What a cake! Liv (the official fruit addict) loves figs. They look so sexy and taste soooooooo.... (you know what I am talking about?) Its really easy to make Liv happy:Simply get her a mango, icecoffee or maybe some fresh figs. You can top it, by showing me some sunshine.

Cheep and cheerful: Handmade save the dates

The same crafty Lady, Emma, that I have just introduced to you in my last post, is getting married soon and designed her own rad invitations. Liv loves them. Cheap and cheerful!

everlasting bouquets or no flowers for my 26th

Emma of Vintage Magpie designs stunning sparkling bouquets made from vintage jewelry and fabrics. The great thing is you will have it forever. Check out all her unique creations here. (Last year for my 25th birthday I got the most beautiful bouquet of real flowers that I have saved and even moved with. I love them so much! It has been a smart decision to keep it because I didn't get any flowers this year for my 26th birthday.)

Anyways this girl is turning jewelry into flowers. How rad is that?

questions, pictures, and one day: the beach !

all photographs by MangoRed Check out their site, there is quite cool stuff on there.

Liv often gets questions about her own one-day-wedding-of-her-dreams: What kind of dress I would wear, what location I would choose.... most of the time followed by something like "I am sure you must have thought a lot about it." To be honest: No! I haven't. I am not that kinda gal ; ) A friend once said at a party: "If I should get married I want a f*cking flamingo on my head." - Interesting.

Alright I don't want to disappoint you, so: I always had the dream to live in a city by the ocean one day, so I think I would really love to get married at the beach. Perfect would be a beach (because of the amazing spirit) and city rooftop (for the incredible party) combination.

Liv is (as far as it looks like right now) not getting married in the nearer future. If I should get engaged one day there will still be plenty of time to figure it out, depending on the situation, budget, partner, and place I will be living.

(And maybe-baby there is still a picture in my head...)

What about you?

drama, baby! drama!

The dress above is one of many great costumes by Christian Lacroix for the Agrippina Opera currently shown at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden Berlin

What a stunning dramatic wedding dress this piece would make!?

I haven't seen this opera live but I am in love with the photos and I really feel like going to the theater soon.(it has been a while) This one will be a great fashion inspiration. So: If you are planning a Berlin trip soon: GO!
