When fashion and cakes are combined, this is how it will look like. At the Fashion Afternoon Tea at the Berkeley Hotel you will get exactly that. Moschino, Jimmy Choo and Matthew Williamson's Collections are a true inspiration for the pastry chefs of the hotel. The small cakes are delicious and so delicate, they are almost too pretty to eat.

Getting inspired and motivated
Monday mornings are perfect for hitting the museum. All the weekend tourists are gone and you will probably be the only one there when you come early. That's the time I love, just me and the art. Here I get inspired and also motivate myself to be creative as well as work hard for the week ahead. At the Victoria & Albert Museum you can not only visit the current fashion and design exhibitions like Constable or the Wedding Dresses one but also the free all year classics like Asian Art or ancient artefacts. The Weston Cast Court is my favourite room of the museum. The enormous golden door is breathtaking and I think the craftsmanship of the details is just spectacular.

The perfect Planner for 2015
I love planning things ahead and write it down in my filofax. Not that I plan everything, I am quite spontaneous and do not need a plan and a schedule for my daily routine. But what I like to do is when a new year starts,

Christian Louboutin Beauté
The Red Soles are iconic! And what is better than having the same red on your fingers as a nail polish. I could not think of something more tempting. Christian Louboutin should have thought about it earlier. Well I am glad he launched his beauté collection with these lovely nail polishes. The signature red is just amazing and I also managed to get my hands on a nude tone ( which are the most popular shades, as I was told ) They are so beautiful and the design of the nail polish itself is divine. This probably justifies the price and makes up for the little fortune I spend for these two nail polishes. This is actually by far the most I have ever spent on beauty products in my whole life. But it is kind of worth it - because it is not only a beauty product it is a design object and collectors piece. That's what I told myself when I bought it.

Where Coffee Lovers go?
This is pretty easy and simple. They go to Kaffeine, where else do you get the best flat white in the UK? Kaffeine was awarded the "UK National Winner for the best flat white in 2014" by the Beverage Standards Association. Congratulations - You deserve it. And I can tell you that this

Foodie Heaven at Ottolenghi
Hmmmmmmm these cakes do not only look amazing - they taste like heaven. If you feel like cake you have to go to Ottolenghi, who currently has three delis and one proper restaurant called Nopi in London. So if you happen to walk around Notting Hill, Belgravia or Islington pop inside, eat cake or have some healthy salads instead. It is a London Essential that you should not miss out on.

It is too bad that...
the Horst P. Horst Exhibition has ended on 4th January 2015. If you did not manage to see it, here is the link to my blogpost about it. Nothing you have to be sad about because this amazing book about the exhibition is still available. It is an inspiration and every once in a while I browse through it and look at the masterpieces like the Picture from the Mainbocher Corset.

Cappuccino Affair
Every morning starts with great Coffee - at least in my household! When I do not drink my coffee at home I need it somewhere else. The Ozone Coffee Roasters in East London show us the way to the strong black liquid even when were aren't fully awake. I could read this sign from 100m away and even if i can't the lovely aromatic coffee smell will take me there - i am sure.

#OOTD : Pink with All Black
There is no season for Pink Accessories - it is a colour that you can wear all year round - at least that's what I think. It works with dark colours like black as well as with light or bright summer colours. I love wearing all black lately but with some spots of colour breaking it up. Adding Pink to an outfit is always a good idea, even if it is only pink lipstick. In this case it was more than just pink lips.

To all Monday Haters
Good Morning dear Monday Haters, I have something that will cheer you up. Try my Chia Pudding (made with Chia Seeds and Coconut Milk) with Plum Compote, Mango & Yoghurt. Then fill it into a red wine glass or any big glass jar. The important thing is that you can see through how all the colours and components combine in the glass. Isn't it beautiful and it is so yummy as well as healthy. By the way Mango is a true superfood, it reduces blood pressure, boosts immunity and reduces stress hormones. It is also very high in Vitamin C and Iron which also improves energy levels. So enjoy this fruity breaki and have a great week.
