There is always something magical about being surrounded by water. It doesn’t really matter if it is a lake, river or the ocean. Water has a calming effect on me and also creates instant visions of vacation. Pair the endless sea with amazing destinations like Barcelona, Marseilles, St. Tropez, Antibes and Monte Carlo, and you’ll…
The sales around town have been going on for a few days and even weeks now, but a lot of my favorite online shops just added some new sale items and increased the discount. Reason enough to spend a relaxing weekend in Berlin browsing away. While I was at it, I spotted some pieces that…
To me, fashion and travel have always gone well together. I feel like discovering new destinations always has a slight influence on the way I dress. After a week in Ibiza I love everything boho, Marrakech makes me want to wear more colors and the Côte d’Azur had me picking out lots of whites and…
Needless to say, it’s been a bit quiet here on the blog since last week. It has been an incredibly busy week and I feel like the only time I have spent online is to try to catch up on emails some time in the middle of the night. Last Thursday Kathi and I took off…
One of my personal mantras when it comes to investment pieces is the cost-per-wear principle. Spending a months’ worth rent on a bag may seem crazy, but when you only invest into pieces you absolutely adore, the cost-per-wear may end up being lower than that of a more a affordable item.

There are casual breakfasts by the pool, days spent ashore in hotspots…
New Chanel slingback shoes are one way to do Mondays – and all of a sudden Mondays become pretty awesome. After finally deciding to return the floral Gucci bag, I stopped by Chanel on my way to the grocery store after a doctor’s appointment today. Little did I know that the last pair of tweed…
While I would love to pretend that my incredible basketball skills are the reason I ended up on a basketball court to shoot today’s sporty look, I have to admit that I was usually amongst the first to strike out when we played h.o.r.s.e. (= every time you miss the hoop you collect a letter,…
John Frieda and I go way back – back to my mom’s shower circa 15 years ago. Back then, we lived in California and I went to Junior Lifeguards camp during the Summer. I have never minded my brown hair, but all of a sudden I was surrounded by lots of blonde surfer girls with…
In terms of food, Barcelona definitely has a lot to offer. Aside from the obligatory tapas and paella, there are also plenty of stylish supper clubs and some amazing places to brunch. Since we wanted to enjoy the pool at our hotel in the afternoons, we usually ventured out in the morning for some breakfast…
