(P)interesting August!

Sum-up of August! Why, WHY is it September already?! I love portraits of strong women and I’d almost commit murder (or eventually start a DIY project, … I guess that’s the better option : ]) to get my hands on these coral rings! I in general find corals, hundreds of thousands of polyps in union, amazing beings. But what fascinates me most is...

Sunday Excursion!

So today, after sleeping in REALLY long, I decided to go on a ego-bicycle trip : ). The place where I cycled to is called Katzensee or translated cat lake (I have yet to find out the reason behind it). Unfortunately the beach was really packed with people (even the naturist area : ]), so I just cycled around the lake, took pictures and went home again. Short and nice :D (and for once I...

Macarons!

I always wanted to try but never dared to bake macarons myself so far! Now I did and I loved them! What you see here is actually already my second attempt ^^°. The original recipe is by Martha Stewart and it is quite simple. I actually didn’t use a pastry bag as the ground almond I used constantly blocked the tip …=_=° And I used cherries as a filling topped off by a meringué, which...

Sartorial Minglings: Floral

Summer’s finally back again! Actually this is what I wore on Monday while it was still pouring… and I forgot my umbrella at home (when I left home in the morning no rain clouds were visible anywhere and I don’t read the weather forecast… should start though ^^°) so I got soaked when returning home. Nice start into the week, loved it D:. Literally a black...

Sartorial Minglings: Pleats

Since I finally repaired my sewing machine I altered a maxi skirt into a (very slightly) high-low skirt. I love looking at maxi skirts but I was neaver really satisfied when trying to include it in an outfit (perhaps because I’m too tall and it’s black…) so it eventually got amended : ). Throwing it away was never an option since I love it ♥! ↑ My newest (temorary)...

(P)interesting June!

I don’t use Instagram (my phone’s too old :O…) but I’m severely addicted to pinterest to compensate for it instead : ) (The link is right underneath each image!)

Paris, je viens! At least blog-post wise...

So Couture Week (I almost wrote Fasion Week, oh my, I’m so knowledgable, I know) has begun again in Paris and I find the street styles captured amazing and really inspirational! So many florals, neons etc., who can resist that anyway? I’m planning to adapt a few of the ideas seen here to my own wardrobe, so be prepared for plenty of DIY outfits to come during the next months :...

London

London is such a vibrant city; I loved it a lot! And we actually experienced 4 days of utmost beatiful weather, that sure is quite exceptional for this irrespectively lovely place : ). And it was incredibly crouded! One of the most busiest cities I have ever seen (minus Hong Kong :D). Anyway, I am sure to go back, sooner or later (the sooner the better, I feel though). So If anyone...

Damn You Alexis ‘Ne Derangez Pas’ Mon Dieux!

I guess anyone even only distantly involved in plus size fashion has seen them already, but god, are they AMAZING! So I can’t resist to post them anyway : ). Damn You Alexis’ new collection named ‘Ne derangez pas’: Tara Lynn est magnifique ♥. Elle certainement represente que la mode ne connaît pas de tailles (excuse my French :9)

8th of February's Attire

Finally after a very, very long time a new post!

So here we are: My outfit today (and I admit, yesterday too ^^°). I love that necklace and I finally wanted to try out circle lenses : ) Necklace, Trousers &...

4th Advent

My arguably glorious weekend mainly consisted of studying, sleeping, drinking coffee and watering my plants.And I managed to go to IKEA once in a while! I’m actually one of those nutty people that go there by BICYCLE… After 20 min I was basically deep-frozen but at least it started snowing on my way back ♥. (And thanks god non of the stuff I loaded on my bicycle in a rather unorganized...

Italian Dinner

AAND… be awed to see my messy room *_* (and Ikea all over)

Interior Designs I Love

I love them… but looking at what my room actually looks like is just so depressing… I’d basically die to be able to see New York’s skyline from my balcony…

Wishlist ASOS

There are a few things I’m really in love as of now! But they happen to be a bit expensive and I seem to have missed any sales if there actually were some… I’ll at least wait until I get my next paycheck :O… So here we go (more to be added later I guess ^^°): Yes that’s it! : ) Just another two weeks to go….
