Dublin, Baby! (part 2)

After being lazy about posting the rest of the pictures taken during my trip to Dublin last summer, I finally find time to edit and upload the second part of them :-) We were just walking down and up in the city with my sweetheart, and these were all the impressions I've collected. ;-)

Forbes and Fashion

What does Forbes has to do with fashion? Well, that's pretty easy: every year Forbes announces the list of the 100 richest people in the world, who are the most powerful when it comes to money and success. And this list of 100 contains also some fashion moguls you are sure aware of, but haven't recognized on the list before. As I now study economics and that I love fashion, that's the perfect mixture. So here are the ones from Forbes, you should know ;-)

papaa B's new url :)

After long time no post again, and after couple of hours to do it or not, I decided to change the name of the blog. First I wanted to create a new one, where I could share all my passion for fashion and beauty, but in the meantime it would be stupid to manage two blogs at the same time. At second I hated it, that when you search for "papaa Bento" in google, you only find articles with the last pope, but nothing with papaa bento. Hopefully this changes after the name change :-)
And what changes too? The colors will be more a mixture of pink and green, and I might try to focus more on fashion stuff, don't know if it will be good or bad, but that's it - no additional changes planned for the future! :-)
Stay tuned!

The new URL to the site:

Little green monster on INSTAGRAM

Sorry for long time no lifesign, but I've been busy with exams, traveling and christmas :) There is still one and a half week to go to finish my exam period and my application for university, but I hope to be back sooner than that :)

One news is, that I have installed instagram on my tablet, since it does not work on my Blackberry. I probably stop posting now photos from my Blackberry and start sharing ones from instagram. At the moment I think it would be more fun, so there you go :)

home is where your heart is

I would not admit it - but I guess, I am in love with Berlin. I know, I know - it took a lot of time, but better late than never. Last time I've been there was only about two weeks ago, and I'm heading back next weekend :-) So brace yourself, the Berlin posts are coming! muahaha :-) :-)

But before that, I have to admit another thing: WINDOWSWEAR had such an inspiring influence on me, that you may find a couple of shopwindow photos here in the future. Hope, they expand their project to other European cities - like Berlin perhaps ;-)

where to follow the little green monster?

As pappa B just begun to use online platforms in his spare time, he registered to several more social, but less communicative sites all over the world wide web. So the number of pages grew, while the little green monster got more and more confused. Finally, here is a list where you can follow pappa B - first would be this blog, yay? ;-)

First to mention would be definitely FACEBOOK. Pappa B joined that page right after going online with this blog. Probably only a platform to make propaganda for this blog, but it will get more cosy and informative when it grows bigger :-) But it's fun to share things that rapid!

The Little Black Jacket / Berlin

Actually, I hadn't planned to fly to Berlin again, but destiny wanted me to go - and it was also my destiny, that the LITTLE BLACK JACKET EXHIBITION by KARL LAGERFELD also opened at that time, so it was out of question to visit it! I visited it twice, first with a lovely friend, and the second time with my dad and boyfriend who turned out to be the greatest frustrators of all time. They complained the whole time about "WHAT? This exhibition is only about one little black jacket? Are you kidding that we will look photos with people wearing the same jacket in each photograph?" Yes, I'm damn sure about that. The exhibition - as it name suggests - is about Chanel's famous little black jacket which might be after that only really enjoyable for fashionistas. 

The entry to the exhibition is free and each visitor gets a little present :-) 

(search for the exhibition at the subway station U2 at Potsdamer Platz)

my new love: windowswear.com

Only seconds ago I discovered my newest favourite fashionpage, and couldn't resist to show and share it with you! The concept is simple, but truly magnificent! It's all over with the most stunning and spectacular windows of stores from four different cities (New York, Milan, London, Paris). It's super easy to search the database, has been released only a few days ago - and the perfect timeout for fashionistas on the net! 

Just watch it and be amazed as I am at the moment :-) 

WINDOWSWEAR.COM

A short youtube video about the idea itself (before it has launched).

You can find also an article on ELLE.COM about this project.

Dublin, baby! (day 1 & 2)

Finally, after a couple of months I had enough time to sort out and upload a few pictures from my trip to Dublin in August. Sadly, papaa Bento wasn't able to come with me, thanks to Ryanair who would have charged an extra fee for the little green monster. But instead of talking a lot again, enjoy the pictures - I may upload the rest next week ;-)

blackberry 2.0

Because of the fantastic amount of exams I am going to have during November - and yeaah, it is Monday again! - I am only able to prepare a short post filled with pictures made with my BB. And what's up with papaa Bento? Well, he's sleeping, as he does the whole time when I study ;-) 

Powerscourt Gardens

As promised before, here they are: pictures from the amazing Powerscourt Gardens in Ireland. I've been there with my boyfriend during my visit in august. Some trees in the garden have ten times bigger leaves than my hand, and you can also taste milk chocolate witch pistachio and rose, but I would not write or tell you a lot before; just look at the pictures, and if you are lucky enough to spend some time in Ireland or in the area of Dublin, visit it!!!

blackberry 1.0

Finally, I didn't had to work today - but it was surely one of my most boring monday's. So I ended up looking at old photos. Here are a couple from the last year, taken with my phone. :-)

the little green monster's playlist

As pappa B created a booklist before, he now wanted to let you know what he is listening to. It might be quite a mix up of all different genres. Almost mainstream.

