It’s that (dreaded) time of the year again. The time when even I have to come to terms with the fact that bare ankles will no longer do outside the comfort of our heated apartment. With temperatures dropping below freezing over night and a few snow days already, it is time to gear up on…
Here’s the deal: While I preach about all these alternatives to wearing black during Winter and am constantly looking for lighter colors to keep me warm, fact is that nothing is quite as easy (and timeless) like an all black ensemble. But how do you take a somber monochrome look from bland to grand? With…
If there is ever an appropriate time to wear sequins, this is it. “This” being the last days of the year. While it does not take a whole lot of convincing to get me to put on a little something sparkling, I do realize that sequins may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Or better…
A tone-in-tone color scheme is my personal way out of a rushed morning with “nothing to wear”. It works in all sorts of directions. Go with all black for a darker look that can easily be dressed up (a la “just add heels and red lips”) or with hues of beige or camel with golden…
The fact that a camel coat ranks at the very top of the Fall must-have list is old news. And by now, you have probably come across countless outfits, pictures and posts about said key piece for the colder season. However, the hunt for the perfect coat is (almost) never an easy one. It took…
In the middle of that strangely comforting, yet utterly difficult to pinpoint season somewhere between warm Summer days and a cold Winter approaching (no sign yet, even on the last day of October), I find it more and more difficult to dress in the mornings. Summer dresses are no longer weather-appropriate, while a warm jacket…
I don’t believe that there are many rules to dressing “right” and think everyone is entitled to wear whatever they feel most comfortable in. However, you will rarely find me leaving the house in sweats and sneakers. Workout wear is a different story, but actual sweats, the type you wear to binge-watch your favorite show…
Linen never needed much of a revival. It has always been a major summer staple but has appeared more and more on my personal watchlist in recent times – mostly in form of jumpsuits (seen here and here). What used to be a hippie favorite, has been elevated to resort wear with a more refined…
Turns out, I took an unintended leave of absence these past two weeks. In all honesty, I cannot recall the last time I blogged so little. It was not planned and not due to a lack of content. It just happened. I usually don’t blog less when on vacation, but considering the 3.000+ kilometres we…
Typically, you wouldn’t think of Vienna, or Austria for that matter, as a place where 30°C on the thermometer are no rare sight during summer. Even though our winters get cold, our summers get hot. Really hot. And this year, it seems that there is an everlasting heatwave that burnt right through August. However, I…
