coffee please!

A good coffee in the morning makes my day! For years I have been very bialetti, until I tasted a Belgium drip coffee. My friend was using a simple filter and ever since I am so melitta. I fell in love with this beautiful ceramic filter, bought it and took it home. Using freshly ground coffee is the best there is. The coffee is so mild and soft with an amazing flavor. Believe it or not – I turned into an early bird! Just love it when the apartment smells like coffee all morning.

What about you? How does your perfect coffee-moment looks like?

Ps: In the afternoon, I’m still so bialetti.

das neue schwarz

Mulackstrasse became over the years my Nr.1 spot when it comes to shopping in Berlin Mitte. It’s surprisingly quiet and less touristic. I love it for the awesome line up of nice and original shops, such as the really cool vintage store “DAS NEUE SCHWARZ”. You will find a great selection of vintage treasures from Isabel Marant, Martin Margiela, Helmut Lang, Bless, Wood Wood … plus really cool decoration and a great atmosphere.

sunday

What a great weekend!
It’s officially Spring, the sun is shining and my friend Hanna turned 30th and throw a wonderful party.
A very Swedish one! … and let’s not talk about the singing and the snaps, I’m still suffering recovering!

Lately I’ve been crusing Berlin, to discover and capture new places for my new city guide NotQuiteBerlin. Next week I’ll share some more!

every day counts

Today I have bought this very cute and inspirational Ikea Family book, which has been styled by the creative girls Caroline & Sofie from Lokal 54. The book is loaded with plenty of adorable table decoration ideas for any occasion. What a good idea to add some recipes and the sweet postcards in the back of the book. Hello – look what I have found … my name on a pot!

After all the Paris tips & ideas, I feel it’s time for a break.
I’ve spotted this really cool dress at A love is blind and I’m so inspired to keep my eyes open for some vintage flower power.
