Hi guys and happy Food Friday,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
with the beginning of June the strawberry season has finally started too. I don´t know what it is about this delicious little berry but whether you are making juice, cake or jam out of it or you are eating them pure they are so so good.

And the smell guys. Sometimes I wish I could capture the smell for you. The strawberry field smelled so sweet!!!

Since I am not a real fruit lover I do have my exceptions when it comes to strawberries (or raspberries, pineapples or melons).

We picked about 8 pounds so the first thing I did when I got home was making dough for a strawberry pie (and the leftover strawberries where cut for jam but this recipe is coming next week then).


Here are the ingredients:


for the dough
3 cups of flour
2 tablespoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or paste
3/4 cup butter not melted


– mix the ingredients together until your are having a sticky dough
– then put some flour onto a clean area in your kitchen
– knead the dough with your hands until everything is combined just fine


-take a rolling pin and roll out dough evenly
– take a cup in the size you like and cut out round pieces 


– I made all the little dough pieces below from one dough so this really is enough
– let them cool down for about 15 minutes
– spread a mixture of confectioners sugar and heavy cream on top and bake for about 20 minutes by 160° degrees


for the strawberries:
– 750 gramms of strawberries
– 2 spoons of sugar


– marinade the strawberries with the sugar and let them rest


for the heavy cream
– take as much heavy cream as you like and whip it until its really solid
(you can make the test by flipping your bowl – if it doesn´t come out the consistency is great (but be careful or you are producing quite the mess)


Now head to your nearest strawberry field and get your fix for the weekend.


Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

happy Hump Day you all. There are only two more days left until the weekend and then there is only one week left until we are leaving for Lake Garda. I can´t even express how happy I am about that.

We are going to relax and unwind and shop and eat lots of pizza. Gimme all the carbs!

But there are lots of awesome places to see and so much to do so I am definitely going to give you a closer look into the big cities we visit and also best Italian shops and activities. 

I am sharing this little outift with you today. This could easily work as a vacation look too since it is easy breezy, comfortable and versatile.

The mules are perfect for walking long distance while exploring a new city or shopping at one of Italy´s adorable markets.

A front buttned skirt is not new but I still love them. I have been eyeing with the white version already and I am definitely get a corderoy version for Winter.

The bag is one of my favorites. I finally got a pink pompom tote from Asos for a reasonable price. But you could easily make one your own. Just have a look at the DIY I posted yesterday.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

DIY – pompom tote….

straw tote amazon / pompoms Etsy / hot glue gun amazon 



….


Hi guys

(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
there aren´t a lot of things I like to make by my own but as I have seen this super cute straw totes all over Shopbob and Nordstrom I wanted one of them for Summer so badly. But they are expensive. 

In fact I don´t want to pay 200 to 300 Euros for those kind of bags so I searched the Internet and I decided to make one by myself. You just need two things. The straw tote and the pompoms. The tote is from amazon. You can find one here, here and here and the pompoms are from Etsy. They are available in every color and every size.


First I wanted them to sew onto the bag but since I am DIYing for my wedding I decided to use my hot glue gun and friends this worked out great.

This really is super easy. 

Step 1
Get your straw tote. Size, shape, color – what ever you prefer.

Step 2
Get your pompoms. Etsy has such a wide range on pompoms. At most stores you can choose colors or get a mix if you prefer that.

Step 3
Get your glue gun and let it heat up.

Step 4 
In the meantime place your pompoms as you like them.

Step 5 
Glue them onto your straw bag and let the glue dry.

Et voilà. You got your personalized bag no one else is carrying around.

Do you like DIY´s or do you prefer buying items?

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Pink flamingo…

….

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links/ Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
hopefully it is a happy Moday to you. I am tired to my bones. The hot weather is not good for sleeping through at night at all. I know I shouldn´t complain about all the sun and the high temperatures but that is something which really bothers me.

But let´s move on to the look. Despite the heat I would probably be tired if it was Winter as well.

The look is really simple and casual but also very summery and an office look. The shirt is a little shorter more like a cropped version but since the pants have a high-waist fit no one is able to see your skin.
To go on with the color sheme of the pink flamingo in the shirt – aren´t flamingos still so adorable ?? – I went with a pair of pink sandals and a matching bag. The little scarf tied onto the handle of the bag is last season but since these scarves became so popular I bet I can find a simlar version to it.
 The earrings are from H&M and real fun. I have to admit I first had worn a pair of pink tassel earrings like these to the look (which probably looked a little better) but the color rubbed off and then I had pink skin and also pink color in my hair. Maybe it was the high humidity on this day or me sweating so bad but this never happened before and I have the same earrings in several colors.
 Thanks for stopping by guys. Take care. See you.
