It's been 80 Days

Exactly 80 days I pressed a few simple buttons on my laptop screen which lead to one of my most regretful decisions. The story behind it is long and taught me one of the most important lessons I’ve ever learned: Thinking.

A bit over two months ago, maybe you realised, my blog went down, for the simple fact, that it didn’t work out the way I wanted. After a very emotional week of drama, in which one of my favourite bags got stolen, all my personal belongings such as keys or ID, gone, I received a mail that my contract with my blog provider was due to renew. As I had thought for a while, that I wasn’t quite as happy as in the beginning and reached the creative limit’s of my page, I decided not to renew it. I basically deleted my blog and wanted to start over on a new hosting page and provider. As someone who always did all of their webpage managing on her own, I felt incredibly confident in setting up the new page and thought it would only take me a day or two. Well, this is the story goes south. I wasn’t able. I underestimated the amount of work, I couldn’t sleep because the state of my blog, my baby I had for five years, wasn’t in a state I would have ever felt to show anyone. I couldn’t concentrate on college submissions, which were lining up next to me and in the end, I almost had a nervous breakdown which ended in multiple hours of hysterical crying sessions.

So, I decided to hire a web developer. I send him examples of what I wanted my page to look like, what my dream outcome would be, I paid for new hosting and, as my old domain was still protected and unable to be written onto a new hosting service, also bought a new domain. Thankfully I was able to create a backup of all my blog posts, five years of work. For the first time in weeks I felt like something was going the right way and finally, I was able to concentrate on college work again.

However, this is not the happy end of the story. As it turned out, what I wanted the blog look like, the vision I had, was not as easy as thought and I ended up with something that neither was me or fulfilled my expectations. Looking back, I spend a huge amount of money on probably one of the most important lessons of my life: Be Your Own Women & Don’t Trust Anyone Other to Do Your Job. I know it sounds cliche, but if I had just trusted my gut and kept on working on my own, I probably would have never made this rash decision and at one point would have come out with this new layout.

But now were here. We made it, I made it. It’s back online, all my old content is still saved up online, and the blog looks better than ever. I hope you enjoy this new blog layout as much as I do, there is a lot of content ready to up for the next days, weeks and months, I never felt more motivated to do this!

Belted Times on Westbourne Grove - Gucci Belt and Vintage Chanel Bag

The last weeks guys, I tell you, I do not recommend doing a two-year Bachelor Degree. You end up literally not having any time for yourself. Over the past couple of weeks, I constantly worked on my submissions, and if I didn't, I was feeling guilty for doing whatever else I was doing. But now it's over, East Holidays are on and I am finally back in Vienna.

However, I didn't wanna withhold this look from you, shot on my absolute favourite street, Westbourne Grove. Beside the fact that it holds the best restaurant in London, Granger & Co, it also has tons of little shops I adore. You can find everything from Maje, Sandro, the Kooples to Joseph, which is my ultimate shopping destination for the future.

Snowy Five Minutes in London and Vintage Bomber Jacket

Looking back, it almost sounds insane that we had a snowstorm last week in London. Over a course of four days, it kept snowing, something that pretty much never ever happens in this town. And I have to say, Snowy London looks incredible. The white houses work seamlessly into the white of the snow and are extremely well put together.

For this very special sunny snowy day, I wore my new Vintage Bomber I found in Paris, pretending to be a student from the Universite De Paris, a white turtleneck and some easy jeans. To add another layer, I wore my over the knee boots underneath. Being super busy at college at the moment, simplicity is key in my day to day outfits.

Florals? For Winter? Groundbreaking. - Midi Skirt and Turtleneck in London

There are a few new additions and addictions to my wardrobe at the moment, but one I am absolutely obsessive about are midi skirts. Since I found those incredible Over the Knee Boots from Make, I barley wanna wear jeans or trousers, so skirts and dresses are my go to for every day. Another major thing are dark florals, they are everywhere! Shop my favourite ones below.

Vacation Edit: Three Looks from Paris with Love

Each time I went to Paris, I left a tiny piece of my heart in the city of Love. There is just nothing like Parisian croissants, coffees or even the air. And since I've been in Paris countless times since my childhood, I can tell, my love for this lace is pretty big.

