MY ALL-TIME THERAPY

I just came back from my extended weekend in Vienna yesterday. I mentioned in one of my last

posts, that I'm starting to feel comfortable here already. That's why I don't understand, why I 

always feel kinda sad and almost a little bit depressed when I'm leaving Vienna. Yesterday, 

when I was waiting at the gate for boarding, I was on the verge of tears already. The only thing

that helps me to calm down in such situations is music. 

It has to be the right kind of music though. What kind of music do I listen to? It really depends on

my mood. Well, yesterday I needed something smooth, so I put my slow jam playlist on play.

Headphones on - world off. As I was taking off, I felt a little weary of being sad about the fact, that I

was leaving my hometown again. The last messages I received,  before I put my phone on airplane 

mode, from my mother and my friends – even if they made me laugh – made it even harder, not to

be sad this time. 

As the music gets louder, my heartbeat slows down a little bit. I close my eyes, look out the 

window and fall asleep. I wake up and the plane just landed in Berlin. I press pause and feel a lot

better. 

I'm not sure what it is, but music always has been the best therapy for me. I find myself lying in my 

bed – at least for 15 minutes before I go to bed or even during the day – everyday, just doing 

nothing and listening to music, just to get rid of all the bad vibes I have. 

What is your best therapy?

END OF SUMMER

Summer is over and I'm so not ready to prepare for the cold days yet. That's why I'm still trying 

to wear my end-of-summer-looks, when there is the one or other warm day. This time I went for

a denim jumpsuit and paired it with a black leather jacket. 

Actually, I bought this jumpsuit, because it looked similar to the one that my mother bought for me

when I was about 4 years old. She also had one and it was a mother-daughter-matchy kinda thing. 

I wish I could post this photo too, so you guys could see it, but unfortunately I left it in Vienna. I love

going through old pictures. The garments my mom would wear, back in the days, were so unique and 

classy. 

Anyways, I have to admit, that I get kinda lazy when it comes to blogging here in Berlin. Still, I want

to try to keep it up though. Not sure, why I have this loss of motivation right now. I also don't want 

to force myself to post something, when I don't feel like it. I realized that sometimes, it's better to 

enjoy and savour some moments, not thinking about if the pictures and your content are good enough

to publish it. I just came back from a little VIE-get-away and I feel a little exhausted and sad.
I'll tell you more about my personal medicine for my little down-moments in tomorrow's post!

TO WEAR IS NOT ENOUGH

Es ist unglaublich, wie schnell die Zeit vergeht. Wie ihr gleich sehen werdet, sind die Fotos dieses 

Blogposts etwas älter. Um genau zu sein, entstanden diese Aufnahmen bei der Shirty 2013, als ich 

für City & Life vor Ort war, und die JungdesignerInnen vor Ort interviewte. Daher freut es mich 

umso mehr, zwei Jahre später selbst in der Blogging Sektion der Shirty, aufzuscheinen. Das komplette

Interview könnt ihr hier nachlesen. 

Ich kann mich noch zu gut erinnern, wie ich vor 2 Jahren ein Look & Feel der Shirty Fashion Fair

festgehalten habe. Daher macht es mich umso trauriger, aufgrund meines Umzuges, dieses Jahr nicht

persönlich vor Ort sein zu können. Für alle, die für den 25. - 27. September noch auf der Suche nach

 einem  potenziellen Freizeitprogramm sind: Schaut doch einfach mal vorbei! Was euch erwartet?

Dazu gleich mehr.

Hier vorerst mal noch ein Paar Schnappschüsse von 2013 (zum Beitrag geht's hier lang)

Ich habe 2013 mit Katja den ganzen Tag dort verbracht. Langweilig wurde uns eigentlich nicht. 

Selbst wenn wir mal nicht am Runden drehen waren, haben wir uns mit einem Bier gemütlich 

in die Liegestühle fallen lassen , und gemütlich zur Musik entspannt. Auch dieses Jahr ist für Essen,

Getränke und gechillte Atmosphäre gesorgt. Samstag gibt's von 12.00 bis 20.00 im Innenhof 

etwas zu Futtern, und am Sonntag von 11.00 bis 19.00.

