Welcome to my very own wish list for May 2025!
For me, May is like a pre-summer promise: The days are getting longer, my mood is lighter, and suddenly I feel like rethinking everything—my wardrobe, my home, my calendar. It feels like a mini-reset in the middle of the year. And that’s exactly what’s reflected in my wishlist. So here’s a glimpse into my heart (and my shopping cart)—with everything I currently love, need, or simply desire.
☀️ Fashion mood:
“ lightness, but make it chic „
I’m totally into the „clean but playful“ look right now. You know what I mean – white oversized shirts that look like they were snatched from my boyfriend on a whim (I did, thanks to my husband), paired with miniskirts or wide-legged pants. Add chunky sandals or loafers with socks. I swear, I feel like the main character in a Scandinavian indie film.
Wishlist piece: A linen two-piece in off-white from Arket – so simple, so elegant. And honestly, linen is simply the fabric of the summer. Yes, it wrinkles. But that’s just its nature.

🧴 Beauty favorites:
“ Glowy, but effortless „
I’m currently in my „no-makeup-makeup“ era, but with a glow like I meditate in Bali every morning. Spoiler alert: I don’t. But I’ve found two products that get the job done.
1. Skin tint instead of foundation:
I’m currently totally in love with the new „Honey Glazed“ Skin Tint from NYX. It gives a beautiful natural glow and is perfect for everyday wear and feels lite on your skin.

2. A peach cream blush:
I’m currently obsessing over Glossier’s „Cloud Paint“ in the color Beam. It looks like „I was just out and about and had a great experience“—even if I was just at Billa (supermarket).

📚 Currently reading
– and no, no self-help
I’ve resolved to read more this year. But not all those „How to be a Girlboss“ books. Instead, I’ll read real stories. With emotion, depth, and sometimes just plain drama.
Recommendation: „Onyx Storm“ by Tanya Byrne. Absolutely addictive – dark, poetic, and at the same time incredibly sensitive.

🏠 Home Vibes:
Small things, big impact
You know that feeling when you change a small decor and suddenly your whole apartment looks brand new? Same.
New addition:
Shell bowls from H&M Home. So beautiful as a jewelry holder or simply as a little highlight on the coffee table. Or use it like me mostly for pictures for my instagram or pinterest.

And another game-changer:
The „Einklang“ scented candle by Looops (from Salzburg!). It smells wonderfully natural – like mountain meadows, tranquility, and summer evenings. I’m officially addicted.

🎧 Soundtrack of my life
(this month)
In May (or rather, at the end of April) there was an absolute highlight: the Shirin David concert in Vienna! Since then, I’ve been listening to one song on repeat.

🌿 Little escapes from everyday life
– Sitting on the Danube Canal (Donaukanal) and doing nothing
– Drinking an aperitivo with friends (even if it’s just a Hugo on a park bench)
– Get an iced matcha once a week in the morning and pretend I’m in Brooklyn
Sounds banal, but these are the things that are really good for me right now.
🛍️ On the wishlist
(aka soon in my shopping cart)
So, that’s it – my small, exquisite wishlist for May. Maybe there’s something for you, too. And honestly: sometimes it doesn’t take much to get inspired again. A little fresh air in your closet, a new song in your ears, a good book on your bedside table – and suddenly everything feels a little more like „I’m back to myself.“
What’s on your wishlist right now? Let me know on Instagram or write me a short mail – I love getting new inspiration from you!
See you soon,
Vani ✨
