Did you know?

That wild green parrots live in London's Hyde Park. They are so beautiful and colourful. First I did not believe what I saw -Green birds were flying around and made weird sounds. When they settled on this tree I got this shot of one of the three parrots. There is just so much to discover in London and you wouldn't think you see tropical parrots, would you?

Dinner at NAC - Mayfair

There are lots of London restaurant reviews in the pipeline. I will kick off this year with the NAC, which I really enjoyed. It is not posh and overly expensive like most of the other Mayfair restaurants. But don't get me wrong it is hip and a great place to have dinner. I think it is quite rustic, down to earth and has a great vibe. 

Sneaker Love

I used to hate Sneakers, Trainers and every sporty looking shoe. But now I kinda love them. Funny how quickly things can change. Sneakers are comfy and can be pretty stylish as well as you can see above. These golden beauties by Rupert Sanderson waited for me and screamed: Take me with you - So I did. Thank god that the winter SALE is still going on.

Creamy Risotto with Brown Mushrooms

Risotto is an Italian classic which consists of rich but simple ingredients. But great Risotto is quite hard to find, maybe because it has to be cooked to perfection. I had many things on my plate when I ordered Risotto from rice pudding to rice salad. I will reveal my perfect Risotto Recipe. 

/////

Risotto ist ein Klassiker in der italienischen Küche. Ein eigentlich einfaches Gericht, das man in den meisten Restaurants jedoch nicht bestellen sollte. Risotto ist nicht gleich Risotto. Von Reissalat bis pampigem Milchreis hatte ich schon vieles auf dem Teller, doch mit meinem Risotto hat das nicht viel zu tun. 

Ich teile mit euch nun mein Geheimrezept.

Sports Essentials for 2015

Fitness is a big part of my new routine this year. My goal is to hit the gym at least three times a week. Well let's see how it goes - but my new sport essentials are quite motivating. These headphones are so stylish and brighten up my training. They are colourful, cool and play great Work-out Songs on Spotify. I know that's what headphones usually do but they do not only play music, they are a fashion accessories and a statement - *I love fashion and even at the gym I am demonstrating that I have style*. Check out The Macbeth Collection for more designs and styles, if you also like unique headphones.

Monday Monday

It is the first Monday in 2015 and I am starting it with french pastries. A crispy fluffy croissant helps me through days like this. It is Monday and nobody likes it. For most of the people who are working it is the first working day of the new year. Hopefully this monday started off great like mine with these lovely croissants that I bought on the Marylebone Farmers Market yesterday.

First Things first

When I got back from my skiing holiday there were a few things that I missed while away. I missed my flat with my comfy bed, a Banana Bread at Kaffeine, Harrods of course  and a Pimm's at my favourite Pub which is The Bunch of Grapes in Knightsbridge. Cheers to the new year 2015.

Happy New Year everyone. How did you celebrate? 

Addicted to the Matterhorn

Once you have seen the Matterhorn you'll not want to go anywhere else. I promise you. It does not feel right to leave the Matterhorn behind. The feeling that I won't see this spectacular mountain for one year makes me sad. The view is just breathtaking from the village of Zermatt but even better from the slopes. I cannot get enough of the Matterhorn. It is the most beautiful peek in Switzerland and in fact the whole world. There is no better place on earth to ski. 

Lunch at Bontadini

Haters gonna hate - but I just have to share this picture with you. This was my lunch at Bontadini today. It is a restaurant not far from Testa Grigia right at a slope. This Truffle Risotto was so delicious - just a proper skiing meal.

Winter Wonderland at the Matterhorn

Usually I am not really a skiing fan! Why? Well there are several reasons: it is cold sometimes even very cold, you have to wear an extra 5kg in cloth and you hardly get any sun when it snows. But this changes when I see the Matterhorn.

The 10 Best London Christmas Lights

I love Christmas and it does not matter if you like it or not. Everyone loves Christmas Lights and christmassy decorations. Am I right?

Lunch with a view at Oblix

London is full of fantastic restaurants but there are a few with a view. So if you like something special for the holidays you should book a table at the Oblix on the 32nd floor in the Shard.

Covent Garden Christmas Lights

Covent Garden is very touristy, crowded and loud but the christmas decorations are worth going there. Try to avoid weekends because it is even more busy. 

New Phone - New Cover

I am so excited that I finally received the iPhone 6. It's faster, bigger, has more storage and the camera is better too. Superb - but with the different size of the phone I cannot use the iphone 5 covers so I needed a new one. Unfortunately there is not so much of a choice since the phone is so new. But I am in London- there is nothing that I cannot get. At Victoria's Secret I found this and I liked a lot. It's pink, cute and practical...
