When it comes to sales, I have definitely gotten lucky quite a few times in the past. It does take some time to click through all the items, but occasionally you’ll find something you’ve had your eye on all season at discounted prices your credit card will love. Net-A-Porter is in sale-mode (the dress I…
When you think of California, you usually think of Los Angeles, San Francisco, the Pacific Ocean, tons of palm trees and gorgeous sunsets. Well, it just so happens that California is one of the most versatile places I know. You can ski on Mammoth Mountain, jump into the ocean in Laguna Beach and you can escape into…
I don’t have a lot of friends from when I was younger that I am still very close with today. That may partly be due to the fact that we moved quite a bit during my childhood. However, I have always been of the opinion that a few really (!!) good friends are worth so…
My best friend is getting married in August. And next to my own wedding one day, this will probably be the most important wedding I will ever be a part of. Aside from helping her plan the big day, getting 12 girls together for a very special bachelorette party and getting to stand by her side…
What do you wear to a rehearsal dinner? Well, considering the fact that there is no such thing as a rehearsal dinner with German weddings, I was pretty much clueless in regards to said question.

Berlin and I, we didn’t always get along. The German capital always felt too cool for me. But then we started to get to know eachother and fell in love. For work, Berlin is a regular on my travel agenda. It was my sister’s home for the past 9 months. And over the past few years…
As you guys have probably guessed from the title of today’s post, it is finally here: The day I fly to L.A.! I have to admit, this vacation (which we planned around one of my high school friends’ wedding) had me a little too excited the past few days and weeks. To the point where…
Lately, I have been really happy. I don’t know how else to put it. It is hard to find the exact reason or words to describe the feeling, but after a very travel-intense month in April with barely any time at home or with Mike (aka my rock), May has been such a welcome change…
One of my favorite aspects of traveling is that the more you explore, the more familiar the world starts to feel. Kathi recently put it into really good words during our trip to Israel with Farina & Riccardo (aka fabulous Ricci): “Before you travel to a certain place, it always feels like such an unknown, far away…