Recapping on my latest trip there, at the end of last year, I can just say, I can't wait to be back in early February. It was truly what I needed after getting my wisdom teeth removed and the holiday stress. Below I collected my favourite images I took those 4 days and three outfits I wanted to show you. They feature some of my absolute current favourites, a orange leather bomber, red trousers and my check blazer. All three are of those are so called statement pieces, but each of them is super easy to combine with either a black turtle neck, black skinny jeans or a cute little black bag.

Red Trousers meet Parisian Chic in Vienna

As you can see, I am totally preparing myself for Paris after Christmas, at least, fashion wise. The beret has currently a big revival, and has always been one of my favourite french accessories. It has the power, to transform any outfit into a timeless classic with no effort at all. At the moment, I only own the one in black, but, you can bet, that I will buy the whole rainbow as soon as I hit the city of Love.

Another thing I am totally addicted by, are those red pants. I wore them three, maybe even four times this week alone and desperately try to get my hands on the same pair in black. When thinking of outfits, I am currently trying to calm down a bit, less from everything mixed with a few statement pieces. Not only are the red pants the perfect classic, thanks to their colour they are a total statement and perfect for the holidays. Mixed with something green, they are the most christmassy thing ever.

Jewelry Edit: Earrings

Back in August, on a very hot and sticky day in Vienna, just a few days before I moved in London and flew of to New York, I finally fulfilled one of my childhood dreams: I got my ears pierced. I know. I know, this sounds like the weirdest thing ever, I mean who doesn't have at least a few wholes in dear ears anyway, but for me it was still a big deal. And even bigger it the fact, that from now on I am finally allowed to wear heavier, hanging ones.

So of course, I had to storm off immediately and get some of those beautiful ones sided huge crystal earrings and try them out. And what a strange feeling I can tell you. But in so many good ways. I love the earring-life! I'm not that big of a jewelry girl itself, but earring are the perfect way of wearing something little every day.

Below I collected my favorite earrings I found so far, they are all real jewelry, since I already realized that I am allergic to stuff from the high street and they need to be gold or silver pleated at least. Maybe there is even something for christmas in this little list...?

The Other Gift Guide: 10 Charity Presents for Christmas 2017

Christmas is coming closer with every day now, the shops are filling up on chocolate Santas, cookies, decorations for our homes and presents for our loved ones. But each year around this time, I am starting to ask myself a very important question. Why Christmas.

I've stopped believing in anything religious years ago and since then, started somewhat of a love-hate-relationship with the favourite holiday around the world. I still truly love the idea of Christmas, the coming together of family and friends, celebrating ourself, being aware of what we have and how beautiful all of our lives are. But while I was growing up, a lot of negative thoughts slowly came up in me and the biggest of all: What are people doing this day without a family? What are those doing that can't afford a beautiful Christmas meal, the ones that maybe lost everything to a natural disaster or even the ones who never had much?

Since then, I started writing those Charity Christmas Posts. I always saw those beautifully curated articles on other blogs and magazines, saying, get this for your loved ones, buy here, spend money there. And it made me sad, sad to realise we live in a society where we don't doubt buying a T-Shirt for 150 bucks but wouldn't give a hungry a few coins so they can enjoy a meal or tea.

I am still a totally commercial chick, don't get me wrong, I am that person who is willing to spend 150 bucks on a stupid T-Shirt that probably wasn't even produced ethically correctly. But still, I do give myself a monthly budget I HAVE to spend on people living in the streets. I will never not ask them if they need anything from a close supermarket when I am short on cash and have the time pop into the store for a quick shop and even if not, I will always try to give them at least a warm smile in those cold days. We live in such a hectic world, we are all so busy, that we often forget about the real things in life, forget that there are people with real problems, who are not thinking about where to get the perfect party dress from, no they are probably thinking on where they can sleep tonight, if they can afford a hostel and how they will find a space to be safe from the harsh weather conditions we are experiencing right now.

