Room Tour

I've finally received the last bits of my interior pieces and would love to share them with you! Thanks to a lovely collaboration with Otto.de I am the lucky owner of some very stylish new bits of interior in my room.
Since some of the pieces in my room were already there when I moved in, I tried to get new items that would work well with the overall vintage look. I decided for a floor lamp and table lamp form the same brand in antique brass. The are a perfect addition to my vintage couch and sofa. Another favorite is the bedside table that I already talked about in my weekly update #2. I'm really in love with the new items and loved styling them in my new room. Additionally I also bought a couple of other new bits and bots which I all linked below, so you can shop them straight away. Happy Monday loves!


DE: Ich habe nun endlich die letzten Teile für meine Zimmereinrichtung erhalten und teile sie voller Freude mit euch! Dank einer wundervollen Kooperation mit Otto.de habe ich nun einige tolle neue Einrichtungsgegenstände in meinem Zimmer. Da ich einige der Einrichtungsteile schon in meinem Zimmer waren als ich einzig, entschied ich mich dazu den Vintage Look beizubehalten und neue Teile zu suchen, die dazu passen. Deshalb wanderten die tollen Messinglampen von Trio sowie ein klassischer schwarzer Nachttisch, von dem ich euch schon im weekly update #2 erzählte, in meine  neue Einrichtungssammlung. Ich finde die neuen Teile wirklich toll und hatte viel Spaß dabei, alles an den richtigen Ort zu stellen, damit ein tolles Gesamtbild entsteht.  Zusätzlich habe ich auch noch einige Dekoteile eingekauft und euch alles verlinkt, damit ihr auch gleich shoppen könnt wenn euch das eine oder andere Teil gefällt. Happy Montag meine Lieben!

Resolutions 2016

The end of the first working week in 2016 calls for a different kind of article, namely sharing my 2016 resolutions. To be honest I've never had resolutions really. I mean I already know I should do more sports, eat healthier and so on but never have I ever consciously made that a resolution. Now's the time. I'm sharing my 5 resolutions for 2016. 

DE: Die erste Arbeitswoche im neuen Jahr ist schon vorüber, daher wird es auf dem Blog Zeit, für einen Beitrag über meine Vorsätze. Ehrlich gesagt habe ich bisher nie irgendwelche Vorsätze gehabt. Immerhin weiß ich bereits, dass ich aktiver sein sollte und mich gesünder ernähren sollte. Dieses Jahr habe ich jedoch einige und daher gibt es heute, meine 5 Vorsätze für das Jahr 2016.

1. BE HEALTHY
With a very special trip coming up in less than 6 months I need to get back into my workout routine asap. When I lived in London I used to jog 3 times a week and do a 10-minute home workout on the daily. But ever since I moved back to Berlin, exercising has become more of a legend. 2016 though will be the year of exploring foreign sunny places, laying on various beaches and enjoying hot climate, therefore I really need to be in shape. This of course also includes a healthy nutrition. I've been having way too many sweets and a lot of fast food lately. Not good. This really needs to change. I'll keep you posted on how this resolution is going. I can already tell you one thing, it's going to be the hardest one for me to fulfill.

2. GET ORGANIZED
Since I'm blogging full-time at the moment and I'd like to keep it that way, I really need to step up my game in terms of organization, especially of the blog. I've already gotten better by actually having to -do lists with the most important duties for the week. I actually started doing this last year and will strive to keep it up. Next thing for me now is to develop a good routine of managing myself and actually getting all my to-do's done in time. I'm off to a good start I guess.   

3. SAVE UP
This resolution is probably important for anyone, anytime but especially for all my fellow freelancers working for themselves. As a freelancer you pay literally everything yourself from the smallest office  products (and the actual office) to all different kinds of insurances. So even when times are really good and you're earning a lot of money it's wise to think for bad days financially. I'm really not good at saving which isn't my best trait. But hey, 2016 is the year this is going to change. I've already put together a plan so have a better overview of my finances. 

4. PLAN LESS, DO MORE
Do you ever feel like you're too over cautious and spend more time on planning stuff than actually doing them? Well, I have to raise my hand here. Whether it's lunch dates, meetings or travels I need to do more and plan less. I need to be in the moment as supposed to be the crazy lady that plans every little detail. You enjoy yourself way less because you're exhausted of taking care of everything. So 2016 is the year of doing less, be in the moment and play less. This resolution also includes  to stop documenting everything I experience. As a blogger that's really difficult to do because you kind of live of sharing your life with your readers. Nevertheless I need to make room for private an more intimate happenings that I will keep for myself and I need to enjoy the moment while it happens.  Life is probably much more fun that way, no? 

5. TRAVEL MORE
This one is a no brainer for very wanderluster out there. The say to travel is tp live and I 100 percent live by that principle. I've been to Fuerteventura, Portugal (Lisbon), Finland (Helsinki), Sweden (Stockholm), Uganda (multiple places), Kenya, Croatia (Split & Rab), Italy and France (Paris, Nice, Cannes). It's always been the most thrilling feeling to touch down a new country. Exploring a new place is probably the most exciting thing ever, at least for me. So this year I'm okaying on seeing even more of the world. A few trips are already planned but the year is long. An so is my bucket list for travel destinations. So 2016 will be all about new wandering the world with my family, great friends and of course my love. Traveling really is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer. So, to new adventures guys!

