Really a nice online language learing platform I discovered a while ago and which I've been trying out for the last couple of weeks to get started with my Spanish. It's really good to get you started and you can even try your new language skills with natives speakers all around the world. Check it out!

Tomorrow is Half Day Camp Vienna Day ... see for yourself ... so will I #hdcvie

The Amazing Mrs Pritchard (6x58 minute episodes) is a BBC drama series that aired in 2006.

The continuing and lamentable saga of the suicide brothers with - non-lamentable-at-all - Tom Mison.

He has a voice indeed! I am so looking forward to seeing this film ... let's keep fingers crossed that it'll actually find it's way to our theatres over here... so that we'll get to hear The King's Speech

I've just discovered that I went to the very same school as the designer whose work I've been admiring for quite some time: Susanne Bisovsky - the only - tiny - difference being that when she graduated from our school she went out to conquer the big world of fashion with her very own style, whereas I'm still not too sure about what to do and how...

Et voice un article sur elle que j'ai trouvé sur le blog Tapouillon

Et puisque nous parlons de la mode autrichienne, voici la boutique Bows & Bandits.

Viel Spaß mit den österreichischen Trachten

Here's a link to an overview of blog search tools.

Back in October, on my last visit to Edinburgh I had the first glimps at one. Then both my bookdealer in Vienna and a usability expert in Frankfurt gave me one. And now, with Christmas drawing closer, I'm tempted to get me a personalised one.

What I'm talking about? Well, about the smart little business cards by moo. You prefer swapping your personal details via icq, twitter, etc. and still think that exchanging business cards is just so out of date? Well, I guess in that case you haven't yet come across the cute and colourful 2-sided cards made by the London-based printer. You can completely personalise them: your very own pictures - not only one but lots of different ones - on one side and your personal details on the other side. Thanks to there lovely surface finish they feel grand in your hand too.

By the way, you can also play around with the mini cards or get some normal-sized biz cards with a special touch ... I've got to go now 'cos moo has a special holiday offer...

How on earth have I been able to survive without this heavenly scent? It was only in March 2008 that I discovered "Ellenisia" in the kingdom of Penhaligon's. With its head notes of mandarin zest and violet leaf, heart notes of gardenia petals, rose, tuberose and jasmine, and base notes
plum nectar and vanilla this nymph-inspired scent created in 2004 it is highly addictive.

And there is she again. Lisa D - A designer form Graz, based in Berlin coming to Vienna from 4 to 10 May 2009. I just love her designs, patterns and fabrics. But come and see for yourself. She'll be selling her spring 09 collection at the boutique Gegenalltag in Museumsquartier.

In fact, it shouldn't read Brit pop but rather Brit guitar - a bit like the soundtrack of Once. So whoever's now not completely confused by this descriptionn might actually enjoy James Cottriall's autumn gig's in Vienna, Amsterdam and/or the U.K....

The terrible truth is that the girls form jem closed their online boutique! I'd just sent off my second order - I'd only discovered this lovely online shop a couple of month ago - when I discovered that they were about to close. Where will I now buy the latest stuff from http://www.avoca.ie/, Nougat or Byoung?

Jemboutique: I discovered this cute British online shop a while ago when browsing the internet for stuff from the Irish label Avoca which I'd discovered in a tiny boutique in Cheltenham back in November 2006. Jemboutique is very user-friendly online-shop, with various options to search and browse their collection, with a zoom tool with which you can really make out colours and textures of the togs and once you've ordered the parcle containing your new gems is there in no time ... and we're talking about a delivery to the continent there;-) the only tiny downside was that they don't support credit cards from dinersclub and bank transfers are a bit tricky too due to the fact that - obiously - they're based in non-euro UK.