My biggest achievement in Life for myself is not that I managed to get into college in London all on my own or this blog, no, is that I spend one and a half months building up a refugee-home in Vienna during one of the biggest crisis we ever experienced. I am proud to have met so many wonderful souls, just looking for a safe place to stay for themselves and their family, proud to be able to take back on my life and being fully committed into the wellbeing of someone else.

Anyway, I kind of had to write that from my soul right now. I did collect my favourite Charity Presents for your beloved ones below. I tried to do a bit of a mixture of British and Austrian charity organisations, jewellery companies that help others and ethically good produced beauty products. There is truly something for everyone in here, so, please, if possible, think about maybe giving away a pig for a family in need, lunch for a school-kid that otherwise would be hungry or maybe just some seeds for a poor family living in a totally different World. If you are ever in doubt what to get your parents, grandparents, uncles, sisters or friends, I am sure they will appreciate the thought of getting them something that will mean the world for another human being. I know it’s a lot to ask for, but if there is any chance you are willing to help, I’d be forever grateful and maybe, the person you are gifting too, will be too.

None of the pictures in this post are from me, they are all sourced by either the charity sites itself or from people that posted about them. The other images, the homeless on the streets decorated with fairy lights, are from one of my favourite holiday campaigns so far, published by ADOT.COM in 2014. It is here, to make us more aware of people sleeping rough through the holiday season, the cold months of the year, and asks one simple question:

What will it take for you to see them?

#1: CRISIS

One of my favourite charity ideas for London, here you can reserve a place for one person in need at their Christmas dinner, where they not only offer hot food, but also advice, healthcare screenings, learning workshops and most importantly, someone to listen. It’s a beautiful curated package for every person in need and, what I think is extra special, is not just for one day, not, it is for NINE days. With your donation here, someone could be able to have a beautiful meal every day for over a week straight, for just £26.08.

#2: GIVESCENT

Givescent was found by two beautiful souls, after a trip to Italy. They not only wanted to create a new scent full of amazing aromas, also with every bottle they are selling they support the Women for Women International organisation, helping women all over the world to get the medical advice they need, help them to find jobs and educate them on their rights.

#3: VASELINE RELIEF KIT

One of my personal biggest surprises when researching possible charity gifts for you guys, was when I found that Vaseline is working together with Direct Relied to provide dermatological care all over the world where it’s most needed. The best part here is, that they have a new and engaging way on how you can choose how much and what you’d like to donate. On their website, you have to option to build your own Relief Kit, where you can drag and drop products like, Emergency Blankets, Soap, Plasters or Blood Pressure Cuffs into your little Box, which you can that purchase and send to places they are needed most. And with every one of those little boxes, Vaseline sponsors one pack of their own renowned Vaseline itself!

#4: SOAP CO

Another truly beautiful brand I found, is Soap & Co. Not only are they a fully sustainable and earth-friendly beauty company, producing products like Lotions, Exfoliating Soap Pebbles and well, soaps itself, no, each of their products is produced by blind people in London, who otherwise wouldn’t find work. For me this is one of those pioneer projects, everyone should know about and help, because that’s the way we should treat any kind of disabled human being, give them a chance at something they will succeed. Beside that, they have beautiful gift packages, who are insanely cute packaged and ready to give immediately.

#5: SCHENKEN MIT SINN

Schenken mit Sinn probably only really makes sense for my Austrian & German Followers, since it’s based there. It’s the present shop of Caritas, the biggest charity organisation in Austria and everything you can buy in their store will help someone else. You can choose from pigs for families in Africa, seeds, baby care packages or lunches for school kids around the world. As treat, you get a beautiful little card, explaining exactly where your money is going and how it’s gonna help. This is perfect for everyone you don’t exactly know what to get for example their grandparents, aunts and uncles or cousins.

#6: OXFAM

Oxfam is the equivalent to Schenken mit Sinn in the UK, where very similar, you can go and shop to change another person's life for the better this Christmas. They are called the Unwrapped Gifts, where you will get not something physical, but a beautiful curated card explaining your loved one exactly where their Christmas Gift is helping. You can choose between education for kids, medical help for refugee camps, grow vegetables or my personal favourite, a goat couple, giving a family milk and cheese to sell.

