Good morning guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links/Markennennung-not sponsored)

how can it possible be Monday morning again. I just don´t get it. The weekend always goes by so fast although I have three full days of it. There has been a lot of decorating, birthday parties and food on our weekend agenda so we gotta bring that down a bit this week. More gym than food and more cleaning up than decorating. 

Wouldn´t this look be really nice for Thanksgiving? A midi dress in such a vibrant and stunning blue shade. I really love a good midi dress and if it has an asymetrical hem like this one you got me. 

I paired it with plain black accessoires which I think made it look its best cause it allowed the color to pop out really nice.

The faux fur cardigan is really old but I love wearing it on repeat every winter cause it is just too cozy. And it also adds such an “Anastasia” feeling to the whole look. Don´t you think so?! The Russians are some of the best dressed people when it comes to Winter belongings. And eveything in the backdrop of beautiful tsar palaces and golden domes of the churches.

The waist belt really is optional but if you have an hourglass figure (or want one) you can totally use it to accent that. A pair of black heels with ankle straps (my favorite in the whole wide world) rounded up the look and made me feel really happy and special with it.

Are you also a lover of this beautiful blue shade or do you prefer lighter colors ?

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Casual Sunday #36 and our day at the Bunte Beauty Days in Munich….

….


Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
I has been quite a while since a little update around here (besides my usual posts) so today´s will be a little longer – which means get yourself a hot cup of delicious smelling coffee first – as there is a lot to tell but first of all “Happy Saturday”.


Watching:
 Since I am in total Christmas mood, almost done with decorating the house, I am of course watching Christmas movies already. I can only use watch Netflix (wanted to subscribe to the Hallmark Channel but it isn´t available in my area – really sad day) so since there aren´t as many movies available for Christmas I have only seen Christmas with the Kranks and Christmas with a View and I am definitely going to watch The Spirit of Christmas again.


Eating:

I have to admit we do not eat out as much as we used too and I don´t know exactly why because it is not about the money and also not that we don´t like the food that restaurants offer anymore. I guess it is just because we are getting cozy in the colder months and also love to enjoy a homecooked meal. 

But on Halloween we went out on a date night (hadn´t been on one since our honeymoon in September) and reserved a place at our favorite Indian restaurant in the city called Taj Mahal. It is super old. My mum has eaten there when she was young so I think they might be in business at least 30 years from now. We always eat the same dish number 65 called Murgh Masala – chicken with fragrant rice and a sauce so delicious and a little spicy. We also order a nan – an Indian flatbread – to make sure there is no drop of sauce wasted.

Last week we also headed out to another restaurant we love with my SIL and her boyfriend – the Beach House. They have Californian kitchen and such a fashionale and modern place. We also love the open cooking space cause the food smells so good. I always have the chicken caesar salad with sweet potatoe fries and guacamole and Florian mostly eats a burger cause they are so juicy and tasty.

Cooking:
 I made these spinach-ricotta-feta filled pancakes the other day and we where positively surprised cause they tasted really great. Definietly gonna make them again.

 I also tried the most baked recipe on the Internet – the pumpkin chocolate chip cookie. If I liked it and how it went is to find in Friday´s post

Also still trying to find the perfect turkey gravy for Thanksgiving and time is running out so if you have any suggestions please tell me.

Eventing:
My SIL and I attended the Bunte Beauty Days in Munich two weeks ago and had a total blast. It was a trade show all about beauty, how to prevent aging of  your skin, you could get all dolled up with a new makeup look or sit and listen to presentations and also have a look at the newest products which weren´t store at that time. They had the new Dyson hair tools and lots of Arabian cosmetic brands. We made lots of pictures and great memories and overall had a really great day there. It is an annual trade show which takes place in Munich every year. 


Shopping:
 Since I am planning on repainting and remodelling our bedroom at the beginning of next year I am already looking for some new decor pieces and H&M Home never disappoints. I have found so many beautiful things in their online shops for every room in our house.
!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1541403985912?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
Also already started Christmas shopping. Only need a few more things but I am gonna wait on the Black Friday deals for that (post follows).

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

The most hyped Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies on the Internet right now…

….

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung-Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
I know that there are trends in every section of the internet whether it is beauty, home decor or fashion but the latest and most written trend I have seen in the last two weeks was about these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. A bunch full of bloggers recreated the recipe and shared it on their blog and that made me curious and as a lover of cookies and everything pumpkin I had to try it. You can find the original recipe here.

I didn´t change a single ingredient cause I was to excited how these would taste and guys they are delicious. To be honest they don´t have the usual cookie consistency. The dough is more like from a cake in the end. So I wouldn´t take away a few minutes from their baking time cause they stay soft. 

But that doesn´t hurt at all does it?! I made the second batch only three days after and we still love them. Even my mom eats them and she isn´t a friend of either sugar or pumpkin.

So maybe I could give you an impetus to make a batch of delicious cookies for your weekend treat. They are seriously so so good.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Good morning guys,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
I don´t know but the closer we get to Christmas the more red I am wearing. It tends to be the only color I want to wear a lot of the times I stand in my dressing room. But why not. Red is fabulous and if it makes you feel fabulous like in this adorable brigth red Zara blazer go for it.

I paired the blazer I got a few weeks ago with a polka dot shirt. Since I have seen this so many times I wanted to belt my blazer jacket too but wasn´t sure it it would be possible since there are no buttons on this jacket but it worked just great. The embellished double ring belt was the best of dupe finds from last year and I still loving wearing this piece all the time. For some more pops of color I added this stripped shopper bag I got from Mango and a pair of red leather pumps which peek out of my flared pair of jeans.

I totally love this look and probably will wear it again very soon. The jewelry is kept really simple. I just added a pair of golden hoops from H&M and a layered necklace from the Styled Collection.

Do you have any styles you want to try out but are not sure if they will work for your?
