Great GOOGAMOOGA

WOW, what an awesome weekend! 

Everyone was busy, everyone was gone, but I still wanted to go into the city. Lovely New York. I've found out of this festival: GOOGAMOOGA!

Yay or nay? What do you think of those wedges or sneakers? 

At the beginning I saw them in a few blogs and magazines and I found them kind of ridiculous. 

There is always a new fashion trend and in my opinion you don't always have to follow them, just stick to the ones you like and the ones which fit your style the best. 

However, now I see them on women's feet, in Brooklyn, in the city, just recently on the High Line! And you know what? They CAN look nice and elegant! You just have to know how to pull them off (skinny jeans, black turtleneck sweater, a little bit of jewelry). I think it's the same with women wearing big sneakers like Nikes.

Still, they are pretty pricey, they cost around 300$ and I know they wouldn't fit me well, big shoes like those by Nike or Timberland are too chunky for my body type.

Maybe it is something for you?! :)

'Impossible Conversations'

          

Tonight was the opening gala of the Costume Institute's exhibition 'Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations' at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. The exhibition is on from May 10 to August 19 and I am definitely going to see it in the next few weeks! 

I will tell you how it was then!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art won’t have to stay open till midnight to accommodate crowds for “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations,” this year’s Costume Institute extravaganza, mainly because the show isn’t all that extravagant, certainly not on the order of the Alexander McQueen exhibition last year..

Vietnamese food in Chinatown!

I do miss all these cakes, dumplings and rice dishes. It reminds me of home.

It is very funny though, I live in Germany, but at home we're having vietnamese food.

I wish I could make them, when I'm back, my mum has to teach me how! Vietnamese dessert is soo sweet and sticky, love it! It's not everyone's taste but I grew up with it.

How to describe vietnamese cuisine?

I care.

My last article for the college's student newspaper came out today. I wrote about the Earth Week at my college, its activities and if the college is really 'green'.

At the green festival in NY, we've got a lot of information about going green and how small steps can make a difference. I think that people would like to do something in order to go green but they are just too busy to really think about it. 

Right now I am trying to find a balance between my shopping habits, consumption itself and being green because after I had time to do some research and watching documentaries now I think twice what and where I buy.

Would you like to join me?
