A Photoshoot

A few weeks ago I "modelled" for a project my friend Vivi had to do for her art and design school. I am by no means a model but she asked if I could help her and we have been taken photos together for years now so I happily agreed. Today she gave me the photos and I thought I'd share a few of them with you!


The first one is an supposed to be an idealized personal portrait. We wanted to use a picture where it seemed as if I was some sort of peaceful fighter for feminism and what came to mind as an inspiration this painting:

This is the result:

There are some other photos she took of me during these shootings and a few of them I really like:

Oh, also this happend:

Some Everyday Pictures

I have realized that I have shown you a lot of photos from shootings or where I had just put on make-up, done my hair et cetera so i thought I'd show you some pictures of my in my real, honest everyday life. They're obviously less good than pictures where I look my best but I still kind of like them. Here we go!

Me at Mc Donald's, prettiest backround ever. Not.

It's getting cold...

This morning. I really need to clean that mirror...

Me and Albertus Magnus appreciating the first proper snow of the year at uni. Albertus Magnus is the statue, not the bike.

I am really excited about all the snow! I met some people from Spain at uni and they have never seen snow before. Can you believe that? They got really excited and infected me with their happiness :)

Have a great day,

Christmas in Cologne

It's nearly Christmas! I love love love Christmas! On Saturday, the 1st of December, we had the first snow here in Cologne which is pretty early for the area I live in. To honour this wonderful time of the year I want to share some pictures I took in the city my heart beats for.
I proudly present: Winter in Cologne!

I hope this will be the beginning of a little series through december, if you like it at least!

Moments of Life

I have Instagram even though I do not use it frequently. Over the last few weeks I took a few snapshots of things and situations in my life that I wanted to show you.

My dear friend Vivi in her art and design college. There will be a seperate post about why I was there.

Taking a break

Obligatory in winter: Vanilla candles and ginger chocolate

Stickers about veganism that I saw at a bus station

Have a great day!

Autumn Love

I love autumn! The leaves, the weather, ginger tea, the sun, warm knitted things, scented candles, pumpkins... How can you not love this? In order to celebrate this wonderful season I took a few pictures during the last weeks, enjoy!

Writing letters in candle light is just so much more epic than in the boring, bright sunshine of summer, it has a whole different style to it.

The most stereotypical and yet most amazing dish for autumn will always be pumpkin-ginger soup for me!

I made some autumn themed cupcakes for my boyfriend's birthday a few weeks ago, they're decorated with chocolate leaves, brown sugar, sprinkles and nuts.

Aaaand of course: Leaves!

Have a great day and enjoy autumn!

Boys and Girls of Every Age...

...would you like to see something strange?

Tomorrow is Halloween. Finally. This year I didn't really have the time to plan a costume but because my friends and I plan to go to an Irish pub that will have a Halloween themed night, I fooled around with some make up this evening.  The result is not ideal but I think it will do. My mum looked at me and said "Your boyfriend is going to leave you..." so I think it looks alright.

How do you dress up for Halloween?
Have a great day,

Some more Holiday Pictures

My friend Imke gave me her photos from our holidays and there are some she took of me that I rather liked so I thought I'd like to share them with you.

Squirrel!!!

Have a great day,
