Weekly Update #4

Review: Wow another week is almost over and it's been a long one. I've been really ill last week so apart from staying in bed my week consisted of drinking numerous litres of ginger tea, dressing ridiculously warm, even when inside and watching Netflix and in bed.
Anyways, I finally received my Otto.de order and was able to show you a little room tour at last. I also used my time to prepare for Fashion Week which is just around the corner. Even though I'm not going to attend many shows, simply because I don't feel like it, I can't wait for the off site events and parties. Luckily I'll go to most of them with my dear Jacky so that should be super fun. Therefore  next week should be much more exciting and I'll probably have a lot more to tell.

Event of the week: Both my sister and my Mum are back in town. My sister is visiting from London and actually leaving today. And my Mum came back from a month of sun in Uganda. So these were quite the events last week. My sister will be back at the end of the month which should be fun. We spent most time working on an exciting project she's currently planning and I can't wait to continue doing so when she's back! 

New In: I recently got a new watch. Yes, another one. I know I have quite a selection now, but seriously every single one of them is different and fits to different outfits. So my new favorite wrist companion is this stunning white and gold watch  from Klarf with a mash strap. I loved wearing it all week and will hopefully have some time to shoot with it properly soon. Maybe during Fashion Week. Stay tuned. In the meantime get yours here.

Plans: Since Berlin Fashion Week is quickly approaching, my next week will be filled with a few runway shows, events and other fun happenings. I especially look forward to the breakfast and brunch events where it's alway best to socialize and get to know people. Some of the new collections I'm excited to see on the runway are those of Kilian Kerner, Marina Hoermanseder, Odeur Studios and Marcel Ostertag. I'll take you with me of course and will also try to snap much more. What are your plans for next week?

DE:

Rückblick: Wow und schon wieder ist eine Woche rum. Es war eine ziemlich lange Woche, die ich hauptsächlich im Bett verbracht habe, da ich sehr erkältet war. Mein Woche bestand darin Unmengen Liter an Ingwertee zu trinken, mich sogar zu Haue superwarm anzuziehen und im Bett Netflix zu schauen. Das einzig Gute an der ganzen Sache war, dass ich meine Pakete selbst annehmen konnte. In einem der vielen Pakete die letzte Woche ankamen, befand sich meine letzte Bestellung von Otto. Endlich konnte ich euch dann eine kleine Roomtour geben. Als es mir langsam besser ging, nutzte ich meine Zeit um mich auf die kommende Fashion Week vorzubereiten. Die meisten Shows werde ich wieder nicht besuchen, einfach weil mich die meisten Designer überhaupt nicht interessieren, dafür freue mich aber schon auf einige coole Events. Vor allem freue ich  mich auch, diese mit meiner lieben Jacky besuchen zu dürfen. Daher könnt ihr auf den Rückblick der nächsten Woche gespannt sein. Da wird es sicher sehr viel zur erzählen geben.

Event der Woche: Meine Mama und meine Schwester sind beide letztes Wochenende wieder in Berlin angekommen. Meine Schwester ist aus London zu Besuch und reist heute leider auch schon wieder ab und meine Mama ist nach einem Monat voller Sonne in Uganda, auch wieder in der Stadt. Ich freue mich schon wenn meine Schwester am Ende des Monats wieder kommt. Das sollte wieder sehr lustig werden. Dieses Mal haben wir die meiste Zeit nämlich damit verbracht, an ihrem neuem und sehr aufregenden Projekt zu arbeiten. Ich kann es kaum erwarten viele tolle Dinge für das Projekt in die Tat umzusetzen. 

New In: Ich habe kürzlich eine neue Uhr bekommen. Ja, schon wieder. Ich weiß, mittlerweile habe ich eine ganze Sammlung an Uhren, aber sie sind alle unterschiedlich und können zu verschieden en Outfits kombiniert werden. Naja also meine neue Lieblingsuhr ist eine tolle weiß-goldene von Klarf. Ich hab sie letzte Woche bestimmt jeden Tag getragen und werde sie für euch hoffentlich noch richtig abfotografieren können. Bleibt also weiter gespannt! In der Zwischenzeit könnt ihr sie euch hier kaufen.

Pläne: Wie schon erwähnt steht ja nächste Woche wieder die Fashion Week vor der Tür. Deshalb wird die kommende Woche sehr ereignisreich und ich werde sie damit verbringen mir einige Shows anzuschauen und coole Events zu besuchen. Ich freue mich vor allem auf einige tolle Frühstücks und Brunch Events, weil diese immer eine tolle Gelegenheit zum networken bieten. Einige neue Kollektionen auf die ich mich freue, sind die von Kilian Kerner, Marina Hoermanseder, Odeur Studios und Marcel Ostertag. Ich werde euch natürlich überall mitnehmen und die Woche auch viel mehr snappen als sonst. Versprochen! Was sind eure Pläne für die nächste Woche?

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!
