Hi guys and happy Monday,

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

another week has started (and really how can the weekend go by so quickly) and I am all about new looks and trends.


I have spotted the kimono trend a few weeks ago and I am obsessed. This is such a versatile trend it is incredible.


You can style a kimono with a pants/cami or short/cami combo or with a skirt/shirt combo or even with a dress like I did.


I really loved this look a lot. I have worn it on Friday while running some errands and not only is it totally fashionable but so comfortable. Like really comfortable. And oh so flattering.


There are so many different kimonos in colors and patterns out there I am pretty sure everyone can find a favorite.


I got my kimono from Only and have loved it till the day it arrived. The lenght is perfect to wear it with a midi dress like I did in the photos above. But there are also shorter versions available. Also the print is so adorable. The richt blue with the big flowers all over spreads japanese vibes all over.


You could also wear the kimono as a wrap dress if it has an included belt like mine has. I paired it with neutral accessories cause I didn´t want to distract from this beautiful piece. The nude heels are from New Look and I recently got them. As much as I love the shape and the prize. They are super uncomfortable. Maybe my ankles are just to short but I got a blister on every back on my foot and as it started to bleed my shoes got red. Really really uncomfortable.


The bag is an oldie I got for my birthday but a great one. The color is awesome and matches so many looks. Armani Jeans still produces bags in this color but not this particular shape anymore so I have listed a similar one.


Hope you are having a great start into the week. Our weekend was filled with lots of BBQ´s and relaxing also we finally shoot our engagement pictures on Saturday. Can´t wait to see how they turned out Stay tuned.


Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Casual Saturday #28….

Hi guys and happy happy Saturday,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
at the moment I am busy getting myself ready cause we are going to shoot our engagement photos today. I know it is a little late but I really wanted to have warm and nice weather and blooms in the photos than gloomy backgrounds and mud and since the weather was bad so long we are shooting today.

I really got a pretty dress in a fantastic ivory shade for the shooting. This would make the perfect bridal shower dress too. Classic and elegant but with a modern twist. 

Afterwards we are going to have a BBQ to reward ourselves and then we have to do some work in the garden. We are building up a fence so we don´t have to watch Chloe all the when she is in the garden with us. 

I went to the mall on Friday to pick up Florian´s suit from the tailor and also to pick up his button down and his vest for the wedding.

Everything is coming together and there are only a few things left to do. I need to think about the candy bar, the guest favors and flowers. We already made the table decor so we are set in this category.

In fact I didn´t do a lot this week and you are probably already tired of hearing this cause as it turns out afterwards the post is still getting pretty long.

So I am stopping at this point and am recaping the week in blog posts:

Monday – Aldi x Steffen Schraut – the little red dress….
Tuesday – My top 4 Spring and Summer lipsticks….
Wednesday – Perfect pair of sneakers to wear with dresses….
Thursday – Festival vibes – the striped dress….
Friday – Homemade cashew creamer….


Here are a few things I have been crazy over lately….

Food Friday – homemade cashew creamer(dairy free)….

Hi guys,

since I am cutting out most of the dairy products from my diet I am always on the search for other options and also for new products. I am a huge coffe lover addict so the most important part for me was to find a replacement for the milk in my coffee. 

I was drinking soy milk for a long time and then I switched to oat milk which I honestly enjoy much more. It tastes a little sweeter and I like it a lot better. Recently I was at the supermarket and looking for another type of milk – you can´t have to many options am I right – and I wanted to try the cashew milk but in fact I wasn´t ready to pay 7 Euro for one litre. This is insane expensive for just adding to your coffee. So I decided to try it myself.

I bought a pack of cashews and drove home.

The recipe is really simple. Step one is to put the needed amount of cashews into a bowl of water and let them soak for about 4 hours. I always take one cup so I have at least a little meassurement.
Afterwards you pour into a strainer to get rid of the water. Put your cashews into your blender, add water, I add two cups but this depends on how thick you like your creamer. 
For flavor you can add a teaspoon of vanilla paste, or a table spoon of maple syrup or even agave syrup to add some sweetness.
Blend everything together and fill it into a glass jar. Whether you are taking one with a screw cap or a swing top use a funnel to avoid the spilling and the mess afterwards. I buy the bottles at our local drug store but they are available almost everywhere.

You can store the cashew creamer in your fridge for about 5 days so I would recommend smaller bottles if you are not a daily coffee drinker.
This might be the easiest recipe I have ever posted. 
Are you guys also love to make things by your own instead of buying it?

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

have you seen that the annual music festival Coachella in California has started on Friday?

For this reason I got a little festival crazy and got some things which would pair really nicely with the dancing and partying festival crowd down there.
The dress is from the great price section from Zara and it was only 10 Euro. I really love the stripes and the color. The red, tan and navy pairs so well together.  Also the asymetrical ruffle hem is really cute and the material is super soft and super stretchy.
The suede leather jacket has been sitting in my closet for quite a while now but there is the right time and look for every piece of clothing. A matching pair of espandrilles pairs perfectly for the festival scene. Mine are from Vero Moda and true to size.

A hat would also be really nice. A feodora or a felt hat but I had a pretty good hair day this day. Gotta take ´em how they come 😉

 Are you up for festivals or do you prefer less crowded places?
