When I was younger – growing up in Southern California – driving up to L.A. was always a highlight. It was usually connected with some sort of weekend activities and my parents would take the time to drive through Beverly Hills with us kids to go “house hunting”. From my memories, I always loved driving…
Vienna is famous for it’s many traditional balls. While the peak of the ball season is usually January and February with the world-known Opera Ball, June also has something amazing to offer when it comes to Vienna’s ball culture: The Fête Imperiale. A stunning summer ball that let’s you experience the cities tradition in a…
Packing for a 2-week long trip is never an easy task, especially if different climates and occasions await. As you guys know, we attended a wedding in California (which was the main reason for the trip), and the festivities also involved a rehearsal dinner. Meaning: My suitcase was filled with more dressy outfits than it…
It has been awfully quiet here on the blog this past week – but with good reason. Those that follow along on Instagram have probably seen that I spent the past 5 days in Ibiza with a big group of girls (+1 boy) to celebrate Kathi’s bachelorette. It was the trip of a lifetime and…

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. Last weekend, one of my best friends since age 13 had her wedding in Temecula (Southern California) and in the process…
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…
For the past few weeks, it seems that I have been living in bleached denim and simple white or black shirts. I just haven’t felt very creative when it comes to getting dressed in the morning and have been craving a certain simplicity. While reaching for the same white shirt again today in the morning,…
