Good morning friends,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung-Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
it is the night after Florian´s birthday party. And although guests where leaving early cause everyone has to go to work today I am feeling whacked. After one day of preparation and one day of cooking (although I had two helpers) my back hurts so so much and also my feet. But I do love him so much and seeing how happy he was to have all his family and friends gathered around for his birthday was rewarding enough and almost makes me forget my pain.

But let´s have a closer look at my outfit. I means who doesn´t love a gorg ruffle detailing?

I paired this shirt (got it about 7 years ago in Brazil) with a dark blue pencil skirt from H&M. I really love their skirts and if it would be possible I would get them all. They are always on point. Fit great and the styles and patterns are adorable.
 Since I wanted the style of this look to be chic but a little bit on the edgy side I paired it with a distressed denim jacket. I just love a good denim jackets and I have quite the variety. A formal denim blazer jacket, a regular middle blue one, one with sequins all over, a distressed one and of course a 90´s oversized one. You get my point right? If nothing fits wear a denim jacket.

To round up the look I opted for a pair of block heel sandals in the same color range like the top and a handbag in the color of the jacket to not involve to many different colors. If you want to add depth to your look just change the hues from one color from lighter to darker before you opt for a total different color.

Hope you are having a nice week so far. I am going to clean up what´s left of the party mess today and otherwise I just want to sit on the sofa and watch Netflix.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care See you.

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links-not sponsored)
I have been baking and preparing for Florian´s birthday party the whole day today. His and my mom also helped so it happened pretty quick and was a real blast. 

I just wanted to share this neutral look with you guys cause as you know I love a good and bright color, but sometimes it just has to be a little less so I swap my vibrant pink pieces for a soft blush. And you know what? I also love it. Fashion is all about variety in colors, cuts and also your needs. If you don´t feel good and don´t want the attention a bold pink shade gets you opt for nude or pastell tones.

Our party has a Mexican Fiesta party theme so there is going to be lots of taccos, salsa , guacamole and margaritas. Stay tuned for our DIY tacco bar. I am going to share them next week.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Happy Monday friends,

hope you are doing fine -mine could be a slight better, got a headache from the changing weather and also I had so much onions in my salad last night everything I eat or drink tastes like it – but let´s get to the main topic today. Back to school seems to be everywhere these days (school starts here again in the middle of September). Everyone is stocking up on school supplies for the new year and the older semester on new looks. 

I am sharing my Back To School interpretation here. This is what I would wear today if I would go back for the first day of school. My motto was trends meet old school (how fitting right?!) and also I was watching Grease a few hours before our shoot so I had to add a headband and a college jacket.
The kick flare pant was a last years find but they are still on trend and you can find them almost at every brand. So since this model isn´t available anymore I am going to link some similar options.
A big bag also is not too bad if you are having a lot to take with you like books, scrapbooks, folders, a laptop, some food and water. I got this Céline dupe last year and still love it. The site it is from is called Fashion Drug and has awesome and high quality pieces.

 Black and white is never a wrong color combination whether you want to keep it casual or you want to dress it up so it is easy to say that this college jacket is going to fit most of your looks.

Are you excited for going back to school? Would you go back for one day ? Or do your kids start school ?



I would love to know. Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Step by step party planning with Paperless Post….

Keine Kommentare

….

Hello friends and happy Friday,
(post contains links/Werbung-Markenname, Verlinkung/Beitrag enthält Links-sponsored)
I love entertaining. Really love it so I am constantly searching an ocassion for hosting a party or a get together. Not so hard since there are many holidays throughout the year and many more possibilities for hosting a party. So for today´s post I decided to share a birthday table.

Set a date, an ocassion and a party theme:
I picked Florian´s birthday party which is in September. We also had a celebration for him last year but I wanted to follow a real party theme this year.


Pick an Invitation:
Paperless Post has so so so many different invitations for all kinds of parties, showers and even weddings. For our Mexican Fiesta theme I picked the Fiesta Frame invitation and started to customize it. Totally love the baby blue lines on the yellow backdrop. To make the yellow pop I went with a navy blue background. And aren´t the little glasses with the limes and the umbrella really make it work.

Another reason these paperless invitations are great is that they are only sent out online so you save paper and money on buying stamps and evelopes.

Decorate:
So for our Mexcian theme I got these little sombreros, matching napkins, a wooden cactus garland, some colorful pompoms to hang up and this adorable black metal cactus with a led-wire around it. 

Make lists:
I am a list person. I always have a physical list in my hand (paper goes over everything here). I even make lists for my lists but that is another obsession. A grocery list is key for party planning. Also a guest list. It is much easier if you have a total number. Although I would add on about 4 to 5 people. You never know who suddenly changes his mind and running out of food is one of the worst case scenarios. 

Prepare:
If you have to move the furniture or add some tables or chairs get this a day or two ahead done. This is additional stress you don´t need to have by planing it out right. Also get all the groceries you don´t need to be super fresh. Canned stuff and most vegetables or cheese are fine up to four days and more. Same for drinks and crushed ice. A extra drive just to get the drinks is much more relaxed and your car isn´t full with lots of bags. Same goes for kitchen utensils. Clean and prepare everything you need for serving, placing the food, drinks etc.

Timing:
Beginn earlier than you think is necessary. Having some time ahead to give it a final walkthrough or clean up some stuff already is gold. Also you should get dressed up too. Don´t forget about that. Happened on my first hosted big Christmas dinner. I changed about 10 minutes before the guests arrived and only had time for a quick make-up and hair fixture. Timing takes a little. It took me about 3 to 4 ocassions to find out what works best for me. It is also a different theme if you are serving a course menu where every dish should be on schedule or having a buffet.

All those tips help me a lot and make party planning easier but at the end of the day you have to figure it out by yourself. It also always depends on how much you have to do by yourself and how much help you have.

I hope your next party is going to be a total hit.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
