Career and lifestyle content for the modern, professional woman.
I love putting together small gift guides around this time of the year. It’s usually full of items that I take inspiration from for my own Christmas shopping (for both myself and loved ones) or things that I’ve already bought myself and love – therefore tried and tested. So I genuinely think they are solid options, thoughtful, and items to be used […]
I can’t quite believe the fourth trimester is over now and so is a quarter of my maternity leave (the post birth leave that is, as in Germany we also get 6 weeks before the due date). Time is flying and I am not ready for it to go by so fast. Looking back, the first three months have been […]
I am so excited that autumn is in full swing and so grateful for cool and crisp days. Although the summer wasn’t too bad in Berlin in terms of heat, we did get a few weeks of high temperatures and they were more than enough for me. One of the heat waves caught me very heavily pregnant, which is no […]
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 […]
