Good morning and happy Saturday,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links-not sponsored)

I am really happy today cause the temperatures had been in the high twenties the whole week which means sandals and dresses as much as I can wear.

The next week means spare-time for me and Florian is still at home (until the 31st) so we planned lots of fun things to do. We planned on visiting a famous lake near Munich and a botanical garden with a chinese inspred temple.

Yesterday we had our first garden party on our patio. After setting up our furniture and getting everything ready outside we officially opened our patio. It was a really nice evening, having a BBQ with friends, good food, drinks and good weather. That is how I like my Summer evenings.

I didn´t have too much work upront. The flowers where made by a local florist and I only had to „cook“ the salads.

We didn´t really do so much cause I had some migraine episodes all over the week. Really bad ones. I especially hate when they are starting at night cause you can´t prevent the pain before it gets really bad so that you wake up from.

On another note I now have a shopstylecollective widget on the bottom of most of my posts which makes shopping for you a lot easier but I still have linked all the items in the text too.

Food:

So because I was ill most of the week I didn´t try anything new or really cooked as much as usual and nothing special at all.

But I made a „Bellinie cake“ with peaches and champagne yesterday. It is one of my favorites cakes. It is pretty simple to make but it takes some time to get all the ingredients together.

And the other foods I made are the salds for the BBQ. They aren´t as simple as salad may sound.

– an Italian noodle salad with pesto

– a gnocchi salad with parmesan and basil

– a greek salad

(this cute oil & vinegar set just arrived in time from amazon)

and another dish I made are baked potatoes with bacon, cheese and leek.

Got this one from Instagram and it is simple, delcicous and makes a perfect side dish for a BBQ.

Reading:

I got the latest Instyle magazine and there are some amazing pieces like off-shoulder shirts, lace shirt and pretty sandals.

I also found a new blog (well, not new but new to me). It is about lifestyle, food and home decor. The beautiful lady is called Monika Hibbs and her tablescapes are insane. So so pretty.

Shopping:

I hadn´t been interested in much this week but I am eyeing with these pink block heels sandals from even&odd. Arent´t they pretty and the color is so beautiful. Perfect for Summer.

Also really pretty is this shopper from LYDC and this off-shoulder top from Vero Moda.

Things are pink over here this week.

TV:

In fact there wasn´t a thing I watched this week. To much to do. Too tired. I wanted to be outside the few hours I had left in the evenig as the weather is so nice.

Home:
My bedroom tour post went up on Wednesday. You can read it here.

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care. See you.

Good morning to all my color lovers,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links-not sponsored)

today´s post was way overdue. I am sharing my favorite nail polish colors for Spring/Summer with you guys.

I am really a season girl. I love the darker and deeper shades in Fall/Winter and the light and neon shades for Spring/Summer. This is like an unwritten rule for me. But you don´t have to decide like that as (most off) all colors are in stores during the whole year.

This is my selection on colors for this season.

bright and neon orange – Maybelline color: 341 orange attack

simple red (of course-my staple color) – L´oréal color:550 rouge savage

metallic gold – L´oréal color: 660 L´or
taupe of coure – L´oréal: 664 greige amoureux

crisp white – Essence color: 33 wild white ways

lovely baby blue – Essie color: 374 Saltwater Happy

mint shade – Catrice color: 14 mint map

a pastell pink shade – essie: 16 spaghetti strap

Which one is your favorite ?

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care. See you

Hi guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links-not sponsored)

sometimes it has to be a little more. A little more ruffles, a little more color so it is no surprise that this ruffled royal blue blouse was a perfect find for a date night. Although you could easily wear it during the day with a big tote and flats.

I found this gorgeous blouse at our local Zara store. I love love love the color. Obiviously I am total into the blue hues. The sleeves are oversized and ruffled and so beautiful. I paired it with a white pair of jeans to make the color pop out as much as possible. I also added a pair of blue heels to the outfit. And what do you think about this cute clutch with lemon and orange patches.

