The Market at Elisabethplatz

Who knew that cucumbers had such a wonderful scent (or any scent for that matter)? This market isn't that close to my apartment, but the produce is so good (and affordable) and the people who work there are so friendly that I make the trek every Saturday morning.

Spring Arrives at A.P.C.

A.P.C. Homme & Femme (Fashion for Men and Women)

Until I found A.P.C., I never appreciated the meaning of a "collection" in terms of fashion. Now I know. Timeless classics that work with each other from season to season - the French brand portrays a look that has been described as "undone" in that it is clean-cut and simple, but totally modern in design.

That would be enough to go there season after season, but what really makes it one of my favorite places is the special treatment I get whether I'm visiting, shopping, or buying. Everyone there knows my style and I always receive valuable advice. It's almost like having my own stylist.

By the way, just in case you're wondering, A.P.C. stands for "Atelier de Production et de Création". (I had to look that one up).

Tea Anyone?

Munich

Food & Drink

Friesische Teestube

A princely decor

with princess teacups

Clocks without time

Music that chimes

as the aroma of tea

seeps through the air

relaxing the mind

letting you find

a welcome recluse

from the daily juice

of life on the loose.

I've gone by this tearoom a million times without ever knowing it was there until one Thursday when one of my best friends asked, "Do you want to have some tea?"

Cosy Secondhand Store in Munich

Munich
Fashion

Gabin

Designer Secondhand for Women and Men

The mid-sized store is marked by its cosy interior with dark wood and rich, muted colours. The clothes are contemporary, seasonal and chosen with an eye for quality. The amount of women´s clothes outweighs the men´s by a bit. The selection is plentyful, but not stuffed. There are pleasently few accessories and shoes. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly but not overbearing.

In a nutshell:
Great choice of well maintained designer clothes at decent prices in cosy surroundings.
