Hi
guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)

it
is Wednesday today so I am checking back with another Wedding
Wednesday post – I might as well say today is a little different
compared to my other posts. 


Although
the bride is pretty special and really important at a wedding there
wouldn´t be a bride at all it there existed a matching groom. 

So
I am gong to give the word to my fiancé Florian today and he is
going to tell you how to ask your best man and what to put in his box
to make him speechless.

….

Hi
this is Florian talking. I was asked to write a guest post for one of
the more manly themes regarding a wedding. There aren´t too many
things a man needs for the wedding. But these few things are very
important.

First
you need to find the perfect girl – check,
then
you need to find the right clothes for the wedding – check.
But
it’s also very important to have your best man standing by your side
for a wedding. This was a really easy decision for me. I chose my
dad. 

 
Why
? That is pretty easy to explain.
We
have always had a special connection and enjoyed spending time
together. Not only is he my dad, most of the time he is more like a
best friend to me. We are sharing our passion for soccer, which means
we can talk about it all day long just ask Katie she knows. Also we
both are children at heart and make jokes at every possibility. My
dad and I don´t take life too serious but we are there for each
other when situations require it. So it is just natural I want him to
be my best man and spend this important day close by my side.
When
I saw how happy my dad was about the bridesmaid’s box my sister got I
knew that I had to give him something similar.
Inspired
by the cute boxes of Katie, I went for a gift box including a scratch
card. When you scratch the dots on the card, you see the words
„willst du mein Trauzeuge sein?“ which means „do you want to be
my best man?“. Above the scratchable dots there is a bow tie and my
dad´s name.
For
packaging I chose a big grey box and wrapped a bow tie around it.
Inside
the box are several gifts. First a really beautiful button down with
a matching handkerchief. I knew he loves the brand and the shirts
they make so this was easy
Since
my dad likes to sip a good old glas of whiskey I added some
neccessities to enjoy the drink. I also got him a fancy shaped glass
engraved with his new title – best man – and stones to keep his
whiskey cold. Of course the whiskey itself shouldn´t be missed and
let´s be honest how cute is the suit with the matching hat on top.
Last
but not least chocolate, of course. My dad really
likes
loves loves loves is
addicted to chocolate and couldn´t live without it, chocolate has to
be included in all of his gifts. So this bar is totally different
compared to ordinary chocolate. The chambers are filled with Jack
Daniels Tennesse Whiskey so there are two things the enjoys in one.
There
would have been many other items I could have included into his box
but I decided to go for his absolute favortites.
He
really loves his box and stores it at a place in the living room
where he can always see it.

….

Thank
you for sharing your thoughts and ideas on how to ask your best man.
So
I hope you could collect some inspiration. Maybe you this could be helpful for any future finacés.

Be sure to check back next week for a DIY on wedding table decor. 

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Pant trends – denim culottes and blush….

Hi guys,

(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)

I hope Spring is also all over the place you live. Here it means there are blooms and blossoms everywhere. The flowers and trees almost exploded cause of the sudden warm hot weather. It was about 27 ° degrees the whole weekend. Unbelievable warm.

So I totally flipped my closet udside down to get to the sandals and shorts and light and airy blouses. I mean we don´t know how long this weajter lasts so you have to dress in the now. 

This cute baby pink blouse was another find from the Zara special price selection (also available online) and only 17 Euro. I have worn it several times since I got it and it is just super comfortable and I really love the color. You can tie a bow around your neck or just leave it open and the sleeves are terrific. 

I paired it with a pair of culottes. To be more specific a pair of denim culottes. Culottes have been en vogue since last year and I have the feeling they are getting more and more popular. I also have some other styles I am going to share with you soon.

I can understand that not everyone is a friend of culottes. The shape is not comparable to anything else but you really should give them a try. I was sceptic too cause I thought that they would make me appear even smaller than I am but pairing them with heels made all the difference here and they are really comfortable with the wide leg and the high waist.

Did you give them a try already ??

Fashion Trends – how to style the kimono trend….

….


Hi guys and happy Monday,

(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)

another week has started (and really how can the weekend go by so quickly) and I am all about new looks and trends.


I have spotted the kimono trend a few weeks ago and I am obsessed. This is such a versatile trend it is incredible.


You can style a kimono with a pants/cami or short/cami combo or with a skirt/shirt combo or even with a dress like I did.


I really loved this look a lot. I have worn it on Friday while running some errands and not only is it totally fashionable but so comfortable. Like really comfortable. And oh so flattering.


There are so many different kimonos in colors and patterns out there I am pretty sure everyone can find a favorite.


I got my kimono from Only and have loved it till the day it arrived. The lenght is perfect to wear it with a midi dress like I did in the photos above. But there are also shorter versions available. Also the print is so adorable. The richt blue with the big flowers all over spreads japanese vibes all over.


You could also wear the kimono as a wrap dress if it has an included belt like mine has. I paired it with neutral accessories cause I didn´t want to distract from this beautiful piece. The nude heels are from New Look and I recently got them. As much as I love the shape and the prize. They are super uncomfortable. Maybe my ankles are just to short but I got a blister on every back on my foot and as it started to bleed my shoes got red. Really really uncomfortable.


The bag is an oldie I got for my birthday but a great one. The color is awesome and matches so many looks. Armani Jeans still produces bags in this color but not this particular shape anymore so I have listed a similar one.


Hope you are having a great start into the week. Our weekend was filled with lots of BBQ´s and relaxing also we finally shoot our engagement pictures on Saturday. Can´t wait to see how they turned out Stay tuned.


Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Casual Saturday #28….

….

Hi guys and happy happy Saturday,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
at the moment I am busy getting myself ready cause we are going to shoot our engagement photos today. I know it is a little late but I really wanted to have warm and nice weather and blooms in the photos than gloomy backgrounds and mud and since the weather was bad so long we are shooting today.

I really got a pretty dress in a fantastic ivory shade for the shooting. This would make the perfect bridal shower dress too. Classic and elegant but with a modern twist. 

Afterwards we are going to have a BBQ to reward ourselves and then we have to do some work in the garden. We are building up a fence so we don´t have to watch Chloe all the when she is in the garden with us. 

I went to the mall on Friday to pick up Florian´s suit from the tailor and also to pick up his button down and his vest for the wedding.

Everything is coming together and there are only a few things left to do. I need to think about the candy bar, the guest favors and flowers. We already made the table decor so we are set in this category.

In fact I didn´t do a lot this week and you are probably already tired of hearing this cause as it turns out afterwards the post is still getting pretty long.

So I am stopping at this point and am recaping the week in blog posts:

Monday – Aldi x Steffen Schraut – the little red dress….
Tuesday – My top 4 Spring and Summer lipsticks….
Wednesday – Perfect pair of sneakers to wear with dresses….
Thursday – Festival vibes – the striped dress….
Friday – Homemade cashew creamer….


Here are a few things I have been crazy over lately….
