Poolside looks – swim suit round-up….

pompom cover-up SheIn / black scalloped bathing suit H&M / polka dot bikini South Beach via Asos / slides H&M

….

Hello friends,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung-Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
since it is ongoing hot and summer might still stay a while I am sharing my swimsuit favorites for this season with you. Already worn them and approved ´em too.  By the way I was really afraid walking down to the edge of this small wall but I wanted a cool picture in front of the cliffs so badly so there was no other option. Nothing would have happened if I fell except that all my clothes and hair would´ve been wet.

We do have our honeymoon in September and are going to Spain so I am still going to need some of my swim suits and cover-ups.

The pompom cover-up is from SheIn. I wanted one for our vacation since I have seen it last year on another blogger (can´t remember who it was). It is only 16 Euro and so fun with all the colorful pompoms and the tassels. 

A real favorite was the black swimsuit I got from H&M. It is only 30 Euro and still available and I love love love the scalloped neckline. So dreamy and feminine (view the original post here).

My third highlight is the polka dot bikini I got from Asos. It is from a brand called South Beach. I love the playful ruffle detailing on the pants and the top. Also the color combination is one of my favorite.

The bikini I am wearing under the pompom cover up is also from SheIn. It is white with a flower print but it isn´t available in the white version anymore. Only the pink one is left (buy it here) but I wouldn´t mind wearing this one either.

These are some great and affordable options if you are going on a late summer vacation and won´t get as much use out of it than buying and wearing it from the begin of the season.

As always. Thanks a lot for stopping by.

Fashionable sunglasses with Sunice // discount code….

….

Good morning my dearest friends,
(post contains links/Werbung-Markennennung, Verlinkung, Post enthält Links/sponsored)
accessoiries have become a huge theme in the fashion industry regarding the last years. It is not only about clothing. The perfect look is a mixture of many different pieces and factors.

As long I can remember sunglasses have been THE summer accessory and not much people have worn them in the winter too but this has changed drastically. Sunglasses are now a year round staple and are available in so many different styles, colors, shapes and from oh so many brands.

I am always on the more classic side when I am choosing my shades. Nothing super colorful or a fancy frame (although I would love to get a heart frame-maybe for Valentines).

So I have teamed up with Sunice for my post today to share my alltime favorite sunglasses with you.

I have always loved a classic oversized cat eye frame. Wearing it suddenly reminds me of all the glam the Old Hollywood Era was spreading. And let´s face the truth. There are definitely days where we need that glam factor in our lives. I got mine in tan with the leopard pattern and totally love it. It fits my face perfectly. The style is called The Classy and is also available in Transparent, Icy White and Matte Black. 
The other style is a little more on the cool and modern side but since it has been in style for so many years I consider it as a classic too. I have choosen The Creator in color blue. This style always reminds me of Tom Cruise in his young days starring in Top Gun. I decided to go with the blue shade cause somehow this color fits my face the best. I also love the shape and the mirrored glass. It is perfect for sitting and watching people since they can´t see where your eyes are wandering.

Both sunglasses have full polycarbonate UV protected lenses which is very important cause the sun and the UV-rays are getting stronger every year.

And to sweeten your Moday a little bit I have this awesome discount code for you guys.
Apply Katie25 at chechout and you save 25% on your order.
Wishing everyone a great start into the week.
Thanks for stopping by.Take care. See you.

Food Friday – fruity and refreshing summer bowl recipe…

wine glasses here / punch bowl set here / straws / place mat / napkins / tray / ladle

….

Hello my dearest friends,

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

 it is another Friday which means another recipe. The past six weeks have been the hottest we have ever had and I really like the hot summer weather but the temperatures have been too high.


So I was searching for ways to cool us down and help us to survive the heat. How about a nice and refreshingly cool drink to start with. We had been to a Mexican restaurant months ago and they had a drink on their specials which was pretty delicious but I don´t really know what was in there so I tried to copy it as good as possible. In the end it didn´t look like the restaurant drink at all, but I was fine with my “own” version I have created and all of our BBQ guests liked it too.

So here is my super easy and quick summer bowl recipe. 

Ingredients:
– 1 bottle of rosé wine (take whichever you like)
– 1 bottle of Schweppes Tonic Water
– blueberries
– raspberries
– lemon balm or mint

– put in the fruits
– fill in the drinks (I used both bottles and added one bottle of cold water too)
– mix everything together and store in fridge
– add some crashed ice before serving it
– lemon balm is optional but I really loved the look and the taste of it


 Hope you are having some fun weekend plans. Today is Florian´s bachelor party and tomorrow is his grandma´s birthday so there is lots of celebrating over here.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Step up your arm candy game with Civion bracelets // discount code…

….


Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung-Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-sponsored)
the layering trend is still going strong. Layering  pieces of necklaces has been a huge trend since the beginning of last year. 

So what about stacking your bracelets. There are awesome possibilities to do so. Stacking with other bracelets, different metalls or also huge or tiny watches will look great. There are no rules so you can go totally crazy about stacking your bracelets/watches. I was thinking about this quite a time now and then Civion reached out to me and asked if I wanted to collaborate with them so my thoughts were chiseled in stone.

I have created three different ways/scenarios to combine your bracelets with other bracelets and watches.

#1
// Go for Gold
An all golden look on your wrist works for summer or winter. Gold on tanned skin is spreading all the summer vibes as it looks drop dead gorgeous. Also golden bracelets in the colder months totally get me into the Christmas mood. Cause it is sparkly and festive and although you can wear it every day it is special.
The golden bracelet I am wearing is called The Leaf  and it is available in gold and also is silver if you aren´t a gold fan at all.

#2
// Silver and Rosé
This might have been my favorite combo of all three. The small Shape bracelet worn with the delicate watch reveals such a feminine look which is awesome for days and also nights. Or maybe a great option to wear to a party or to a wedding as a guest. The Shape is available in silver, gold and a matt black.

#3
// Black and Silver
This would totally rock for the cooler days and colder months because it is almost to hard for delicate tops and dresses. But if you would like to wear it that way I am fine with it. The Anchor is a wrap bracelet all in black with a silver anchor which acts as a clasp to close your bracelet. I really like the combo of silver and black watch and silver and black bracelet. The Anchor is available in black and also in brown.

 Of
course you could also wear all the pieces alone if you don´t like to
much going on your wrist or if the ocassion requests it. 

So let´s get to the great part my friends.

Civion is offering my readers a 25 % coupon code to shop their site. The discount code is KATI25. Use this at checkout and you get 25% off of your whole purchase.
Are you a jewelry lover/collector who is making each and every trend their own or are you a little more restrained and only go for classics you can always wear?
