My ten favorite places in Paris

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

After living in Paris for half a year, I was lucky enough to experience many places and see everything that I had planned in advance. Therefore, I figured it might be interesting to share my best tips with you guys – maybe for your next city trip to Paris! 1. Buvette has the best breakfast in town! 2. Le Palais Royale is a very beautiful place to stroll, have a nice coffee or just sit and read a book. 3. Take a walk along the Seine when the sun goes down. 4. Le Coq Rico has a really nice ambiance and lovely chicken dishes. Try the Cross Hermitage red wine with it – it’s divine! 5. Père Lachaise is a real experience. I believe it is the loveliest in autumn, when the leaves are colored in yellow, orange and red. This place is so peaceful yet so interesting. 6. St.Germain des Près is a perfect area to do some shopping, visit the Jardin du Luxembourg and sip some coffee in the sun. 7. Les Puces (Porte …

A lovely Amsterdam Girls Weekend came to an end this morning but we got so many pictures and impressions to share with you – blogpost overflow for sure! These pictures we took a few weeks ago when Jana was on a visit in Berlin and it was so much fun hanging around the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin. Their shop, filled with so many good coffee books, is just a sensation. Blouse – Zara Boots – H&M

Your Inner Bond Girl

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

Sévérine played by Bérénice Marlohe 2012 / Skyfall Elektra King played by Sophie Marceau 1999 / The World Is Not Enough Dominique Derval played by Claudine Auger 1965 / Thunderball I don’t know why and I don’t know how this came, but since years I’m a huge James Bond fan. I love the movies and all the fuss about it (yes, speaking of the new James Bond movie hitting the cinemas this year). Last week they released a teaser for Spectre and I honestly watched it about five times. Daniel Craig is a great Bond and Christoph Waltz will probably blow our minds away as the bad guy. But besides bad guy good guy and a lot of action there is another very important aspect that marks the history of James Bond: the Bond Girls! A long list of victims, opponents, spies, playmates and heroines. All giving the right amount of sex appeal and coolness to the movies. Who wouldn’t want to be a Bond Girl? And guess what now everyone can challenge their inner Bond Girl with the new 007 FOR WOMEN …

Bikini Berlin

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

Bikini Berlin is a shopping center of another kind, a so-called concept mall. It features young, independent, critically chosen brands who should suit customers who are longing for a different experience from high-street brands. The salesrooms predominantly offer fashion and design items as well as some cafés and bars. The Bikini Berlin boxes are twenty shops that can be rented for the maximum duration of one year, in order to surprise the customer with a new experience every once in a while. Brands who are brave and flexible enough are welcome to test new retail concepts for a comparatively short period. Parker – IQ Berlin Jeans – Noisy May Shoes – H&M Blouse – Zara

Drinks in Berlin: Monkey Berlin

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

The Monkey Bar is another hotspot situated in the west of Berlin. It has a gorgeous view through all it’s wide glass windows and is aptly named “Monkey Bar”, since you are able to observe the monkeys of the Berlin Zoo from up there. The Monkey bar serves delicious drinks (try the Gin Basil Smash or the homemade lemonade) and some bar snacks like sweet potato fries or Caesar salad. However, here’s a fair warning: the Monkey Bar has been recommended in many travel guides thus it tends to be really crowded on weekends and nights in general. So either decide to go early or schedule a bit of waiting time – the view and atmosphere is worth it. Price $$$$$ // Service ☆☆☆☆☆ // Location ☆☆☆☆☆ // Taste ☆☆☆☆☆ Monkey Bar Budapester Straße 40 10787 Berlin open Sundays – Thursdays 12:00 – 01:00 Fridays – Saturdays 12:00 – 02:00 What To Wear to this location

Eugene Onegin

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

We both are hopeless lovers of classical Ballet and try to see a performance whenever we get the opportunity. Recently, we saw the interpretation of “Onegin” by the Berliner Staatsballett (choreography by John Cranko) and we both agreed that it was one of the best performances we ever saw in Berlin. The characters were very well danced and also played with an expressiveness that has been unmatched so far. As far as we know there is still another performance taking place in April, so if you are interested in dancing, we can only warmly recommend not to miss it.

Sometimes, a comfy boyfriend jeans and a nice pastel trench coat (this one is from Mint&Berry) is all you need for a perfect spring time outfit. And besides that: this trench coat is perfect for an Easter stroll on a nice sunny day. Trenchcoat – Mint&Berry Jeans – Zara Sunglasses – D&G Jewelry – Sense Copenhagen Shirt – Massimo Dutti

A day at the museum

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

A sunny day in Berlin’s museum district but still with a little chill due to low temperatures. We are longing for summer now! If you visit Berlin make sure to head to the Gemäldegalerie. Its one of those calm places where you can enjoy a lovely morning. Best time to visit? Tuesday morning around 10am – much more relaxed than other big museums in Europe.

Coffee in Berlin: Café Neundrei

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

A couple of days ago I attended the opening of the Café Neundrei a place where you will find delicious coffee and vegan treats. Since more people are becoming aware of their daily nutrition we love to share this location with you. For your coffee you can choose between normal milk, soya milk, lactose-free milk and almond milk (coasting 50cents extra). Also, next to the normal coffee treats, you will be able to find Matcha Latte (€ 3.80), Chai Latte (€ 3.20) and some Superfood Smoothies (€ 4.50). Along with a delicious coffee you should definitely enjoy a vegan bread with fresh filling such as avocado, spinach leaves and cress (starting at € 3.90). Also their vegan apple cake or their banana bread is worth a try – a freshly baked by themselves. Price $$$$$ // Service ☆☆☆☆☆ // Location ☆☆☆☆☆ // Taste ☆☆☆☆☆ Café Neundrei Monbijouplatz 2 10178 Berlin open 8am to 6pm What To Wear to this location

Home sweet home. There is no place like Berlin and no better thing than being home for a few days to spend quality time with my favorite blog partner. Some days ago, we finally managed to visit the Mario Testing “In Your Face” exhibition in Berlin. Mario Testino is definitely the pop star of fashion photography and his shots always capture extraordinary moments in the sparkling world of celebrities.
