Mothers Day gift? Think you found one.. But make sure to take some time. It’s so hard to choose which one is better. Let us quickly introduce them to you: Elegant (white) Effortless, confident, classic. Citrus oil, cassis buds, pink pepper, mimosa, vetiver. Natural (green) Inspiring, authentic, warm. Coconut, raspberry leaves, mandarin, pineapple, Florentine iris. Sparkling (pink) Sweet and playful. Macaron, fruits, spices, patchouli. In cooperation with HeadspacePR and Lacoste

Bouquet of Dots

In the next couple of weeks I will be attending a handful of events where it is necessary to dress chic, which is why I figured it would be nice to invest into a new dress. When it comes down to such events it’s nice to have something in your closet you can always rely on e.g. this dotted H&M dress from the current collection (available in stores now). Since most of the events involve church visits I have chosen a knee-long dress with a flattery skirt and a narrow waist line. And after all the occasions the dress will still be a nice summer piece.
