31 Dresses of Summer – the purple shirt dress…

to be honest I haven´t dedicated as much time to my blog as I wanted lately. We did many day trips and went into the city often and also visited our friends many times cause it has been forbidden so long and after all the restrictions had gone we felt like we needed to catch up.

So for the month of July I thought of something vey special. I am sharing 31 Summer dresses throughout the whole month of July. A new dress for you everyday – even on the weekends. This has been a lot of work for me but I wanted to spend more time creating content for you and also if you know me by following me for some time you know how much I love my dresses. It was also a really fun challenge to think of 31 different dresses to share but I made it and in my opinion it turned out great.

So with no further ado here we go with the first dress of July – the shirt dress. Shirt dressed haven´t been super present the last few years but they made a huge comeback in Spring and I am not mad about it. A shirt dress is such an easy piece to wear, whether you want to style it casual for heading out to lunch with friends or dress it up for work, there are several pieces that fit the bill.

The dress I am wearing in this post is a sale find from H&M in the most gorgeous lavender color. I have been finding myself wearing lots of pastell colors lately cause they fit so well with my red hair.

How to style a shirt dress

I had worn this cute dress out for lunch. It has an oversized fit so I added a belt to create a waistline here. You could definitely pull it off without a belt if you are tall but I am just to short so it was drowning me a little without. Another thing I like a lot is to wear a high pony tail or a bun with high/big collars.

I think it looks super chic plus it reveals the full collar of the dress and it gives you the opportunity to throw on an amazing pair of statement earrings. For shoes I just go with the weather the day I am wearing a dress. Warm and dry weather – sandals it is. The pair I am wearing is pretty new in my shoe closet and I have been wearing them around the clock. First of all white is my number one accessory color for Summer plus I have been definitely digging the woven sandals trend.

Et voilá, there it is, the first look for my 31 days of Summer dresses is here. Feel free to ask anything you want to know and also guess the next dress.

Baby Bath Time…

Happy Hump Day,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

having a toddler who loves the water is one of the sweetest things. It is such a joy to give a bath to Emilia. She loves splashing around in the tub and playing with the water overall. I am super happy that she never had a problem with water. Never cried in the tub and although she isn´t a fan of washing her hair it isn´t a huge problem.

So to maximize her joy I went on the hunt for some baby bath gadgets and let me tell you I have found a ton of good stuff, not only for baby.

Amazon is my one stop shop for everything and it has gotten even more during the lockdown cause where do you get the things you want and need when every other shop is closed.

Baby Bath Gadgets

….

cushion // This will do amazing thins for your bones. Most of the time my husband gives Emilia a bath. He sits inside of the tub with her but if it´s my turn I am truly thankful for this cushion cause my knees really hurt after 30 minutes.

set of 4 water cups // Got this the other months for Emilia to play and she definitely loves watching the water run through. It is the cutest thing how she tries to fill them up all the time.

toy collector // This comes in very handy if you have lots and lots of toys in the tub with your little one. Just collect them with this great bath gadget before you drain the water. It holds a ton plus excess water will run through the mesh material. The toys can dry while stored away.

hair wash wale // I have seen this at another blogger´s page and I thought this was a great idea. We do love the water around here but hair washing it not in our top ten. The concept is great and it would work but now she knows what will happen when she see´s us getting the whale and isn´t happy about it at all.

bamboo wash clothes // These are amazing. It is a set of 10 and the little wash cloths are super soft.

bath mat // Added this to the tub to make sure she won´t slip and fall. It works out great.

bath towel // We have a couple of these towels, they are the best when it comes to wrap your little one tight and warm.

colorful cups // Stacking cups are a new favorite in our house. Emilia loves to play with them now. She tries to stack and fills them up with water and splashes it around.

little boats // I thought these little boats are super cute but she isn´t as interested. Maybe later, maybe never.

octopus toy // This is a real hit. She totally loves her octopus toy and I like it to. It is super cute. The ring game isn´t her favorite but she loves to play with all of the things.

Shooting this post was so much fun cause Emilia loves the water so much and she takes up any opportunity to take a bath or go swimming.

See you tomorrow. July is going to be very interesting as I am starting a new series calles 31 dresses of Summer. Stay tuned.

Organization

Bathroom Organization…

Y´all know how much I love an organized space am I right !! I am sure there are also some of you around who value a label maker and acrylic organizer as much as I do.

So for today´s organization edition I am sharing how I updated our bathroom cabinet. To be honest the bathroom is probably the only room in our house I don´t like. I think it is too dark and there is no space to put something else like a cart to add bath salts, flowers and towels in a decorative way other than that it is fine. It´s roomey and has lots of storage space.

So here is the problem. All the storage space in the world won´t help if you aren´t using it right and this is where I am sharing my process.

Tools I used for bathroom cabinet organization

Drawer Organizer // The acrylic drawer cases are the ones I have been using for about ten years now. You can literally store everything you like in there. From make-up to hair accessories to hygiene products to office supply.

Acrylic Container // I have sorted all of my travel sized bathroom products into these awesome acrylic containers. I divided it into different categories which makes it super easy to find and store away things. There are different sizes available but I went with the pack of 4 cause they fit perfectly into our bathroom cabinet.

Acrylic Tray // I planned on using this in a different way but it ended up in the bathroom with all the other organizational pieces but it fits all of my shower gels, oils and body scrubs perfectly plus it is super easy to clean in case something spills. This is another point why I love acrylic organizer / container. Easy to use and clean.

Medicine Box // To store all of our medication I got this huge box. It hold up all of our medication and also Emilia´s and Chloe´s things. The insert of the box has so many single compartments to organize everything you´ll put in there.

Lazy Susan // How amazing is a turnable organizer for your cabninet. It saves a lot of space and also has so so much storage space for all of your bath items. I organized things by category here. I have one lazy susan for all of my skin care and one in the above cabinet for all of my hair products.

Food

Copycat Recipe – Mc Donald´ s McMuffin Bacon & Egg…

Happy Saturday,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I hope your weekend has started out right. Ours for sure did. I made these Bacon & Egg toasties for breakfast today. We had some from Mc Donalds the other week and I thought why not try them at home the next week. They are super easy to copy. All you need are four ingredients – eggs, bacon, sandwich cheese and toasties.

To make the eggs as round and high as possible I got a mold from amazon and it worked pretty good (I also use it for little pancakes). After putting the toastie into the toaster I use the time to make the bacon. Crispy as possible is our prefered way to eat it. Place the cheese on the hot toastie and it will melt down just perfectly. Now put on the bacon and the egg and enjoy.

I am a huge breakfast gal. I love every and any kind of breakfast and I could eat it at any time of the day. French toast, monkey bread, pancakes, waffles, huevos rancheros, omelette, dutch baby – just to name a few are our absolute favorites around here.

Hope I could give you some inpo on your next breakfast. See you next week.