Allerdings hat sich in den zwei Jahren auch schon viel getan, und das Programm bietet mittlerweile

deutlich mehr. Dieses Jahr soll am Samstag um 17 Uhr im Innenhof die erste Freerunning 

Modenschau Österreichs stattfinden. Was man sich genau drunter vorstellen kann? Akrobatische 

Einlagen und Sprünge, kombiniert mit der Präsentation der neusten Kollektionen der AusstellerInnen.

Wer vor Ort sein wird, kann gerne ein Video machen und mich auf Imstagram unter @onefauxseven

markieren, oder auch gerne auf Snapchat unter @yasmeendabu adden. Denn ich würde zu gern 

sehen, was ich da verpasse!

Da ich beim Accor Hotel Event den Workshop von Vienna Wedekind verpasst habe, hätte ich 

diesmal vermutlich die Chance genutzt daran teilzunehmen. Carola von Vienna Wedekind bietet

am Sonntag von 14.00 bis 18.00 Uhr am Messegelände im Projektraum einen Modeblogging

Workshop an. Wer daran teilnehmen will, sollte sich jedoch voranmelden. Einfach eine

E-Mail an info@shirty-austria.com mit dem Betreff Vienna Wedekind. Mit 20 Euro pro 

teilnehmender Person seid ihr dabei. 

Zu den weiteren Programmpunkten, wie Live Painting durch Siebdruckverfahren uvm geht's 

hier lang: Programm

Ich wünsche allen viel Spaß auf der Shirty, und freue mich auf ein Paar Snaps, IG Videos und
Berichte von euch. 

Soweit so gut. Ich sende euch liebe Grüße aus Berlin und hoffe beim nächsten Mal wieder

dabei zu sein!

LOST ?

Lost? Hell yeah! A few weeks ago, I was. New city, new people, new work space.

And now? I'm still not sure if Berlin is my city. But probably that's because I haven't seen a lot if

it yet. I've been here for two months now and I did not really have the time to explore Berlin. 

 But what I know for sure so far is, that I am happy to do what I always dreamed of. Working for

a magazine. 

I've always complained how stressful working in a hotel can be. Working for a magazine brings the 

stress level to a whole 'nother level. But in a good way. It's not that kinda stress that makes me cry

myself to sleep. It's not that kinda stress that makes me forget to have my meals or forget what day it is. 

It's that kinda stress that keeps you busy.

That kinda stress that makes you proud when you can check-off a task on your to-do-list. 

 

So far I dare to say, that I consider staying here for a while.

 I noticed, that being lost made me grow. Though, there's another thing I also realized. Even if I

would still describe myself as an outgoing person, I am not the same person I was before anymore. 

Not that loud, little, sassy girl I was, when I took the plane to Berlin 2 months ago. I find myself way 

too serious in some situations. Being lost changed me. Moving 

to Berlin caused that change. I am more withdrawn into myself and I am pretty sure that I left a part of me in Vienna.
And I hope that I will find that missing part here pretty soon. I think that I'm on a 

good way.

 

  

I think my time in Berlin can be compared to a hike deep in the woods wearing the wrong shoes.

It takes little steps to move forward. Further, wearing heels in the woods are way too noisy and most

of all: uncomfortable. It kills the relaxing vibe. So in the end, you decide to take them off and make

the rest of the way without them. Even if on the way it might hurt. I took my shoes off and left my 

them in Vienna. I left the missing part of me there. The part that makes me complete. The one that

I only was able to build over the years with the help of other people that surrounded me. 

Without

my heels I am not that tall, not that loud. My heels lift me high. Those people lifted me higher than
I ever imagined. But it's time to look for a new pair of heels – for new people that help me find a 

new piece of me that makes me feel like the same person. The person that I was before – but with

a little twist and something new.
