As we all know quite well since the first day of business school: You can’t reach your full potential unless you challenge yourself!

29 Something Life: The unsexy post
Well first of all: Just because someone needs to say goodbye to his/her twenties, doesn´t mean that your days of stylish sexiness stop here. But, let´s face it – the “Sturm and Drang” period is over. No one wants to suffer from cold feet any longer, which you caught whilst waiting in line to…
Grandpa/Grandma inspired Vintage Style
“Style is something each of us already has, all we need to do is find it” (Diane v. Fürstenberg)”… …and sometimes it might even help to look through your family photo albums, doesn’t it? Ask for your old family porcelain which for sure is kept in a secret place called “the attic” and host…

“Every day I look at the world from my window. But chilly, chilly is evening time, Waterloo sunset’s fine.

What to wear: It’s Friday…

What to wear: Disco Inferno!!!
Every Once in a while “Disco” finds its way back in Mainstream: In the 90’s it shortly lived up thanks to Moloko’s Clubhit “Sing it back”, in the 2000’s “Goldfrapp” appeared on the radar and 2013, “Daft Punk” really managed to put Disco and Funk back on the track. No need to hide and seek:…
