For the first part of our stay in Abu Dhabi, we decided on the Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri, which is located across the canal from the stunning Sheikh Zayed Mosque. The second I saw the view on the hotel photos, I was sold. Plus, the entire hotel is styled in Arabic decor, which is something…
Even though I wanted to celebrate my birthday somewhere warm this year, of course I also wanted to celebrate with my friends. First thing we did when I was back in town, was a super lazy birthday brunch. Lots of friends, presents, some bubbly, good food and laughter made the day extra special, and I…
Even though Abu Dhabi is a place with hot weather and plenty of pools, it is also a city with traditions. Dubai is definitely more liberal (from what I can tell), and in Abu Dhabi we also saw a lot more locals around the hotels and restaurants. Hence, I tried to dress appropriately for the weather…
For the first time since I can remember (read: in my life), I decided that I wanted to spend my birthday away from home. Somewhere warm. With a beach near by! Said and done, in December we booked our flights and hotels for sunny Abu Dhabi. We are already at our second hotel here, as…
Some experiences are simply #bucketlist worthy. Whether or not you live in Vienna, the Opera Ball is definitely one of those things. Every year, I’ve followed along on TV, but always imagined what I would be like to actually be there. Well, this year I got to experience the ball. Naturally, one of the most important…
This is one look that some of you may love, and others will probably hate. I’ve recently spotted quite a few flared jeans in magazines and blogs, and sort of liked the idea of digging out my old Hudsons from 2008 again. Personally, I love the look and know I’ll be wearing these a ton…
Those that follow along on Instagram (@vickyheiler) already know that I flew out to Berlin last Friday for a super fun event with s.Oliver and a whole bunch of other bloggers. We had an amazing two days of getting to know the brand (including s.Oliver denim and s.Oliver premium), shooting streetstyle looks, learning a thing…
In the 8 years that Mike and I have been together, we have never celebrated Valentine’s Day. Why? Certainly not because we don’t love each other, but rather because my birthday has always been the next day – and that probably won’t change anytime soon. As soon as the clock strikes midnight, it is all…
Last week, I married Kathi! Not really, but it sure felt like it. We hopped in front of Julie Brass’ lens for a bridal shoot to show off Anna Posch’s skills. Don’t worry, no wedding bells ringing just yet, but it was so much fun to play dress up with stunning dresses and even more stunning…
This year, without a doubt, I’ve spent more time in the mountains than in the last 3 years combined. Which is pretty ridiculous, considering my parents live in beautiful Zell am See. For the first time in years, I’ve actually appreciated this (semi-weird) Winter we’ve had. Lots of sunny days, a bit of snow, and…
