I love to play with clothes. I brings me great joy to spend time in my closet and plan my weekly looks. And it is also something I have to do cause I am not a morning person and I can not for the life of me find something to wear in the mornings when it is not already laid out. Actually I started this while I was still in school cause otherwise I would run late everyday.

How I plan my outfits

I always start with one piece like a dress, a cardigan, a sweater, etc. and work my way around from there. For example I have a sweater I want to wear I have a look at the colors and decide what colored skirt or pants I want to pair with it. The moment I have the basic look I start with accessories like a scarf, a handbag, shoes and jewelry. After that I will decide which hair styles works best with my top and earrings. 

The process is super simple and could be done in the mornings as well, but I just can´t do it. 

Of course the current weather and our appointments play a huge role too. It is planning all the way which I love too. In my opinion I am wearing the most creative looks if they are planned upfront. No way of just winging it here.

I am finally coming around to share the details of our little girl back in November. But shortly after the holiday craziness started and we had been pretty sick the majority of December.

Anyways let´s start with Emilia´s baptism. It was as girly as can be. I had everything – from the cake to the flowers, the candles and the party favors in a light pink shade. I was fulfilling my wildest girl dreams and it looked amazing. You can read all about Emilia´s Baptism here.

For Helena´s baptism I wanted eucalyptus to be the main plant and color. I always start with the invitations with a color and theme I would like. But you can read more about How I plan Family Festivities here.

My MIL made the flower bouquets and to be honest these are the most beautiful I have ever seen. The really put a florists work to shame. I wanted to go big with 5 flower bouquets cause flower elevate the table decor much more than anyhting else. Of course sequins shouldn´t be missed when I am hosting so I got these pretty emerald table runner from etsy. 

The hardware around like white etagérès, the cupckae stand and the golden candle holder are all from amazon and frequently used in our home.

Cake and cupcakes have been so so good. I always order them from a café called Orlando di´Lassi in Regensburg. I will never go back cause the inside tastes as good as the outside looks.

The next family party I am planing is Emilia´s birthday, but it will be a little harder this year cause I can not pick the theme I would like. We´ll see.

Sweaters are my most used item of my closet at the moment. Of course it is still cold here in January and it would be the easiest solution but in my opinion it is also the most stylish. I haven´t always had this many sweaters but I learned to how to style them over the years so they won´t look boring in combination with other pieces and am very happy with the choices I make most of the time. 

So this style with the little zipper is called a troyer. It was a hot piece in the 90´s but also gains more and more fans nowadays. It is an easy piece which doesn´t need much styling cause the zipper itself makes it really cool.

I have worn my zip sweater with an olive green bootcut leggings and an oversized black blazer jacket. The monogrammed chainstrap handbag and the cute blockheel pumps round up the whole look. I wanted to keep it on the casual and sophisticated side with this look cause the troyer really doesn´t need much to shine.

The older I get the more I am all about making and keeping memories especially wth my two little children. Time is really moving fast and I want to capture as much as possible and that means many more pictures in the future. I am a paper girl. I need a planner to write in cause appointments on my phone just don´t count for me. Same with pictures. They are forgotten very soon if I don´t sort through them and print some from time to time cause I won´t go back years and thousands of phots to look at them. So photo boxes come in very handy. 

How I store our Photos

We have a ton of photos, especially after moving in together years ago we have all of our childhood photos to sort through as well. We have photos from our wedding, from vacation, festivities and of course our children. 

 

How I store our Christmas Cards

Cards usually come in lots of different sizes and finding a cute storage box to fit them all is quite the task so I am going with Katey McFarlan´s tip and store all of our Christmas cards and cards we get from friends and family on these little rings. They are super easy to use. I got a box of 50 (will probably last forever) for a few Euro and they really made my life easier. You just use a perforator and punch a little whole into the card and put it onto the ring and you are done.
