A Song for Tuesday: The Way We Were by Barbra Streisand!

Pic by Franzi. Today’s song The Way We Were by the iconic Barbra Streisand was inspired by my latest flea market found: Her 1980s album Memories. I love the melancholic feeling of her voice. It somehow sounds like the good-old time ;). Have fun while listening! Like always: All credits appear after clicking the links.

Time-Travel: 100-Year-Old Films Show Artists Monet, Renoir, Rodin, and Degas!

Wow, this 100-year-old footage of artists Monet, Renoir, Degas and Rodin is really impressing! It’s like a time capsule that gives a short glimpse into the past. Monet and Renoir smoking, Rodin in his (big) studio and Degas on the streets of Paris. Chin-beards seemed to be really in vogue back then :)! I wish

A Song for Tuesday: Lavender Road by The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger!

The song Lavender Road by the glamorous & über-hipster couple The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger is like a last-reminder that summer hasn’t left totally, yet. …And I am fascinated how much resemblance Sean Lennon has with his father John. Oh, and by the way: I love the look of Charlotte Kemp Muhl! Have

Hello Autumn!

Pic by Franzi. The last days in Hamburg felt pretty much like autumn: Yellow leaves, spicy air and raindrops on the windows. Now I am the first day in Vienna – I even have a cheap ticket for the Wiener Staatsballett tonight! I guess this will make myself enjoy autumn even more! I wish you

Three Fall Trends!

Here are three trends for fall/winter 2015. I have to admit that I am not very convinced. Maybe the high-waisted jeans? Or I wait and watch out for some trendy girls on the streets, who dare to wear blankets (aka ponchos) over their shoulders. …Actually, the checked shirts will look better on guys anyway ;).
