Old Parisian Artwork




I'm really looking foward to Paris in April. The last time i was there i picked up some really nice, funky old charcoal illustrations and sketchings for my parents house. Now, i will be getting some for my own living walls. And the best part is, they're not expensive.

German way of Life...Eat, Drink and be Grumpy.



Sometimes, its hard to be a cheery American around grumpy Germans. They really bring you down, and make you mad. I'm not really sure what they are so grumpy about. They have health insurance, and 30 days paid vacation !

Where to go for Breakfast in Munich





The Victorian Tea House: They have everything from Scones to Crispy Bacon Omelettes.
Eisbach Café: Try their French toast with fresh fruit and bacon...yummy!

This used to gross me out, now i find it pretty.

Have been very Lazy with La Blog. Am back.

Normally, i get really excited about something new. Like this whole blog thing. Well, its not new anymore so i got bored, thinking no one is reading this thing anyway. And the people that do read it, already know whats going on in my life anyway...so, ive been slacking, something i've been known to be good at. So, im back and this time i will try to keep this up. The little details that are going off like fireworks in my head will be noted. This blog is going to visualize it for you. And it may not make any sense to you, but it all somehow fits together and works in my little world.

Mister "Banksy"







I just like the fact that hes sneaky...and that he knows that being secretive makes his artwork even more enjoyable. A tricky one he is.

Brioche for Andy


This is dedicated to Andy. Andy loves a Brioche in the morning, especially with walnuts. Well, looky-here. Ladurèe has a lip balm with Brioche geschmack...OMG. When im in Paris, this is her mitbringsl'. Bitteschön.

Basilikum vs. Melissa




No joke, i have bought ca. 20 Basil plants within the last year. Basil does not like me, but i love it...and especially in my killer-pasta dish. My miracle green thumb seems to only work on orchids and rosemary. No matter what i do they start to die within 24 hours. Any suggestions ?

Honey is a Lip-Saver !



This winter my lips have been extremely chapped. I never had this problem, and tried everything from exfoliation, lip balm, etc. Nothing was helping until an old lady told me to put honey on my lips before i go to bed at night. Voila ! My lips are back to new ! And not only that, my boyfriend really likes giving me goodnight kisses.

Check out the new "It-Bag"


This is the new it bag from Longchamp. S/S 2009 Collection

My Breakfast


This is what ive been eating for the winter months.
Irish porridge with fresh buttermilk and brown sugar.
You cant get it in Germany, so i always buy a couple of cans when im in america.
YUMMY

Maren Esdar





1.Maren Esdar
About 4 years ago i worked for a fashion magazine and we were looking for new Illustrators each year for our Horoscope pages. I came across Maren and we decided to publish her work. She makes collages out of magazine clippings. Very cool.

Lauren



My best friend lives in Miami with her witty husband and 3 dogs. While we are suffering the harsh winter in Munich, they are enjoying the warm winter breezes of Miami by taking walks on the beach, and going to places such as the Fruit&Spice Park. We are jealous because we cant even step foot out of the house without our ears falling off from freezing, its that cold. -13 degrees Celsius to be exact. We've been friends for years, and just love the fact that we can talk as if we saw each other just yesterday. We havent seen each other in a year. I have to visit her this December. New Years in Miami with loved ones sounds fun and toasty. So, theres another trip on the list of trips ! P.S. The frog is for you lauren. And you better read the instructions and use it.
