Hi guys,

orange has always been a favorite color of mine. Whether it is for Summer or for Fall. The bold hue just works so great with a lot of other colors and also happens to fit for every season. 
This geometrical print dress turned out to be one of my Summer favorites althought it didn´t look like that as I got it.
I was not quite sure about the pattern and also how the neckline worked and the first time I tried it on I didn´t like it at all. But as it was sitting there on my chair I had to give it another try as I loved the color so much. The neckline is a little tricky but I have a dress with a similar situation so I figured that out again after a while.
Another thing I like is that it isn´t seethrough at all. White dresses are pretty dangerous with this factor if they don´t have any underlining.
I added a waist belt to give the look a little more focus with the crazy pattern and also a more fitted flare. Matching tassel earrings, a laser cut hand bag and my favorite pair of slides completed the look and I was satisfied how it turned out.
Do you have pieces in your closet you have to give a second chance cause the first time you just don´t know what do to with it??

As always thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

How to style camouflage in the summer…

Hello friends,

(post contains affiliate links / Werbung-Ort-Marken-Post enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

when did camouflage came back into fashion and why am I noticing it only now?

That was the question I have been asking myself some weeks ago as I hit a store to have a look at their summer dresses and most of the prints I saw was camo. I have to admit I always loved the camo print and was little sad that it suddenly disappeared out of the fashion world but let´s be honest, after camouflage was printed on everything and in every color combination ever possible it was just too much pain for the eye to take it any longer. So after a well needed break we are back – almost perfect for fall – with this versatile super pattern.

I personally love the original green version and am staying away from anything else (especially don´t like the pink combo and I love pink).

The jacket is really old but since there are so many similar options out there I thought it wouldn´t be a problem to share.

I paired mine with a simple black dress and a pair of sandals. This really is an easy look. You can wear this in the summer by tying the jacket around your waist or you can also transition it into fall by wearing the jacket as it is supposed to be and adding a pair of slides or booties.

The bag is from Lake Garda. I wanted one like these ever since Stella McCartney brought out a chain handle collection many many seasons ago but did not want to spend to much money on such a trend piece so I was really happy as I found the version above.

Hope you are having a nice start into the new week. We are under three weeks away from our wedding and I am so happy the day is almost here. I am done planning and there are only a few little tasks left. Awesome!!

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Food Friday – gnocchi salad with basil and pine nuts…

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung-Verlinkung, Post enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
we already celebrated our last BBQ for this Summer. All good things have come to an end at some point, am I right? So there are going to be lots of fall inspired, mainly pumpkin inspired recipes on the blog very soon.

But for today I have another delicious and not so common salad idea for you. A gnocchi salad. For everyone who doesn´t know what Gnocchi are. They are small and round little dumplings make from mainly potatoes and some other ingredients. Gnocchi are and Italian specialty and very popular in Germany, probably like Spaghetti.

But for this type of salad I need them cooled down or at least not as hot as fresh.
The other ingredients are:
 – 1/3 cup pine nuts
– several leaves of basil
– parmesan cheese (grated)
– white balsamic 
– one package of Gnocchi (meassures 250 gr.)
– boil the Gnocchi in hot water (turn down the heat after it cooked up once) until they swim on the surface, only takes them about ten minutes as they are sold precooked

– let them cool down or the parmesan cheese is melting right away and you have one big chunk and no salad

– while the Gnocchi are cooling, brown the pine nuts in a pan (don´t add an oil or fat you won´t need it), be sure to wait at the pan as they get brown in the blink of an eye and then burn

– mix the Gnocchi, parmesan cheese, white balsamic (be careful by adding, I don´t have a meassurement cause I just add as much that the ingredients don´t stick together) and pine nuts in a big bowl

– add the basil leaves (I don´t chop them but you can do whatever you like)

– I served it with the BBQ this time but it is also delicious with a sandwich or a bagel or even fish

Are you still loving your outdoor BBQ´s or are you also longer for soups and casseroles?

Maritime style with stripes and lots of white….

….

Good morning friends,
(post contains affiliate links/ Werbung-Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
we are almost hitting the end of August (at the end of next week) which means fall and also our wedding and honeymoon is right in front of us. I couldn´t be more excited.

So for now I am sharing a few more Summer looks and recipes we took over the last weeks and then we are heading straight into fall fashion. There are so many cute pieces I would love to wear right now but it is simply to hot. 


A blue and white tee always adds such a maritime vibe to any look. I have combined it with simple neutral accessoires like the woven basket bag and the wedges and spiced up the look with a vibrant red lip. I recently got this lipstick from MAC and it has been my number one since. Also this will be on constant repeat for Christmas time since it is the perfect red shade.

 Are you guys still loving summer or are you craving fall and cooler temps and pumpkins like I do?
