Valentine´s Day is exactly one week away and I know that we are staying home cause we will still be in lockdown but nevertheless I am going to dress up and enjoy my take-away food with every inch of my body.
But for all of my gals who want to dress up or are allowed to go to dinner I am sharing this set (and some more) of cute and affordable Valentine´s Day earrings. I personally love a great statement earring as much as my lipsticks so this was a no brainer to get heart themed earrings for the day of love.
Now lets see what we´ve got – a great mix between pearls, letters, hearts and velvet.
I got the set of eight and I shared some of them in the photos I took above. Do you guys have any plans? Maybe we could do something we haven´t thougth about and isn´t closed of restricted.
See you tomorrow. Enjoy the last hours of your weekend.
Valentine´s Day is next week and I can not believe that we can´t go to dinner this year cause all of the restraurants will still be closed. But we can still enjoy ourselves at home am I right? With plenty of take-out and all of the cheesy and romantic movies Netflix has to offer. You bet I will definitely wear a red lip with my sweatpants 😉 But before we go into further details about the shades I have picked for today´s blog post – have you seen my feet. I am wearing heels in this post. I am missing my dear heels so much. There is rarely an opportunity for me to wear them anymore. On some days I open their closet and look at all of them and talk to them so they won´t feel lonely. #crazyshoelady over here but don´t tell anybody 😉
Anyways who wants to read all about the red lipsticks this post includes. Me, me, me… okay let´s start.
5 affordable drug store lipsticks under 10 Euro
Maybelline High Shine Lipgloss // Color 45T – Price about 3 Euro – a nice sheer red color with glitter particles, not sticky at all, great to wear all day if you don´t like it too bright but looks also great to add some sparkle to a matte red lipstick
Catrice Full Satin // Color 070 – Price about 4 Euro – a deep and bright matte red, very soft to apply and highly pigmented
L`Oréal Paris Color Riche Valentine´s Day Edition // Color 125 Maison Marais – Price about 9 Euro, the cutest Valentine´s Day themed packaging (I am a sucker for cute packaging) bright, matte red, super smooth to apply and the cutest I have ever seen – it has hearts imprinted on the actual red stick inside, sooo adorable 🙂
Essence Longlasting Lipstick // Color 08 Passionate – Price about 3 Euro, super affordable and for the price point really good quality, great bright red shade, not as longlasting as it should be but definitely awesome for the price, satin finish
Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink // Color 118 Dancer – Price about 8 Euro,
Of course red isn´t only a color for Valentine´s Day. If you like you can easily wear red year round as there are so many different shades, you will definitely find your favorite.
See you tomorrow for some Valentine´s Day fashion inspo.
and with today´s post I am kicking off Valentine´s Day post season. This is my first post of the year regarding one of my favorite holidays.
I have posted tons of Valentine´s Day content over the years but never thought of making cute pink waffles. Now that we had so much time on hand and a waffle iron I made several different things in the waffle iron amongst waffles but for today´s post pink waffles it is and I am clearly not mad about it.
Being spoiled on Valentine´s Day with breakfast in bed or a sweet treat in the afternoon is definitely a very nice gesture but you can easily make them by yourself. All you need is a basic waffle recipe and red food coloring. The food color I am always using and is from Wilton and it creates the brightest shades.
This is the waffle recipe I have used. We made quite a lot of waffles since the first time for our breakfast board. They are the easiest of all sweet breakfast treats.
My pj´s are from Missguided and I got them from Asos. I could not link them via Shopstyle but I added some very similar and a ton of other cute pieces to the widget.
It snowed so much today so I got a ton of computer work done as we didn´t set foot outside. See you tomorrow with another style post.
I still can´t believe that the new year will be here in a couple of hours although I have been prepping our dinner the whole morning.
We did not plan to do anything today (the original plan was to get tons of Chinese take-away) but my mom wanted to do a Winter BBQ so we thought why not and planned out our NYE dinner.
NYE Table Scape
My table scapes are usually planned in advance so this one today has also been a last minute table setting with all the things I still had from last year or years prior. To be honest I do not switch much for NYE. I love a gold and black (sometimes I add silver) setting as it always looks glamorous and that is the theme I am going for on the last day of the year.
The plates I used are perfect for any kind of entertaining. I have those in several colors and these are my favorites for hosting. They elevate a table setting immediately with their metallic shimmer.
Candle holders are a must at every table scape. I have been using the gold ones for every ocassion every since I got them. Were a huge hit at Emilia´s baptism table and our Christmas table too.
Napkins are a great piece to set the motto for the table. I love using cotton napkins but occasionally use paper napkins too if they are as pretty as these.
Glamorous Living Room Backdrop
How amazing is this golden NYE backdrop I set up in our living room. I have been admiring these for years at other people´s NYE parties and never got one for myself but this was the year to go all out as we had sacrifice so much. I ordered this from Pink Party Dots as well and it was here two days after. The set up was so easy and quick, I did it all by myself.
Quick and Easy Side Dishes
Since we planned on having a BBQ. My husband will handle the grill I decided to go all out with the side dishes.
Another side I planned are Caprese Sticks. I basically put mozarella balls, little tomatoes and a basil leaf on a small wooden stick and am going to drizzle some balsmamic creme on top before serving.
The bread salad an oldie but goodie from our holiday parties a few years ago. It is basically a lot of vegetables (I always use what we have), some arugula, bacon, pine nuts, parmesan cheese and bread crumbs on top. You can use any dressing you like. I always make a mustard dressing.
Stir fryed green beans are another favorite. I am using two cans of green breans and put them together with a cup of bread crums into a pan. When the bread crumbs are golden the beans are ready.
The last two side dishes I have planned are spinach dip (an awesome side dish to take to parties too, great to make in advance) and deviled eggs (got the recipe from Reese Witherspoon´s book Whiskey in a Teacup).
Wow this has been a much longer post than I anticipated. Just wanted to quickly share some last minute ideas with you guys.
I hope you are spending NYE safe. We are only allowed to be five people and everyone has to return to their homes by 9 p.m. so this will be a short dinner.
