Life and Style

I. My favorite Maison Common piece:

Oh, I can´t even choose! There are so many terrific pieces from Maison Common. I like clothes that are classic but not ordinary, with a hint of extravagance. I adore the perfectly fitting blazers and the skirts which always offer something special. For example a print or the fabric is embroidered by hand. Last but not least, there are the coats that I just love!

II. What I love about my job:

I get to meet so many lovely people every day. I love the variety in my job and getting to do deal with such great products.

III. My outfit as a “working girl”:

As a fashion blogger, I daily decide what to wear based on my mood. I can try new things and combine styles differently. Sometimes colorful, sometimes monochrome!

IV. A movie/book that I most definitely recommend:

Probably everyone is watching “Inventing Anna” right now. What I think is very inspiring in a fashion way is the Netflix series “Mad Men”.

I am currently reading the book “The grandchild” written by Bernhard Schlink.

V. My next travel destination:

London

VI. The most beautiful place in the world:

For me that is “Les Hauts de Beauvallon” located in southern France. There you have the most stunning view at the Golfe de St.-Tropez and the open sea. This is my paradise and an oasis of tranquility.

VII. Confidence is…

…feeling well, being at peace with oneself and with the world, and simply being content.

VIII. I recently had a laughing fit, because…

I can´t think of anything specific right now, but I enjoy laughing in general. Also, I laugh about myself a lot.

IX. I can´t resist…

…when seeing licorice…or beautiful shoes or…!

X. A facet of my character that matches my zodiac sign:

I am Gemini and in fact, I am very curious, interested in anything and have versatile interests.

XI. A female role model:

Oh, they are countless! Linda Fargo, Iris Apfel, Coco Chanel…

XII. My personal life motto:

Think positive!
