The last couple of days have been very rich in emotions. That’s the least to say! Ever since we left to New York fashion week this February, we haven’t been able to really settle down properly anywhere. I am used to come back in Switzerland in between every trip, to unpack, refresh, do some laundry, catch up with my family… But since my new home is Los Angeles now, things have been a bit different. Moving is a big deal. Especially when it’s so far away. For months, we’ve been doing back and forth trips to L.A, getting to know the city better, the people, the environment and slowly, I started feeling like I belonged there. It began feeling like a home. Except that we were living between Air Bnb’s and hotel rooms.
Imagine yourself : 10 suitcases packed with stuff that got Fiona and I through February until now, mid April. All of this wrapped up with the idea of moving constantly from one place to another. Life has basically been packing, un packing, checking in, checking out, leaving our luggages in deposit and loosing all attachment to leave somewhere new again. Whether it’s China one day, or Paris the other one. So I won’t hide, it’s been kind of a whirl of emotions, the impression of feeling almost a bit lost sometimes because of all this instability. All we wanted was to find a little cozy next in L.A where we can finally settle down. The problem is, when you look for your first apartment, well you’re aiming for that dream place that you’ve been imagining in your wildest dreams ever since you’re a kid. So we kept visiting and visiting new places without ever having a crush… Until yesterday when we finally found it!!!
There it was, luminous, fresh and ready for us to start out new life in! I was dying of excitement when I saw it. It feels like such a big deal to have a new address and think that I don’t live with my parents anymore. Also feels really cool to know that my first place is in L.A!! I mean, common, how seriously awesome is that!? And now, all I can think about is how will I decorate it!?
Congrats on finding your first place in LA! I just moved here about a month and half ago and I had to go through finding an apartment which would meet all of my requirements and be on the right location, the only one that I wanted to live in.
It's been though process, but fortunately very quick and successful one.
I'm also almost done decorating my place so if you need some suggestions on where to look for furniture and home decor, I can def. recommend you to check out Z Gallerie, Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, Floor Plan and West Elm. They have all proved to be an amazing choice for me.
It must be very interesting & eye opening to be constantly travelling though, even when it may exhausting sometimes. Love the photos. That bed does look very inviting and relaxing.
Amazing photos! Good luck with the moving!
Beautiful photographs! I was wondering what lenses were being used for the photographs featured in this article?
I couldn't imagine moving around so much like that!! Good thing you have Fiona to help you and keep you going :) gorgeous as always, Kristina!
Sounds like your life has been a real whirlwind lately! But you look amazing! I love your makeup like that! These are such great basic pieces! I want all of them!
I hope this new stage in your life makes you grow to more than it already've done these years, I can not believe how much you've evolved and the goals you have accomplished! I'm a big fan of not only photos, but that of your blog, your team always supports you in all your purposes! you have good luck!
Gorgeous photos <3 I don't know how you do it - travel all the time. I have only had a few times where we jumped from hotel to hotel and I wasn't able to handle so much moving. Glad to hear you found home in LA! It's a great city to settle down, if only for a bit!
Great images, so happy for your accomplishments. I had an amazing time at Coachella...thank you for showing me that it is an amazing experience! Hope to meet you in Switzerland!
Stunning images, I love how simple and clean they are!
Keep up the good, positive work.
wow! Congrats for this amazing new. I think that you're amazing women and Fiona too.
So glad you finally found your dream place!
Loved reading this update post! Can't wait for the many projects to come!
That place looks pretty cool. I don't think you could've found a much better nest to stay in. Can't wait to hear more about your music and new place!
Gorgeous natural look! The hotel looks like such a dream land.
That's exciting news about finding your new home! Definitely will be more settled there! I love this outfit too, the shirt is so gorgeous and I LOVE those shoes more and more every time you wear them!
You look great but there are quite a lot of mistakes in the text. I read your texts all the time and this one is full of mistakes. You should check them before posting even if You were tired that night.
Wishing you all the best, dear!
You look stunning! In love with the photos!
Easy and super chic outfit. These black ripped jeans are so rock and they look amazing in the contrast with the classic white shirt. Those sandals are really beautiful, the style is simple and fresh, they are wonderful.
The second look with these incredible white pants is my favorite, the cream crop top is fantastic and the outfit is perfect. The Celine bag in white is pure love, it's one of my favorites brands and their bags are my obsession.
Congratulations on finding an apartment you like and finally being able to settle down :) I can imagine how uncertain and difficult it must be to constantly be packin up and shifting. Can't wait to hear more about your home deco and new house stories!
Les photos sont magnifiques! Je suis contente que tu ai enfin trouver une maison à toi, ça ne doit pas toujours être facile de vivre d'hôtel en hôtel.
Hâte d'en découvrir plus sur tes projets de musiques!
Ohh I can imagine.. I already feel like a gypsy because I've not been living at one place for longer than 9 months lately, because of studying, study abroad, masters, internships... On the other hand; it does enrich you so much as well. But I totally recognize the feeling that you cannot feel 'home' anywhere, never totally comfortable, etc. So glad you found a home in LA now! Can't wait to see it, congrats!
You look stunning, love your jeans !
Love the all white look and the shirt with the ripped jeans look great!
I know you`ve heard this a miliion times already but you are definitely someone to look up to. I`m swiss and the same age as you and you keep inspiring me to work harder and believe inn dreams. Thank you for that and all the best for your future.