#7: GIVING KEYS

Coming to one of my personal heroes I found while researching, the Giving Keys Jewellery Brand form Los Angeles. They are another one of those companies, trying to change the world to a better place and in my eye, they are 100% succeeding. Every single one of their beautiful necklaces, bracelets or earrings, is made by a person transitioning out of homelessness. They make new jobs, teach every single person important knowledge in money management and other things someone might need trying to get out of the streets. People are treated to food and beverages and the brand also helps everyone to not only set their personal goals but also on the way to achieve them. Beside that, I think that their design is just undoubtfully one of the best ones I’ve seen so far. No one would ever think it’s for charity because it just looks perfect.

#8: PURPOSE JEWELLERY

Let’s stay with Charity Jewellery, but a different cause this time. Purpose Jewellery’s beautiful item are all created by women reduced from human trafficking, by buying one of their products, you provide freedom, dignity and hope to so many poor souls. The young women are getting taught every part of the business, to gain important skills they will need in their future careers.

#9: BRITISH RED CROSS

A classic under the charity organisations, where you can choose from many different places to send an important donation too. Syria, West Africa, Yemen and Iraq are some of them. It’s incredibly easy to donate, and even though if you’re not getting a pretty card or anything else out of it, just the thought that £30 alone would be enough to buy a food parcel for a whole family for a month, is extremely satisfying in my eyes.

#10: GO FUND ME

Go Fund Me doesn’t seem like the traditional place for charity, but I recently became a bit addicted to it and wanted to share it here. I love the idea that there is real human being out there, just simply asking for a little help out of the comfort of your living room. There are projects to build schools, water fountains, pay medical bills for children, resume wildlife animals or just simply families that need a little help for a hard time. Her I can only encourage you to trust into people, look out for stories that touch you personally the most, and maybe even connect with some of them through social media.

Fluffy Coat: New favourite for sunny Fall Days

Finally a new Outfit Post! Over the last weeks I had a bit of a blockage when it came to creating outfits worth shooing, but I cleaned out my closet a bit, and look there, suddenly my life seems a lot more organised again.

Currently the biggest life safer is this Teddy Coat, a must have this season and a cheaper version to the beautiful ones Max Mara send down the runway for this winter. Over the last days it got incredible cold in London, cold enough for me to consider buying some emergency gloves whenever I leave the house. The only good thing, it has been sunny for several days now! I've already been feeling the serious Vitamin D lack in my mood.

I was wearing:

MANGO Teddy Coat / ERIC BOMPARD Cashmere Turtle Neck / LEVI'S Jeans / L'AUTRE CHOSE Boots / VALENTINO Bag

Vacation Edit: A Golden Time in San Francisco

My week in San Francisco was probably one of the best trips of my life. It was my first time anywhere else in the US than New York and the first time I started to understand how gorgeous the country actually is. I visited my longest friend there, who gladly studies there (lady in terms of, it’s totally appropriate to visit her next year again).

But since I travelled alone (she had to be at Uni most of the time) I did everything I wanted to do. I never thought I enjoyed travelling alone that much, but I never felt better! I had the best AirBnB host ever (who took me to watch the sunrise over Golden Gate Bridge one morning), I went to Alcatraz which was on my bucket list for years, saw Angel Island, went to all the museums I wanted and ate amazing food. I am absolutely stunned by the beautiful architecture of San Francisco, the vibe, the weather and the people. Just everything was perfect, except maybe my jet leg and the fact that i only had 6 short days in this beauty.

Below again, you will find a mixed pictures of my favourite things I experienced, either on polaroid, film or my phone. Be aware, some of them are very goofy.

Vacation Edit: Five Weeks in New York

Spending more time in the US, especially New York, has been on my bucket list forever, probably since I saw Carrie Bradshaw getting almost hit buy a bus an ruined her perfect pink tutu. And over summer this year, this point on my list got ticked off.

