Lifestyle: 3 Things I'm Looking Forward To This Weekend

Weekend celebrations

Hi ladies, we're blessed with another bank holiday this month. Yeah! I'm so excited for this long weekend. Hope you are too? What are your plans? Well, here are mine.

1. I'm going to use the holiday to get some writing work done. I'm currently working on an application that requires me to hand in a feature, opinion piece and a news snippet by Monday midnight. So far I have my topic 'Identification and Immigration in the UK' all set up and researched. A first draft has been created for the feature but I need some ideas for the opinion piece. The news snippet will be fairly easy as it will only require 2-3 sentences answering the 4-w and 1-h question. This task will keep me busy and creative all weekend long.

2. Tonight is Eurovision! I'm such a nerdy fan, but only since I've moved out from home (OMG it comes to 11 years this year!). As a kid my parents always made me watch it and I hated it. And what have I done ever since I left their nest? I watched it. EVERY year and I love it. Seriously when the show starts and the presenters welcome the audience with the magical words 'Good Evening Europe' it always gives me a massive chill. It's such a wow moment of the year, I can't wait to see the show later. I have to confess though that I'm not very well prepared. Usually I watch the songs and try to learn them so I can sing along during the show. I haven't even got a clue what our song sounds like. All I know is that our German entry is not the first choice as the winner of our selection show (yes, we Germans take any competition bloody serious) dropped out publicly when they've announced him as a winner. So the runner up went instead. Good luck and fingers crossed. 

Sorry in advance for a massive Twitter spamming later, but I'll be tweeting loads during the show.

3. Tomorrow is the official release of Kingsman - The Secret Service in Digital HD* (please read my Kingsmen review). To celebrate the premier you can download the film from itunes and there will be a Twitter party at 6pm. By then hundreds of people across the UK will press play and watch the film simultaneously and chat via Social Media. If you like to join the film party then simply follow @KingsmanUK tweeting along the movie with the hashtag #KingsmanDigitalHD. You can also win prizes such as a BluRay copy of the film. Sooo excited for this.

Fashion: Undressed - A Brief History Of Underwear. My Visit.

Image
The V&A in London is always worth a visit, and after seeing the amazing Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty exhibition and Louis Vuitton’s Series 3 on the Strand last year, I was ready for another fashion related exhibition. Last weekend, a new seasonal exhibition opened at the V&A museum called “Undressed – A brief History of Underwear”. Though I’m not too bothered about lingerie, I was intrigued how the museum and its curators would display and showcase the historic development of undergarments. Tickets were booked in an instant, so I invited my friend Mille from Pass For Fass to come along and join me for a Saturday afternoon in South Kensington. I apologise in advance for the quality of the pictures. Since the V&A prohibits photography and wouldn’t reply to my enquiry to get press pictures for this blog post, my iPhone 6 had to do the job. The Exhibition: What You'll See The exhibition is located in a separate part, right in the heart of the V&A and runs until 201

Film: My Top Three Christmas Movies

Image
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the wonderful films that you can watch all over again to get into the festive mood. Ever since I moved out of my parents home, it is my very own tradition to watch a film on the evening of the 24th December (instead of unwrapping presents) and then celebrate Christmas in the morning of the 25th. Some of the films are mostly anime and cartoon-based as they remind me of my childhood and I feel that these movies bring back that special festive magic which I experienced as a child. I don't really like the modern, hyperactive American movies ala Home Alone ,  Miracle on 34th Street , Santa Claus or Jingle All Away . My ultimate all-time-classic Christmas movies are: 1. Anastasia (1997) In a dramatic night, the entire Russian tsar family Romanov is killed by the evil magician Rasputin. Only grandma Romanov and the youngest daughter Anastasia can survive the attack and flee, but are separated and Anastasia suffers from amnesia. Many years later

Lifestyle: What's In My Handbag?

Image
List and What's In My Handbag posts are my favourite blog reads, because I'm quite nosy and I love to know what other bloggers carry around and use daily. My recent list post on  The 10 Things Why The UK Is Awesome was picked up so well that I've decided to do a handbag post next. I've been dying to do this post for a while now and I finally got around to do it. Hope you'll have fun exploring my Kate Spade shopper and its content. |Practical| 1. TomTom Sat Nav, Car Keys & License, Visconti Leather Wallet When I'm out I barely use public transport (except for London or when I go into Birmingham) and I drive a lot in Britain and Germany. A few years ago I would refuse to use sat navs, simply because I've learnt in driving school, how a good driver prepares and studies a map BEFORE he goes on a trip, which makes it easier to focus on the road and traffic. However, when I did my first massive tour around the UK in 2011, having a sat nav proved to be a massi
