November recap. November has been another exciting month. Generally speaking all the past months have been amazing. The month started with my long awaited presentation of my master thesis, which went fine. One week later we celebrated my graduation and all my family and friends were there. It was such a special day! To be honest, I thought that I might take a little break right after but the blog kept me immediately super busy. Of course, it’s a lot of fun and I’m happy about it. In the middle of November my mum and I fly to Marrakech for a long weekend. You’ll find all entries here! One more let’s say oriental trip followed at the end of the month and my best friend and I flew to Dubai. All travel posts about it will follow in the new year then. In between I had a couple of appointments here in Munich and I attended a few culinary events.

I’m sorry, that my monthly reviews came so late in the past months. This could definitely be good resolution for the new year!

Monthly favorites BOUGHT


For Dubai I had to shop a little bit and I ordered this dreamy dress on Asos from White Cove Petite. I’ve already shown it to you here on Instagram. On our first day in Dubai we were running through the Dubai Mall in sandals (the malls are so huge in the UAE). Consequently, our feet were so sore in the evening. No wonder that we stormed into the first Nike Outlet we found and I bought a pair of Nike Free 5.0 in knit, which are super pretty. Moreover, I got a Christmas-Version of the Roshe Run. I’d already planned to buy some jewelry at the Gold Souk and got me some cute rings, which you can see here. Mango had this gorgeous sequin top, which I had to take home immediately and I’ve shown you two ways to style it here. Lastly, I bought myself a new pair of boots. I’d seen the great Western Fever Boots from Sarenza around on the web and had to order them. Best decision, because they’re so comfortable!

Monthly favorites READ


Luckily we relaxed a little bit at the pool and beach in Dubai. I’d packed a couple of books but in the end I managed to read only one. I read Überman from Tommy Jaud, which unfortunately is available only in German.

Monhtly favorites SEEN


It feels as if I’ve seen thousands of movies. One very important moment in the history of series was definitely the Launch of the new Gilmore Girls season. I couldn’t wait for months and I wanted to wait after my return from Dubai. In the end, we watched all four episodes in the evening. The week before I watched the whole last season in order to be up-to-date. I really liked the new episodes but I wasn’t a big fan of the ending. Let’s see if they’re filming another sequel. Moreover, on my flight to Dubai the film program wasn’t so bad. I watched:

Monthly favorites PLANNED – TRAVEL


I hadn’t planned longer trips in December. While I was in Bozen yesterday I’ll be on the road to Frankfurt again tomorrow. But that’s probably it for 2016. Let’s see what the new year brings!

#giftbrilliantly. As promised here comes another Christmas post. Last week Fossil invited to a Christmas brunch at the restaurant PLAZA in Munich. They’d invited a colourful mix of influencer. I’m sure you know the brand Fossil and most of you’ll know their beautiful watches. The brand has been undergoing lots of changes in their designs. I still remember that it had already started two years ago when I was invited to . Colorful, cheeky, lots of glitter and funny robots – this stands for the brand right now. Fossil brought us a wonderful selection of their actual collection and I think I have to rewrite my letter to Santa.

Pssst! You can win a lovely jewelry set at the end of this post.

How to style a sequin top – two ways

how to style a sequin top two ways

Two ways. While my blogger colleagues have been diligently publishing Christmas posts since mid November it didn’t get quite Christmasy up here on the blog. The last posts were still all about traveling and I wanted to give you a huge portion of travel inspiration for your future travels. If you haven’t read my Marrakech posts . Moreover, I’ve recently been to Dubai and all my posts will be coming in the new year (you can see a ). However, a couple of Christmas posts can’t be missing up here on The Golden Bun. A little gift inspiration has gone online yesterday and a couple of more surprises will be published within this week.

How to style a sequin top Look 1

Today I’ll show you two ways how to style a sequin top. I fell head over heels with this gorgeous sequin top from Mango. Whenever I buy something new I wear it non stop and combine it to all my favourite pieces. Therefore, I thought that you might love two ways to wear it. I’m always in search of great tops and glitter always attracts my heart. The top’s cut is a little bit shorter, which allows me to wear only high waist pieces. This A line wool skirt matches perfectly. This oversize blazer has become a true classic in my wardrobe and I wear it all year round.

The second look is a little bit cosier. I could spend all winter long in oversized cardigans and I’ve got quite a couple of models hanging in my wardrobe. I must admit that both looks are quite similar in their shades but I love blush combination. As I mentioned the top is a little bit shorter and jeans wise my highwaist jeans match the best. I’m not quite a fan of belly free tops during the winter. My Louboutin pumps add a little bit of elegancy but you can also wear cool sneakers or ballet pumps.

Restaurants in Marrakech | lunch at NOMAD

Nomad. Whenever I see interesting places on Instagram I screenshot them immediately. Of course, I had screenshotted the one or other thing before. However, I didn’t plan much more for our trip to Marrakech. Also, I knew that my mom was traveling with me and she was never unprepared. One thing was high on both of our lists – a lunch at Nomad Restaurant.

Nomad

Nomad is a cute restaurant in the city centre in the middle of the Souks. You’ll get such a nice view over the city from their terraces. Not to mention that the whole location was so instagrammable. As soon as we got there, we were lucky to get a table on one of their terraces. The restaurant inside was empty but was so packed when we left. There are two terraces and we got a place on the middle one. In my opinion, the view from the middle terrace is even better as from the upper one.