Manchmal muss es eben mehr sein, so ist es keine Überraschung das mir diese Bluse so gefallen hat. Mehr Rüschen, größere Ärmel, mehr Farbe – perfekt für ein Abendessen in einem Restaurant. Andererseits wäre es auch alltagstauglich mit einem Paar Ballerinas und einer großen Tasche.
Die Bluse habe ich vor längerer Zeit bei Zara gefunden und ich liebe die Farbe. Es ist einfach so ein schöner, satter Blauton. Und zur Zeit gefallen mir die Blautöne eh so gut. Die oversized Ärmel und die Rüschen daran sind einfach so schön. Ich habe dazu eine weiße Jeans kombiniert, damit die Farbe richtig gut rauskommt. Die Tasche und Schuhe harmonieren perfekt mit der Bluse. Aber jetzt mal ehrlich, ich weiß das die Clutch last season ist aber wie süß kann eine Tasche sein !!!. Die Orangenaufnäher sind so toll. Ich freue mich immer wieder wenn ich sie ausführen kann.

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care. See you.

Casual Saturday #4….

05/13/2017 Keine Kommentare

Hello and happy Saturday everybody,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links-not sponsored)

We are preparing for mothers day over here so I don´t know where to start cause in fact we didn´t do anything else important.The week was short for both of us. Florian only worked until Tuesday and I did until Thursday. We had several appointments so it was easier to take days off.

I had line dance on Monday and on Tuesday so nothing else happened there. On Wednesday we where invited to Florian´s cousins birthday party. Thank god it was a warm day and still warm in the evening cause you can´t attend an outside party with bad weather. I got a Coastal Scents Go Cairo palette and a flower bouquet as a present. You can never go wrong with flowers and I knew that she liked make-up and I got her this L´oréal eyeshadow palette in nude beige. The nude shades are a staple for every girls make-up drawer.

The yearly fun fair started yesterday and I wanted to go so bad because I need to get updated and restocked on new spices. They have a little wooden store where they sell the best spices I have found so far. The problem is that they attend only two times a year so I have to know upfront what I need.

I ended up buying a lot.

House:

We set up our patio furniture last weekend and I love how it turned out (plannig a separate post about it soon). We got lots of fresh and colorful flowers. Now Summer can finally come. Now the only thing I am still looking are deckchairs. I already have a small table from Polywood. A red one, so I am not quite sure if I take two red or two grey deckchairs.

Food:

I only tried out two new recipes. I was curious about the egg roll in a bowl recipe I have seen so many times all over social media. So I had to try out this one cause who doesn´t love egg rolls.

The second one are baked burritos. I have read about it some time ago and with all the Cinquo de Mayo posts it came back in mind. You fill your burritos with all the ingredients you want to have in them and then you put them into a baking dish. Sprinkle some grated cheese on top (you can also use cheddar but I wanted gouda cheese) and put it into the oven for about 30 minutes (or just how you like it – I want a real crispy cheese crust). Really simple and so so delicious.

Shopping:

I have been eyeing with a few things but I am still not quite sure about it. It would be this bag. I love it but who needs a black one in Summer.

Another thing I have been thinking about is this pair of studded heels. I already have the baby blue one and I like wearing them so much.

So here is what I ordered this week. A bikini with a palm tree print and I am so looking forward to this. It is the ultimate Summer pattern for me (sorry flamingos) and a beach blanket for our Summer vacation. It is a round one so I am pretty excited how it turns out.

Also two off-the-shoulder dresses, an orange one with short sleeves and a gingham one with long sleeves.

TV:

There wasn´t really anything this week I was interested in. I have seen that Game of Thrones is going to be continued in July so there´s this. I have watched Peter Pan (the Disney movie) and I still love it. It is my favorite Disney movie back when I was a child and until now.

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care. See you.
