  • Plans for the weekend

    Hey Friday, you look mighty fine today! There are plenty of reasons to get excited about Fridays, but today our flight to Ibiza is reason N°1 on my list. On the quiet, Mike turned 30 this week. And while we kept things super laid-back on the actual birthday with a lunch that involved just the…

  • From Milano, with love…

    M ilan in September is nothing short of beautiful –  even despite the massive amount of people in the city enjoying the last bits of the Italian Summer. Even though Fashion Week can be stressful and hectic, I always manage to squeeze in a quick break to walk through the stunning Galleria Vittoria Emanuele II…

  • Is Stress A New Status Symbol?

    When did it become cool to be stressed all the time? When did stress develop from something that we tried to avoid at all costs to something that defines success and status? While I would consider myself a very non-judgemental person, I recently found myself being just that. Judgemental. I was at the office on…

  • Italy Roadtrip

    Over the years, it has probably become apparent to most of you that family is everything to me. During my childhood, we moved around a lot. Not just to the next little village or a different city, but to different countries. I was born in Germany, spent my teenage years in California, finished school in…

  • A New Season

    September has brought along Fall sooner than expected. And my new site design has taken a bit longer than expected. As much as you can plan ahead, there are certain things you simply can’t rush – or slow down (would love to keep Summer around a bit longer). a new season & a new Bikinis…

  • check it out

    In my head, September always belongs to Summer rather than Autumn. None-the-less, it is a month of transition. The days become shorter again and the nights cooler. Even on the sunniest days, you can feel a hint of Fall in the air. As much as I adore Summer, there is something really exciting about the…

  • ASOS Beauty

    When it comes to my skin, Summer is definitely my favorite time of the year. My freckles are more visible, the days of dry heating air are long gone and my skin feels a lot more comfortable. Which is also why Summer is the time of the year that I wear the least amount of…

  • work + travel.

    As much as I love the freedom of being my own boss and the option of working from home when I feel like it, I also know that I require certain parameters in order to be productive. One of the main reasons we decided to get an office 3 years ago was to have a…

  • elegant pajamas

    I am guessing that half the people who saw me wear this look a while ago probably thought I stumbled out of bed and forgot to take my pajamas off. Even though that is not the case, I have to admit that the comfort level of this outfit was pretty close the that of actual…

  • The City Escape – Vol. 2

    Living in a city like Vienna is my personal dream. I love everything a city has to offer on a daily basis. I love the convenience of having everything in close proximity. I love the restaurants and delivery options. I love the hustle and bustle on the street when I step outside our apartment. However,…
