The Clear Handbag Trend….
Lot´s of designers are also offering clear hand bag versions which I think is pretty cool.
I paired my hand bag with a comfortable fall look. A pair of jeans worn with a white shirt or blouse is my base for so many times and has never let me down. For the fall touches I added a cardigan in an adorable orange hue and a pair of leopard print high heels. I really love the leopard print lately and got a bunch of stuff in this print.
Do you have any current trends you can´t let go off?

The Hot Pink Marlene Pant and bejeweled shirt + Giveaway Winner!!!!
evey now and then a little dose of pink doesn´t hurt am I right? That´s what I thought when I found this perfect Marlene Pant on our honeymoon and got it immediately as I saw it was only 11 Euro.
A Marlene Pant style always has been one of my favorites whether it is for Summer or Fall. There is just something so exclusive and chic about this flowing pant style. It screams summer ease and haute couture all in one. And I know it isn´t summer anymore but on these warm fall days it is absolutely possible to combine a Marlene Pant with a shirt and a suede leather jacket.
Since the pair of pants is chic itself I would recommend to dress it down with a t-shirt. The shirt I am wearing in the post is from Zara but I couldn´t find it online. Wearing a blouse to it can be a little too much (but of course that always depends on the restaurant you are going to).I also took a black suede leather jacket with me and the bucket bag I have been in love lately. For every outift I need a black bag it´s its turn.
So let´s get to the super soft and cozy blanket I am giving away. The winner is – drumroll please – AMANDA W! Congratulations.
Please e-mail me so I can get your dates. Thanks to everyone who participated in my fall giveaway and be sure to check back in December for my 12 days of Christmas giveaways.

Food Friday – soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies…
Good morning guys,
I am no lover of sweets in general but there are a few sweet treats I make an exception for and chocolate chip cookies are definitely one of them. But let´s make sure they are the right ones. I don´t like crunchy at all, so I am always going for soft and chewy cookies.
Another thing I love about cookies is the versatility. You can make them with seasonal ingredients, with the classics or plain. In the end it is always the same precidure and tastes perfectly good either way.
So here is what you need for a baking sheet full of delicious cookies which ake your house smell like you are living in a bakery.
Ingredients:
– 3/4 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1 egg
– 2 teaspoons vanilla paste
– 1 1/2 cups flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 2 teaspoons cornstarch
– pinch of salt
– 1 cup chocolate chip cookies (optional as you like)
How-To:
– melt the butter in the microwave
– add the egg, sugar and vanilla paste and whisk together
– add flour, baking powder, cornstarch and salt and stir togethher
– add the chocolate chips
– portion on a plate (I use and ice cream scoop)
– put in the freezer for about 30 to 40 minutes
– preheat the oven to 175°
– put cookie dough onto a baking tray cover with a baking sheet (about 9 per each)
– bake for 12 minutes – I only bake them for 9 minutes to make sure that they are slightly undercooked
I only let them bake for the 9 minutes cause I like them supersoft. Don´t be fooled by the consistency. They will get a lot more solid when they cool down.
Personally I love a cup of coffee with my cookie or nothing. Florian for example eats his with a glass of milk.
Do you love the classic chocolate chip cookie or do you have a special ingredient you can´t renounce.
