Pic by Franzi. It’s time for a new category: My look of the week! Now that I counted my whole wardrobe I would like to show you why I need all those items and how I combine them. Today I start with a warm autumnal look (There was the first snow in Hamburg yesterday!). Shoes:
The autumnal campus of the university of Hamburg. All Pics by Franzi. This was a golden fall weekend here in Hamburg. Okay, there was a lot of rain and icy wind as well but it’s always amazing to see the sun come through the heavy clouds at this time of the year. Nevertheless, I spent

The autumnal view from my window.

An early morning in Münster! All pics by Franzi. I just spent a few days in Münster and Osnabrück. The weekend schedule included: The Zoo in Münster, a film night watching THIS (don’t ask…), playing with a toddler, Halloween with friends and crafting advent stars (I am not very talented, but it was fun). A
Do you like Pumpkin Spice Latte? I somehow have a romantic imagination when I think about this hot U.S. imported autumnal drink. Unfortunately the Starbucks version is way too sweet for me. But what about home-made? The most common recipe I found in the web sounds as following (via allrecipes). I really wanna try it
