Isn´t red just the perfect color for the Christmas Holidays?! I love it. A classic red makes me so happy (and of course all the other hues too). 
I wanted to share one last Christmas look with you guys today and in fact it wasn´t this one. I planned on wearing something completely different but I loved this color combination and the combo of  a red midi skirt and a snow white lace shirt so much that I had to change it last minute. Normally not something I do cause when an outfit is set it is practically set in stone. 
I got the shirt in the mail about two days ago, honestly I thought it wouldn´t come in time for Christmas but you guys it did and its beautiful. I think a white lace shirt makes a great statement piece. This would also look really pretty combined with a pair of jeans, an oversized cardigan and boots. 

But let´s move on to the trend piece here – the chain belt. Chain belts haven´t been so trendy since the 90´s and I am really glad they´re back. And other people must be two because the belt in the pictures above is from Zara and I was waitlisted for about two weeks. When  I finally got a mail that they are available again we were out for dinner in a restaurant with absolutely no reception. But I had luck and ordered one after on the way to the car. It is really heavy with all the layers but so beautiful. I don´t think the exact piece is available anymore since it was permanently sold out but I have listed some other cute pieces in the widget below.

Hope you are having a relaxing last day before the Christmas madness begins.

Be sure to check back tomorrow for our Christmas card pictures. 

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

what memories are you connecting with Christmas. Is it a special dinner or a couple of Christmas songs or your favorite holiday decor. For me it always will be a certain pattern that I am going to associate with the best time of the year no matter what – tartan. It is the ultimate Christmas pattern for me. 
By adding a tartan scarf or bag or button down to my look I am immediately in a holly jolly spirit. I ordered this tartan button down a few weeks ago cause I actually only have different scarves with that pattern I adore. So for dressing it up appropriately for the holiday I went with a red tartan button down paired with a beautiful knitted snow white cardigan and a brass gold oversized necklace. 


I kept it pretty low key on the bottom with a navy pencil skirt and a pair of red suede booties.


Do you love Christmas tartan as much as I do ? And also if you are interested on what I am going to wear on Christmas Eve be sure to check back tomorrow.

Hi guys,

this post wasn´t planned at all but I have found this pullover while shopping last week and I had to have it. It is the cutest Christmas pullover I have ever had and I have a red penguin pullover with a pompom hat. You got me right! But isn´t the snowman just adorable. I really couldn´t wait to wear it. 

I paired it with a simple pair of midblue denim and black overknee boots. Of course a red lip is always optional but should not be missed during Christmastime and with all the cold winds of the last days a black pompom is not bad idea either.

Only three days to go guys. Hope you are in time with all of your preparations. I definitely am. My last day of work for this year has been yesterday so I really couldn´t be happier.

On another note I am so happy amazon Prime exists. I have forgotten two small things to get and they where available with Prime. Couldn´t be any happier cause it would have been a trip to real hell if I had to drive to the mall.

Be sure to check back tomorrow for some Christmas Eve outfit inspiration. I am totally straying away from red (even if it is just for one night) and I loved how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

The perfect Christmas dessert – cranberry chocolate cake…

Hi guys,

usually this close to Christmas I have my Christmas menu all together and already tried but neither of both has happened so far. I am still not done with the finishing touches of my main course and I don´t have a dessert. But that is about to change.

What do you think of this beautiful Christmas inspired cranberry chocolate cake. I think it looks so great and would definitely be a treat for the holidays. Anyone with me?

You may think it is super hard to make but in fact it isn´t at all. It definitely takes less time in comparison to many other cakes/cupcakes I have made and looks really festive.

So let´s put on our aprons and get started:

Ingredients dough:
– 5 eggs
– 150 gr. of sugar
– 1 table spoon of vanilla sugar
– 150 gr. of flour
– 1 1/2 tea spoons of baking soda
– 3 table spoons of cocoa

Be sure to double the dough and bake it in two pans cause it won´t be enough for the whole cake.  

Ingredients filling:
–  1 glass of cranberries
– 1 litre of heavy cream
– 12 sheets of white gelatin
– 5 table spoons of vanilla sugar

Ingredients topping:

– 150 gr. of dark chocolate couverture
– a few spoons of cranberries
– mix eggs and sugar and stir until fluffy
– add the other dry ingredients and stir for another 2 mintues (best to use a kitchen mashine)
– pour batter into 2 cake pans (be sure you doubled the ingredients for the dough, otherwise it won´t be enough)
– bake for 25 minutes at 160 degrees
–  meanwhile melt the dark chocolate couverture and spread between two baking sheet
– roll them up and let the chocolate cool down in the fridge
– after your cake layers have cooled down coat both with the cranberries 
 – now whip your cream (add the gelatine afterwards, be sure to follow the constructions on the packaging) and add the sugar while doing so
– spread the half of your whipped cream mixture on the first cake layer and top with second cake layer, then spread the rest of your mixture
 – be sure to keep the cake ring around it and let it cool for three hours or over night
– garnish with cranberries
– open your parchment paper roll of dark chocolate couverture and spread it over your cake  
– et voilà you have the perfect Christmas cake or Christmas dessert
If you are making the cake please tell me if you liked it. My mom was obsessed over it and she usually never likes anything.
