The Ladurée Dream

I love the french macarons from Ladurée and when I saw this video I just had to share it.

Photo Diary: Eating Berlin

As you may have noticed, food is a major theme when I'm on vacation. I not only love eating and trying out new things, but I also love taking pictures of yummy looking food. These are all pictures from my second day in Berlin, and even though I didn't notice at the time, it turns out a lot of my day was spent drooling over delicious looking cakes and stuffing myself with macarons and bubble tea. At the end of the day when we got back to our hotel, I had two huge pieces of cake with me that I devoured in a matter of minutes. One was a slice of amazing carrot cake from a tiny cake store we found by accident on our way to dinner. The other was a slice of sticky caramel apple cake from Starbucks, and my goodness it was good! I'm starting to understand why I always put on so much weight when I'm on vacation haha.

Ich Bin Ein Berliner

 

This was my first time ever in Berlin and I had no idea what to expect when out plane landed at the airport. My first impression was that everything looked rather grayish and outdated, but that changed when we entered the center of the city. It was simply delightful and I was running extatically around in the plethora of vintage stores we'd found, not to mention drooling over the dusins of great looking restaurants. I found an amazing vintage store called Made In Berlin and I had to try out all their cool 80s shoulderpad leather jackets and funky tops. They were amazing in a way-over-the-top kind of way. I also fell in love with a store selling absinth. The bottles were a packaging designers dream so of course I had to buy my two favorites. They look like magical viles of emerald water. I had a great first day in Berlin and was very impressed with how friendly people were. I didn't bother to take a lot of pictures on this trip, but I did manage to snap af few for you.
