Shoe of the Day

Isn't this just the perfect, elegant most festive shoe for a New Year's night out?!... 

Pair it with black stockings and a simple dress. Ready, steady, go. Spotted at www.zara.com

The Sound of the Day

It's a windy, rainy, grey Sunday afternoon - time to calm down, relax, drink tea and enjoy some good music. 
A couple of years ago, I had the pleasure to witness Randy Crawford live on stage - this lady has an absolutely amazing repertoire and a serious vocal talent. So happy I just found her album "No Regrets" - this is just the right sound for today!

Gaggle Pump

As winter holidays are approaching with a remarkable speed - it's December already! - it is time to work on a festive outfit for the holiday season. Since this year has been full of color so far, I am committed to resist to the greyness outside of my window and add - at least a minor - sunny element to my wardrobe. Don't you think these utterly chic, elegant and sunny pumps are just perfect for such an occasion?!

Cape time

As it gets chillier and windier and it is time to pack away dresses and sandals, I am looking forward to turn to one of my favorite pieces of clothing - a coat, or jacket, or blazer or trench. There are so many ways to keep warm these days - and I am loving them all! This year, however, another alternative is available to us, ladies.  The elegant, classy, flirty little cape.

Capes go back to medieval times and have made multiple entrances into the world of fashion throughout the history ever since. If you ask me, I think there is something extremely mysterious and romantic about them!

Literary

It's a public holiday here in Germany and I have a day off - what a delight!

Everything is closed today so there is no temptation to go out to shop - which makes up for a perfect sunny afternoon on a terrasse with a great book. Luckily, I am armed with two great ones at once!

The first one is a discussion of "two great men - Umberto Eco and Jean-Claude Carrière - about our digital future" - about the past, present and future of the book . 

The second one is Chanel's biography of Justine Picardie.

I have flipped over both of them and confirmed the good choice I had made. Look forward to my latte & a great reading day! Have a good one y'all - working and not-working ladies!
