Loewe’s limited edition linen set is a dream. Add that to my checklist for dream house.

Post Malone as a person is really hard to not like. Seriously, what a great and easy going guy. AND he happens to be from the Dallas area 😉 Vice’s Noisey made a great short on him.

This organisation is bringing people together with food. The New York Times wrote a pice about it, scroll down to the title: Food Matters: A Seat at the Table

Bureau Betak’s blog is having a moment, displaying their top pictures from the work they did for Paris Fashion Week.

I’m personally not into anime, but Ezra Koenig’s Neo Yokio is fkin’ perfect. I’m obsessed with it! And I’m sick of reading reviews that trash it. So much so, I called Netflix’s customer service line just to say, “hey guys, please make more of this!” The woman on the other end was all about it, too.

The documenta 14 budgetary drama continues to unfold, and becoming even more scandalous.

Their website doesn’t do it justice, but this quaint Italian restaurant at Münchner Freiheit in Munich was such a delight last night. Trattoria Donna Maria probably couldn’t sit more than 50 people, has a limited daily menu, and best of all, everything is cooked by an Italian mother. The kitchen has a door that swings open when food gets delivered, and you see a dolled-up Italian woman wearing 60’s-style drop earrings stirring the sauce.

When living in Europe you meet so many people from so many different backgrounds. Some of my closest confidants here in Germany happen to be from France.

I studied French for 6 years in school and was even a French tutor in college, but this is one part of the culture one cannot learn without having experiencing it herself.

The morning after a sleepover at a friend’s house, I observed my French friend eating her breakfast and was overwhelmed with amusement. She actually took her buttery, fresh-baked croissant and drowned it in her coffee! I immediately asked her, “uhhh, what are you doing?” Equally confused, she stared back and replied, “eating…”

After an exchange of blank stares and subsequent giggling, the mystery was clarified. This was not pastry abuse but actually the way all French eat their croissants!

Now I’m not one to mix anything into my coffee except for the occasional drop or two of whole milk. However, if a French woman says try it, she will not let you go until you do what she says.

I skeptically dipped my perfectly okay croissant into the coffee and proceeded to taste the soggy pastry. Only once it reached my tongue did I realize this was the most delicious combination I had never tried. I’ve been missing out on so much!

And so are you- so here’s how you eat a croissant like a proper Parisienne:
