I have come down with the flu, so I have more time than usual to think about random stuff… like how to celebrate Valentine’s Day! It falls on a week day – not only that, but on a day when...
I hate winter. Ok, maybe I don’t hate it hate it… except when I do. Like now. After a relatively mild holiday season, temperatures have taken quite a dive in Switzerland (in all of Europe...
When I first visited Mackenzie’s blog a few weeks ago, it was love at first sight. Not only does she have impeccable taste (and she really does!) but there is a charming, down-to-earth quality...
In my living room, I have a New York shelf. It is home to books and TV series taking place in NYC, as well as a framed black & white photo of a lovely corner of Central Park and a paper diorama m...
Traveling: no actual traveling this month, but definitely some travel inspiration. Wearing: believe it or not… beige. Craving: sunshine, warmth… yellow. Also, statement necklaces and the...
Yeah… that would be me. Whoops. Mind you, beige can be boring. It is entirely possible to make neutrals boring – beige by no means has the exclusive on that, you can also do it with black, navy...
If you know me personally or if you have been reading this blog for any length of time, you no doubt know how much I love traveling. Source: etsy.com via Elisa on Pinterest Do you remember what it fe...
After a fairly mild Holiday Season, the temperatures have dropped here, and you know how I feel about that. To be fair, we did have a few days of sun, but it was so cold that it prompted Stella’...

I got this award from my fellow Swiss expat and bloggy friend Linda, and a while back from the lovely Erin– thank you ladies! The rules dictate that I: AWARD RULES: 1. Link back to the person who ga...
I want it all I want it all I want it all And I want it NOW! sang the Queen. And this is exactly how I feel about the upcoming Target collaboration with Jason Wu. I could tell you how talented I thin...
As an island girl, winter always feels waaaay too long to me. Granted, I also live in a country where winters are pretty long. And cold. And dark, and gloomy. Frankly, when I wake up on the average w...
Source: printpattern.blogspot.com via Jeanne on Pinterest Ah, here it is, the new year. Welcome, 2012! Looking good. And so, true to form, I have been working on my New Year Resolutions. 2011 was a p...
I am by no means a pro, but I really do enjoy taking photos, and each one has a memory attached to it, so I enjoy looking at them again just as much. Here are a few favorites from the past year: tak...
“One’s man trash is another man’s treasure”. You’ve heard that before, right? There are so many people who can turn old junk into something lovely: an old coffee table b...
A great hostess can be as tough to shop for as a beauty queen: she probably pays as much attention to her home as the beauty queen pays to her make-up; someone who makes home entertaining into an art...
Some days you have to fight your way out of bed. It’s cold outside, maybe even one of those hateful dark, gloomy, grey late fall days, and you have a long to-do list and little patience. Some d...
Without a doubt one of the girly girls, the beauty queen can be hard to shop for. After all, how do you top anything she might already have bought for herself? The trick is to focus on two things no ...
By now you have no doubt heard of Pinterest, where you get to save photos of everything beautiful ranging from delicious food to wedding bouquets and from haircuts and hairdos to photography tips, an...
OPI Ink is without a doubt my favorite nail polish shade. It’s a very dark purple, with a hint of blue and subtle purple, silver and blue glitter. I think it looks especially good with black, b...
If summer in Zurich is all about festivals, fall and winter are all about fairs and exhibitions. Zurich looooves hosting fairs. There’s a fair for all tastes: shopping, wine, travel, motorcycle...
Blame it on Pinterest or on The Girls With Glasses, but sequins and shimmery things have really grown on me in the past few months. I have been looking at and craving all sorts of shimmery, sparkly, ...
Attending the last evening of Fashion Days Zurich was a real treat: live music and fashion combined, what could be better? The evening started with Oakley showing its latest collection, much of it in...
Of course I care about kids’ fashion – I am a mom, after all. But maybe not enough to read Vogue Kids regularly, or until now, not enough to attend a kids’ fashion show. That all changed ...
Among the various Swiss cantons, Graubünden is probably my favorite. It may have something to do with the fact that it’s where my husband’s family is from, so it’s where I saw the S...
It is finally over. Not that I have anything against October, but it wasn’t the easiest month to get through. Sascha was gone for 3 weeks, which made two weeks of fall break a bit of a drag, es...
… a little award I got from a lovely local expat logger, Emma, who also happens to be a fellow book worm – in fact Emma and I met a few months ago at the book swap, so unlike what usually happ...
Some fall days are made to go out and just be out. Just to enjoy being outdoors, enjoy a sunny day without the sweltering heat, and especially walk through a lovely park while it’s still luscio...
