“Minimalism is not defined by what is not there but by the rightness of what is and the richness with which this is experienced.” John Pawson
INTO MIND is all about refining your own personal style, building the perfect wardrobe and living a clutter-free, simple life. It is about applying minimalist ideas to curate a small selection of high-quality items instead of a mishmash of imperfect impulse buys, free your mind of clutter and develop a positive, serene outlook on life.

Great blog! Interesting ideas :)
I forgot to mention after reading in your psych. section that I believe that animals experience love. I see it all the time in my alpaca herd.
I was in London once.
I love your blog …from the pictures to the writing … it’s a treat to visit. Favorite posts so far: the fashion from the runways to real – life, the interiors and the cute little things.
Really interesting blog. Your creativity really comes through and inspires.
I’m not sure how many followers you have, but I love this blog and wanted to create more awareness of it, so I nominated you for a Liebster Blog Award on my page :)
I’ve been looking at the myriad blogs that abound on wordpress, and every time I feel moved to “like” or comment I see your avatar. After about the 10th time it finally occurred to me to visit your blog. We must have similar taste. Nice to “meet” you. I am Jessica.
Love it! Keep on writing, we will keep following! Thanks for always visiting :)
Sincerely,
-The Eye x
Nice blog. If you’re taking requests, my fav topic among those you’ve listed is DIY. I like natural healthy ingredients (jojoba, flax and all that)…hair elixirs especially.
love the blog!
Fabulous blog! Keep up the great work!
Love the photography you have on your site I’ll keep looking.
lovely site Anuschka. tx for the inspiration ;)
I saw you liked a post of mine so I decided to drop in and WOW, I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!! Its pulled together so nicely. Love your fashion and style. Very cool. Looking forward to more awesome stuff!
Congrats on making it to post grad. I myself will be finished with school in March this year for Business Management.
Great work!!! Seems like 2012 will be blogging year for you:) You have a one more reader then:)
xxx from snowy London!
Great blog you got going here, good stuff!
Here I was thinking that if I did a blog on psychology, fashion and photography, it’d be too diffuse and people wouldn’t read it! I am excited to have found yours.
Ally
Great blog!! So much to look at and only 2 months in – much quicker than I! Keep it up :)
Thanks for liking my DIY Solar blog post :)
I’ll definitely keep checking your site, super cute stuff!
XO
Mariah
great blog!!!
Hi Anuschka, love your blog!! Even though I work in fashion, I’m currently also studying psychology – as a mature student at Open University – just because I love learning so much about the how the mind works, & how people, & animals develop mentally during their lives! Really, I’m a bit of a psychology geek ;) So I’m draw to both the fashion, & the psychology elements of your blog!!
Looking forward to reading more of your blog!! Stay stylish,
The Image Mistress, xoxo
Love your blog! Especially the psychology articles – very interesting!
I always forget to check the “notify” button! Sorry…
I find it rather interesting at how similar our interests are haha I’m 24 and studying Child Learning and Development, a study under the umbrella of Psychology at University of Texas at Dallas! I also enjoy music and art, and have taken a few courses on psych, we definitely cover a lot of the psych theorists in our child development courses (: and I absolutely love to do my nails (I think I change my polish once a week!) Maybe we can learn a thing or two from each other and have some discussions on psych!
Jean
Wow! What an artistic and creative blog! Great job!

I love your blog! Fashion and psychology! That sounds like me :)
Wow, really like your blog! You’re doing a fab job here! Best of luck!
Wow, this is an incredible blog! So glad to see it, and will stay tuned!

You have an impressive blog. So well put together with so much to read. A god job well done! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Looking forward to seeing more of your posts.
i must say.. your blog is great! you have so much collection. just keep the good work!
First time visitor here. Wow … a variety of topics (which is great)! I saw your gravatar at Composer in the Garden’s post about Fibonacci. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. How interesting your site is! I love the combination of psychology, fashion, and photography – you’ve got some truly intriguing posts here – I look forward to returning to explore more.
Interesting blog topics–I was a psych major before I switched to art (didn’t last more than a few months in psych but am still interested casually). The blog theme is also quite easy to navigate–one of the better ones I have seen.
Interesting Blog

What an astonishing following you have for having begun so recently! Congratulations to you! That following says both that you have been wise in how you’ve promoted your blog and, more importantly, that you have touched a nerve–made contact on a topic dear to a whole lot of other people. Fantastic. I look forward to seeing where this journey takes you, my friend. Cheers!

Hi Anuschka, great blog! For someone who just started this within the last month, wow, great posts and pics already.! Kudos to you. I am very impressed. :) Good luck on your study!
Nice to meet you. WordPress is a great place to journal, especially while in school! Wish there was the internet when I was in school.
You have a beautiful name! Where are you from? Or what is your ethnicity?
Cheers from Serbia!
Thanks :) I’m originally from Germany, my name is Russian though. My mom got the idea from a text book when she studied Russian at school :)
Your boyfriend is a lucky man! :-P
