Long Leo










Coat: Asos (hier)// Dress: Lavish Alice via Asos (here)// 
Scarf: H&M (similar here)// Shoes: Dune (sold out but similar here)// Bag: Prada


When I first saw this coat, it was love on first sight! When it finally came back in the shop I just had to get it and I'm so happy ever since :) It is super warm and yet stylish and fashion-forward. Even though I am a short person, I needed to have an extra-long coat. With this coat, I am ready for the spring! 

What do you think about it?

Today is an important day - not because it's International Women's Day - but because everyday is precious.

In world's history women have shaped the world more than men want to admit it.

Grace Kelly/ Grace Patricia Grimaldi (1929-1982): 
The beautiful women managed to become a world famous actress in Hollywood and the muse of Alfred Hitchcock. When she married the young prince Rainier III of Monaco, she became the princess of Monaco. With her the glamour moved to the little town and made it what it is today.

She is a young Pakastani activist for female education and the youngest Nobel Prize winner. When the Taliban banned girls from going to school she was not afraid and went anyway. She survived an attack on her life and got the face for young brave women fighting for what they believe in.






You have seen here the (for me) most extraordinary women in history. Women are stronger than men want to believe and this female power scares most men. Even in our modern times, too many women suffer from violence, terror or prejudice.

But every women should believe in her power, intelligence and ability to change the world. The women in my gallery did and formed the world that we are living in.

Have a wonderful International Women's Day!

A Weekend in Düsseldorf








The Kö Bogen 


The Kö "Graben" and the amazing Kö 



The best Bar in the city


Ever since I left Düsseldorf, I now realize how much I missed the city. My weekend there was amazing and the good weather made the day perfect! Especially the "Kö Bogen" (now that it is finally finished) looks stylish and cool. 
In Düsseldorf the fusion between the old and modern finds it's perfection. The Kö Bogen introduces the modern, clean architecture while the rest of the Kö and the old city shows the traditional architectural art. 

In my opinion the "Schlüssel" in the old town has the best "Altbier" and a great atmosphere! You should definitely visit it!

The Oscars - The worst Dresses ;)

One can't always be right... Still for the Oscars you should be sure. But there is always a next year ;) 


Lady GaGa in Azzadine Alaia 
Well we know that Lady GaGa is always up for crazy outfits (you will ever forget the meat dress ;) ), but cleaning glove for an oscar party? Not a good idea. 


Marion Cotillard in Dior 
Usually Marion Cotillard is known for her great style but personally I expected something "different". Still the women is a beauty and her talent can't not be denied. 


Felicitas Jones in Alexander McQueen 
The star of "Theory of Everything" decided to wear a little too much of everything. The pearl top could be pretty, but in combination with this horrible skirt (I personally hate these shiny skirts no matter if it's taft or silk, it somehow always looks cheap) it's just a No-Go. 
Still I love her hair and that smile.... ;) 


Solange Knowles in Christian Siriano 
After her "wedding dress" I sadly didn't expect anything good from her, and she didn't disappoint me. There is just one word for this outfit - No!


Scarlett Johansson in Versace 
Ach mann.... The dress could be so good! If it weren't for the necklace. That's simply too much. But I have to give her my greatest respect for that After-Baby-Body! 


There can't be only pretty dresses in the world and I know one thing for sure: They will appear on the Oscars. 


Still that's always entertaining ;)

Hi there! 
This weekend we have been to Heidelberg!! All I can say it is an amazingly beautiful city! Definitely worth a visit. You can find a travel report on my blog, too. 

About my outfit: When it's cold and I am on a city trip I always believe layering is the best method to keep you warm at any temperature. Right now I also love the dark colors and again my Louis. 

As you could see on my latest pictures: I went back to my natural hair colour and decided on bangs. Tell me what you think about it! I am really not sure if blond looks so good on me :D

Food Guide for Heidelberg

Mandy's American Diner - The perfect Breakfast 










As many of you may know the Americans have been stationed in Heidelberg years ago (Elvis himself has been there!). That is only one reason, why the city has a special flair. This weekend we chose to taste real american food. After so much time in Germany, without having been in the US for years, it felt wonderful to taste the well-known flavours again. 

The "Mandy's Diner" is a little old wagon in the city centre of Heidelberg, with a real american atmosphere: old-school music by Berry White and Elvis, the smell of fresh french toast and pancakes and coffee as much as you want. But for you information: a reservation is not possible ;) 
You can see the exact address on the map: 
Speyerer Straße 1, Heidelberg


Visit the website here


Stift Neuburg - The best Dinner you can get 



In our modern times, where everything artificial seems to be more perfect than the nature itself (my man: "Why should I eat the same things that apes ate thousands of years ago?"), it's a pleasant surprise to find something different. The Klosterhof Neuburg in Heidelberg is such a lovely surprise! 
The vegetable used in the food is cropped by the monks there, the beer is super tasty because the ingredients are pure and not artificially changed and the meat does not come from suffering animals. 
The atmosphere at the farm is familiar and warm. 

You can find the restaurant here (make sure you drive up the little street, passing the cloister): 
Stiftweg 2, Heidelberg


Visit the website here


So I hope you got some inspiration for your next city trip ;) 

xoxo
