What to wear: Stripe Shirts

“Hello, my name is TwentyNineSomeone and I am a Stripe Shirt addict.” Yes it’s true, right now I could literally wear my new favourite shirt everyday. Especially “Casual Friday” is a good occasion to bring a little bit of a french touch to “le train-train quotidiene” in the office (wearing long trousers though). Find the…

Places: Brooklyn

When in Williamsburg… Where to find the best eggs in a bowl, the most charming rooftop bar and simply delicious vietnamese spring rolls. Wandering around in Williamsburg on a Saturday Morning and desperately looking for the right place to have a decent breakfast, made me stop by at “Summers Brooklyn”. Graving for cold pressed, fresh…

Living Abroad…and the perception of time

Trial and Error: Smokey Eyes

At first I wasn´t quite sure whether to put this post into the “What to wear” or “Trial and Error” category. As you can see I chose the latter one and I will be very honest with you: Mastering the smokey eye look is a livelong learning experience (going from panda bear eyes, over “You…

What to wear: It’s Friday…

…I’m in Love. This song from “the Cure” (just love it since ever) might not be about Robert Smith (frontman) desperately looking forward to wearing a pair of jeans on “Casual Friday” in the office…but in my case, it would be (about the shoes mostly)!!! Ralph Lauren blue…

Trial and Error: Vegan Pancakes

After having had to deal with some stomachache issues, my doctor advised me to try a wheat free diet (meaning not completely gluten free, but eliminating pasta, pizza, white bread, muffins for weeks). It turned out to be successful and besides getting rid of my crazy tummy, a nice side effect was that my energy…

Trial and Error: Surfing

What it´s supposed to look like Remember watching movies like “Point Break” or any other random youth TV series playing in California? Who wouldn´t love to hang out on the beach everyday, waxing one´s surfboard and waiting for the best wave to come. Even better: Ending the day by sitting around the bonfire, playing…

What to wear: Disco Inferno!!!

Every Once in a while “Disco” finds its way back in Mainstream: In the 90’s it shortly lived up thanks to Moloko’s Clubhit “Sing it back”, in the 2000’s “Goldfrapp” appeared on the radar and 2013, “Daft Punk” really managed to put Disco and Funk back on the track. No need to hide and seek:…

Places: The Hills are alive with the Sound of …

From an international point of view,…

Top Ten: Cabin Sized Luggage

Travelling – no matter it’s due to private or business reasons – always brings one thing with it: Packing! I know hardly anyone, who really loves packing, cause it always automatically triggers the same questions: What should I take with me? What if I forget something? How can I manage to pack as little as…
