“I dream my painting and I paint my dream.”

On Thursday I finally met Dean from PickledThoughts. A very talented and vibrant photographer based in Berlin who was looking for a dancer to take some snaps with. The little photo-session turned out to be a super great morning in Berlin. Normally I am unhappy with dancing pictures of myself but these have truly captured my heart since they show me as a person, who I really am and what my passion is. I’m faraway from being a perfect dancer, which is certainly why I love dancing so much: you will never reach the finish line. Always find something to work on, to improve. Dancing is certainly never easy and for me just half the effort is not enough. I really push myself to a limit. Normally I train 5 times a week and on the weekend do my own home workout. Told you… always on the run. Check Deans official page for some more pictures taken by him! We will be working on more fun projects together.

Midnight Couture wishes a Merry Christmas!

It has grown to be our little tradition to surprise our readers with a special shooting each year for Christmas! This time our pictures involve a lot of joy and movement- we have never been fans of stiff pictures and due to our common history as dancers we somehow can only flourish when we are on the move! What is more, this year we have been supported by numerous people and we are very thankful for everything! Thanks to the marvelous photographers team of Johannes Räbel and Reinhardt&Sommer for gorgeous shots and the right equipment. Thank you very much Zalando for providing us with the latest fashion for the shoot. Last but not least a big thank you to Calma Hotel in Berlin Mitte for the location!

Preparing something Special

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.

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 …

A CityWest Shopping Guide for Hotel Concorde

When Hotel Concorde came along with the idea that we could create a Berlin City West Shopping Guide for their blog it was hard to resist the chance. We selected a hand full of stores located on and around Kurfürstendamm which we visited on a Saturday afternoon to snap some pictures. Afterwards we had the chance to dine in the Brasserie Le Faubourg. Our store list: Bücherbogen Amorph BCBG Max Azria Mulberry Strenesse See the whole article on the Hotel Concorde Blog

Japanese Garden

A cup of tea is always a good idea. When heading out for a bike tour we made a spontaneous stop  at a Japanese bonsai garden and enjoyed a cup of tea plus some Japanese sweet-treats. I have  never been to a Japanese garden but loved it straight away. It is really comforting and very  relaxing. The tea was perfect (tried a tea flower for the first time) and the whole  arrangement harmonious.  Japanischer Bonsaigarten  Fercher Str. 61  14548 Schwielowsee OT Ferch

Tunes for the Weekend

It’s Friday. Big HURRAY for that. I really love enjoying some good tunes around the  weekend and therefore I have put together a little playlist for you, too. Here are the best three songs, find the whole list on our YouTube Account. Bastille feat. Ella – No Angels  (really love the Psycho dialog at the beginning) Alt-J – Taro  (the Indian influence is divine) Art Of Shades – All Away (Feat. Soukaïna) 

Statement Necklace

We think every girl should own a statement necklace. You never know when you will need one.  A big necklace used to be something for the evening but fashion wouldn’t be fashion if it hadn’t  turned even this piece into an wearable day look. Why not wear a pair of jeans, a simple white  shirt, a perfect tailored blazer, some chelsea boots and add a beautiful necklace. A chic  combination a whole day long. Jana loves hers from NoaNoa.

Thank’s for that!
