My Day With Instagram

After the baking orgy yesterday one of the worst things (for me) happened: I forgot my camera at my sister's place in Berlin. I (of course) noticed it when I was half way home and couldn't turn back. To make the best out of this situation I turned to iPhone's app store and finally downloaded the little app called 'Instagram' which has been used inflationarily in the blogger scene in the last months. It is really easy to use and turns all your taken pictures (or the ones you take IN the program) into squares with the option of 16 (mostly vintage) filters. You can then share these works of art (*hehe*) with all the social communities you can think of (from Flickr to Facebook or Twitter). I probably will return to high-res Canon Powershot Images as soon as I get it back but it is (indeed) a fun software! Consequently I prepared a little post about a sunny Monday in Leipzig full of little insights, a healthy recipe, some music inspiration and many Instagram pictures!

Enjoy and talk to you tomorrow …

Nach der gestrigen BAckorgie ist eine (für mich) furchtbare Sache passiert: ich hab meine Kamera in der Wohnung meiner Schwester liegenlassen. Natürlich hab ichs erst gemerkt, als ich auf der halben Strecke zwischen Berlin und Leipzig in meiner Tasche einarmig auf der Autobahn kramte und nicht mehr umkehren konnte/wollte. Um das Beste aus dieser Situation zu machen bin ich also heute morgen gleich in den Apple App Store und hab die kleine App 'Instagram' (gratis) gedownloaded. Die Software verwandelt alle Bilder in Quadrate und man kann zwischen 16 (meist Vintage-)Filtern wählen. Diese kleinen Kunstwerke (oder wie ein Verlegerfreund sagen würde "Schnappschüsse" *hehe*) kann man dann mit aller Welt und allen sozialen Netzwerken teilen (also von Flickr über Facebook bis Twitter). Ich werde wohl so schnell mir es möglich ist wieder zu hochauflösenden Canon Powershot-Bildern zurückkehren, aber es ist in der Tat ein lustiger Zeitvertreib. Kein Wunder also, dass Instagram-Bilder in den letzten Monaten fast inflationär in der Bloggosphäre aufgetreten sind! Folglich heute der Post über einen sonnigen Tag in Leipzig voller Einblicke, einem gesunden Rezept, einigen Musiktipps und vielen Instagram-Bildern!

Viel Spaß damit und bis morgen …

Berlin: Music | Typography | Fashion

Berlin always amazes me. It is so close and still you get a fundamentally different feeling and energy from the city! I had both an interesting and inspiring (as well as sickening ;)) little trip to Berlin, where I want to share some lovely links and things with you, which fit in the three categories Music, Typography and Fashion.

Berlin fasziniert mich immer wieder. Eigentlich ist es von Leipzig nur einen Katzensprung entfernt und trotzdem geht von der Stadt eine ganz andere Energie und Gefühl aus! Ich hatte zwei sehr inspirierende und interessante (sowie krankmachende *hihi*) Tage in Berlin und will deshalb einige Ideen und inspirationen mit euch teilen - und zwar in den Kategorien Musik, Typographie und Mode.

Efterklang & Paul Smith – a combination??

Just a few years ago you could have asked me about my musical taste and I probably couldn't have named even one band or singer/songwriter I like. In the last weeks and months many friends however have introduced me to different songs and styles and I quite like to get to know new music. Last weekend I was fortunate to attend one of the private viewings of the film 'An Island', which was produced by Vincent Moon and the band EFTERKLANG. Not only the film was really great to watch, but the concept behind these private viewings is really nice: you can sign up to stage a viewing of this movie (my friend from Hamburg did so) and people can see all the cities it takes place and sign up to attend. You then get the movie sent to you just a week before the date, reminding you to take a picture of the screening. The one I attended was in Hamburg at a lovely hair saloon (called kiitos). Efterklang probably will not become one of my favourite bands (a bit too heavy and a bit too sad), but for now and then it's quite nice.

For me music often relates to different moods, but also times in my life, cities and also fashion.
When listening to some Efterklang songs after the screening, I was just flicking through the newest collection of 'Paul Smith Fall 2011' runway collection and I really liked both of them together :-) It even made more sense when I read that his opening tune was 'Free Money' by Patti Smith (listen to it here).
