Christmas Inspiration

Hey my lovely readers and fellow bloggers, how's it going? Are you all having a nice Christmas season?
I'm currently trying to escape all the school stuff in my head by blogging more ;-)
Picking photos and editing them plus writing texts the way I like is simply relaxing and distracting me from what I actually have to do for university, haha. My mom's gonna come over this weekend to pick me up and take me home for a Christmas break, so I'm gonna have some family time far away from university. I still have to study during the holidays though, ugh!
Anyway, today you get to see loads of inspiring Christmas pics I took during the last few years in Germany and NYC. Some stars, some decoration, some candy and holiday glam...
If you live in Germany or only visit you should definitely check out some wonderful Christmas markets, such as the Dortmunder Weihnachtsmarkt, where I took some of these pics. It's one of the biggest markets in Germany during this season and always worth a visit. Have a hot chocolate or "Glühwein", enjoy some traditional German food or buy some thoughtful presents for your loved ones - there's a lot to do on Christmas markets!
If you happen to spend Christmas in New York make sure to swing by the huge tree at the Rockefeller Center, go ice skating in Central Park or Bryant Park, and check out the amazingly decorated shop windows on Fifth Avenue - the city is a true winter wonderland in December!
Hope you like the photos and have a wonderful Christmas season! xoxo

A Love Letter to Henri

Dear Henri Bendel, I miss you! 
Honestly, I have never bought anything in your ultra glamorous store on Fifth Avenue - admiring all these tiny treasures you're hiding over there just by looking at them was simply enough for me! Let me tell you, strolling through your upscale specialty store was always a pleasure for me, I would spend hours in this spot taking pictures of all the fabulous things you offer. Entering your emporium I found myself in a wonderland, surrounded by glittering boxes, sparkling jewelry, unique books, splendid make up, delicate candy and the most amazingly dressed mannequins. This is why I dedicated a couple posts to you already.
I promise, as soon as I come back to New York (hopefully very soon) I'll visit you! Until then, keep on shining like a diamond illuminating the oh so glamorous Fifth Avenue!
Lots of love, Laura

I'm glam ... therefore I am

Have a look at the marvelous holiday decorations at Henri Bendel on Fifth Avenue! Pure glamour rules the store.

I'm so in love with this cute pop-up book!

Glamour in the City

The Christmas time in the city is amazingly glamorous! Two weeks ago the plane took me from Germany to New York City...welcome to my new life! Now here I am, walking the streets of the Big Apple, passing by the incredibly decorated shop windows of Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue and gazing at the huge colourful Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. Could it be better?

Magic at Tiffany's