What are your resolutions for 2016? I'd love to hear them in the comment section. I hope you have an amazing Saturday!

Weekly Update #3

Review: Hi loves! This is the first weekly update in the new year and I couldn't be more exciting. Last week was very eventful since we attended a lot of dinners and parties with friends.
Apart from little work to finish off the working year I got to meet up with friends a lot, hang out with my siblings and spend quality time with Chris. Although it's been super cold we made the effort to go out and take walks along the river as well as shoot some photos. We also stumbled over the Michelberger Hotel, that we hadn't visited in ages. There we spent a long afternoon at the cafe just talking, having coffee and braistorming what's on the agenda for the blog this year. Let me tell you, it's going tobe an exiting one!

Event of the week: Last week's most fun event was my friend's house party on Saturday! So many lovely people came and we all had a great time. We had plenty of delicious food, great drinks (the most important) and good music. I had an amazing time chatting to friends I hadn't seen in a long time while having a glass of red. It was also lovely to meet some new faces. Amazing party it was and the best part was being able to sleep in the following day! :)

New In: Although this is a rather old(ish) purchase it's become my favorite one. I'm speaking of the beautiful Hallhuber leather bag that seems to be inspired by the Furla Metropolis bag. This one is just a bit bigger which I really love. It's the perfect size to carry your essentials. The classic black leather cad be paired with any outfit and the golden buckle details gives the bag a luxe touch. Seriously I have been so obsessed with this bag, I am wearing it every single day! Some of you lovely readers told me that it's sold out now but I found a good similar version here.

Plans: A while ago I received an exciting offer. BLONDE Magazine asked me whether I'd liked to be featured in their utterly inspiring magazine. My answer: YES! Naturally. This magazine has become my go to for creative inspiration in such a short time. I can't tell you more yet but, that we are shooting in a couple of weeks and that the issue will be out in March. So stay tuned! I must say I'm super excited and feel really honored. I can't wait to share more!

DE:

Rückblick: Hallo ihr Lieben! Dies ist der erste Wochenrückblick im neuen Jahr und ich könnte aufgeregter nicht sein. Die letzte Woche war dank der Urlaubstage sehr ereignisreich, denn wir trafen viele unserer Freunde zum gemütlichen Essen und haben außerdem auf der einen oder anderen Party das Tanzbein geschwungen. Nachdem meine letzten To-Do's für das Arbeitsjahr 2015 erledigt waren, widmete ich mich ganz meinen Freunden und der Familie. Mit meinen Freund verbrachte ich außerdem einige tolle freie Tage und wir wagten uns trotz eisigen Temperaturen sogar nach draußen und spazierten am Fluss entlang. Außerdem haben wir nach langer Zeit das Michelberger Hotel wieder für uns entdeckt. Hier saßen wir gefühlt stundenlang, tranken Kaffee und machten Pläne für das neue Jahr. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass 2016 noch besser wird als 2015! 

Event der Woche: Das wohl schönste Event der letzten Woche, war die Houseparty am Samstag, bei einer guten Freundin von uns. Es waren unglaublich viele Leute da und wir tanzten zu guter Musik, aßen superleckeres Essen und tranken sehr leckere Drinks (das wohl Wichtigste bei einer Party). Ich hatte eine Menge Spaß und durfte neben guten alten Freunden auch neue kennenlernen. Es war ein echt schöner Abend und das Beste daran war, dass wir am Sonntag dann ausschlafen konnten! :) 

New In: Naja wirklich neu ist dieses Teil nicht in meiner Sammlung. Vor ein Paar Wochen wanderte nämlich die tolle Hallhuber Ledertasche in meinem Schrank. Sie sieht der Metropolis von Frugal zum verwechseln ähnlich. Meine ist nur etwas größer, weshalb ich sie auch so toll Finde. Si hat die perfekte Größe für das Nötigste und sieht im klassischen schwarzen Leder auch noch super schick aus. Am liebsten mag ich das goldene Schnallendetail, es gibt der Tasche nochmal einen luxuriösen Touch. Seitdem ich sie besitze, habe ich sie wirklich täglich getragen. Ungelogen. Da einige von euch mich jedoch darauf aufmerksam gemacht haben, dass sie nun leider ausverkauft ist, habe ich euch hier ein ähnliches Modell herausgesucht.

Pläne: Vor nicht allzu langer Zeit, bekam ich ein sehr aufregendes Angebot. Die coolen Girls vom BLONDE Magazin haben mich nämlich gefragt, ob sie mich in ihrer kommenden Ausgabe featuren dürfen. Ich habe natürlich JA gesagt. Ganz klar! Ich bin ein großer Fans des Magazins und finde, dass es unheimlich inspirierend ist, sich ihre Fotostrecken anzusehen und über kreative Leute zu lesen, die ihr eigenes Ding machen. Genaueres darf ich euch bisher leider nicht erzählen. Nur, dass die Ausgabe wohl im März rauskommt. Ich halte euch aber definitiv auf dem Laufenden. Auf jede Fall ist es für mich eine große Ehre bald in diesem tollem Magazin zu sein. Ich bin super aufgeregt und kann es nicht erwarten mit euch mehr über dieses tolle Projekt zu teilen.
