Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
after our coming back from our getaway to Vienna there where lots of pretty new things in my suitcase. So after I unpacked I started outfit planing with my new things. I you have been following me for a little now you might now how much I love velvet. Doesn´t matter which piece it is I just love it. 
I got this velvet moto jacket from the sale rack of Forever21. It has this gorgeous dusty rose shade and it is so soft. The style makes it a pretty cool piece. I decided to wear it with a dress and otk boots since a pair of pants just didn´t do its justice. 

They got lots of things left but only some rare treasures and this was one it. I am still totally into velvet. I also wanted a velvet dress for Christmas too but I had so many other option I wanted to wear so there literally wasn´t an ocassion left. 

Anther beautiful velvet piece it this bag. What do you think? I totally might order this one….

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys and happy Monday,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
this was one cozy and warm outfit I had worn during our Vienna trip. It has been so cold from time to time although the sun was shining. The knitted headband usually wasn´t part of the outfit but we bought it at the H&M store cause otherwise my ears would have been frozen.
The sweater I am wearing in this outfit post is from Mango and it is the style I got during the Black Friday sales. I ordered it in a mustardy yellow and creme but I ended up just keeping the yellow one. But now it has been on sale for 20 € – which is half of the price now – so I ended up getting the navy and the creme one too. Also wanted the purple one but this sold out first. But aren´t the beel sleeves just the prettiest?!
The cozy vest is from last year. I bought it when we where in Prague for Christmas shopping in 2016 and loved it ever since. It has the faux fur on the front and is knitted in the back. It is indeed the softest material I have ever worn.
Combined with a pair of black distressed denim and black booties the focus was on the top of the look To round up the outfit I combined my brown Michael Kors shopper, the creme headband and a pair of statement earrings too it. The sunnies are also a pair I love and I had in black first but I really love the turtoise style so I had to have these. 

In fact my whole color theme of our Vienna trip has been black, brown and creme. Pairs perfectly with all the other colors. 
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys, 


I am back with a recipe today which I haven´t posted in a long time but there are several things I want to try out this year in the category food and drinks and if I succeed in making them I am going to post them here. 

Since it was my birthday about two weeks ago I was thinking which little treats I could make for my work place and my line dance group. I didn´t want to make anything to fancy or something which would take too much time so I decided to stay in the no bake category. There are so many recipes I didn´t even have a clue. 

As a huge lover of oatmeal and peanut butter it didn´t take a lot of time convincing for me to „bake“ the oatmeal peanut butter bars.  Find the recipe here.


Ingredients:
3 cups oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup peanut butter


They are really easy to make and delicious as hell – just follow the step by step pictures. You can´t do much wrong. But be careful, eating them is highly addictive!!!

Be sure to check back in my food and drinks category for other recipes I have already tried and approved. I am planing on making my own coffee syrup and there will also be some light recipes for Spring and Summer. 

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

let´s move on with the travel guide for Vienna. You can read the first part here.
Day 2
On Monday our second day – and also my birthday – we went to see the Prater straight after breakfast. The Prater is like a small amusement park area with rollercoasters, candy stores and also a big ferris wheel with wooden cabins. It is famous for its old wooden cabins which makes it the real sight of the Prater. I wanted to take a ride on it but unfortunately it was closed for maintenance.
The Prater also had a Madame Tussauds but since we where at the London exhibition we didn´t want to spend so much time in there (altough they probably would have had Sissi).

After our pretty short stay at the Prater we took the Underground and went straigth to the Kärntnerstreet – one of the biggest shopping streets in Vienna. The buildings are all really old and beautiful so they had some shops like Douglas and also H&M in the most beautiful builidings I have ever seen. I got some lip products from MAC I wanted and also some pieces from the H&M store cause it was pretty cold and we didn´t bring any scarves, gloves or beanies with us.

Dressed like for a Canadian Winter we took the Underground and went a little outside of the old town to visit the Hundertwasserhaus and museum. Friedensreich Hundertwasser was an Austrian architect and artist. He designed several buildings all over the world with his signature style including lots of colors and crooked floors and walls. Also his paintings are very famous.

Afterwards we went to the Sacher café to enjoy some of the traditional Sacher cake as my birthday cake. The location was beautiful and so traditional with old coffee grinders, red velvet sofas and seats and marble tables. The staff is really nice and attentive so there are no long waiting times. They also serve other delicious cakes and sweets but we sticked to a classic chocolate cake with cream.

On another note – Austria has its own drug store chain called Bippa. They do have their own make-up bruh line and I really love them. They are really affordable and in a good quality and also they are white and pink so there is nothing wrong about that. But they sell out fast so you might have to check different stores.

After our afternoon coffee we went to the opera of Vienna to take some photos of the beautfiul building but you can´t go in without a ticket at all.

So since it started snowing/raining afterwards and got really cold and uncomfortable we decided to go back to the hotel and to get ready for the evening.

We reserved a table at the Addicted to Rock restaurant. Every city we visit there is always one day we eat burgers for dinner and which day would be a better cheat day than my birthday. The restaurant had a great atmosphere and a very modern touch. With a big bar as the centerpiece of the room with metall walls and bulbs on ropes hanging low. With wooden boxes as tables and brown armchairs and sofas. I have to admit although I liked it very much it is hard to eat properly by sitting so low and soft on a sofa.


Day 3
This was our last real day so we took a final stroll through the old town to have a last look at the tiny alleyways and the cute old shops. 

After that we took another ride on the Underground and went to the Schönbrunn castle. This is the castle where the imperial family including Franz and Sissi spent most of their time. The area really is huge so after walking around we went inside the castle and took the tour through the castle. 

To get a better impression of how big the city really is we decided to go on a hop-on-hop-off tour which was really great. The city is huge and has some really nice spots and some which you shouldn´t set a foot into. We had a closer look at the main train station which is super modern all made of glass and huge. There are so many shops in there it could be a shopping center too. 

There is lots of building going on in Vienna. Huge appartment and office complex are stamped out of the ground. Highly architectural and super modern. Everything built of concrete and/or glass. 

After riding around in the bus for over an hour we got of and took a ride back to our hotel cause we had to get ready for the musical. We watched The Dance of the Vampires. It was awesome. The music, the singers, the costumes and the scenery. 
 It took place at the Ronacher theatre which was a total match. A old building with marble floors, high and wide doors, beautiful wooden staircases and soft red armchairs.
 They offered a special service for the break between two sets to set up champagne for you cause the break is only about 15 minutes and you wouldn´t get ready in time by standing in line.  


The musical took about 2 1/2 hour but it was totally worth it. It wasn´t boring a minute.


We decided to go back to the hotel once the musical was over cause we still needed to pack and we wanted to leave as early as possible the next day cause the weather was about to be really bad.


Overall it was a really nice getaway. 4 days or 3 full days are enough if you aren´t as museum interested as other people might be (cause museums take a lot of time).


If your birthday isn´t in January you should go there a few months later in Spring I think it would be really pretty since there are so many parks. 


Wow this was one heck of a long post but I wanted to tell you as much as possible since anyone is interested. 
You can also mail me directly if there is anything else you want to knwo.


As always thanks for stopping by. Take care. see you.
