The Advent Weekend

ILLU

SALZBURG: To be in the right place is always a good feeling, so head towards Salzburg on the last Advent weekend before Christmas and enjoy everything you ever imagined about Christmas in one tiny little town in Austria. The castles, the small streets (Gassen) with authentic shops, the Austrian pastry (Cafe Tomaselli) and Tafelspitz (best at Schloss Aigen), the costumes by the traditional manufacture Jahn Markl and of course the beautiful city gardens and parks such as the Mirabell Garten.

If you cannot make it to Salzburg, be a copycat and make a feast at your place wherever you are. All you need is an Austrian cooking and pastry book, a sense of “Schlossdesign” when it comes to your interior and a look at the last Chanel Metiers d’Art Show where Karl Lagerfeld set a perfect stage with Schloss Leopoldskron for Chanel’s Tyrolian-inspired collection.

So get your decorated cookies on the table and celebrate a cosy Sunday in a Tyrolian way.

The buffet at the Chanel Show last week in Salzburg, do not forget a Guglhupf, go on a castle tour around the Salzburger Land and enjoy the good old times, Nussbrot with homemade jams are a great breakfast to enjoy, IRMA’s favorite looks of the Chanel show, Mr. Karl Lagerfeld enjoying himself walking around the halls of Schloss Leopoldskron after his show, The Mirabell Garden covered in snow (not yet), my favorite green Christmas tree cookies which are too beautiful to eat, Schloss Aigen has the best selection of Tafelspitz in town, enjoy a table at the traditional Stube, the dinner hall at Schloss  Leopoldskron, Baiser reminds me of snowflakes which have to be on the table, a cup of coffee with a traditional Strudel is a must at Cafe Tomaselli in the center of the old town, handmade Austrian costumes and buckskin (Hirschleder) wear at Jahn Markl, make an appointment for your personal fitting these clothes will last a lifetime.
