As far as fashion trends go for me I have found all the fun and versatility in my vests. Have never worn my vests this often as I did in the latest Fall and Winter season. This sherpa vest I am sharing here is a real gem of a vest. I got it at NKD for a great price.
The taupe and black color pairing makes it super chic and the sherpa lining is there for the trendiness and well as the warmth. I mean
I paired it with a simple black dress to set the focus on the vest but I am sure a cute shirt and a pair of jeans would also look amazing. Probably going to try this as soon as possible cause as I write it out loud I can´t wait to style this vest again.
Another topic I wanted to talk about are colored tights. I have a few colored tights cause I often think it looks very strange but it doesn´t, does it? I mean I love my red tights cause they are just such a bold statement piece and red is also super trendy that I forget about all the other colors. This knitted taupe version was really pretty and easy to style. It may add some pounds cause of the color and dimension but this could also just be me you know. Let me know what you think of colored tights.
We will be in the home stretch of January next week and to be honest I can not wait to start the next month. Hoping for warmer temperatures here, for more things to do and see. The first month of the year is always such a long and boring month. Everyone is resetting for the new year ahead, making plans or just resting, also the weather is the worst of all months.
Meals
MONDAY – Snacks
TUESDAY – Marinated chicken, rice and zatziki. I always love a take on a greek dish for dinner.
WEDNESDAY – Leftovers cause we still had so much different foods in the fridge.
THURSDAY – A casserole is always and easy evening dish. I love to throw everything that´s left in and pop it into the oven. This was a ham and noodle casserole.
FRIDAY – Beef stew and bread dumplings. One of my favorite German dishes. Beef stew with gravy made from scratch and dumplings made of old bread flavored with parsley, salt and pepper.
SATURDAY – We have a great Indian restaurant and I just love the Chicken Tikka Masalla. It is so tasty and flavourful.
SUNDAY – Spaghetti Bolognese – an all time family favorite.
Fashion
This week has been dominated by blues and animal print. Sounds boring but doesn´t look so.
Activities
We went to the dentist on Thursday. The two big girls did great. Opening their mouths as told and holding each others hand taking turns on the dentist chair. It was the sweetest thing to watch as they cheered each other up for their turn.
I also headed to Ikea to pick up my online order. I got a few things for our baptism in April and also for the playroom to organize and sort out some stuff. Never leaving without the classic hot dog and a soft cinnamon bun.
Misc
The weather has been pretty nice over the weekend so we went on a few short walks with our sick kids. Both of the big girls have the flu and my mama heart hurts so much when they are sick. Hopefully we´ll be on the mend in a few days.
I have also started painting on of our living room cabinets cause the white color has turned into a very dirty white almost yellow. I have picked out a dark misty green with a chalk finish. Love it so far and going to share my reel about it next week. But it definitely took much longer than I anticipated.
I just love green. Green is my happy color. No matter the shade of green. It can be bright and bold or dark and moody. Sage green is a huge favorite of mine but also a bright apple green.
Since Winter can be dark and gloomy and hard on all of us a bright color can help you out of your slump and get you going. It is a real mood booster.
I have several green pieces in this look that had the same color and scarf was the cherry on top. Super soft, lots of colors and warm. I mean what more do you want from a scarf.
It was my birthday week this week so I do have a little more cool things to talk about than the other two weeks. So let´s dive right into it. My big day has been on Wednesday and however is was the coldest and iciest day of the whole week. All the roads and car were icy but we had to get my cake in the morning. My husband went and got it and I was so happy. It saved the whole day. He even came back home early to celebrate with us. We went to eat sushi on Saturday with the girls and my parents. My favorite fishes are salmon and tuna.
The weather has been very gloomy lately but the last two days we got a glimpse of sunshine and warmth and I can´t wait for Spring to be here. I suddenly want to wear lighter fabrics and colors but it will still be too cold for a few weeks.
Meals
MONDAY – The cold months automatically call for soup and I am always on the hunt to try out new ones or I will always be back on my top three – potatoe, tomatoe and chicken noodle. But I did a cauliflower soup and ham sliders for this weeks soup cause I know the girls like these as well and it is very quick and easy to cook which isn´t to shabby for a Monday.
TUESDAY – Haven´t had burger in such a long time whether at a restaurant nor at home so a delcious bacon cheeseburger with curly fries has been long overdue.
WEDNESDAY – Steak and potatoes
THURSDAY – Bacon, Sauerkraut and noodles
FRIDAY – Leftovers from the week
SATURDAY – Went out for sushi because of my birthday this week. My favorites contain tuna, salmon and avocado. A little spicy or fried ones are so delicious too.
SUNDAY – Chicken and noodle oven dish
Fashion
We are still knee deep in Winter weather and temperatures so lots of layers and warm fabrics it is.
Activities
I went out for coffee and cream cheese pretzel all by myself on my birthday. It was a small but effective gift from me to me. Drinking your coffee in complete peace. A cup of hot cappuccino. I loved it. Also the Christmas decor was still up and it felt so festive. Made me almost miss Christmas already.
My big girl had a playdate on Friday and other than that we didn´t do much. Visited the grandma´s but it is just still too cold outside and almost everything on the playground is still frozen.
Playgroup has started again this week and I was so happy to be back. Not only for the kids to play but also for myself to chat with the other moms. My girl has made a great picture with acrylic paint and marbles. Looks like she is going to be the next Picasso 🙂
Misc
I have started to plan my Valentine´s day content and went to the store to get some baking goods and oh my Easter is already out and everywhere. I mean how in the world is this happening so early. We are still in January and there is also carneval before the Easter holidays. Also we are all going as witches and our little baby is going to be our black cat. I can not wait to see how cute they will all look.
For the last two weeks I have been finalizing little details for the baptism of our little girl. I have finalized and ordered our invitations and I also personalized and ordered a candle for her. Our theme will be daisies and everything is going to be yellow and white. It will be the perfect party theme for the month of April
