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…
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.

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…

While I spent 29 years of my life without ever visiting a single festival, I am currently on a mission make up for it. From Amsterdam to Calvi and New York (coming up later this month), this is turning out to be quite the festival Summer. After Amsterdam Open Air for a bachelorette party in…
For years now, I have been trying to figure out what “my style” is. When I see a piece, I instantly know how I feel about it, but I have never been able to put my personal style into words. In all honesty, I don’t see anything special about it. But at the end of…
