Sunshine Nail Favourites

Spring is finally here! After the last very(!) cold weeks here in Vienna the last days were filled with sunshine, long walks & sitting in the sun. I am so ready for warm temperatures! 

Tart Deco, Mint Apple Candy & Beyond Cozy are perfect for this kind of weather. It's like spring for your nails! I am normally not the super-glitzy person but sometimes I like to add some girly stuff to my regular manicure- and Beyond Cozy is perfect for that.

Quesadilla

 

The only thing to do on cold evenings like tonight is to stay home and cook. Something spicy, with a lot of cheese, avocados and pineapples. Feels like sunshine on a plate.

Pouf! Here comes the magic.

I am in love with poufs right now and looking hard to find on of those Beauties for our living room. I am on the lookout for a brighter spring colour which is kind of hard to find. At last here in Vienna. 

Even if you only have a small space, they can easily double as a coffee table or a fun alternative to a nightstand. One word: super versatile! And this is exactly what I love about them. Right now I am constantly moving our furniture around like a maniac to find the perfect set up . I'm almost done with the living room- the only thing missing is (guess what): a POUF!

Happy Sunday!

After a week of sunshine & warm temperatures, first ice creams & no socks the weekend was grey with no sun and also a bit chilly. I needed some inspiration to get me back into my sunny- mood. Here it is! I bet the chair would look great in my office- dark blue walls and bright chair! Perfect!

This book

Most of you know the talented & witty Grace Coddington from "The September Issue" or her photographs from Vogue US. When I heard that she will write a Memoir about I year ago I preordered the book immediately. I was anxious to read this book.

Grace describes her childhood, her early career as a model, working with world-class photographers as David Bailey and Norman Parkinson, before she stepped behind the camera to become a fashion editor at British Vogue in the late 1960s. And yes, you also can read about things concerning the American Vogue. And yes, of course Anna Wintour gets mentioned.

After reading her memoir I must I am a little bit disappointed- well yes, she had an amazing life, traveled a lot & met very important people. But she writes about it so boringly, with no deep insights, one yearns for more but there never is. There's no introspection, no intelligent insight into why fashion matters, the interesting facts in her life are dealt with in a sentence or two.

Nonetheless the charming drawings that populate some pages in this book are amazing. I guess she is more an artist than a writer....

Triple Feature

Chrochet lace. 

A mixture between ballet flats, moccasins & espadrilles. 

Very light. Very comfy.

I can see myself walking in those all summer long- can't wait for the heat!

A little bit more sunshine & a bit higher in the + °C zone and we are good to go!

Happy Sunday!

I just came home after a long walk in the sun and a lovely brunch with a friend I haven't seen for a while with his new girlfriend. Today was the first sunny & warm day since forever! The actual plan was to go to the museum after brunch but it was much nicer to stroll around the first district in the sun.

I also did order bulbs & flowers here for the balcony to make it even more beautiful than last year.

This video made my day. And here I lold- Christopher Waltz ♥

Bf made this on sunday night- totally impressive!

  

I'm looking to find a cherry tree to cut a few branches for a vase in the living room to celebrate the beginning of  March- it's harder than I thought. Is anyone knowing a nice little (or big) cherry tree in Vienna? 

Went bonkers at Peek&Cloppenburg. I swear I heard my Creditcard moan!

Tonight I'll watch a few episodes of Modern Family. Totally addicted! And totally recommendable!!
