Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
don´t we all have pieces we tend to wear more often then others from season to season. I definitely do, although I am trying to treat wear my clothing equaly. This scarf for exapmle, I also have worn it here and off the blog a million times. It is just so soft and cuddly and the deep red shade is beyond beautiful. Also the classic tartan pattern matches great for Christmas.

I kept the rest of the outfit pretty simple to set the focus on the deep red color. A patched pair of denim in different shades of gray and an off-white pullover. On top I added a gray knitted beanie with a pom pom on top (this one wasn´t planed but it was just to cold and windy) which turned out pretty cute. 

My lipstick matched perfectly with the scarf. It is from Maybelline in the color Burgundy.

The sunnies are my top tip from H&M. They are on sale for 7€.

We finally have our Christmas card shooting tomorrow and I couldn´t be more excited. I made sure to have coordinated outfits for the three of us so I hope that picutres turn out great.  Also there is lots of stuff I want to get at the mall today so I don´t have to get in there again during the Christmas hype. 

Wishing everyone a happy Friday and as always thanks for stopping by. 

Take care. See you.

My top 3 pumpkin recipes for fall/winter – super easy…..

Keine Kommentare
(Pumpkin bread)

…..

Hi guys, 
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
today I am rounding up my 3 favorite recipes, including pumpkin I have found all over the internet. I have tried oh so many but these are the ones we love and I am making over and over again. Of course you could cook/bake them for Winter too. Pumpkin bread for example would be great to make for Thanksgiving or to bring to a Thanksgiving festivity as a gift.
#1 Pumpkin bread

 3,5 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 cups pumpkin puree
1 cup vegetable oil (I like taking olive oil)
2/3 cups water
3 eggs
2 tablespoons baking soda
1,5 tablesoons salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
 1 tablespoon nutmeg

stir everything together and bake for 1 hour for about 170 degress/ the dough serves two baking pans 

–

#2 Pumpkin spice cake with cinnamon bourbon buttercream frosting

you can view the recipe here – it is from Mara´s blog called M Loves M

#3 Pumpkin casserole with potatoes and minced meat

1 pound minced meat
1 small pumpkin hokaido
1 pound potatoes
1 leek
cheese
salt, pepper, nutmeg

I shredded the pumpkin and the potoates in my kitchen mashine
pre-cook the meat in a skillet first 


put everything together
garnish with salt, pepper and nutmeg and lots of cheese on top


cook for about 45 minutes with 175° degrees until potatoes and pumpkin are cooked

–
These are my absolute favorite things to cook/bake right now, despite the pumpkin spice latte. I have posted a recipe last year. You can view it here.

In this way I am ending my fall posts and going straight into winter which makes sense these days. I am alerady preparing for Christmas. Here is a peek into my kitchen and it only has about 4 ° every day so wearing warm winter clothing is more than appropriate.  

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Winter fashion trend – baker boy hats….

Keine Kommentare

baker boy cap H&M / booties Anna Field on sale!! similar here / super skinny ankle jeans H&M on sale !! / pullover AJC / bag old similar here and here / sunnies H&M on sale!! 

….

Hi guys,

you all might know how obsessed I am with hats so you might understand that I was really excited as a new hat trend came to life. The baker boy hats or also called cadett caps. I totally loved them on page before but I wasn´t quite sure if they where a thing for me to be honest. I really have an ear issue that is why I never wear caps. I think they stick away like mouse ears. 
The first cap I tried on wasn´t nice at all so I was frustrated but I didn´t want to let it go so quick so I ordered from a different brand and the cap was bigger which means it covered my ears and also the front looked way better and here I am wearing my new cap (Florian doesn´t know what to think but I am okay with that cause at first he didn´t like the dark lipsticks but now he does so I am gonna give him some time to adjust).  
This was a look I had worn while we stayed at the Bell Rock Hotel in Rust. I have waited so long to wear this pair of grey velvet booties cause of my broken toe I didn´t fit into a lot of shoes. The boots add such a festive flair to any kind of outfit I am wearing. I think they make a great statement to all the holiday pieces I am planing to wear. 
The turtleneck is in one of my favorite colors for fall, a deep plumish shade with hint of a pink undertone if that makes any sense to you. I paired it with a pair of distressed denim I recently got on sale for 25 €.  The bag is from Lago di Garda but I have liked some similar ones in the widget below and the sunnies are also on sale for about 6 €. 
Are you into all the hat trends too? Which one is your favorite to wear?
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Day trip to Strassbourg – France – what to eat, what to see…

Hi guys,

after our stay at the Europapark Rust we dediced to vistit Straßbourg for our last day. This really made sense because the city was only about 50 km away so it was a quick 30 minutes ride to this beautiful small french city. 

After being owned by the Germans and a short time as a free city, Straßbourg was earned back by the french people and still belongs to them until today. 

The city is famous for different european courts but also for tannery. This happened in petite france. A small quarter a little offside of the city centre. But this kind of work has been discontinued for a long time now and all that still remains are the buildings which where famous for it. 

If you enter the city from the car parks you are just a few corners away from a huge and impressive church called Notre Dame. It is really really big like if you are trying to get the whole building on one photo you would fall back. Before the church there is a huge place with lots of different cafe´s and bistro´s. We went for lunch to one of them after exploring the streets of Straßbourg. 

If you are planing on eating lunch be sure to try out the Quiche Lorraine – a famous french dish including eggs, bacon and onions. 
Right when we entered the city I found a souvenir shop that was right up my alley. Beautiful ceramic mugs, fluffy fleece lined christmas socks and gingerbread men all around. 
You can wander around and explore the city by foot but it you really want to see anything I would recommend a boat ride. We did one and it was really great. Do wouldn´t notice that Straßbourg has so many bridges until you go on a boat. 
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
