it has been snowing on and off for the last seven days or so, also it is freezing cold and January which officially matches the month to the weather.
There is no possibility of wearing heels soon so I finally got myself a pair of warm and comfortable duck boots. So far they have been great. I didn´t not freeze nor slip and they are waterproof where it is important.
The style is called duck boot because the boot was created by a man who was in need of a pair of shoes which could keep his feet dry while hunting ducks. Also some say the tip of the shoe reminds them of the beak of a duck. Another term for the style is bean boot.
We definitely enjoyed the last few days getting fresh snow every once in a while because no one has to drive anywhere. To add some color to the look I am wearing above I went with a vibrant sweater including different colors. I picked out pink and wore my pink beanie as well as blush lipstick.
In honor of Valentine´s day and also because we are in our second hard lockdown I am starting a at home date night series tomorrow sharing one funny idea each week. So stay tuned.
I hope you had a great week. I personally am no huge fan of looking back on the passed year and never watch any of these types in the TV and especially with Covid hitting last year I really don´t want to go through it again. Although I must say giving birth to Emilia was the best day of my life and it also has been last year in the middle of the pandemic.
But one type of posts I always love to share and look back at are my top ten posts of the last year. I love seeing what you guys liked best and always try to go on with the most liked types of posts.
So with no further ado and also because it is Sunday and I have nothing new to tell cause we didn´t do anything else than lie around here are my top ten blog posts of 2020.
I am usually not posting on Saturdays but I had some time on my hand and have taken a lot of cute Winter looks the last few days so I wanted to share some inspo.
We just came home from visiting a befriended couple of ours. They have a baby boy who is three months younger and I am always in awe that in baby age this is such a huge different. He started rolling over and Emilia is crawling everywhere at the moment. It is just amazing how they develop in such a short time.
Anyways let´s chat about the look I am wearing in the pictures above. I love a cape as much as anyone who wants to add some drama to a style but a plaid one including pink and orange is perfection itself.
The question was if I wanted to go with orange or pink and I went with pink cause I missed wearing my MAC Retro Gloss and this was the perfect ocassion to put it on again.
Beige is a great color to pair with many others but Pink really pops with it. This was one of the outfits I felt very Gossip Girl with and I didn´t hate it.
We are now home cooking together and watching TV. Another hard lockdown is starting on Monday so there isn´t going to be much to-do.
and welcome to my fourth Netflix show guide. I can not believe we have watched this many shows already and to be honest, the pandemic and now the second lockdown didn´t help to slow us down. I have some awesome shows in today´s review plus some which really surprised me. Sometimes it is a good choice to push through some episodes until it gets better but often times it will remain rubbish.
Although Netflix is still our number one source for shows and movies we found a lot we liked on Disney + so I am going to share these very soon too.
Top 9 shows to watch in the gloomy and cold winter time / lockdown time
Virgin River // Loved this one from the beginning to the end. It is about a nurse/midwife who moves to a small town in the middle of nowhere for a fresh start after loosing her husband and baby girl. Just finished season two and the first one was definitely better but I am eager for season 3. The only one who is really bothering me is the major called Hope. She is super annoying and always in everyones business and messing with others life.
The Queen´s Gambit // This was a very short show with only 8 episodes but that was enough. The whole show is about chess and although it is very interesting to hear about all the matches and championships in chess I have never heard before, you could not watch more than one season on that matter. The show is about a little orphan and she is learning all about chess from the janitor of the orphanage she is living in. She get´s adopted at some point and makes her way through all the matches until she reaches the world championship in Russia.
Ms. Fisher´s Murder Mysteries // This is what I would call a sassy show. The main character is Miss Fisher and she is a lady detective and settles in Melbourne to help the police with Murder Mysteries all around town. The outfits she is wearing and her charm is everything. I like her very much and as open as she is with others she sure has her own little secrets.
The Order // The Order is about a secret magic society who has been practicing for hundreds of years at the campus of a university. But there is also a secret werewolf society. Both didn´t know each other existed so this gets really interesting as they need to work together to protect the magic.
Sweet Magnolias // A cute show about the friendship of three very different ladies who are opening a spa together. They are always there for each other whether it is personally or professionally. A very light but entertaining watch.
Get Organized with The Home Edit // If you like to organize your home, own a Dymo label maker and believe that every item in your household should have its dedicated place this show is for you. The sweet duo Clea and Joanna take on homes of celebrities and organize them from top to botton, shelf by shelf and drawer by drawer. Definitely encouraged me to get more organized. Don´t get me wrong I love being organized and have everything where it belongs but sometimes I need a little push and this show definitely helped me to get started again.
The American BBQ Showdown // Don´t watch this show hungry cause you will definitely regret it. This show features the most delicious BBQ meats and sides I have ever seen in my life. The jury demands excellent knowledge from their contestants and they absolutely deliver. Be prepared to at least try one of the recipes after the show. So so yummy.
Selling Sunset // If you like bitch fights this is the reality show for you plus it features luxurious wardrobes and the most exquisite houses you will ever see plus a bunch of pretty blondes. There isn´t a blunt day in the office of the Oppenheim brothers in Los Angeles.
Hollywood // Definitely one of the „keep going it will get better soon“ category. The first two episodes weren´t the most catchy and I stopped but rewatched a few weeks later and it got great by episode three. It is about the old and glamorous Hollywood era and thematizes the status and value of black people and women in the movie industry. Really interesting to watch and of course such great costumes and movie sets.
Since this is my fourth recap of Netflix shows for you guys I am linking the other three posts for you below.