Well and obviously, over a time of five weeks, there are a lot of pictures taken. Many of them, I took with disposable film cameras, many with my phone, a few with my camera and two with my polaroid. Looking back, I wished I had carried my polaroid camera around more often, but well, I'll remember for the next big trip I take. Even though it took me quite a while, I finally edited all of them down to an acceptable amount to show you guys. And outfit questions or locations, please shout to me!

California Dreaming in San Francisco

California Baby! I can't tell you how happy I am I finally had my first time in the state of summer, love, beautiful sunsets and happiness. Being a classical millennial, I've dreamed about this for probably the last 5 years. And I planned. And how I planned. Not the trip itself, more the idea, of what I wanted it to be.

And San Francisco did not disappoint. It did the exact opposite, ticking off every little thing on my list and making me want even more. One of these dots was, very cliche, In-n-Out Burger. I saw it so many times on my Instagram Feed, researched their famous secret menu in-n-out (pun intended) and I went there. And I loved it. Nothing on this whole trip did disappoint. Obviously I had to get a T-Shirt, because, have you really been there if you haven't bought a shirt?Anyway, here we have my take on a Californian all-white look.

I was wearing:

IN N OUT BURGER White Graphic Tee / H&M White Denim Skirt / VALENTINO Studded Bag / SAINT LAURENT Sneakers

Eight Restaurants to try in New York

Spending five weeks in New York, pretty much on your own the whole time, makes a lot of lonely dinners. But that doesn't mean for one second that you can't enjoy it. I actually love sitting in a cute little place, surrounded by business and just sinking into my book. And that's pretty much what I did for the whole time. And of course I need to share my favourite places with you! To some of these restaurants I've been probably four to five times alone, which is a lot when you only stay in a city for about five weeks.

So if you ever make it to New York in the next weeks, here are some tips for you and please feel free to share any more new founds with me!

#1: PEPE ROSSO TO GO

Unlike many other restaurants in this list, Pepe Rosso To Go has nothing to do with Instagram. But it is probably the one I am most proud of to have on my list, since it's one of the best pastas I ever had, and guys, I know what I am talking about. If you like fancy food, a nice environment, or music in the background, this is not your place. Here is only one thing that counts, Pasta. However, if you are looking for a place to have a meal for under $20, that's quick, easy and delicious, this is a perfect match. I found it on one of my many strolls through Soho, desperately looking for something easy to eat, where I wouldn't feel left out for sitting on my own. And then, Pepe Rosso made it entrance on the stage. It's self-service, you get wine in plastic cups and they expect you to clean the tables afterwards. It's still good enough that old Italian gentlemen and ladies, with hat and suit and Dolce and Gabanna handbags, are walking in to pick up their dinner for home. If that's not a quality symbol for good pasta, I don't know what would.

PEPE ROSSO TO GO, 149 Sullivan St, NY 10012 WEBSITE INSTAGRAM

#2: AN CHOI

This little spot in the Lower East Side is somewhat of a Lifesaver. Almost mid through my time in New York, my immune system finally gave in on the 24/7 air conditioning and I started to feel a bit feverish and within minutes I googled: "Vietnamese restaurant near me". And Google did not disappoint, no, this phenomenal veggie broth saved my life that night.

AN CHOI, 85 Orchard Street, NY 10002 WEBSITE INSTAGRAM

#3: CLINTON STREET BAKING COMPANY

When I heard that the best pancakes in the city where serves just two blocks away from me, I absolutely had to get some of these fully pillows. Beside the fact that the queen starts normally 30 minutes before even opening of the doors, you can't got wrong with this place. Everything is delicious, easy and exactly how it should be.

CLINTON STREET BAKING COMPANY, 4 Clinton Street, NY 10002 WEBSITE INSTAGRAM

#4: MULBERRY & VINE

Mulberry and Vine is one of those places you find on your last day while visiting a place and you are incredible mad that you only found it on that last day. I literally, not a joke, found this little spot on the last Thursday of my Internship while walking back from Wholefoods with my Lunch. And when I got my last Lunch from there on Friday, I was seriously disappointed at my self for not having every Lunch from here over the last four weeks. It's clean, healthy, delicious and you can mix and match from different salads, sides and proteins. So the dream of every Healthy-Eating Person!

