Trench Mood

When you need to go to work and the weather isn’t that appealing outside, choose a trench coat. It’s such an iconic and classic piece you can through over every outfit combination. An earthy shade is normally the choice with a trench but if you are daring enough, why not buy one in a bright colour or a pastel shade. Trench coat – Zara  Treggings – H&M Boots – Tommy Hilfiger

With The Blues

It seems as if the weeks are just passing by so quickly. Since we have so much to do and work on everyday gets shorter and shorter. Time is such a valuable thing! We simply rush through the days and our timetable. We seriously need to relax this weekend a bit. Have you got your weekend planed already? This outfit combination is a rather simple but chic one (another Office look actually). When the temperatures rise it’s nice to swap your booties to some pretty sandals.

Kimono

The Kimono is a Japanese traditional garment. Today in Japan, it is worn for special occasions such as weddings, tea ceremonies, formal traditional events and funerals. An appropriate style and color of kimono is to be worn depending on the occasion and the person’s age and marital status. I personally have always been fascinated by Geishas. I read the book “Memoirs of a Geisha” by Arthur Golden and watched the movie, too. It is such a different world and culture that we in Europe simply can’t understand their way of living. Some years ago i brought this dressing gown at H&M but didn’t thought about wearing it outdoors. But somehow my mind changed and I’m trying challange this piece a bit more. The pop of colour gave my rather simple outfit a new touch and mixing different fabrics is also a good idea for spring/summer outfit combinations. And remember, festival season is here!

Dinner in Berlin: Cơm Á

This restaurant brought me to the district Kreuzberg in Berlin. It’s located on the Oranienstraße and pretty easy to reach by bus or subway (unless it’s 1st of May). You can choose between Vietnamese dishes from the grill, Japanese sushis and Cambodian salads. I went for a grilled chicken dish served with fresh salad (loved the avocado in it) and rice, costing € 8,50. My boyfriend decided to eat grilled beef rump with salad and rice as well (€ 9,90). The sushis you see in the pictures were eight Ebi Chumakis (shrimps, cucumber, rocket salad and cream cheese) for € 4,40. As drinks we had Chanh Da, which I would always go for when having asian dinner or lunch.

Office Combination

At this point in time we both have our hands full with work thus here is one of my simple work outfits for you! I prefer to stick to simple colors but like to place emphasis on small details like a fresh rose pink lipstick – never too much but always a small highlight. In office you don’t want to look cheap, so leave the shirts with big cleavage at home. Bag – Zara Shoes – Zara Lipstick – Lancôme Shirt – &other stories

Summer Essentials

Here are some summer essentials we cannot live without at the moment. I love my super comfy Birkenstock sandals- my feet can relax and also style does not have to suffer, with their silver design the sandals are fashionable and laid-back at the same time. Apart from that I have a weak side for fresh summer perfumes thus I had to have the new See by Chloé fragrance, which will accompany me throughout the summer. Of course, a flower printed bikini also could not be missing in this equation! I love this one from H&M.

Vienna Photodiary

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

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

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

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.
