Polka Dots are back in style and I just love that for me. I love everything dotted. It is such a feminine print and immidiately elevates every look. I have polka dots on everything and can´t wait to rewear my beloved things.
The polka dot shirt is from Primark but I have found a similar one here. Love it even more cause of the gorgeous bow.

I am not a beige person. I do not hate beige and have beautiful beige pieces in my closet but I don´t only wear beige. Color has always been in my life, my home and my closet. I have been wearing colorful looks years before the fashion society called it „dopamine dressing“ and have always loved it.
I also understand that a lot of color can be overwhelming and not everyone is feeling a full neon pink sweater so let´s start slow.
Accessories are huge when it comes to adding color !!!
– scarves, beanie and gloves are easy to add to your sad Winter look
– shoes – although colorful shoes are hard to find (other than Red) and probably not made for Winter weather but definitely for Spring
– jewelry – a pair of buzzing earrings or a stack of colorful bracelets, a cocktail ring in a vibrant color shining from your hand
– leatherware – belts and handbags, not only are belts great to create a silhouette they are amazing to add some color. A bright Red handbag (I have pre-ordered this) will be a great partner in crime throughout the whole year. Red is great for Spring and Summer and also Wintertime
– if you are brave – a colorful coat to your monochrome look

I was Carnival week over here and that means lots of costumes and lots of parties and strange songs. There really is so much I can take of it all but the girls love it so let´s power through am I right.
I made lots of quick and easy meals this week cause we have been out most afternoons and there isn´t much time left for cooking when we get home and everyone is hungry already.
Monday – We had chicken noodle soup
Tuesday – Soup leftovers and pankcakes (the girls often wish for pancakes for lunch)
Wednesday – Potatoe salad and sausages
Thursday – Take-out from our favorite. IYKYK
Friday – I made a one pan meal with gnocchi and mushrooms and some sauce
Saturday – I didn´t want to cook much so I made scrambled eggs with tomatoes and feta cheese. Really easy but tastes so good.
Sunday – Sunday brunch at my MIL (we got lots of leftovers and ate these at night)
Another great week of outfits. I have coorporated some pink and blush for Valentine´s week. The closet theme has been the color Brown and I think I nailed it pretty good.
I got a box of delicious Valentine´s Day doughnuts from Dunkin´s. To say they didn´t last long would be an absolute exageration.
My mom and I went to a Line Dance Carnival Party on Saturday and it was super fun. We danced the night away.
My girls also had several carnival attendings and they have picked their costumes all by themselves this year. They went as fox and Miss Mouse. Still so cute seeing them this excited about getting dressed up.
The weather has been beyond awful this week. It was super rainy and windy and overal just indoor weather. I am so sick of staying inside and being imprisioned in my own home. I know this sounds a little too dramatic but the cold months steal so much of our life and quality time outside.

This week has been the calm before the storm. Next week is going to hit hard with lots of carnival and Valentine´s Day prep. I am always trying to get as much as possible done for the next week but some things like food prep can not be done a week before. Also decorating (I decorated our play group room for the mama-and-baby classes) has to be done shortly before. My girls have one curated day of the week when they are at their grandma´s house so I try to get as much as possible done on these days.
Monday – Oven potatoes with Feta Cheese
Tuesday – German Wedding Soup with three kinds of dumplings – sausage, liver and semolina.
Wednesday – We had take-out from our favorite – the girls had chicken and fries and we had a Durüm (a wrap filled with meat, cole and sauce)
Thursday – Leftovers from the day before and – of course – butter noodles for the girls
Friday – Omelett with cheese, tomatoes, ham and rocket
Saturday – Pasta with tomatoe sauce (cause unfortunately the girls do not like anything else at the moment)
Sunday – We ate out in Adlersberg with our family.
It was mystery week of my closet challenge and I picked one piece blindfolded every day. Really cool if you want to wear pieces you haven´t reached for in a while. I have managed to style everything I have picked to my satisfaction.
I was out having breakfast with a mom friend of mine. We have a guacamole, bacon and egg bread topped of with lots of pesto and rocket. Very delicious but also very difficult to eat. Especially with one hand while containing an active toddler with the other.
My MIL celebrated her birthday today and we went out for lunch to a very old Bavarian restaurant and after that had cake and coffee at her house with the extended family. The girls behaved very well and ordered all by themselves and the little baby slept through all the lunch.
