Let me tell you one thing: Nesting is an actual thing when you are expecting a child. All of a sudden I am finding myself purchasing items to help organize the kitchen drawers (who knew you could color-coordinate tea bags?)… and it just happens to be the perfect excuse to organize and re-decorate every last…
It seems like a lifetime ago that I claimed to “not be a dress girl”. Now, with Summer in full force and temperatures climbing above 30°C, I cannot imagine a life without a closet full of light and airy dresses. While I would love to spend all Summer living by the beach, toes in sand…
Let’s face it, our motivation to get dressed in the morning has seen better days than in 2020. After weeks of lockdown and self-quarantine, chances are we have gotten a little too used to wearing sweats 24/7. Even though I am guilty of rocking my yoga tights long after the workout has ended, I am…
A small outdoor space does not necessarily mean less options when it comes to fun in the sun. As far as our apartment goes, we are very much spoiled with two separate terraces. However, one of those has been terribly neglected over the past 1.5 years… and I will take full blame for it! Last…
There is always a certain magic that comes with a city located by a large body of water. It provokes an inner calm that is hard to compete with. Hence, it comes at no surprise that hanseatic Hamburg is amongst my favorites of the German cities. Not only due to it’s Nordic elegance (which can…
Summer is here. Finally. As much as I complained about the overly rainy and cold May to most everyone that crossed my path, I do love the fact that it puts things into perspective and makes me so much more appreciative about the arrival of warm, sunnier days. In other words: a lot of time…
There is nothing quite as elegant and springtime-appropriate as a crispy white blazer. But hey, I get it, white can be intimidating. However, with a little effort (or the help of your trusted dry-cleaners) a white blazer is definitely worth the splurge. It is such a versatile piece that will accompany you all the way…
Mid-January is usually when my tolerance for Winter starts to decline drastically. Up until Christmas Winter time flies by, then I am caught in the holiday spirit surrounded by my loved ones, start the new year with the best intentions and get excited about a bit of snow and a crisp blue sky in the…
For the past 10 years, fitness has been a part of my life. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Meaning: For most of my adult-life, I have worked out. Not necessarily because I am one of those sporty girls that has to be active all the time, but rather because I love food and simply don’t have…
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…
