Christmas Under Palms

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture
Yesterday Vanessa brought me to the airport and I left for the holidays. This year I am celebrating Christmas not in winter wonderland, but under palms on the beautiful island of Madeira.
I have to admit, I had to make myself familiar with the thought of celebrating Christmas in a warm country. I thought it wouldn’t really feel like christmas and something would be missing.
But since I’ve celebrated here also last here, I can say that’s definetely not true.
The whole island is decorated with a thousands of lights and things christmas trees with lots of balls, mistletoes and everything else you can imagine. Moreover you can have the view of the isalnd , which is looking like a giant Christmas tree itself with all the marvellous lights.
There’s a christmas market and “Santa Baby” is played everywhere. To sum up: over here, we have all the christmassy stuff we have in Germany or anywhere else.
The only difference: you can swim in the light blue pool, can lie in the sun and wear flattery dresses without coat and gloves.
There’s nothing left to say but wishing you all a Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Our friendship began with contraries. Now we are twins.

There are some friendships in this world that are absolutely extraordinary. You found someone
with whom you have a feeling you don’t have with anyone else. Without this person there
would be something missing in your life. I think you can guess who I’m talking
about… My Vanessa.
The time I passed in France made me think of a lot of different
things that are happening in my life, back here I see some things with different
eyes and somehow clearer than before. I thought a lot about my friendships, the most
important ones and what makes them so special for me. So I remembered how I met her this
one day in school. It was the day on an English competition and all students were passing
some tests to find out there English Levels. I was in the waiting room with Vany and a
couple of classmates. I think this was the first time we talked with each other and somehow
we got very familiar in such a short time. After this day we found out that we are in the
same dance class every Wednesday and Thursday. Also in school we started to spend more
time together every day.
Some weeks later, we got closer and closer, indeed everything went
very fast.
Our first meeting was a going to Berlin together-for some shopping of course.
Here as well both of us realized that we are fitting together perfectly and our opinions are
going along very well. We had so much fun! I can remember us talking and talking as if
we’d known each other for years!
In the evening I was sleeping over at her house and the
first picture of us was taken- it was a contrast picture. Vanessa was dressed all in black
and I was standing next to her all in white with a crème pearl vintage clutch in my hand.
This picture expressed the black and white contrast, we did have the idea because of
Heidi Klum’s Germanys Next Topmodel season in which they had made a shoot of
contraries.
This had been the upbeat for a wonderful friendship. I think we did meet each
other at least once a week the following weeks. We found out that we can share all our
thoughts with each other, that the other one would always be there. Moreover we r
ecognized that we share the same passions in life. We two love to dance. Dancing
together with such a good friend is the best you can imagine. Every rehearsal, every
performance, every movement makes fun because you have a dear person next to you
doing the same thing and having such a lot of fun too.
The next important fondness in
our life is of course fashion! We are both passionate Vogue readers- I couldn’t find anyone
else with whom I can talk that good about fashion articles etc. as I can with Nessi.
Therefore we did create this blog together so that we can share our common thoughts
about fashion with others.
Vanessa and me, are completing each other: we are two
pieces fitting perfectly together. Together we went through so much… Of course we had
some small trouble, but we weren’t able to be without each other for long! We experienced
so many situations along with each other. I think one of the most significant was this one:
we danced in a performance in the theatre together. After this we took the tram to go to a
café to drink some coffee. In the tram was a little girl, suddenly she was pointing at us and
was telling her mom: “Look mummy, they are twins!” We just looked at each other- and
had to laugh so badly. It wasn’t even that funny, just the situation was really striking us
in some way.
Although we haven’t known each other for eternity, Vanessa is one of the
most important people in my life.
Some weeks before, she handed me her calendar diary
(I love designing diaries with fashion collages and speeches) and I wrote one sentence on
the first page that is, how I think, describing our friendship the best:
“Our friendship began with contraries. Now we are twins.”

Berlin – The New Fashion Metropolis?

Veröffentlicht von Midnight Couture

Ask people about fashion hot spot cities in this world, what are they going to answer?
Paris? True. London? Yeah. New York? Yes we know that. Milan? Agreed.
But
this just can’t be everything! There’s one thing missing, isn’ t there?
YES, we say,
since some years.
The big B. Cool. Hip. New. Advancing.
Home of important designers
like Alexandra Fischer-Roehler and Johanna Kühl for Kaviar Gauche, Michael Michalsky,
Sisi Wasabi, Wolfgang JOOP. With Models like Eva Padberg or Nadja Auermann.
With shopping miles like ‘Kudamm’ and hottest districts like ‘Mitte’.
BERLIN.
For me,
it’s the most promising new style metropolis, which can actually hold a candle to London’s
or New York’s fashion community. That was recently proved by the Berlin Fashion
Week 2009, which was a big success.
There were countless exhibitions, showrooms
and – of course- fashion shows. Fashion guests from all over the world came and
enjoyed the experience of countless new designers, with innovative ideas and highest
creativity.
For people, who are convinced of Berlin’s new role as fashion city, the reason is
that now, still everything is possible. The scene can be altered and changed, makes
place for newcomers and advances the already existing.
Everyone has a chance to be a
part of it, to live fashion and be fashion, in the city our hearts belong to.

You’re a dance machine

We guess we met the first time at a ballet class. Totally strange!

We both visit the same school and ballet lesson. How did we pass each other one wholeyear without notice? Crazy!?

One day we started talking to each other: “Oh aren’t we at the same school too?!”

“Yes we are!” And that was the day when a new unbelievable friendship started.
Since that day we both found out that we are Fashion Lovers and buy theVogue rather then food (thanks Sex and the City). Taking photos and go out together is today the most normal thing on earth. Berlin has captured our hearts and we lvoe to hang out in the city together.Always new and amazing things we see on our trips.

Therefore we are starting a totally new Lifestyle Blog. It will bring new ideas not only for the readers but also for us personally. Be a part of it and see the world in a new dramatic but totally stylish way!