The first own home is always something BIG, something special!
Enjoy you time dear and don't stop moving on!
Amazing pictures! I LOVE the total white look! So beautiful!
Good luck with the moving in! I hope you three will be happy there, in LA!

Congrats on finding the new place!! So exciting to have a place of your own now, I'm 18 and my first place is the apartment I moved to in Paris from LA. The sense of freedom is just incredible!
Your hair is amazing. Life goals.
Great pictures! And Congrats to your new place!
Yay! Knowing that finding the right apartment can be so hard. I'm so happy for you.
I have been a long follower of your blog, and recently I noticed a slight exhaustion creeping into your portraits. Hopefully the settling down and new place can help diminish that.
Congrats on getting your first place in LA, I want to move to US next year or so and I would be beyond happy to get my first place in LA!
such a lovely written post!
Amazing outfits! Love the black jeans!
I love your blog! You are such a fashion inspiration to me and you motivate me on following what my hearts says <3 Your blog is amazing and I have so much fun when I read whatever it is that you write.
I've got a question... I love your silver necklace and I believe it has stars... Where did you get it!? I NEED to get my hands on that one!
Loved this post, keep it up! Wishing you all the very bet in LA and the music career!
In love with those black jeans and those heels are fantastic!! You inspire me so much!!
Great shots, white suits you good!
Great outfit, my faves are the black jeans!
Really amazing! Love the natural make up!
Love the loose fit and asymmetrical style of the white shirt, really cool design! It's great that you have the opportunity to venture into music and work with great people, keep up the good work!
Beautiful pics, you look stunning!
I think at some point I'd go crazy with that life! Although, you must be having the best time ever, so much fun and new experiences... the hotel looks really cool, and you are lovely with less make up and looking just awake!
Here my latest post about how Coachella is boosting relations between Fashion brands and social influencers.
Congratulations on finding a new place, this is such an exciting time in your life! You look absolutely stunning in these photos, like always! Can't wait to hear your new music and see what's coming next.

Loving the closet omg ! Keep up the good work !
congratulations, that sounds so good! i would love to move to LA someday with my best friend. and the pictures are lovely like allways!
Looks wonderful, enjoy sunny LA! I can relate to the feeling of traveling too much so you don't get the "home" feeling. That's why it's so nice to hear that you are more or less settled down.
I love this look. It's perfectly polished yet casual!
NEW POST OF COACHELLA LOOKS!
Can't WAIT to see how you decorate your LA pad. Wishing you a quick & easy move in!
In love with sun! So cool!
Where is your collared top from? I was hoping that I'll find out where you got that from. It's EXACTLY what I've been looking for! Please provide a link with the product.
And congratulations on finding your new home in LA! I'm a LA local so I know how amazing this city is. If you're up for a cultural experience, visit Koreatown in the heart of LA. The food there is absolutely amazing and I would love to show you and your team around! Please email me if that's something you'd be interested in. I would love to meet you as well and pick your brain on fashion, blogging, and life.
Thanks, and keep up the beautiful posts!!
Une amie t'a consacré un tumblr @Kayture !
Love the look Kristina!! It must have been interesting living in a hotel for a while, but awesome that you finally found a permanent place! Wish you the best!
Wait what? How can you always carry 10 suitcases with you :o ^^ No, you probably have great support.
I glad you finally found your perfect first apartment! Must have been pretty stressful to always be in moving mode. I can definitely imagine how you feel about how you want to decorate the apartment. Already now I'm thinking of how I'll want to style my apartment even though I'm not yet looking for one :') I'm very interested how you're gonna decorate your apartment in the end! I believe your singing is not as bad that the neighbors couldn't get any rest! I'm really looking forward to hearing the first song of you!
Both of those outfits look great! But the only white one looks very special to me! I don't know but it kinda looks pure and just lovely!
Such a great white top, love the whole outfit.
Absolutely beautiful. I love the crisp white shirt.
I'm so glad to hear you move into your first appartment! Expecially in L.A ! wooo! Life is good to you! You deserve it, you worked so hard for this.
My complimentens about your blog and congratulations of finding a new place. Really nice to read your stories. It gives an insight of your life, work and you as a person. I really like to see you also try to react on a lot of comments. In my opinion it says something about your commitment towards your public. I also think the blog is a really good marketing method.
Love your style and posts!
The photos are very beautiful!!! White is my favorite color when sun is up.
Hello Kristina, I´m brazillian and my english is not so good, so forgive me for any mistake. I really like your blog and follow you on the other social medias for a while, but I never wrote a comment here. I think you´re an amazing inspiration, not just for your style but because you seems to be a great person, a dreamer and perseverant one. When I read this post, I feel curious about one thing. You said that you need to take care of your voice carefully and lately, and this really interest me, because I work with theatre. Can you do I short post about how you cares of your voice and body, like an artist? Good luck in your job, travels and new life. You´re awesome.
Looks incredible!! And I love the contrast between refined and messy in your outfit, really beautiful.
Love the sandals too much!
I am so happy for you! You are such an inspiration and always so sweet and positive! Thank you for sharing some personal aspects of your life and I wish you the best always! Gorgeous pictures of The Sixty Hotel, I live in the area but haven't been to this hotel yet, look forward to visiting sometime!
Fall in love with the white bag! Love the sandals too!
I have always been obsessed with your shoes, where'd you get 'em!
