And again, we take a train down memory lane… For the last few days, The Cranberries‘ song Dreams lingered in my mind. The air feels already like fall – and the first leaves are turning yellow. Do you remember THIS scene from the movie You’ve got Mail? Maybe I saw the film just too often […]

It’s already harvest time! Pic by Franzi. I just came back from two days in my old hometown Osnabrück. We celebrated the second birthday of a little friend of mine and maybe I enjoyed the play time with him even more than he himself ;). Moreover, there was a garden party, good talks, cooking and

Pic by Franzi. During our summer vacations I read a lot of books – since my stack of unread books is steadily growing, I chose some books that were waiting there forever. The Botswana-based crime novels about the ‚No. 1 Ladies‘ Detective Agency‚ owner Mma Ramotswe by author Alexander McCall Smith were among them. I
Pics by Franzi. Okay, August is officially over and we say „Hello!“ to September!

Two blouses for rare occasions. Pics by Franzi. I thought I have nearly no blouses. Then I counted them and realized that I actually have NINE. Funny, I nearly never wear blouses. Only the checked men shirts (like cardigans on top of my outfit, of course). Maybe it’s time to choose them more often as

Today’s song is a classic and a big favorite of mine: Adam Green’s Emily! I had to think of it last week while watching THIS wonderful ‚micro musical‘. And now everyone: „I just don’t care about the evening news I never listen to the crackhouse blues They say the city is the place to be

Pic by Franzi. Summer is nearly over – but we still have September. Late summer means wonderful light with long shadows in the afternoon, the last warm days and a bit of melancholy in the air. Thus, it’s time to do all those things that need to be done at least one more time: Sit

The Signature of All Things is a book I wanted to read for quite some time. First, because it is written by the wonderful Elizabeth Gilbert, whose name is reoccurring regularly on this blog (read my reviews about her book Eat, Pray, Love or about her podcast Magic Lessons, if you like). Then – as a

Pics by Franzi. Did you hear about the latest big food trend, Buddha Bowls? The name comes from Buddhas ‚big belly‘. It’s one bowl filled with healthy ingredients from every food group: Carbohydrates, proteins, and yes, a bit fat. I am already addicted! How to create a Buddha Bowl (as an example): Choose vegetables you

My collection of cardigans. Pics by Franzi. Cardigans or thick wool jackets combined with a dress or skirt are something like my signature style. Thus, I wasn’t too surprised to count the enormous amount of 21 cardigans and one cardigan-like blazer in my wardrobe! That makes exactly as many cardigans as the number of skirts