Since we had an extended breakfast in the morning at AnaYela we weren’t so hungry. Therefore, we only went for some light starters – a delicious Pastilla and the Mezze Plate (both 70 MAD – 6,5€). Along with a delicious smoothie (25 MAD – 2,5€) I was one happy person. The main dishes also looked very tasty!

One thing has never occurred to me in my whole foodblogger career. At Nomad the restaurant owner came to us and asked if I was a blogger. We were chatting for a bit and he said that he was happy to read about his restaurant on my blog. At the end we got a little blogger discount, which was a nice gesture.

I hope you liked this restaurant recommendation and I wish you a wonderful day!

#feelwelcome | Mercure Weinlese – selected wines and a visit at star vintner Markus Schneider

Mercure Weinlese _ Accor Hotels _ Markus Schneider _ The Golden Bun

– this post is only available in German

DE
Mercure Weinlese. Ich trinke sehr gerne Wein und gehöre zu den wenigen Prozenten an Frauen, die auch gerne Rotwein trinken. In den letzten Jahren durfte ich an vielen großartigen Wein-Events teilnehmen, wo ich auch eine Menge gelernt habe. Doch man lernt natürlich nie aus und es gibt so viele tolle Weinregionen, die mir bisher auch völlig unbekannt waren. Mercure Weinlese Blogger Event in Mannheim hörte sich da natürlich großartig an und ich freute mich schon sehr darauf. Leider hat es mich am Vortag ziemlich erwischt und habe meinen gesundheitlichen Zustand etwas unterschätzt. Ich bin sonst wirklich nie krank. Aber kurzfristig absagen ist nicht meine Art und ich war schon so gespannt auf den Besuch des Weinguts von Starwinzer Markus Schneider.

Mercure Weinlese #feelwelcome

Nach einer kurzen, schlafreichen Zugfahrt wurden wir herzlich im Mercure Hotel Mannheim am Rathaus begrüßt. Vor dem Abendprogramm der Mercure Weinlese konnte ich nochmals einen kleinen Powernap einlegen. Leider verschlimmerte sich meine Lage nur und ich wusste, ich würde nicht viel vom Abend haben. Langsam trudelten auch die anderen Blogger ein und ein paar Bekannte Gesichter sah ich schon und freute mich auch den Rest kennenzulernen, als auch das nette Team von Mercure und den Accor Hotels.

Mit dabei waren dieses Mal Chris (), Katharina (), Jessi (), Klara (), Brini () und Sylvi () dabei.

Mercure Weinlese RELAX – Food, Drinks & YOU

Der Abend im Mercure Hotel Mannheim am Rathaus wurde im neuen Restaurant-Konzept RELAX – Food, Drinks & You begonnen. Das Menu sah wirklich sehr lecker aus:

  • Cold Cuts mit aufgeschnittenen Leckereien dazu Hummus, Mammut Oliven und Weizenbrot
  • Kokos-Kaffirlimettensuppe
  • Barbecueburger mit Steakhouse-Pommes
  • Argentinisches Rumpsteak 2016 vom Black Angus Beef
  • Lachsfilet gebraten mit Frühlingslauch an Kirschtomatengemüse

Wer mich kennt, weiß, dass ich IMMER den Burger wähle, aber leider lies dies mein gesundheitlicher Zustand nicht mehr zu. Ich durfte noch die Kokos-Kaffirlimettensuppe probieren und dann ging es für mich schon wieder auf mein Zimmer. Der Abend wurde im Anschluss noch feucht und fröhlich.

Bei so viel gutem Wein, sei dies auch genehmigt. Die Mercure Weinlese – Auswahl beinhaltete für die Vorspeisen ein 2015 Grauer Burgunder und ein 2015 Krebs Weiss Riesling & Gewürztraminer. Die Hauptspeisen wurden von 2015 Schwedhelm Riesling, 2015 Haus Klosterberg Rosé Pinot Noir, 2014 Edition Cuvée MVI oder etwa einen 2012 Spätburgunder Tradition VDP.Gutswein Bio begleitet.

i.Z.m. Markus Schneider der Mercure Cuvée Edition MVI

Besonders der neue Mercure Cuvée Edition MVI war eines der Highlights, denn er wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Starwinzer Markus Schneider kreiert, den wir am folge Tag besuchten. Den Wein findet ihr Deutschlands weit auf allen Mercure Weinkarten. Daher auch der Name Mercure Weinlese also!

Mercure Weinlese Besuch bei Markus Schneider

Am nächsten Tag ging es lustig, munter auch schon weiter nach Ellerstadt zum Weingut von Markus Schneider. Was erwartet man sich bloß bei einem Starwinzer? Einige Allüren hat so ein Mann bestimmt. Umso erstaunter waren wir über den wohl bodenständigsten Menschen der Welt. Markus Schneider saß uns fröhlich bei der Weinverkostung gegenüber und erzählte eine Anekdote nach der anderen.

Sein berühmter Rotwein Kaitui bekam schon Obama und Starköche, wie Tim Raue lieben seine Weine. Ich sags euch, der Besuch war nicht nur wegen der Weine interessant, sondern auch für die Architektur. So viel Liebe fürs Detail habe ich noch nie in einem Weingut gesehen. Im Anschluss ging es wieder zurück ins Mercure Hotel Mannheim am Rathaus. Bei einem gemeinsamen Mittagessen ließen wir das Mercure Weinlese Blogger Event noch einmal Revue passieren. Am Bahnhof trennten sich dann alle Wege.

Ich hoffe euch hat der Artikel gefallen und ich wünsche euch noch einen schönen Tag!
