Comfy Suiting

Posted by Tanja Seidl on

Still quite new at T&tStories ... my GG Suit that now comes in 4 different fabrics and might be a beautiful, very comfortable alternative for the classic blazer - pants combination. Either worn as a sleek two-piece ... with a light turtleneck underneath or just pants with blouse or top GLEN teamed with any other bottom ... there will be many possibilities to wear the new "CHECKS MARONE" pattern. I didn't have the time yet to show you different styling options .. Just picked up the suit from my production ... promise to photograph looks very soon :)

On the picture below I wear it with leo booties, brown lambswool coat by Sandra Crasemann and vintage bag (from Vintage Love Munich / many years old).

The suit comes in sizes 34 to 40 and is available online here.

The flannel family is growing ...

After shirt Ayline in Winter 2021 and the GG Suit this season, I now added another piece to the T&tStories FLANNEL family ... skirt LYNN that comes in a super soft & light wool quality and looks effortless chic paired with ripp tights in the same color (by Falke), simple black turtleneck and a leo coat. My platform pumps are by Prada and almost vintage ... many years old.

Chiva-Som Health & Wellness Resort

Posted by Tanja Seidl on

While it is already snowing quietly here in Munich, I like to remember the last days of our Thailand trip, where we were guests in one of the most beautiful Health & Wellness Resorts ever ... The Chiva-Som . Chiva-Som is just an approximately 3 hours drive south of Bangkok ... rather small with only 54 room and Thai Pavillons surrounded by a tropical paradise. 

                                           Open Lobby & Thai Pavillion

The wonderful, Thai hospitality is again felt here within in the first minutes ... the entire staff seems to know me personally on the first day, which actually impressed me extraordinarily. Fortunately, I can say that I have traveled a lot in my life and was allowed to stay in the most diverse hotels ... but when shortly after moving into our gorgeous Thai pavilion the doorbell rang and MAY introduced herself as my personal butler and would help me unpack, I was very, very flattered ... She was just so delightful and fulfilled our every wish. Thank you May ... you are gorgeous !!!

On the same day, we had a detailed, very honest conversation with our health and wellness advisor and received an individual heath and wellness concept for our stay, according to our wishes and goals ... which actually kept me quite busy, as I followed all the recommendations and loved just all ...

Waiting area for Women's Water Therapy Suite

Including such fond memories of an early morning on the way to "gentle yoga" ... I don't quite know how to put it into words ... the particularly pleasant climate, the chirping of exotic birds, and smiling gardeners bowing towards me shouting a cheerful "good morning". This may sound kitschy now, but it was just so beautiful.

 

Lovely gardens & outdoor Yoga platform 

The fitness facilities and courses are fantastic and as I said, "day filling" ... if there weren't the outstanding spa treatments as well ... I had put the focus  on "Mindfullness & Relaxation" during my stay ... besides a classic Thai massage I enjoyed "Chiva-Som Signature Deep Hand Massage", designed to thoroughly release tension that accumulates in the hands and arms from the multitude of daily tasks we use them for, like typing in our mobile phones or laptops ... and "Soothing Eye Treatment", a revitalising treatment that uses Argan oil and Sandalwood to soothe and refresh tired eyes (definitely would need this again:)).

 

                                                      Spa facilities

As you can imagine, guests come from all over the world with a wide variety of personal goals for their stay do come to Chiva-Som ... the treatments do not only provide deep relaxation for mind and body, but also bring health benefits including weight loss ... thus, on the daily menu in the restaurant, the exact nutritional values and calories are shown what makes it easy for the guest not to exceed a certain number of calories.

 

At this point I wanted to mention, that Chiva-Som is a Digital Detox place ... guest are asked to leave their mobile phones in the room and are not allowed to take photos ... quite a challenge for me ...  (I got an extra permission from marketing and communication team and made sure not to harm the policy) ... but so very relaxing for all guests. Privacy is a priority at Chiva-Som. 

Morning atmosphere at the restaurant right next to the ocean 

All in all, a wonderful experience ... far too short ... an extraordinary place to which one would like to return so very much to indulge oneself again with a very special "me-time".  Thank you so much for having us!

I wanted RED ... & shiny for Christmas this year ... introducing my new blouse FELICIA that is a one size piece and should be fine for sizes 36 to 40. FELICIA "PETIT" is on the way, in case this shape is too voluminous for you. The smaller blouse will be online soon and suitable for sizes 32 - 34.

I team a pink sequined skirt by H&M (unfortunately old, but you might find a similar one) and mules with bow detail by Miu Miu (also from an older season).

Another beloved PARATI

Posted by Tanja Seidl on

By now, everyone who has been following me for a while should have noticed ... I am a HUGE fan of alpaca cardigans by parati ... I love the special color combinations & shapes and combine them with my T&tStories pieces of the current and previous season. The parati collection is enormous and if you can't find your favorite piece online, please kindly contact Andrea directly via her website. The apple green pants I am wearing are still a sample. At the end, I decided to produce skirt LYNN from that green pure wool fabric ... still working on the perfect Marlene trousers cut for T&tStories :)

By the way ... selected pieces by parati are now also available at Sois Blessed Munich Concept Store
