Career and lifestyle content for the modern, professional woman.
I recently shared a post detailing my career journey. Where I started and where I am currently but also all the steps I took in between. I made some good decisions along the way, while some others were probably not the best. Looking back, however, I wanted to share a few key lessons and tips from my career journey that […]
I am a little nosy and I absolutely love it when I come across a “What’s in my work bag” type of post, video, reel etc… so I thought I would (finally) do one as well. I try and keep my bags rather light, but of course, it does not always work out. Especially when going to work, I end […]
I’ve been working a full-time office job for over seven years. During this time I’ve worked in three different companies, changed industries and took a pay cut twice, and did a pretty major career change once. Some things I’ve learned, some things I probably haven’t yet, and I thought I would share a bit more about where I started and […]
I love a good coat and this weekend I felt inspired to browse some shops in search of the perfect coat. Last year I bought a few coats that I am really happy with, however I also have an eye on adding a couple more to my wardrobe, to complete the collection. I want to say that I have a […]
I’ve recently added the Celine Sangle Bucket Bag to my bag collection, as the perfect work bag for my current lifestyle. I commute by bike and I needed something luxe but also practical enough to fit a laptop + other work essentials, and to also fit into my bike basket, without me worrying too much that it might scratch or lose shape. […]
I did quite some decluttering this year when it comes to my wardrobe, and I am really proud of it. I also shopped a little throughout the year, I will not deny it, especially while in Spain as it was sales time. Most, if not all pieces were solid options though that have a place in my wardrobe. With fall around […]
I never expected it but having a Kindle completely changed my reading habits. I’ve read a total of 18 books this year, out of which 17 were on the Kindle. For comparison, in the last few years I’ve averaged somewhere around 10 books/year. So receiving a Kindle as a birthday present from the Mr. back in January was definitely a […]
I wanted to share this pink suit on the blog, because it’s been bringing me so much joy to wear it this summer and I am very pleased to have added it to my wardrobe. I got this suit at Zara during one of the visits to Spain, back in May and I did not get the chance to wear […]
I have to admit that lately I shopped a little. I took full advantage of the sales while in Spain, and I have to say that I (think) I bought quite a few good pieces. Now, some of them were on sales – and I think they were very good choices even though not all necessarily “needed” – while some […]
As shared in the part 1 of this series, looking back at the last 6 months, I thought I would reflect on what has been important during my first few months on the job and share some tips that can help you too. There is one important thing to achieve during your first 3-6 months at a new job, and that […]
Life as a Product Manager is good so far. Since joining in my new role and company, I’ve been spending a lot of time learning about the business, the market, the products, the users, the processes and really everything that comes with a new company and a new role. Already before starting out, I built a pretty hefty list of […]
I am really excited about the weather warming up and getting the running season started; hence I am exicted about sharing some running outfits inspiration. I am not one to run in the cold, so I only start running once it gets warmer, usually in April – give or take a month, depending on how long it takes for the […]
Before I even start diving into this post, let me start by making it clear that this is not a “traditional” capsule wardrobe, in the sense that I haven’t curated it on purpose and in a strict way, nor have I covered every single piece one would need for a proper capsule. It’s simply my version of a minimal winter […]
It’s that time of the year once again; time for a 2021 recap. As the year is ending, I love looking back and taking stock of my work and personal life; what I enjoyed, what I learned and what was I excited about. Part of it I do it on the blog – you can read last year’s recap here – and […]
As tradition has it, I am coming late with the 2021 holiday gift guide for Her. While I already got all my Christmas shopping done – and even opened some of the presents already, oops! – I though it might be nice to share some easy ideas in case you still need to get something special for your loved ones, but you […]
