Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
since I love the holidays and I love to cook it was the easiest conclusion to say I am hosting a holiday party before my usual Christmas party this year. 

I decided to invite some of our closest friends for a nice and relaxed but festive evening with good food, wine and a pretty tablescape. 

I opted for a red and gold table scape and it turned out great. Somehow I am always gravitating around red but it is just the prettiest and traditional Christmas color but there is a huge change in decor this year so stay tuned, post is going to be up next week.


The little favors on each plate include a few chocolate pralinés and I thought it would be a really nice idea to give something. Also they match with the decor so it was probably a win-win situation.


I like to serve an aperitif to give to the guests when they arrive. It is much nicer to stand or gather and chat a little at first waiting till everyone arrives than sitting there and waiting for the food.

I made cranberry mimosas as an aperitif which turned out really good. It is a pretty simple recipe. Just mix champagne and cranberry juice how you think it tastes best. This way you can decide on your own if you like it either light or strong. I mixed ones bottle of chamgagne with one bottle of cranberry juice. For decor and also for adding some flavor I added some mint leavs on stems and raspberries. 

I wanted to have a little more rustic charm that is why I put them into mason jars and not into champagne flutes. Another reason was cause I wanted to use this super cute straws with the bells in the middle. 

Do you have any holiday parties planed ? 

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys, 
(post contains affiliate links / Beitrag/Werbung enthält Affiliate Links)
another month is over and Christmas is almost here now so besides all the other things I am preparing for the most wonderful time of the year I am still testing out the new products I got for you. 
Ardell brow sculpting gel
I got this since I was reading so much about brows lately and I hate that mine are looking in every direction when I get home. Yes they might be too long but they should stay where they are. I am not lying to you first I did not know if I would like it cause it has such a jelly consistency and I am not quite sure if it does the trick for me. I really have strange brows. But I am definitely gonna incorporate this into my daily beauty routine. It does hold for a few hours but not the whole day. Although the price is more than okay and the smell is awesome.  
4Lou Too Glam to give a Damn vanity case
I saw it and I had to have it. Isn´t it the coolest?! There are different texts available. Also love this one. The pouch is made of a thick linen material and since it isn´t the biggest it is perfect for your handbag. To carry your make-up or too carry your medicines and other stuff you take with you. It is about 20€ and I would buy it definitely again.
I first saw this on Olivia Jeanette´s insta stories and I was curious. I got this two weeks ago and I have been using it for about ten days now but it is just to early to say if there are any results. If not it is okay cause it is only about 3€. Stay tuned.

 Artdeco nailpolish in – 673 red volcano
– 835 ivy green
For upcoming Christmas there should be two colors outstanding among the others in your closet. Red and green – my all time Christmas favorites. I love the ardeco nailpolishes cause they are high pigmented, last a long time and have a reasonable pricing.



EOS peppermint lip balm – limited edition for Christmas 
I am absoluetly obsessed with this. This is the perfect balm for Christmas time. If you could only know how much I love candy canes in my hot chocolate you would totally understand. You definitely need this if you won´t miss the Christmas smell wherever you go.



I know I have had brow pencils from different brands the last two month and I thought I would prefer them over a powder but I wasn´t really satisfied – although I liked them and will definitely keep them and use them until they are used up. But the brow palette is perfect I love it. I got the color medium and it fits perfectly for my dark blonde eyebrows. I am only using the light shade. The brush isn´t really good so I am using my own. The powder is high pigmented so you won´t need a ton of the product and I think it is totally worth the 23 €.
 This style is a limited edition, I think it might only be available through the holidays. First I wanted all of them but I slowed myself down and thought about which one I could possibly need and I went for the blush brush. It is the best I own now. I has the right amount of solidity and it takes the right amount of product to get some nice color onto your cheeks. And the glitter guys reflects so beautiful in the light!!!!
This smells amazing. So so good. 
I first thought this could work as a sample size cause it really is small but after playing around with it I found out you really need a teeny tiny bit of the powder if you don´t want to use it for Halloween cause since it is translucent it covers and it is buildable.

 L´oréal 2in1 base and top coat
I have only used this as a top coat so far. I don´t like the thought on using this as a base coat since I have a trusted one from essie. But it works really great as a top coat. Dries quick and doesn´t get scratches or chips so easily. For 8 € it also has a great price point and since I have a lot of the L´oréal nail polishes I like using the matching products.

Garnier eye make-up remover
Just another addition. I am really satisfied how it takes of my eye make-up and for the price of 4 € there isn´t a  thing to complain.

Garnier micell facial toner 
Throughout the years I have been using so many facial toner I don´t know if they would be even countable. I had some which smelled awful, I had expensive and cheap ones. I tried trendy ones and some which where on the market forever. I had so many toners which left a gross and sticky feel on my skin but then came Garnier. It is the first one I don´t have to clean my face afterwards cause it is light and has no smell.

Rituals candle
They make some of the best candles on the market. I love Yankee Candles but they are a little better. A little more expensive too but you can have the smell of your favorite shower gel also in your living room now. Perfec addition for a cozy weekend indoors. 

Do you have any favorites ? 

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
I am checking back with great news today. I have found the best and prettiest (in my opinion) shopper bag for work and play at the Mango online store. You won´t have to switch stuff from weekend to work week into totally different bags. It is colorful – is matching with everything – and the shape is perfect whether you are carrying a bottle of water or files.

I found it at the Mango online store and was thrilled when I saw it first. The stripes in different colors are too cool. I always wanted a bag which included more colors but I was always afraid I wouldn´t get enough use out of it. This one is different cause it has so many colors and the pattern isn´t restless. The lines are pretty sleek. 


I paired the bag with a matching green skirt I have owned for years now and a pussybow blouse. The highlight was the blazer jacket with the white flowers on the black background. I personally love wearing black and white together and add a spark of color. 

What are your favorite colors to set a statement?

Hi guys,

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

it is here, it is here. My first holiday look and of course the most wonderful time of the year and also lot´s of different invitations to Christmas parties are already in. 
So there are categories by which we should decide what to wear. 

I would suggest going to an office Christmas party you should stay a little more formal on a work wear base but you can easily incorporate a fancy twist like I did with the red bow heels. 


Usually I am not wearing denim at all during Christmas time cause since I can wear it year round I want to be dressed up in glam and glitter for a few weeks of the year. 

I got this beautiful plaid blazer jacket a few weeks ago and already knew before unpacking it, that it would be a stunner. 

The pattern and coloring is just perfect for Christmas time. I paired it with a black dress and a black pair of fishnet thights. 

The flower earrings are from H&M and under 10€ and one of my most worn pair at the moment but let´s talk about the heels. Aren´t they the perfect pair of Christmas heels and the best part – they are under 35 €, ordered them from Choies. Great deal. They run true to size. I am wearing a 37. 

The little red bowling bag is from Galeria Kaufhof by Davind Jones – a last years find but perfect for the holidays so this is going to stay a long time with me. 
Our office Christmas party is in three weeks and I am definitely gonna wear this outfit.

To round up the whole look I used my favorite red lipstick – Domination from Balmain x L´oréal.

Do you have already made outfit plans?
