Bonjour !
I already got a few questions on ask.fm/KatharinaDorothea and I'm going to answer them now :

Q#1: Do you believe in happy ending ?  

Well, difficult question ! I don't believe in happy ending if you just sit in your armchair and wait for better times. Most of the time you have to fight for a happy ending.
You also have to be confident that everything will get better then you might get a HAPPY ENDING !

Q#2: Favourite movie ?

Hard to say - I can't mention just one - there are so many ! For example : Twilight, Jane Austen filmings, Titanic,...

Q#3: How tall are you?

WHY ???? Ok, I'm 1,68 m tall.

Q#4: Do you think that money can buy love ?

No, I don't think so. Real love doesn't need money for a help. Some may think they can buy love but do they really think that the ones they bought it from really love them ? No one can be so blind to think so ! Sure, it's a positive aspect if the man/woman has the ability to offer you something but no, MONEY CAN'T BUY LOVE !

Q#5: What famous person would you like to meet ?

There are so much persons that I'd like to meet !

• Robert Pattinson : He's such an interesting person and I'd like to get to know him ! He's a Hottie !
• Eddie Redmayne: He's beautiful - I'd just stare at him !
• Kate Middleton: She's one of my role models ! I love the way she talks, her style and her charisma ! She just inspires me !
• Natasha Khan: She's the lead singer of my favourite band 'Bat for Lashes' - I love her and her music since 3 years now and I'd do everything to meet her someday !
• Florence Welch: The lead singer of 'Florence and the Machine' is an amazing person! I'd like to ask her some things about her style ! 
• Jane Austen: If I could make a journey to the past I'd ask her about her books and I would get to know the lifestyle of her period. 
• Coco Chanel: Do I have to say anything ? 

Q#6: Do you prefer to eat at a restaurant or at home ?

I love to eat at home ! But for sure , it's great to eat at a restaurant sometimes !

As I surfed the internet I found some horrible pictures - as always !

There are some things I can't stand - fashion NO-GO's

NO-GO#1 : There's one thing you have to know about me : I HATE ALL THAT PINK-LEOPARD-GLITTER-PRINCESS STUFF !!! I HATE HATE HATE IT ! 

What's beautiful about them ? They're         horrible ! 

NO-GO#2 : Crowns for adults/teenager

Why do some call themselves a 'PRINCESS' when they're older than 14 ? I used to wear diadems when I was 8 but some apparently never grow up.

NO-GO#3 : Piercings

How can anyone find this beautiful ? It looks terrible ! 

Can't she just have one or two ? Imagine if she grows up and doesn't like them anymore ? She'll have ugly scars everywhere in her face ? #cantunderstand

Enough of NO-GO's for today !

Lyrics of the Day: Lykke Li - I Follow Rivers

Oh I beg you, can I follow
Oh I ask you why not always
Be the ocean where unravel
Be my only, be the water and I'm wading
You're my river running high, run deep run wild
I I follow, I follow you deep sea baby
I follow you

KEEP CALM AND DRINK TEA !

Bisous, Katharina Dorothea

Lyrics of the Day : Depeche Mode - Precious

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to you
We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through
Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give


KEEP CALM AND WATCH GOSSIP GIRL !

Bisous, Katharina Dorothea 

Very british !

Bonjour !

First post since a few days and I'm back from Germany !
I spent a nice week there but now it's time to post again.
While reading the German magazine 'Joy' in the train back to Austria I noticed a few sites with Brit-Chic photos. It really inspired me and I thought : 'Why don't you write about Brit-Chic' ? So here you are:

Lyrics of the Day :   Stranglers - Golden Brown 

Golden brown texture like sunLays me down with my mind she runsThroughout the nightNo need to fightNever a frown with golden brownEvery time just like the lastOn her ship tied to the mastTo distant landsTakes both my handsNever a frown with golden brownGolden brown finer temptressThrough the ages she's heading westFrom far awayStays for a dayNever a frown with golden brown
Picture of the Day :  'Miss-NO1-Englishwoman' Duchess Catherine

KEEP CALM AND LISTEN TO BAT FOR LASHES !

(Re)naissance

Bonjour !

After my self-confidence - blog yesterday , it's time to write about fashion.


I love the lastest collection 'Versailles' - the idea of mixing the classic Chanel-flair with the baroque period of Ludwig XIV is great ! (The fashion-show even took place in Versailles)

The spring 2010 collection reminds me of elves in forests . (My sister would love it)

But enough of Chanel (for a start)

Marc Jacobs' shoes are also Ludwig XIV-like (Autumn-Winter 2012/13)

Seems to be a popular theme for the upcoming season

Sorry, it's not going to be a very long post today because I'm busy with packing my suitcase for my trip to Germany ! 

Picture of the Day: Florence Welch for Vogue America September 2012 (also a little bit 18th century)

Lyrics of the Day: Sleeping at Last - Turning Page

I’ve waited a hundred years
But I’d wait a million more for you
Nothing prepared me for
What the privilege of being yours would do
If I had only felt the warmth within your touch
If I had only seen how you smile when you blush
Or how you curl your lip when you concentrate enough
Well I would have known
What I was living for all along
What I’ve been living for
Your love is my turning page
Where only the sweetest words remain

KEEP CALM AND READ MY BLOG 

Bisous , Katharina Dorothea
