rooftop green dream

Doesn't this look like a bit of paradise? A "garden" with the most phenomenal view ever. Feel like this could combine my city girl nature with a growing dream of a garden!
This is nothing compared to Eagle Street farm though - that would be the ultimate dream :)

Second Marc Jacobs live stream last night :)

Just took a couple of screen shots... that's why pics are so bad. For the look book please click here.
To sum it all up: gorgeous fall colours, big coats with tiny belts, lots of long sleeved and high necklines. All very 70s and stunning!
Before the show started the just filmed people entering the Armory, it was a big crowd. It zoomed in on this gentleman

and the camera kept going back to him sketching. Turns out it was Richard Haines, the guy behind What I Saw Today. It was amazing to look over his shoulder - literally haha.
Thanks again to the MJ crew for making watching the NYFW available to someone like me x

New York I love you

There are some places on this planet that I can't get enough of. One of them is New York City. 
The first time I came here was in the summer of 2002 when my brother and I travelled around the States for a couple weeks. It was the end of our trip and we had enough of all the tourist crap and decided to do really random stuff. He got his ear pierced and one day we decided to walk from our hotel(Broadway&86th) all the way down to Battery Park. It took us literally ALL day and I still remember the lunch we had at Union Square!
Last time I came was Christmas/New Year 2008 and I have to say that I prefer the cooler months to the sweltering heat of summer. Although I have to experience spring here, I can only imagine how beautiful that must be.

Long story short, I'm back and loving it all the same. I met up with the boys, Veronika and her great aunt Herta - an awesome lady - who's been living in the US for 40 years now. We had coffee at this cute little Viennese coffee house at the Neue Gallerie. They even had Austrian newspapers there - it dated 25th October but still :)

We walked around the city all day and late afternoon while the others went up the Empire State building I stole myself away to Borders and spent a good 1.5 hours in there. It never gets old and nothing's better than finding new books. Finally got the Satorialist book. I think the world has been waiting for that for a while. I love his blog and the book is just as amazing. Go check it out!

this is how coffee/tea gets served in Vienna, on a little silver tablet