Budapest. Budapest

First of all, sorry for the long break, but papaa B and I had a lot to do in the past weeks. But we can promise, we will give our best to show you all the cities and bars and and and we have been - from Dublin to Berlin, vom Passau to Vienna. And of course BUDAPEST!

random 1.0

Just some random pics of the past days. 

blablabla

My mum said pappa B's blog is stupid - mainly because my Hungarian is not that good. So less text, more pictures ;) 

can't stop listening to Wankelmut - One day

   crushed ice - fresh watermelon & ginger - orange juice

sushisushisushi (berlin day 3 & 4 & ...)

After the first two days we spent with eating, eating and eating the whole time - we decided with pappa B to do the same in the next few days we are staying in Berlin. So on Sunday we started the day with eating, then with drinking a bottle Riesling at Tucholsky Straße with a friend at a bar which is called Bar (it was called Bar, but now it has a name - I am not able to remember that, so we still call it the bar called Bar). That was followed by the first round sushi for this week at TTP. If you love Sushi as much as pappa B and I do, you have to go to Ishin or TTP here in Berlin! It is cheap, and their fish is always fresh :) 

The other days we spent eating again, but this time Sushi at TTP, and some fried champignons and Cordon Blue at a typical German Pub near to the Tiergarten. 

back in da hood (berlinberlin day 1 & 2)

After pappa B's very last visit to Berlin in June he has been so exiting about coming back to town, I just couldn't stop him - so the little green monster hid in my suitcase until we crossed the German border with the train, where he got out of my bag and started smiling with no reason. Well, I was able to do anything but to smile - we had a delay about three hours, which is a very long term if you consider that the whole journey by train is about 13 hours. So I would have been one the happiest people on Earth without that plus three hours on train. Without air conditioner at the beginning of the trip in Hungary (35 degrees in the shade!!!), then when we managed to turn it on I felt like Sid from Ice Age - but in the wrong movie. 

We are doing nothing special since we have arrived. Eating, sleeping, drinking, shopping, eating, chilling, eating of course :)

Pappa B legutolsó berlini látogatása óta annyira izgatott volt, hogy végre visszatérhessen, hogy egyszerűen képtelen voltam féken tartani - így a kis zöld szörny bebújt a böröndömbe, és a német határ átlépése után kijött belőle. Onnantól kezdve ok nélkül mosolygott végig - bár nekem mindenre volt okom, csak mosolygásra nem - majdnem három órás késése volt a vonatunknak, ami eléggé hosszú idő ha azt is figyelembe vesszük, hogy az egész út alapból is már 13 órás. Így a világkerekség egyik legboldogabb embere lettem volna a három óra plusz vonatozás nélkül. Légkondicionáló nélkül indult a vonat Magyarországról (ahol 35°C volt az árnyékban!!!), majd sikerült beindíttatnunk a légkondicionálót, amiután úgy éreztem magam mint Sid az Ice Age-ben - csupán rossz filmben.

Mióta megérkeztünk nem csinálunk semmi különőset. Eszünk, alszunk, iszunk, vásárolunk, eszünk, pihenünk, és természetesen eszünk :) 

self portrait

After all the almost famous and the very famous real artists and self-declared artists, pappa B decided to do it like the great ones and made some self portraits of himself. We have to admit, that in most pictures he needed a little help because of his cute tiny arms - but there are as well photos he took on his own! So let the art lecture with the great ones begin (each linked to the sites where we found them)!

A sok kevésbé híres és nagyon ismert igazi és majdnem igazi művész után pappa B is úgy döntött, hogy követi a nagyok példáját és néhány önportrét készített magáról. Be kell vallanunk, néhány képnél segítenem kellett neki a kis rövid cukker kezecskéi miatt - de vannak a képek közt olyanok is, amiket saját maga készített! Akkor kezdjük el a nagyszerű alkotásokkal is átszőtt művészeti órát! (az összes kép az eredeti honlapjukhoz vezet)

black cow monday

like pappa B also on facebook :) (click here)

As pappa B told you in the post before it was raining almost the whole day today - yeah it's monday! - so we were staying in the house the whole day and tried a couple of things, like Black Cow! Yeah, right. It's called black cow and it is coke with vanilla ice. The cookbook (!) says it is a typical American drink - I think they just wanted to fill the place with a simple and cheap drink. Because the only thing you have to do to prepare a Black cow is to fill the coke into a glass, and then put vanilla ice on the top of it - et voilà, BLACK COW!
