Yesterday, we gladly accepted an invitation to our first French Tea time ever at Concorde Hotel Berlin. We surely knew the old tradition of English Tea but we have never experienced the French version up until now! One thing we can tell for sure- it was more than delicious and involved for example freshly made apricot macarons, madeleines and the finest jasmine tea ever! Thank you so much for having us, we are already excited for the next event that may come up.
Those of you who have been following our blog for a longer time know that we love to do some special photo-shootings for special occasions. Also this year we have decided to create a Midnight Couture Christmas Special for you. We have put together different themes and will combine them with different looks and styles. We have found a great location and can’t wait until up-coming Sunday. Follow us on Instagram and Twitter for live updates and sneak-peeks. Here are some details for you, which we will maybe us in our pictures. The next days will be very busy because of the last and last-minute preparations we have to do. For Wednesday we have been invited by Hotel Concorde for a French Tea Time afternoon. We are looking forward to this event and hope to meet some other bloggers based in Berlin. A big thanks to the Hotel for the Invitation. If you have a brand or a Online Store feel free to contact us for cooperation. We are still looking for some pieces to add …
For these delicious chocolate cornflakes cookies (my absolut favorite) you need: 250g butter 2 eggs 180g sugar one pack of vanilla sugar 350g flour 5-6 cups of cornflakes 100g dark chocolate 1/2 pack of backing powder 125g raisins Preheat your oven to 180°C Crush the cornflakes and chop the chocolate into small crumbs (if you have a good mixer or mixing machine the cornflakes will break in the mixing process). First you mix butter, eggs, vanilla sugar and sugar together. In a separate bowl we combine the flour with the backing powder. Then add it to the butter etc. mixture. Now you need the chopped chocolate and the raisins, all in there. Last but not least add the cornflakes. Form small heaps on the metal sheet covered with baking paper. Bake about 15 to 20 minutes on the second rack at 180 degree (upper/lower heat). Check after 15 minutes, it all depends on how big your heaps are. We do rather little ones because you can get more out of the recipe in the end. …
As we have already mentioned we will be having a night out coming saturday at the #someonelikeme launch event- here are some details that may be included in our party outfits. Have a lovely weekend!
Even though MAC always had some kind of fascination when I come to make-up, it took me until now to acquire some products myself. Past weekend I had an appointment at the store in order to find out colors which are suiting me best and to get a first insight to how correctly applying MAC make-up works. The good thing? I found a new hobby. The bad thing? I would need a MAC loan to cover the costs… Until then, I made a start with a basic eyeshadow palette in nude colors and a bright pink lipstick.
Bloggers from South Europe have an advantage here- right now we are really struggling with horrible weather conditions for our outfit posts. Fizzy rain, cold and grey days, no optimal light for shooting really… However, here is what we managed today! Sweater weather deluxe.

In the post before this one we have showed you some inspirations for a Birthday decoration or also usable for any other party you want to throw. Here however comes the table and house decoration of Jana’s birthday bash. If you want to have a special event make sure you keep an eye on the details because those certainly stay in mind afterwards. It’s always a good idea to stick to a colour or different shade of the same colour. When you have decided on that one you need to check some of your favorite decor or living stores or online shops for matching pieces. Don’t over do it! If you have some highlights it’s good but you don’t need a whole bunch of them.
The November weather has hit us right-away. It’s grey and rainy outside but luckily not that cold yet. If you still want to challenge your beloved leather jacket make sure to wear a cozy sweater underneath (nothing scratchy, you will go crazy over the day otherwise). Besides that add a thick scarf and a cute hat (also pay attention to the fabric which has been used). Don’t forget your umbrella when you go out. Rain isn’t that good for leather jackets! At this time of the year, when the weather allows it, taking a stroll through the countryside is a sheer delight. The leaves are so colorful and the air somehow feels fresher than during the other seasons. It dose have something purifying.

The last couple of days have been pretty stressful again. University took-up a lot of time. Then we worked on our new project together with SisterMag and had a little birthday bash yesterday. Besides that the next few weeks will be really tough because of exams and presentations. AND getting everything ready for Christmas (unbelievable how fast this year went by!). It’s always this busy month with buying presents, writing cards and baking cookies.
Here comes our this years Halloween Special for you. The pictures were taken by Michael from Reinhardt&Sommer with help of JFRcreatives and Klemens. We were thinking of witches and witchcraft this year but in a modern way. Since the earliest human cultures the belief in and the practice of magic has been a present issue. And even today it has an important role in religious and medical areas all around the globe. Most of the time witchcraft has been contacted to the Devil and was stigmatized as something evil. Especially in Protestant Europe witch-hunts became an important matter and many women were burnt on the stake. Approximately between 40,000 and 60,000 executions have taken place between 1480 and 1750. Witch hunts continue to this day. The fascination for the supernatural is still very present and has reached a high fan level and publicity with the Harry Potter books and movies. J.K. Rowling made it possible to see witchcraft from a different perspective and it hit the nerve of the time right-away. And who knows what comes …