MULBERRY & VINE, 77 Warren Street, NY 10007 WEBSITE INSTAGRAM

#5: CAFÉ HENRIE

Café Henrie is one of those little places you've seen at least four times on your Instagram Feed in the last months. It is, the perfect place to gram your breakfast, brunch or lunch, because just about everything is pink. Their tables, glasses, menus and, their very pink neon at the back. If you're looking for a fun place to enjoy some amazing banana bread and relax for a bit, this is it!

CAFÉ HENRIE, 116 Forsyth Street, NY 10003 WEBSITE INSTAGRAM

#6: EL REY

This little coffeeshop not only has my favourite, or well only coffee I drink, cold brew, but also serves the most amazing brunch. I adore their Granola Bowl, because no matter how easy it would be make one on my own, Granola is always better when done by someone else. And I guess, this wonderful colourful little Avocado and Pita I don't have to explain.

EL RAY, 100 Stanton Street, NY 10002 WEBSITE INSTAGRAM

#7: DUDLEYS

The little Take Away and Restaurant in Orchard Street might just be my favourite place. I've been there multiple times, just sitting there at the bar, enjoying my food and reading my book. They serve marvellous cocktails, as I watched them so many times prepare. One of my favourite things there is the little bowl of Olives and Haloumi for nibbling, because, who doesn't love to nibble. Also their Pasta, or Breads, are all delicious. So if you ever are in need for a space with comforting food, where you can read a good book while it rains outside, I've got you covered.

DUDLEYS, 85 Orchard Street, NY 10002 WEBSITE INSTAGRAM

#8: LA ESQUINA

The Corner between Soho and the Lower East Side might look like a typical Take Away Deli, but when you're lucky enough to make a reservation for the hidden restaurant downstairs, you will experience one of the secret Speakeasy Locations of New York! I don't really wanna tell too much about it since that's all what it's about, mystery and fun!

Never Ending Summer in New York

New York has probably some of the toughest summers ever, this city, full of people and full of buildings, can reach incredible high temperatures. So it's necessary to pack cloths that touch you at the least amount of body parts as possible.

Pairing one of my favourite skirts, a striped knitted midi skirt and a cute little top with rose print was the only option for last Saturdays heat wave and my last stroll trough the city before leaving to San Francisco. Also I am super proud to finally have one of these absolute un-fashiony grocery bags who are totally in fashion right now!

I was wearing:

ASOS Skirt / BRANDY MELLVILLE Top / SAINT LAURENT Shoes / THE LINE Bag

Cruising around Manhattan - Skyscrapers and Statue of Liberty

New York New York... My last days in here came way to fast. On Sunday I am already leaving for San Francisco, a week later back to London and Vienna and then College is already back on the schedule. This summer went by so fast, so many things happened that I defiantly can't wait for a few peaceful weeks in London just to let everything settle a bit, after pretty much travelling for two months straight.

Last weekend my wonderful parents visited me and we made probably one of the most exciting trips ever - a little cruise around the island of Manhattan. It's one thing to walk around between all those Skyscrapers and even work in one of them, but seeing them so close and so far away at once, on a beautiful little yacht, is something complete different. The tour was accompanied by architectural details, which was obvious since both of my parents are architects. But still, it's amazing how much you can learn - and see - from a tour like this!

I realised later, looking at the images, that I pretty much dressed up as an sailor, with defiantly wasn't my intention. The captions hat, one of the biggest accessories this year in combination with my moms old Prada jumper (called the Stepford-wife or golfer-wife jumper, since I always feel like I would be ready to drink some champagne on a perfect green yarn when wearing it) made me ready to sail into sunset.

The best part was that we also took a little turn around Statue of Liberty, something which I only ever saw out of office windows in Downtown. But my favourite moment was when we sailed through Brooklyn and Williamsburg Bridge, where I possibly took my favourite image ever of the Manhattan Skyline.

I was wearing:

PRADA Jumper / H&M Jeans / GUCCI Belt / ASOS Hat / ZARA Shoes / CLEO NICCI Sunglasses
