Fashion | "It's in the sky" documentary

For the Dutchies: a super interesting documentary by Sara Domogala about the current trends in feminine fashion in respect to the lifestyle of young, ambitious, multi-tasking women. Interesting, believable story. Beautiful fashion, powerful women and nice shots. Watch this!

Food | Warming carrot soup

As the leaves are falling down, rain is pouring all the time and temperature has dropped significantly my body screams for warm food. Last year I discovered how easy it is to make thick, healthy vegetable soups myself. This carrot soup only has four ingredients and will take about half an hour to prepare. 

2 cm ginger (chopped)

1 onion (chopped)

1 cube of vegetable stock

400 g carrots (coursely chopped)

Fry the onion among with some olive oil. After two minutes add the ginger and the carrots. After frying it for some minutes add the stock cube and enough water to boil the carrots in. Now let it boil for at least 20 minutes. As soon as the carrots get soft they can be blended. Add water to adjust the soup's thickness if you like. 

After you poured the soup in some bowls it is ready to be enjoyed. This warm autumn soup can nicely be combined with toasted spelt bread and some soft goat cheese...

Fashion | New in: heeled ankle boots

My first real post is about the (at this moment) most perfect ankle boots I could found for my budget. I completely fell for their simplistic and nicely finished appearance. Decent and sturdy at the same time. The perfect heel shape and height for daily use. Their sides remind me a bit of the chelsea boots you see a lot in the streets these days. These boots, I bought them at Cinderella, are made of smooth, soft, matte looking leather. In my view they have a timeless appearance and therefore are a nice addition to my shoe wardrobe. 

Hi!

Welcome to my blog! While you're surfing here I'm probably on my quest for nicely designed products, simplistic but stylish fashion and delicious but pure (and mostly healthy) food. That's basically what Concrete, Wool and Chocolate is about... Enjoy!
