Oh boy, the month of December is almost over and we did so much and are still not done but I think I am rounding up a little of the last month of the year before all the New Years reflections start to roll in.

December always is the busiest month over here. From decoration to Christmas shopping to attending and hosting holiday parties there is a little time left to visit advent markets or go on a Christmas themed dinner cruise.
So let´s see if I can remember the whole month:
Party:
Our annual holiday party has been on the last day of November. Celebrating the Christmas time with our close friends is always something I look forward too cause it is so much joy and fun laughing and talking together. View our tablescape here.
The Line Dance Christmas party has been on a usual training day which means it was on a Monday evening but that was alright with me since we always train on those nights. So it has been lots of dancing plus food.
Florian´s grandmas birthday is on the 5th of December so family is always coming together there for spending the afernoon or evening together.
The next dinner party we celebrated was actual Christmas Eve at Florian´s parents house. We always exchange presents, head to church and have lasagna afterwards followed by chatting way past midnight.
Family Christmas dinner is always at our house at the first holiday. I cook a four course menu and everyone can enjoy themselves while eating and chatting and drinking fine wine. Here is my table decor for this feast, fashionable in pink, black and gold.
Travel:
 For some reason we skipped our December travels last year but we are back on track this year visiting the huge and phenomenal advent market in Leipzig and also took a look at their landmarks during the three days we stayed there. We found a shopping centre that´s like a mini version of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele from Milan called Mädler Passage.
The whole city is decorated with lights and garlands and it is just such a festive atmosphere. Be sure to check out my Leipzig travel guide coming very soon.
  Food:
 The only real dinner we had this month (besides homecooked food) was a 4-course dinner cruise we participated. The interior is fully made of glass and Swarovski crystals and was overall super sparkly and christmassy. I have to admit I have never been on a dinner cruise before and I was a little nervous. View the post including pictures of our dinner cruise here.

If you are in the German area be sure to check out the advents markets. Every city has one and the food they sell couldn´t be more different. From tartes to roasted almonds to different sausages to gingerbreads and pastries is a thing for two for everyone.
 
Sales:
The H&M after Christmas sale is my most favortie sale of the whole year. So many pieces which just got into stores are discounted pretty high online on the days between Christmas and NYE. Be sure to check out their page.
Shopping:
 To say I didin´t shop for myself would be a lie but about 90% of all my shopping this month has been Christmas related. Whether it was decor or presents. But I got a few things for myself while in Leipzig at Sephora and the Zalando Outlet Store. 


Watching:
Besides all the Christmas movies there hasn´t been anything new I have watched on Netflix but we are going to see the new Mary Poppins Returns movie in the cinema tonight.
Thanks for staying with me until the end. This has been a long review but it also has been a long month. Now I am planning on new content and new post ideas and also have to finish painting our bedroom.

Festive NYE Look – SheIn Sequin Dress + silver accessories…

Hi guys,

we are officially beginning the last weekend of 2018 today. Anyone else just recognized?? So it is really time for some New Years Eve inspo over here.

I have been on the hunt for a gorgeous sequin piece for NYE for a while now and now I have two and can´t decide which one to wear. Absolute misery over here!!

So the first one I ordered was this strappy sequin dress from SheIn. I think it is kink of cool. The length is okay with black tights (don´t like my dresses to short) and the sequins are really cool. They are more on the holographic than on the glittery side but they sparkle so that is absolutely fine with me.

I decided to wear it with a black body suit with baloon sleeves I got from SheIn as well. First wanted to wear it with a blazer but I wasn´t quite sure cause if I take off the blazer I only have thin straps and I don´t like my arms at all so the bodysuit is the right choice and the sleeves of it are so beautiful.


I am coming up with the second sequin look tomorrow.

Do you like NYE or is it too much of a procedure to get through? I am not quite the fan but I like the sparkly outfits.


Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hello guys,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
it is the first day after the holidays and are you feeling as strange as I am today? I am still in kind of a holiday bubble where I want to eat all the time, watch movies and lounge around. 

But real life has us back and the days between Christmas and New Years are always so weird. I have to things I want to accomplish before going back to work in January and that is painting and redesigning my bedroom and moving my blog from Blogger to WordPress. Maybe a little to much for only two weeks but I need something that keeps me going.

Since I am still in my Christmas bubble and I don´t want the holidays to end I am wearing as much red and plaid as possible. So this beautiful blazer is on repeat. I tried to dress it down for the days inbetween as it looks much more comfortable. To dress dowm my blazer jackets my first option always is a pair of denim. This loosens up the look much more than a skirt or a pair of black pants – remind yourself not to look to business formal but more casual.

So we have the jeans, now we are adding a simple top. I used a black turtleneck without any pattern or anything. You want to make sure that even when you are dressing down your blazer jacket that it still is the star of the show.

Add the accessories you like. In this case it has been a baker boy cap, a pair of pointed toe booties and a zipper detail hand bag and you are good to go. Oh and of course a red lip never hurt nobody!!

Now I am off to get some paint and get that first project started. 

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

Merry Christmas guys,

I just wanted to check back with a little update. Our Christmas Eve was really nice yesterday. We went to church and had dinner afterwards and sat together to chat until midnight. 

After getting up and enjoying a small breakfast I started cooking. Our families are always meeting on the 25th for dinner so there is quite the menu to make today. I already prepared the main course including all the sides, the aperitif and the fish course. Only thing left is the salad course but that is not to hard either.

So now I am finally going to get dressed and head over to my mom´s for Christmas coffee and gift exchange.

This look is super comfy and cozy and would be so nice for a casual Christmas holiday or the days until New Years Eve cause of the plaid scarf and the cheery red.

Hope you are all having a nice Christmas so far.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
