Career and lifestyle content for the modern, professional woman.
A year later, and we’re back with the monthly edit. I’ve been rather quiet on the blog lately, and there’s a reason. Life has been “life-ing” really hard and a lot has happened. We got pregnant late last year, moved houses and furnished our new place from scratch. We also got married and of course welcomed our baby boy this […]
I’ve recently started my maternity leave and as I was preparing to start it, I penned down a few thoughts and career lessons that I also wanted to share here on the blog. Closing in on almost a decade of work, I’ve been through several phases and embodied several work personalities. I’ve been the fresh out of uni junior employee […]
Hi and bye September! It’s been a while now but I am still extremely excited for autumn. I was desperately waiting for the weather to turn crisper and fresher once September arrived, and although it took a couple of weeks in Berlin, now autumn is in full swing and I love it. There’s not too much to highlight for September. […]
Doing bag reviews is one of my most favourite things. And yet, I have not shared the review of my holy grail bag, and honestly, it’s certainly deserving of a little review post. It might be perceived as a little over the top or even pretentious for some. If that’s the case, feel free to skip this read. In the […]
Here we are, going through the August edit and it means that summer is over. And I can’t quite believe it. It went by both really fast and also a little slow. As I was doing my best to keep my intention for this summer – to live a vibrant summer – and I was cramming in as much as I […]
July is flying by and summer is not really feeling like summer this season. Granted, the weather in Berlin has been a little subpar. We’ve had plenty of rainy days and even proper storms. I am not that mad about it but that also means I didn’t manage any lake days. I am also missing Spain around this time, summer […]
Lately I’ve been thinking, if I were to start my working life or career all over again, what is it that I would prioritise in terms of skills. And I’ve narrowed it down to 6 essential skills that I would build early on in my career. They’re the top things that come to mind when I think about what would […]
I’m excited to share the Goyard St Louis tote GM review post with you today since it’s one of my most worn bags. Back in autumn, during our annual trip to Paris, I bought the Goyard St Louis GM tote. I had it on my wishlist for a while, but I am not sure that’s a good enough excuse because […]
Hello from New York City! 👋 I am writing this as I am enjoying a beautiful week in NYC as I tagged along for the Mr’s business trip. It was definitely not in the cards – nor in the budget after the 3-week vacation in Japan earlier this year – to visit this year, but tagging along to a business […]
I’ve been thinking of my Weekly Reads series lately – which by the way I discontinued a couple of years ago – and honestly I’ve been missing it. I’ve been missing writing regularly. While long form posts are great, they do take a lot of time and focus – two things that seem to elude me lately. So I am […]
If you follow me on Instagram, you will know that one of my latest bags is the Loewe Puzzle Bag, which I added to my collection this summer. Before you read any further, I have to tell you this will be an extremely biased review because I am absolutely in love with this bag. Much more than I expected I […]
At the end of every year I like to do a general end of year reflection. However, I don’t usually do an overly structured review and planning for the year ahead. This year’s reflection came to happen very randomly and it led to a 3-step annual self-review & goal planning process. Now that I’ve done it, I’ve found it immensely […]
I am quite excited to look back at what I shopped this year and what my favourite pieces have been. It was an eventful year in terms of shopping. A little too eventful I might add. I started the year really strong, buying very few pieces and following my wishlist very tightly. Somewhere around mid-year however, I started loosening up […]
Around this time of the year, I love to sit down and curate a small list of items that I’d love to gift or be gifted, and this is how the holiday gift guide for her 2023 edition comes to be. I love to use it as inspiration for my own Christmas shopping and also to revisit things on my wishlist. […]
I enjoy putting together this post every year. So I’m very excited to be sharing the Holiday Gift Guide for Him 2023 edition. In our household we are careful with what we buy. That’s not to say we don’t buy much, we do. But we try to buy high quality items that would last us a long time. When it […]
