Hi guys,

by following my blog you might know that I have a thing for themed dinner parties or
tablescapes. You can see my latest here, here, here, here and here.
And if you
are new to my blog you are going to know now.

I always
loved Mexican food so I thought why not invite our friends and neighbours over
to a Mexican evening. I was planning on a three course meal with an aperitif
and it turned out really well. 
As a
starter I served homemade guacamole and salsa for dipping with nachos and a
margarita. 

The main
course where baked burritos which where delicious. A really easy recipe with
great taste. 
For desert I made a fruit salad in a watermelon (looked so cool) and Churros (I tried to make them before cause I was
really scared that they wouldn´t work out, maybe you saw them in one of my casaul Satruday posts already) and they turned out really good. Easier than I thought.

But let´s
have a look at the table decoration. I went for the full Mexican theme with
little sombreros, matching confetti and a piñata. The napkins are from Butlers and they are the cutest I could have found. Most of the decoration is from amazon cause they just have everything.


If you want to know a recipe just email me.


As always thanks for stopping by.


Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

in my opinion there is always something that reminds me a lot of France when I am wearing a striped shirt/pullover and a red lip. It is kind of a signature look for the Parisian girls. Of course there are many more fabolous looks but I like this one the most.

So for today´s look I have teamed up with Zaful to show you guys one of my first fall looks for this year.
I got this super cute and comfortable floral patched striped sweatshirt. They have so many cute pieces for fall you really should have a look.
I always was a sucker for stripes so this is totally matching my target. And the flower patches on the sleeves make it even more beautiful and add such a romantic touch to the whole outftit. The material isn´t very thick which makes it perfect for transitioning from colder summer days into fall. It runs large so if you don´t want it a little oversized like I did you definitely should go down one size.
I paired it with a pair of black distressed jeans with a high waist. Another focus of the outfit are the pointed toe heels from Buffalo in black and white.
It almost isn´t a real fall looking if you aren´t adding a hat to it. 
The red tote from Michael Kors and a bold red lip made the pefect addition to the outfit. 
Since there is a new year of school starting soon Zaful has a great promotion starting from August 8th until the 22nd. You can win free clothes for you and your friend for going back to school.
Hope you all had a great weekend. We are having a holiday tomorrow over here. So this means sleeping in and laying in the sun for me. So on another note wouldn´t a shirt dress be perfect for a lazy and comfortable day outside?!
Thanks for stopping by. 
Take care. See you.

 

Thanks to Zaful for sponsoring today´s post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hi guys, 

it is Saturday – finally. I had been so tired the whole week that we slept in pretty long today. Hope that is enough for at least today. So sorry for posting so late today.

We went to Ikea yesterday to get some furniture and decoration pieces for my closet and hopefully there is time between shooting outfits and going to dinner today to build some of it up.
 (There is gonna be a huge “casual saturday” post next Saturday)


I had worn this look a few weeks ago when it was still hot and I really loved the mix of lace and this eyelet skirt. 
Usually I think the combination of blush and black is a little hard for summer (in my opinion) but this really worked.
I got this t-shirt with the lace detailing around the collar from H&M – but it is old now. 
For accesories I had worn these strapped heels and a matching bag in a blush tone from LYDC.


That is a look which you could take from work to play so easily. Classy with a modern twist.


What are your weekend plans ?


Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

My top 8 summer beauty must haves….

Keine Kommentare

….


Happy (finally) Friday guys,


if you had the view I am having today you would also think that this post is a little ironic (at least for today). It is raining cats and dogs and it only has 12 degrees so there is nothing about summer and hot days in the middle of August today.

But since we are still in the middle of summer (at least on the calendar) I am sharing my top 8 beauty prodcuts with you today. 

 Beauty products are differing from season to season as the climate and the temperatures change, so your skin and your body has different needs. I have rounded up all items I am currently using.



1. EOS – lipbalm with spf – grapefruit
I have been loving those little round lip balms since I saw them the first time in the US back in 2010. Ever since I have been using them all the time. You will always find one in my bathroom, at my night stand or in my handbag. They have new scents for their summer editions every year and I really like that they include SPF.


2. 4711 – fragranced towelettes 
This is one of my favorite scents for summer. It is such a fresh and light scent. This one is an all time classic and my mom used it when she was a teenager so this brand existst for a really long time now. They also have new summer editions for their perfumes every year. This year I got the towelettes. A package contains 16 pieces and I am using them on the go for a perfume touch up or just for a quick refreshment.


3. Treaclemoon – shower gel these lemonade days
Especially in summer I love the light and fruity shower 


4. Yves Rocher – shower gel grapefruit from Florida


5. Escada – perfume “Fiesta Carioca”
The first perfume I have ever owned was from Escada. It was called “Island Kiss” and I loved it. Sadly it was only for one season but they brought it out again a few years later so I stocked up on this but I am also testing the new one every year and I think they smell pretty similar which make them almost all a pretty hit. 


6. Yves Rocher –  Monoi de Tahiti –  shimmering body oil
I would call this my staple body oil for. I have been using and purchasing this for the 3rd year now and I still love it. Especially for vacation. It just has the right amount of glow and sparkle for tan skin. And the smell is oh so good.


7. Manhattan – pink lipstick color – fun fuchsia
You at least have to have one neon lipstick for summer whether it is a bold pink or orange or a vibrant red tone.


8. Korres –  red vine sun protection spray for hair 
I had been searching through a lot of local drug store for a sun protection spray for my hair but I was really disapointed that I only found one and the smell was just disgusting. So I went online and got this spray from Korres. You can use it right after washing your hair but also when it is dry. It is developed in Greece so it might be perfect for Germany cause we don´t have as much sun as they do over there. Haven´t used it only a few times since I got it so I might do a full review in my next favorites. 
(this product isn´t in the picutres cause it arrived a few days after shooting)

Yankee Candle – summer peach

As I am a candle hoarder and looking for new scents every season it is no surprise that I had to try out this summer scent. And peaches are one of the less fruit I really like.
