BITS & PIECES: coming home.

It has been unusually quiet here on the blog this week. That’s because I feel like I have been everywhere, just not home or at my laptop. The past few weeks have involved so much traveling, and while it is totally a passion of mine to travel as much as possible and discover new places, I feel like I need to take a second to breath. To take a break. Obviously, there is a difference between spending a week in Miami with my boyfriend and traveling to various press days or speaking at conferences. Still, I love my job and wouldn’t change a thing. But if there is one thing I have learned over the years, it is to know my own boundaries. Coming home this past Thursday felt so good, especially knowing that I would have a real weekend in Vienna and even a public holiday next week to stay home and catch up on some sleep. Just these past two weeks, I have been to Iceland, Salzburg, Munich twice, Frankfurt and held a workshop here in Vienna in between those trips. I am definitely racking up the frequent traveller miles, but I think it is time to stock up on some energy at home instead.
Kathi and I talked about the pros and cons of self-employment over on The Daily Dose earlier this week, and I think it is important to share these thoughts with you guys every once in a while. From the outside, our jobs definitely sound like a dream come true, and that’s definitely what it is to us. But at the end of the day, dreams only work if you do, and sometimes, just sometimes I kind of wish it would require a tiny bit less work. An inbox that stays at work and doesn’t come home with me. A person to cover for me when I am gone on vacation or traveling for business. And less time spent alone at airports. That’s why I am so happy to be home for a while, binging on Mr. Robot and ordering take-out. Oh, and possibly organizing the mess I currently call closet.

  • Why We Sleep

    Generally speaking, hotel beds are pure bliss. Am I right? Especially the ones at the Shangri-La in Vancouver (but more on that in the next post). However, after traveling for almost three weeks nonstop, this weekend at home (in our own bed) has been amongst the most anticipated highlights on my agenda. Right after my…

  • OUTFIT: the last of 2013

    This year, I decided to skip the yearly recap I usually do around New Years (see last year’s HERE) because I simply feel overwhelmed with twenty-thirteen and honestly wouldn’t even know where to start. There is our trip to Dubai & the Maldives, the launch of The Daily Dose, amazing collaborations with Louis Vuitton and Tiffany…

    The reality check of 2018 has come along a bit sooner than anticipated. Usually, December is crazy busy and then January follows on a much more quite note. Not this year.

  2. Sehr schöner Post! Finde es toll dass du auch mal etwas über die “Schattenseiten” schreibst. Ich kann mir vorstellen das besonders reisen total anstrengend sein kann..so schön es auch ist. Aber verbunden mit Wartezeiten,Zeiverschiebung etc ist es bestimmt nicht ohne.. <3

  3. Ohhh wow, toller Post! Die Photos vom Fashion Camp sind richtig toll geworden und der Camp natürlich auch!!! Ohh ja, du solltest dir auf jeden Fall etwas Zeit nehmen für dich, das ist ganz wichtig und dann kommst du auch wieder zu uns mit voller Power und tollen Ideen und Motivation! Das Essen sieht übrigens auch super aus, das Frühstück im Motto ist immer himmlisch und das Avobrot sieht auch geil aus, esse übrigens gerade eines!
    Mit liebsten Grüßen

  4. Hi Vicky, toller Post. Auf meiner Review über das FCVIE habe ich genau das geschrieben, dass niemand etwas geschenkt bekommt und dass hinter all dem wirklich sehr viel und harte Arbeit steckt. Ich wünsche dir ein wunderschönes und v.a. erholsames Wochenende in Wien. Genieß es. Liebe Grüße Jen

  5. Nach außen hin sieht dieser Lifestyle natürlich sehr glamourös und schillernd aus, aber leider wird oft vergessen wie viel Arbeit dahinter steckt. Zwischendurch braucht man einfach ein bisschen Me-Time und das ist völlig legitim. Erhol dich gut, liebe Grüße,
    Sarah
