Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
there is one outstanding handbag trend every year and it get´s pretty clear at the beginning of the year. Last year the most popular trend had been bags with thick and outstanding shoulder straps – embroidered, colored, with studs or with 3D flowers. Anything was allowed and everything was popular. Read my original post here.
This year a huge handbag designer sets the tone for this trend and let´s my heart skip a beat everytime I see someone carry a ring handle bag. So you have two choices if you want to hop onto this fashion trend. Spend a thousand Euro or get some on the more affordable side.
That is what I did. I got a ring handle bag from Springfield in this beautiful baby blue shade in the softest material. It is called the Bandolera Celeste, a pretty special name but for the bag just right.
The bag closes with a magnet and has golden hardware which is absolutely fabulous.
And what I also really like is that it has an attachable shoulder strap so you can also wear it as a crossbody bag. The ring handles are perfect to carry and to slide it back to your wrist also they match perfect with a pair of golden hoops.

It is totally affordable for 30 Euro – if you want to hop on the trend.

For this look I paired it with a matching cardigan and a striped midi dress. I personally love the midi length a lot more than any other cause they usually stay in place and don´t get to short if you are moving around a lot. Also this dress gives you a stunning heads turning silhoutte my loves. And you don´t want to miss that am I right?!

The pumps are made of suede leather and I snagged them for a fraction of the price at the Buffalo site. Aren´t the flowers adorable. They cost about 45 Euro including shipping and are also available in a beautiful red shade which would be perfect for Spring.

Do you have any weekend plans yet? I literally have nothing planed. Going to stay in jammies all weekend since I have to learn and it still is going to be freezing cold.

Wedding Wednesday – what to put into the bridesmaids boxes….

Will you be my bridesmaid cards My bridal shower / box Nanu Nana / excelsior amazon / pink sheets amazon / bridesmaids gown Asos / Yankee Candle Wedding Day amazon / No Ops pouches Douglas / engraved champagne glasses amazon / Freixenet rose mini amazon / Lindt pralines amazon


….

Hi guys,

you all know by now that we are getting MARRIED and it is still so unreal to me. A huge factor and help every bride are the bridesmaids. Whether you have 1 or 20 bridesmaids they are supposed to help you, to give you advice and to stand by your side when it comes to deciding elementary wedding questions.

I have three bridesmaids. My two best friends I have known for several years now and Florian´s sister who has also become such a good and close friend.

I made a package for each of them going along with a “Will you be my bridesmaid?” card I have found at the My Bridal Shower internet shop. 

I got the boxes (only available in stores) in creme in the largest size they had from nanu-nana. A store with decoration items you can also find online. I stuffed the boxes with excelsior. Not the normal one for moving. I got a way softer material so it wouldn´t scratch a thing. To cover everything before the cap of the box was coming on top I got this pink tissue also from amazon – matched the theme pretty well.

But let´s get to the goodies. I got a personalized champagne glass for each of them with has their name engraved. Of course I had to add some bubbly too, cause how bad would be an empty glass? To round up the fabulous taste of the Freixenet rose champagne I also got small boxes with all the classic chocolate pralines from Lindt I enjoy so much. They also came in a gorgeous matching pink shade.


Why not gifting a good smelling box? I figured the easiest way to pull that off would be by adding a Yankee Candle since the fragrances are insane intense and this small candle really is enough for the size of the box. Also it says Wedding Day and I already do have the big jar of it.

The pink bridesmaid gowns had to be a part of the box and maybe they are also the main part but since I got myself a white bride robe I wanted to get my bridesmaids the matching pink ones. We can all wear them while getting ready. 

And last but not least is the cutest thing I have seen in such a long time. I also had this product in my a monthly favorites post many month ago. A tiny beauty bag from NoOps. These are just the cutest and you would be surprised as much as you would be impressed how much different stuff this little case holds (a headband, 4 bobby pins, a nailfile, clear nail polish, three towelettes, a lip balm, blotting papers, tooth sticks, make-up remover wipes, a mini sewing set and two buttons). Unbelievable right!!!!
What did you gift your bridesmaids and would you have any other ideas ?

Hi guys,

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

another super cold day has hit us but what can we do – nothing?!


So since I don´t want to shoot Winter looks anymore I am sharing one I had worn a few weeks ago for cake tasting – yes we already have a wedding cake with the best filling I have ever tasted. Heavenly. I might bail on dinner and jus eat cake at my wedding. And why not – since I am the bride I can do whatever I want.


But let´s move on to the look. This is one you could easily transition into Spring. Just swipe out the booties for slippers or wedges and leave the beret at home and you are good to go. 


I have already had the velvet jacket last year but since it is such a beauty I have worn it so many times since. 

The belt really is one of my favorite finds ever I think. I is such a great dupe for the pearl embellished Gucci belt and I would have never found this one but I saw it on Living after Midnite and ordered it right away. 

 To keep the belt and the blazer jacket in the foreground I paired it with a pair of skinny jeans and a simple white ruffle blouse. The black and white bag matched the color theme perfectly and the leopard print booties added some twist to the look. 

Modern and trendy but not as colorful as you would think of me.

 This week is my last posting Winter appropriate looks so be sure to queck back if you want some inspiration on the last cold days or check back next week cause we are going Spring full time.

The Devil wears Prada inspried look – black ruffle dress / cognac brown accessories….

Hi guys,

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

another week is starting today. Cruel early and freezing cold. This is going to be my nemesis if the weather won´t get better soon.


Anyways I had worn this look last Friday and I totally loved it. I always loved the combination of orange/later cognac brown and black. This pairs so well and looks really good together.


For this outfit I was inspired from Anne Hathaway in the Devil wears Prada. This was one of her great looks from the movie and reminded me of some similar pieces in my closet.

I didn´t wear a coat in my look but I have worn this beautiful black dress with ruffle detailing on the collar and a waist belt. The dress is old, I got it from a sale some years ago but still love the style.


The boots are from Buffalo and I have to admit I am not wearing them so often. Not that they aren´t pretty or comfortable but I just forget about them from time to time. I know shame on me but this isn´t my go-to color in the Winter.


But let´s talk about the handbag. It is from a brand called Chi Chi Fan from Hamburg  and the style is called the City Bag. It is one of the softest bags I have ever had (the leather is just so soft – the other one is my Coach satchel bag) and the lining is super cute. Mine has a red and white gingham print inside but this differs from color to color (about 20 colors available and also a suede leather version). The price is about 360 Euro but the quality is insanely good so I think it is totally worth it.


The tights are from H&M and last season but they are still so pretty. I am always opting for a pair of tights with a pretty pattern since it is cold for so long around here.


Have you found some movies you have been inspired by lately? I would love to know.
