You all know by now I was in the Austrian Alps (again) this late summer (read about it here). Ans lwt mw tell you, early September in the mountains is unpredictable. One minute you’re hiking under a warm, sunny sky, the next you’re ducking into a café to escape a sudden downpour. That’s why knowing what to wear in the…
Sölden isn’t new to me. I had visited before in July, when the days felt summery, bright, and alive. Even then, there were pockets of rain, but the sun dominated, warming afternoon hikes and energising café terraces. Visiting Sölden in late August, however, was a completely different experience.

Maybe you’ve outgrown your teenage look, or you’re in a better place financially and want your clothes to reflect that. Perhaps you’ve realised your boho phase no longer fits who you are, and you’re leaning more towards a minimalist vibe.…
If you’re in Venice and not diving into cicchetti, you’re honestly missing the real heart of the city. Forget the tourist traps and overpriced menus. The true Venetian food scene happens standing up, with a small glass of wine in hand and a plate of mouthwatering little bites.
