1. Earrings – Brick Lane
2. Bag – OASAP - Here
3. Bracelet – OASAP - Here

I am back! I have been really busy lately organising my life plus I have been to Download Festival so I didn’t really have time to post. On top of it all I had some internet issues the past few days so blogging was a bit delayed for some time now! But now I am back and there is tons of posts to come!

Some lovely new things found their way into my wardrobe! As I mentioned in one of my last posts I was sent some lovely items from OASAP! You have already seen the wing ring here and here are the other two items! I love those spike bracelets and now I want the gold one too! Get yours here!

The bag was love at first sight! Remember the post when I said I have a strange relationship with bags? I either fall in love instantly and wear them to death or never! This one is one of those lovelies, it has the perfect size, a front pocket (perfect to quickly get your Oyster Card or Phone out!) and reminds me of the Proenza Schouler bags that I just love! Unfortunately this particular style is sold out now but  I have found it in a smooth leather version in three colours here! I already spottet a couple of other beauties, for example this, this or this one!

The earrings are from a small shop on Brick Lane and where quite pricey for a bit of plastic and metal (15 quid) but I just couldn’t leave them… I blame Kerstin, she said I should buy them – and I don’t regret it, I love them to bits! Thx Körsti! <3

More posts coming sooooon! ^^

Another sunday, another day on Brick Lane. Equipped with a couple of ciders we decided to enjoy the last sunny day chilling at Allen Gardens, a big field near Brick Lane. Thanks to Van Ahn we actually have some pictures of this day as Kerstin and me didn’t bring our cameras – we always go to Cafe 1001 dancing on a sunday evening! (Although my phone does look like a camera… but that’s just a Blackberry Case I bought of ebay – got mine here!)

When the sun was beginning to set a group of people with a massive speaker on wheels came down the hill and everybody started dancing and partying. I love this city.

Ein weiterer Sonntag, ein weiterer Tag auf der Brick Lane. Mit ein paar Cidern im Gepäck haben wir uns nachmittags erstmal auf den Rasen in Allen Gardens gepackt, ganz in der Nähe der Brick Lane. Dank Van Ahn haben wir auch tatsächlich Bilder von dem Tag, Kerstin und ich nehmen unsere Kameras mittlerweile schon gar nicht mehr mit weil wir Sonntags abends immer ins Cafe 1001 tanzen gehen. (Obwohl mein Handy ja aussieht wie ‘ne Kamera, ist aber nur ne Hülle von Ebay, hier gibts die zu kaufen)

Als die Sonne langsam unterging kamen dann eine paar Leute mit einem riesen Lautsprecher über den Hügel und schon sind alle aufgestanden, haben angefangen zu tanzen und die Party war in vollem Gange. Ich liebe diese Stadt.

spring feeling

Hello Lovelies! How was your weekend?

I was out and about with Kerstin again yesterday; Brick Lane strolls are kind of becoming our sunday ritual. First we went to the boxpark (which I totally ignored up until now) and munched a frozen yogurt in the sunshine – bloody expensive but oh so yummy. You’ve got to spoil yourself every now and then, right?

After that we just strolled along Brick Lane for a while, I had my favourite Japanese food again and just enjoyed the buzz in the streets before retreating to the next best patch of green to catch the last rays of sunlight. How much I’ve missed sitting on the gras and enjoying the faboulus weather. It’s supposed to stay like this the whole week, I love it!

If you life in London you’ve got to get used to the sight of foxes everywhere, they are so used to humans, they’ve lost any fear and are getting bolder every day. So it might just happen that one of these cheeky creatures crosses the road right next to you or even queues for the ATM.

Have a good week everyone!

Na ihr Süßen? Wie war euer Wochenende?
Ich war ja gestern mal wieder mit Kerstin unterwegs; langsam wird Sonntags Brick Lane schon zum Ritual für uns. Wir waren zuerst im Boxpark (den ich bis dato komplett ignoriert hatte) und haben uns einen Frozen Joghurt in der Sonne schmecken lassen – verdammt teuer aber auch verdammt lecker die Dinger. Man gönnt sich ja sonst nichts.

