Some pictures from last night at BOLD. Sweet Svenja and Julia! Gonca did a great job collecting money for FRIEDENSDORF e.v. Bread Exchange brought Black (White) Bread colored with Charcoal (all ingredients from Bread exchange trading). I love the look of the black bread to the white butter and pink Quinces. There were also some Lavender Carmel Cookies for sale. … Read More
a Dior shade of Bread
If Dior was a color, I guess it has to be the dove gray tone used on labels and in their stores. It is a very feminine and elegant gray. Personally, I find it a bit too flat. There’s a limit to how exciting one can get in that color. Especially when you are Blond. But for labeling, I find … Read More
Good Mood Day
Care Packages are probably one of the safest way to make my day. I love to make them. I behave like a kid when I get them. Saskia, my german friend who moved to Paris due to Love, cheered me up with one today. The package was filled with sea salted caramel. Her boyfriend has a house in the south … Read More
Eat with me
In September I traded A black sea salted sourdough with an Australian girl. Bethany Jones brought me Vegimate and a chili plant. I am really skeptical towards Vegimate. The one and only time I tried it was during a road trip in the Brittish coutry side. I remember I spread a fat black layer of Vegimate on my toast, like … Read More

Lenneke from Rotterdam send her Love … Read More

So now I have christmas deco hanging on my door. The silk fabric is from Singapore (I made myself a dress in … Read More

Trade Suggestions: Connection to someone with a Horse. Or a Sailboat (thanks for the sailing sessions at Wannsee Martin!) A spot on the guestlist. … Read More
Queen of Soups
This week is soup week in the Elmlid residence. Tuesday was chicken soup with kim chi. A brutal classic that I just dare to serve my closest circle of friends. Kills any sickness and keeps the bad spirits away. Tonight I will be making a cream soup with Jerusalem artichokes. It is a old time classic that I learned in … Read More
the Country of Details
If you are going to loose your buttons, loose them in Zürich. Roosens had the best selection on fine leather buttons. Perfect for my long black wool coat. I wore it with my vintage Appenzeller Belt (thank you Sibylle and Hans Peter!) and the Margela scarf from Warsaw. I guess my mom could have looked the same when she got … Read More
