drottningen av min borg

IMG_6675

I went on a beautiful day-trip this saturday. Actually we wanted to visit the Lenbachhaus in Munich, but we came across the beautiful castle of “Schleißheim”.
It’s a baroque building, built during the aera of absolutism and with Neuschwanstein, Herrnchiemsee and Nymphenburg one of Bavarians royal residences. As build to be a pendant to the french castle of Versailles it’s even one of Germany’s most important baroque buildings. And that it is deservedly. Enough history.
Have a look at the picture’s I brought with me for you 🙂 IMG_6714 IMG_6718 IMG_6742

The staircase is absolutely breathtaking.

And look what I found between all the stuck and ornaments…some clothing made by Vivienne Westwood, inspired by baroque design. It fits amazingly in its surrounding.IMG_6713 IMG_6708 IMG_6712

In case I ever have to host a ball…it will happen right here.

Some more stunning Westwood dresses. I would have loved to put them on just to feel like Marie Antoinette. IMG_6749 IMG_6748

Right now there’s an exhibition going on, called “In dialogue with baroque” and just like the Westwood dresses you find artworks spread all over the castle.IMG_6683

I even found an älg;)

After three castles in a row a deserved some rest and the best beer in the whole world! The gardens and all the buildings around the castle are so wide-spread that you can easily spend the day just promenading through the gardens…

Hope you had a great weekend as well!:)

getting ready…

As I live in the south of Germany, this time of the year many traditional markets are going on. It’s all about traditional clothing, food and meeting people. of course having some beer is part of the game as well;) Personally I think there’s hardly a pieces of clothing that can challenge a Dirndl when it comes to fit, style and sexyness- But hey, I’m Bavarian. What else would I say?:)
And like a typical Bavarian, I went to the Barthelmarkt yesterday, had a “Weißwurstfrühstück” this morning and watched the FC-Bayern soccer game. “Mia san mia” is a beautiful thing, at least once a year.

sunday-sun

Today some friends spontaniously persuaded me to go to the “Ammersee” for a sunday-getaway. Even if it was windy as hell we had a beautiful afternoon in the sun. I can hardly believe that it will be December next week…sunday - sun - ammerseesunday - sun - ammersee - polaroidsunday - sun - ammersee - kite
