Casual Saturday #6….


….

Hi guys,

I love the Summer months for so many things but first and foremost cause there are so many things to do and live is happening outside again.

We finally set up our patio last week – I also wrote a post about it here -so we are sitting outside most of the time. Making BBQ´s, chatting with the neighbours, Chloe loves her little „pool“ and just enjoy the warmth and the sun. This adds so much more quality to our spar-time it is insane.

As you might know I took a week of last week and we got lots of things done like going to places nearby I wanted to see for a long time or spending some hours at Ikea to get shelves and storage systems for our pantry/laundry room. 
Food:
 I tried out three new recipes. Let´s start with the sweets. This strawberry buttercream cake is so so good. It tastes like ice-cream. I got this recipe from Monika Hibbs blog (a canadian lifestyle blogger) and it is amazing. 



Another thing I tried is this marinated asparagus. I saw this on an Instagram story and I had to try it cause I love green asparagus. The marinade is so easy. Just put some olive oil, salt, pepper, minced garlic and balsamic into a bowl and mix it and leave it there for about and hour. Then bake it in a pan for about 15 minutes until the consistency of the asparagus gets a little softer. 
 The third dish I made are these spinach – salmon – feta noodles. They may look a little strange cause of the green color but the taste is great. 


Home: 
We got two new shelves for our laundry room to at least create the illusion of looking tidy. Most of the time it is a mess in there. I just need this place to „housework“. 
 But now I set the focus onto the wall with the decoration so no one is looking on the floor anymore – hopefully.

Shopping:

I had been searching for a „blog bag“ a long time. By „blog bag“ I mean a big shopper which stands by itself and carries my blogging stuff like my calendar, notebook, camera, external hard drive and so on. I got this one from LYDC. I really like their bags and I am glad I found this one. The size is perfect for all my things and isn´t the pattern just cool. 
I also like this and this one. 



I also got a new leather jacket  Mangoon collection in a kind of a used sand color. I have been eying with this one since two months and on Friday the price was finally reduced in stores so I went for it. It is such a soft and thin leather and I love the smell of a new leather jacket. They also have it in a blush tone. So now I am hoping for cooler temps to wear it – no just kidding 🙂



I have been looking for a new foundation and after using this little sample from the Dior Forever foundation I am totally into it. Definitely going to order this one. Another thing I found and I couldn´t be more happy is this hairspray from Living proof which provides frizz. Since it started to have kind of a tropical climate here (this didn´t exist a few years ago) I am started to look for products like these and I found the perfect one through coincidence on Gal meets Glam. You can read the full post here.



TV:
 I didn´t watch anything new. Since the temeratures are so high we are outside the whole evening. Taking blog pics, dining outside, playing with Chloe, enjoying the sun. 
Florian started Better call Saul… yet another laywer series but I think he really likes it.
I also updated my pages on the blog. I have a trend section for a little while now so head over if you are interested into the latest trends.
I hope you had a nice week and having a great weekend. 
Thanks for stopping by.
Take care. See you.

Hi guys and happy friday,

 (post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links-not sponsored)
today I am reporting about a color which is still a huge trend for this Spring and Summer season – a yellow handbag. I was searching for the perfect one since last year (I got one but I didn´t like it in the end so I returned it cause I could not be closed and the material was kind of stiff) and didn´t find another until the Summer ended. But this year I started researching as soon as the snow melted and I found one at one of my favorite stores for affordable bags – CARPISA.

The Dara Bag – it is kind of a hobo bag with a zipper to close and an ostrich detailed materil on the outside. The yellow is a mix between a really bright and sunny yellow and a mustard one. Not to neon but still bright and vibrant. 

I already have some bags from Carpisa in my collection. They don´t have a store in Germany which is pretty sad but we are mostly travelling to cities where they have a store and they offer pretty fast shipping from their online store so it´s not to bad.

I have listed a huge range of yellow bags in different shades and shapes below. 

In fact we didn´t plan anything special for the long weekend. It will depend on the weather situation.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

a few days ago we spent a sunny and warm day at the Tegernsee near Munich. For us it is about 90 km to drive so we arrived about an hour after departure. 

It is a pretty nice place but also really expensive (famous soccer players have houses there). They have one big restaurant which is also a brewery – it is called „The Bräustüberl and they make their own beer. We went there for Lunch.On the other note they have such cute places for coffee. We went to the Seehaus Coffee Bar. It had a little patiospace at the back where you could sit outside with a great view over the lake.There where lots of cute little boats and sailboats.

I also wanted to do a boat ride but as you can see from the pictures it was a pretty windy day.


We had Chloe with us and she was so busy the whole time with all the ducks and the waves and so much new things to see and all the sniffing. She had been totally exhausted and slept within a minute as we got back into the car. 

Thanks for stopping by. 

Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

Summer is officially here. We had a heat period lasting four days with really high temperatures up in the mid thirties.
I love wearing midi skirts for Summer they are so flowy and airy and perfect for the climate (and I find wearing them in Winter with tights is pretty annoying). I got this skirt from my mom and I actually don´t know where she got it from or what brand it is but it the flower pattern is so pretty (I have some similar options in the widget below to shop). First it was a little overwhelming and I didn´t know exact what to pair with it cause I wanted to go with purple or yellow first but I think this ivory ruffle blouse is the way better pick. 

The Coach satchel bag I got in London made the perfect match to the outfit and this pair of ruffle sandals also paired perfectly together (to stay in the ruffle theme).

I am sorry for not posting my monthly favorites but in fact I have so many new beauty products which came out lately and I first wanted to try them out and then tell you about it and second I might post another „latest beauty picks post“ to show you all the make-up related products I got. So the July favorites are definitely going to be huge. 

We are out for dinner this evening. In fact we have a double date. I want to bring back our usual Wednesday date night but with so many other festivities going on it is almost to much to go out four or five days a week. Let´s see how the Summer turns out. 

Thanks for stopping by. 

Take care. See you.
