FOOD: homemade cake pops.

i think i got the baking craze, really ^^ some days ago thus i baked my very first cake pops! omg i really nearly got insane - FIVE HOURS in the kitchen. no joke. five hours. but i think the result does look quite yummie - doesn't it? :) i got the receipt from chefkoch.de.
the cake pops went down well with my pupils and family and friends.

mathematikum ♥

on wednesday we visited the mathematikum in giessen - and it was so much fun ♥ i was so happy when i saw the hommage to my favourite number right in the entry area - a whole wall lettered with x decimal places! and there were so many other things to do and see. the mathematikum is the only mathematical museum in germany. and i can definitely say: math is making you happy ♥

zoo frankfurt.

on tuesday we made a day trip to the zoo in frankfurt. it was such fun! we saw a baby tiger carried by its mum, nursed baby apes, ant bears hanging on a tree, fishes playing hide and seek, very VERY smelly giraffes and copulating flamingos, haha XD

botanical garden in giessen.

i stayed in giessen from monday to wednesday. on pentecost monday we went to a lovely green idyl in the heart of the city, not far from the pedestrian area - the botanical garden. there we saw a whole range of greenery, flowers, bushes and trees. this place is lovely and perfect for an idyllic walk to (re)think or to leave your cares behind. and it's admission free! i made some photos and wanted to share them with you.

HANDMADE: new DIY material ♥

my dears! sorry that i didn't post new stuff to read and see the last days but i stayed in gießen from monday to wednesday. came back happy and very tired! ♥ and i got a sneezy nose :( but it's getting better. i will provide you with impressions of my little trip the following days :)

recently i bought some new stuff for new and great DIY projects from sellers on dawanda - resin stickers, clips and settings! guess what i will do with this lovely stuff ?! :)

let's be creative! :D

new in: epaulettes with spikes

this is a half haul! the jacket is somewhat old but the epaulettes are new - i bought them from ebay and i think they fit quite well with my beloved bouclé jacket from H&M. i bought the latter 2 years ago and i still love it - also with it's renewal. what do you think of it? ♥

impressions of my room.

i've already shown you a part of my room and now i want to show you my whole room - apricot coloured walls, my 20-year old piano, 4 wardrobes, many cuddly toys and an antique dressing table which my great grandmother already used. thus it's a real heirloom. i love my room but i would like a more homogeneous colour scheme. what do you think of it?

OUTFIT: forget your troubles, c'mon get happy.

FOOD: focaccia with chorizo & rocket salad with walnuts and cheese.

have you ever tried foccacia? this is an italian scalloped bread, which can be filled with sausage/salami, tomato slices and a bit of cheese. i love my foccacia in addition with rocket salad, chorizo and mild, full-fat cheese.

lately i made foccacia for dinner, in addition with a nice salad with tomatoes, rocket salad, walnuts, iceberg lettuce and cheese bits.

you should really try foccacia yourself. it's very easy to make and extremely delicious and saturating ♥

OUTFIT: pushing daisies.

going to the mrs greenbird concert in saarbruecken today! yeah i'm so happy :D and because i'm so happy i was in need of a colourful outfit!

... the scenography of 'pushing daisies' (have you seen it already? it's really worth watching) inspired me to wear this pop-of-colour-outfit and i feel very comfortable in it. those colours just elevate my mood and are the thing for spring ... sorry for the unintended rhyme ... XD

dress: H&M

cardigan: vintage

ostrich leather bag: from italy

guitar brooch: handmade

moth ring: via ebay

floral ring: handmade

necklace: handmade

FOOD: homemade macarons.

some days ago i made my very first macarons - i was a bit frightened whether they would succeed or not, but they did and i was so so so proud and happy, you won't believe it, haha. i felt like the queen of the kitchen and they really elevated my mood XD ... unfortunately when we went shopping before i just couldn't find pastelike food colouring which you actually need to colour the macarons so they look a bit pale. but they were delicious, i can tell. it's declarating that my mum ate most of them XD but that's the nicest compliment she could give me, because she is a fantastic cook. but she cannot bake - that is my part ... XD

if you want the receipt just feel free to comment below ♥

impressions of the week ♥

OUTFIT: the heart is hard to translate, it has a language all of its own ♥

this is my new favourite dress! it's from mint&berry and you already saw it in my last haul. i love the shape, the design, and oh the fit is simply fantastic and i just feel very comfortable in it, but at the same time very dressy - and i like it!

i wore this dress the last days and also recorded some songs for youtube in it - you can find one of my videos below. more songs are about to follow soon, so stay tuned ♥

OUTFIT: trading facts for magic ♥

orange skater dress + heels: H&M
earrings from mummy: vintage
watch: rolex
bracelet 1: H&M
bracelet 2 + ring: via ebay

FOOD: homemade cupcakes with raspberries.

... two days ago i baked my very first cupcakes! i got the base receipt from the kleiderkreisel blog and i refined it a bit with food colouring, rasperries instead of blueberries (because i found none when i went shopping and i like raspberries better, though) and, don't laugh, lillifee jewels (lillifee juwelen) which i also found when i shopped the ingredients for the cupcakes!

they taste as good as they look and they were as complex (or breath-taking) to make as they look!

if you want the receipt in english (with all the refinements), feel free to comment below! ♥

haul, vintage, lace, mrs. greenbird and pink ♥

i've got a new lovely haul for you! these are items i bought the last days, now compressed in one neat haul post!

i received my mrs. greenbird tickets - yeeeeeah! :D i will see sarah and steffen on the 14th of mai in saarbruecken. i'm so looking forward to it.

FOOD: asparagus with sauce hollandaise, potato balls and pork.

i was SOOOOOO proud when i made my first asparagus and i succeeded! just like every time when i try a new receipt and it's a success - that's actually always the case but every time i'm SOOOOO over the moon and i feel just like i could achieve anything. it's just like the same feeling i get when my little schoolchildren get a good mark, when i learn a new piano piece, when i eat chocolate or when i get a beautiful compliment ♥


... i made the asparagus with hollandaise, potato croquettes and skewers with pork and bacon. looks yummie, huh ?! :D

OUTFIT: modern hippie ♥

some days ago i wanted to try to make the romantic messy pigtail shown by goldengirlTV on youtube. the pigtail sounded and looked quite easy to make. and haha, i think this was really the first time that i had a sense of archievement, because every time i tried to do a normal one i just didn't succeed. and i think the hairstyle with the nude flowers fits quite well to my hoss intropia silk pussy bow blouse which i won in a blogger giveaway last year. the jewellery is all handmade. you can find most of the articles here. also check out my giveaway. what do you think of my outfit? ♥