Danach sind wir ein bisschen über die Brick Lane geschlendert, ich hab mir mal wieder mein Lieblingsessen beim Japaner geholt und dann zum chillen auf die Wiese. Wie sehr ich das vermisst hab; einfach mal wieder im Gras zu sitzen und das gute Wetter zu genießen. Es soll angeblich die ganze Woche so schön bleiben, herrlich!

An den Anblick von Füchsen muss man sich übrigens in London gewöhnen, die sind hier so angepasst, die zeigen keinerlei Scheu gegenüber Menschen und laufen auch schon mal direkt neben einem über die Straße oder stellen sich auch schon mal in die Schlange zum Geldabheben.

Wünsche euch eine schöne Woche!

lego is back!

No, not the game! Lego is the friend of Kerstin whom I met back in October for the first time when he was only visiting the british capital for a couple of days. Now he is back in the city for 3 month – everybody falls in love with this city and moves here eventually!

Of course there is no better way to spend your first sunday in London than strolling around Shoreditch – and stuffing ones face with the delicacies on offer. I decided to finally try Okonomyaki for the first time; a japanese cabbage-based savory pancake. It tastes… interesting. Not bad at all but really unfamiliar, especially the texture. Would definately recommend it though! While I was running around the food stands trying to figure out what to get I was approached by a reader! Hello Thea if you are reading this! Was so nice to meet you!

As the tradition demands, we had to take a stereotypical photobooth pic at Rough Trade again; note my super scary look in the third pic! :D

How was your weekend?

Nein, nicht die Bauklötze! Lego ist der Kumpel von Kerstin den ich zum ersten Mal im Oktober kennengelernt habe als er nur für ein paar Tage zu Besuch in der Britischen Hauptstadt war. Jetzt ist er wieder da und bleibt diesmal für 3 Monate – jeder verliebt sich in diese Stadt und zieht früher oder später her!

Natürlich kann man den ersten Sonntag in London nicht besser verbringen als durch Shoreditch zu bummeln – und sich sämtliche Köstlichkeiten schmecken zu lassen. Ich hab mich diesmal endlich dazu durchgerungen Okonomyaki zu probieren; einen herzhaften, kohl-haltigen “Pfannkuchen”, eine Japanische Spezialität. Es schmeckt… interessant. Nicht schlecht, wirklich nicht, aber die Textur ist doch irgendwie gewöhnungsbedürftig mit all dem Kohl. Würde es jedoch bedenkenlos jedem empfehlen der mal was neues ausprobieren will.  Während ich so unentschlossen um die Essenstände schlich sprach mich plötzlich eine Leserin an! Hallo Thea wenn du das hier liest! War schön dich kennenzulernen!

Wie die Tradition es verlangt haben wir natürlich wieder klischeemäßig Photobooth Bilder im Rough Trade machen müssen; achtet mal auf meinen creepy Blick im dritten Bild! :D

Wie war euer Wochenende?

back in town

Heyaaaa!
I’m back! Haven’t told you but I’ve been on holiday last week – snowboarding in Flachau/Salzburgerland in Austria! It was so much fun but believe me, soooo cold. The first day we went snowboarding it was -22°C… no chance if you’re not completely wrapped up! I didn’t bring my DSLR because there was no point since I can hardly carry it around all the time so I took most pics with my sister’s digicam and my phone; I’ll transfer them tomorrow and show you a bit of winter wonderland in the upcoming days!

You can expect a lot of posts coming as my sister came back with me to London and she will stay till Saturday so we’ll be snapping away a lot the days to come! ;)

We decided to start her visit with a day at Spitalfields / Brick Lane today and had some amazing food along the way. The Japanese and the vegetarian Ethiopian are highly recomendable btw!
One of the sellers at Brick Lane kindly let me take her pic – I love her look! She makes beautiful designs for shirts and posters such as the cute pug you can see behind her (which my sister had to buy on a tote, she loves pugs! And so do I.).

We didn’t buy that much because the stuff is mostly overpriced and you can get nice vintage stuff for a fraction of the price at a charity shop; which is why we are going charity shopping tomorrow! I’ll show you my finds in the next days.

Hope you’re well!
