I’m no model & this is no fashion blog. Anything but. But I love to get dressed up. And I am a huge fan of shopping & supporting local brands. I’ve never been a jeans girl. I don’t even own a pair of jeans at the moment. Rather give me a frock. I love me […] Read more…
A while ago I wanted to make marbled sugar cookies with embossed letters. Luckily my friend Karen from Lovilee had a set of letter stencils. And so we got together for a morning of seriously exciting marbled-biscuit-making! I find that baking & decorating is double the fun when doing it with a friend. If […] Read more…

I often find myself staring at the girly toys or clothes in stores & wondering who I can buy the glittery pink things for. What can I say? I am a girl-girl. I like girly things & pink & glitter. And I wouldn’t mind having a girl of my own either. But in reality, I’m […] Read more…
I didn’t grow up with the tradition of an Advent Calendar, so imagine my delight when I first encountered one at the age of 16 in Germany!
