Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
I am sharing a pretty casual look on the blog today (obviously only pretty casual for me). About a  week ago I was asked to dress casual, but what is casual in general and is it the same for everyone. It certainly works with a shirt/denim combo. I also wore one but people didn´t think of my look as casual. Long story short. If you are a person who loves to dress up everyday, all days like me it is hard to go all the way back to really be casual. There is nothing wrong with it I am just saying the lines are pretty blurred.

So my casual denim/shirt look was rounded up by a pair of white mules, a little polka dot silk scarf and a vibrant lip color. Whoopsie!!

I totally love a pearl studded sweater and got my eyes on this one I am going to order with some other pieces from SheIn. They sell the most unusal pieces and I totally love that.

Wedding Wednesday – my bridal makeup and all the products I used….

Keine Kommentare

….

Good morning my darling friends,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
I am sharing my wedding make-up look with you today. I am very picky with make-up and if I don´t end up liking the feeling of a product on my face I have to remove it.

For this and some other reasons I decided to my wedding make-up by myself. If Duchess Kate can do it so can I, am I right? I have started months before to test out products I heard where worth the splurge to find the perfect makeup combos for my wedding makeup. 

These are my top picks for the face:
Face Cream – Clinique Acne Solutions all-over clearing treatment

Face Primer – Kiko Matte Face Base
Concealer – Lancome color
Foundation – MAC Studio Fix color
Face Powder – Maybelline Fit Me color 
Fixing Powder – MAC Translucent Powder 

Side note: I always let the product set for about 10 minutes before I put on the next one. So for example if you are using a face primer let it set before applying your concealer and same with your foundation.

Highlighter – MAC Mineralize Skinfinish
 
For the lips: 
Lip Primer – MAC Prep + Prime Lip
Liner – MAC Lip Pencil color Dervish
Lip color – Smashbox Always On Matte Liquid Lipstick color Big Spender

For the eyes/brows:
Fake Lashes – Red Cherry model 747S
Lash Glue – Fing´rs
Under eye highlight – Smashbox Cali Contour Palette
Finishing spray – MAC Prep + Prime Fix Rose

I really loved my makeup and think it was the right decision doing it by myself. I also know that it was kind of colorful and bold since most brides go with a nude lipstick and just a hint of blush, but this is how I am and how I feel best so I think this was totally appropriate for me cause in the end I was the bride and had to feel as comfortable and pretty as possible. 

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Sinister Halloween table scape….

Good morning friends,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung – Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
can you tell me what happened over night? Why it is freezing in the morning? As much as I love fall I am not ready for frozen car windows and super cold leather seats. I broke out my winter coat today cause it only had 1 degrees outside. Anyways let´s get to today´s post.

Are there any other holiday loving, Christmas awaiting folks over here ??


I love the holidays. Love. Love. Love. I don´t know why – maybe because of the festive mood or the family get togethers or the delicioius food or maybe everything together – I just love it. Starting with the beginning of fall there are lots of holidays coming like Halloween, Thanksgiving and of course Christmas.

So let´t start with the first one – Halloween. Usually we are at home for Halloween, watch some scary movies and hand out candy to all the trick-or-treaters on our street but last year we headed to the Europapark in Rust, Germany for their Halloween decorated theme park and their parades. It was magical and mystical all in one. Have a look at the hotel here.

So since we are sticking with our old schedule this year we are having a Halloween dinner date at home including some scary decoration and sinister foods.

I am sharing my Halloween table scape today to give you some inspiration for the most horrifying day of the year.
I got this blood drenched table runner from Galeria Kaufhof, a store I personally love. They have all kinds of place mats, kitchen towels, aprons and cotton napkins. I added a chandelier with black candles to the table cause I think this will always fit just change the color of the candles and put on some spider webs. 

The black lanterns are from Ikea and I filled them up with straw I had left from our bridesmaid boxes. Always good to keep stuff like that cause you never know when you will need it again.

The grave stone placards are from amazon. Be sure to have a look since they do have lots of interesting stuff like crows and bones and spiderwebs.

All the other things are pretty random and easy to get year round like the black cotton napkins, the napkin rings and the place mats. 

The punch I made is from Martha Stewart and I also made some hummus to serve with crackers and got some Italian antipasti  as an entrée. The main course included a steak cause I couldn´t think of a better halloween food than a bloody piece of meat on my plate.


Are you planing on celebrating a dinner date/party at home or are you going out. I love staying in and scaring the neighbours children.

The checked pant and bucket bag….

Hello friends,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung-Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
I really love me a good pair of stretchy pants which aren´t made of denim and even better when they include plaid. Plaid is one of the most worn patterns in terms of my fall obsession. It really gets me in the mood and I totally love all the variety and different plaids which are on the market. 


I recently got this pair of slacks at H&m and I love it. Since the pattern includes so many different colors there are lots of possibilites to style it differently.

The bag I am wearing is a bucket bag I got from Mango during our honeymoon (I have forgotten a lot of stuff, this usually never happens so I had to buy a lot of thing during our vacation – mostly toiletries). I know that this style has been around quite a while but I totally adore it and can´t stop wearing it. Maybe it was also about finding the right bag for me. Anyways there are so many different ones out there and I think they are great for day and night. 


A chestnut colored cardigan or sweater has became a must-have staple piece for fall. Not only is it the ultimate fall color, it is also such a great shade to combine with other colors.
