Hello, and Welcome to My Blog

Hi, I’m Christine, a Munich/Germany-based blogger and content creator. I’m a woman who values quality, simplicity, elegance, and style.

Find here inspiration, tips, and guides to build a well-curated wardrobe and live a simply elegant life.

If this is what you’re looking for, welcome. Let’s take this journey together!

My Story

The idea for lessbutluxe.com was born in the aftermath of a burnout and significant life change. I had worked in marketing for over two decades before I found myself in a role that wasn’t for me. In previous positions, I had gone through times of frustration and uncertainty too. But this time was different. I was no longer able to power through. So I plucked up the courage to resign and left corporate life to freelance and write.

This move gave me the freedom to rethink my life as a whole. I figured that the signs of burnout and depression hadn’t accumulated because of something that was missing. I had been stressed and overwhelmed because of having too much of everything. Too many choices, too many tasks, too many things to take care of. So I decided to declutter and simplify my life and find new ways to add value to it.

The No. 1 Rule I Live by Every Day

When I started my journey, I felt I need some guidance. I found it in a simple yet effective rule. And this rule is to always choose quality over quantity. As a result, I can enjoy all that I have and pursue – a beautiful home, a well-curated, quality wardrobe, fulfilling activities, rewarding connections, and so much more. But without adding clutter, complexity, or stress to my life.

Why I Blog in English

I’m often asked why I blog in English. It’s indeed a lot more challenging than writing in my mother tongue – and occasionally challenging for my readers, too, I suppose. I’m glad there is software like Grammarly that helps me write better and make fewer mistakes.

Anyway, it’s absolutely worth the extra effort because writing in English provides a unique opportunity to connect with inspiring people like you – no matter where in the world you are.
