Hi guys,

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

it is Monday again and I don´t know what to think. The weekend was great. I got so much work done (redecorated and decluttered our bathroom), tried some new recipes, shot blog photos and also visited a lot of people. So Monday hit me like a hurricane with all this back to work crap.


As you may remember, we had been to Lake Garda in Italy about three weeks ago and we also went to Milan by train for one day. Milan really is an intense city with so many impressions and all the huge and historical buildings. It didn´t disapoint.

The photos above where taken at Galleria Vittorio Emanule II (read my Milan post here), an incredible luxurious shopping centre with marble floors and a glass ceiling. 

You can find stores like Louis Vuitton and Prada in there but also several restaurant and they also have two rooftop bars with view to the dome, one from Campari and one from Aperol. I wanted to go up for a drink but after eight hours of exploring we where really tired and just wanted to go home.


The look I am wearing in the picutres above is my interpretation of a casual day as an Italian women wearing a pair of culottes, a cute t-shirt, a straw hat and a chic hand bag.

Meanwhile I turned to a real culotte lover, I own several pairs and like to wear them all. They are super comfortable and in my opinion enormous flattering and oh so chic. So easy to dress them up with a pair of heels and a cute button down or to dress them down with flats and a t-shirt like I did. 

I really hope your day started better than mine. Anyways thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

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

do you have a color combination you are always gravitating towards. Like white and red or black and red or for example a more vibrant one like turquoise and pink or orange and pink. Got it. 


One of my favorite color pairings is orange and pink. I really don´t know what it is but it blends in so well together. They are not even complimentary colors but they match so let´s post this as a win.


I have found this cardigan through Emily from The Sweetest Thing Blog and I have seen it on a bunch of other bloggers too.


A oversized cardigan with a great color pairing is a staple you can wear year round. There are days in Summer where it cools down at night, also if you are inside and the air condition is freezing. Also a colorful cardigan is great for transitioning into fall and around fall. You see. This is a year round staple.


 Al the nude colors and of course denim can be matched with vibrant colors. 

 I have worn this look some weeks ago when Summer has made a quick brake and cold winds where around and it was perfect.


Since my food post was on Wednesday this week I changed my schedule but next week is going to be normal again. 


As always thanks for stopping by and a happy weekend. Take care. See you.

The best Summer Sales right now and what to stock up on…

….

Hi guys, 
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
I am checking back with a quick sale post cause there are so many good ones going on these days where you can get some items for more than 50% off.

I always love to stock up on items during the opposite season which means if you are looking for booties now you can get a high quality pair for an awesome price.

Just think about a pair of flat tan colored chelsea booties with golden studs. They have been on trend last Fall and Winter and there are not going anywhere next season so if you also want a pair of those or a second one be sure to buy now.

I now I might sound crazy but this is why I never pay the full price on items. I have worked in the retail sector for many years and I know how it works. Also prices will be up again as the seasons items are made for come closer.

Here some of my favorite trendy pieces for fall and winter you should buy now:
Sock boots  – don´t own a pair now but I definitely gonna get one for Fall
 Chelsea boots – still going strong 
Cut-out booties – great for transititoning from late Summer into Fall

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1530691634421?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
cozy blanket scarves – the air is soon starting to get cooler so why not use this as a soft and cozy blanket until you can actually use it as a scarf

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1530691634421?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
denim – a great pair of denim is to wear year round but not as requested in summer as in the other season (I for example can´t wear denim in the summer cause when I start sweating before I pulled it up it won´t go anywhere over my hips)
!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1530691634421?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
leather jackets – definitely is too warm but I have snagged a cute vibrant red one I am going to wear the moment it is cooling

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1530691634421?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
hand bags – you can hardly go wrong by ordering a marked down shopper in colors like black or taupe or even red which goes with everything

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1530691634421?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);

I could go on and on but you have to see for yourself. I have listed a bunch of stuff which is really interesting for you guy. Be sure to be quick if you want anything cause some articles go fast.
Also be aware that the Amazon Prime Day starts in about two weeks.
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

2 patriotic looks for the 4th of July – dressy casual and sporty chic…


….
Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
I
am sharing two great 4th of July inspired looks with you today. The
color combination red, blue and white always gets me and I also love to
wear it throughout the year. So for this years holiday look I have
styled two outfits depending on where you are headed to celebrate such an
important day in history. 



Be sure to check back for an awesome U.S. themed cake on Wednesday. I am sure you have all the ingredients at home.

First of all I love a white button down. It is chic on one side and can be dressed up in so many ways and on the other hand it is a total staple item to my closet and if I am in need of a quick look I put on a button down / pair of jeans combo and leave the house. But that doesn´t mean that you look isn´t changeable. I added a pair of red espandrilles and a red headband to the look. Also lipstick totally matched the red hues of my outift. The bag is from Tommy Hilfiger and a sale find from years ago but totally matches the red, white and blue stars theme. I would categorize this look as dressy casual since it is not to much to still wear to a casual ocassion but a button down is a lot more dressier than a t-shirt.

I would say this look is sportive chic not only sporty. And how gorgeous is the stars & stripes pullover I ordered from Asos. The brand is called Pull & Bear and a total match for the theme, also it is super soft insid so you won´t freeze if the night gets chilly. I have worn it the whole weekend here. Hasn´t been that warm. 
Of course I wanted to go on with the same color theme for my second look. The blue dress I am wearing is about 4 years old but you can get a blue shirt dress almost everyhwere. Also my handbag is still available. Oldie but goldie. Needless to say more.
Another real American classic is my matching pair of Chuck Taylor sneakers. Totally love them. They work for so many looks and add such a cool and sportive vibe to the look.
