It’s been a little quiet here on the blog, because I have basically been living out of my suitcase for the past 2 weeks. After a weekend spent in Milano, I re-packed my bags for Istanbul last Thursday. We returned Monday night, and yesterday I took off again for an important dinner in Berlin. After…
Even though some of you may have already seen our Travel Diary over on The Daily Dose, I still wanted to share some impressions from my weekend in Milano a week ago. Kathi and I had such a great time and LOVED everything from the top of the Duomo, mozzarella tasting, LOTS of gelato, the…
Even though I haven’t always been a sneaker girl, I’ve recently really grown to like the trend. Possibly because I am getting older and don’t want to waste my time with aching feet any more. For our weekend in Milano, I basically wore my Nikes non-stop. Once you spend a day walking through the city…
What is it about girls and jewels? Not without reason is there a saying that “diamonds are a girl’s best friend”. While I only own a few “real” pieces of jewelry, which were all super special gifts from either my dad or boyfriend, I own a fairly extensive collection of “fashion jewelry”. I like to…
I just got back from Milano last night and am still in love with the amazing time Kathi and I had there this past weekend. Definitely #bestgirlstripever!! We only had about 44 hours in the Italian fashion capital, but we made the most out of it. The main reason for our trip was the Confession…
Kathi and I are currently in Milano to visit the “Confessions of Design” exhibition by 61 Austrian designers, manufacturers and traditional companies as part of Salone Internazionale del Mobile. We are excited about exploring the Italian fashion capital and doing a bit of sight-seeing and pizza-eating! Get ready for a travel diary coming up next…
When we decided to move into our new apartment 2 years ago, we also replaced most of our “student living” furniture (aka IKEA) and made a few investments, including our current bed. Admittedly, it did take a bit of persuasion on Mike’s part, because I simply didn’t get why anyone would spend the price of…
When Mike texted me yesterday, saying he’d make dinner, I didn’t know what to expect. Little did I know that he had an ace up his sleeve and he surprised me with amazing tuna poke. We both love fish, especially when it is served in form of maki, ceviche or sashimi. Tuna poke is a…
The best way to fight the Monday blues? Sequins, of course! I don’t know why, but the second I spot something glittery, I am usually sold. Remember these pants? Well, now I came across the perfect sequin blazer, also on GIRISSIMA. I love how versatile they are too: you could totally wear this ensemble with…
Even though I am not much of a lipstick-kinda-girl, there are some days on which I simply crave a bolder lip in pink or red. It’s been a while since I last wore lipstick (mainly because Mike isn’t a huge fan), but when the new art stick by bobbi brown arrived on Monday, I couldn’t…
