Casual Saturday #17….

….

Hi guys,

it has been so long since I have done a regular Casual Saturday so let´s recap some of the last moments.

Right on Christmas Eve I got engaged to the love of my life and I am still on cloud number nine. View the post here.

Since then I am in full wedding planing mode and I seem to have like an endless list of to-do´s.

Our first vacation has been to Vienna in Austria for my birhtday (view my birthday post with 28 facts about me here). Is is such a nice and big city with so much historty. We visited dreamy castles and ate delicious chocolate cake which is created in Vienna (view my travel diary here and part two here).


I also started back on posting recipes. Click here to have a look at this sweet treat.

Also posted several outift posts this week:

red plaid blazer / cadett cap / otk boots 


oversized glencheck blazer and my Givenchy Antigona dupe

my favorite denim skirt and brown accessories

pink turtleneck / faux fur vest and my brocade booties from Tamaris

baby blue ruffle pullover and polka dot tights 

burgundy lace cocktail dress from Asos for under 50€

pattern mix 

Just click on the topic to get to the original outfit post. 

There are also some pieces I got my eye on. What do you thing of this super soft velvet beauty? And I ordered these for Valentine´s day. Seems like I am feeling blue these days 🙂

I am wishing you all a nice weekend. 

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

I had worn this look a few days ago at a Christmas market. It wasn´t really cold so I didn´t need a jacket at all cause the sweater and the vest kept me warm. The vest is available every year. It is from H&M and they made it in almost every color. A puffy vest really is a staple when it comes to outdoor clothing.

I paired it with a warm and chunky sweater (also had a longsleeve underneath). The boots are pretty old but there are similar styles all around the internet. 

To round up my outfit I added my Longchamp Pliage in size M in this beautiful olive hue. Looked like the bag was made for this outfit. 

Do you guys have any plans for NYE? We are staying in and ordering as much thai food as we can eat and I have to admit I am really happy about not going anywhere. I thought I would be a littler sadder but in fact I couldn´t be more happy. I never was a huge fan of NYE. 

Thanks for stopping by. Take care and see you tomorrow. Be sure to queck back for a pretty NYE outfit inspiration you don´t want to miss.

Casual Saturday #16….


 ….

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
as you can see it is getting really christmassy over here and I couldn´t be happier. Since a few days I have been decorating inbetween and on Sunday I can finally put up my tree, the lights and the ornaments. I also have a garland for my fireplace this year and I want a big wreath for my front porch. Also I need to set um a tablescape for our holiday party next week. 
Today we are out to shoot our Christmas card photos. I am so excited how they are turning out. I might wear this pleated skirt from Patrizia Dini with a matching turtleneck from Rick Cardona.

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1510914192114?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);

I hadn´t been doing a Casual Saturday post in a while and I am really sorry about that but in fact there wasn´t much to report about cause the last few weekends after our roatdtrip we stayed in most of the time. 
Shop: 
But there are some fall/winter inspired pieces I ordered this week, mostly from Asos. Since I am totally into sequins this pullover was a must for me. It is from New Look and it has little mistletoes all over and the red dots in the misteltoes are embroidered with sequins. I am planing on wearing this with a dark green ruffle skirt for a festive holiday look. Stay tuned – this is going to be up very soon. 
Another sweater I got is this navy blue one with a red and white pattern from ASOS. This also has such a festive and wintery touch but I am not sure if I am keeping it. Still thinking about cause I have got so many sweaters lately.
 I also ordered a “holiday sweater” for Florian from Threadbare cause he doesn´t own one and I think he really needs one. It has a small pattern across the chest and is in muted colors in grey, black and white so I think he would really like it. Also it has a zipper at the collar so it isn´t to tight either.

One last thing I got from this order is this mug from Sass & Belle. It is pretty similar to the regular initial mug from Anthropologie but in my opinion this fits Christmas very well cause of the golden letter and the golden handle. Spreads a festive vibe while enjoying your coffee.

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1510914192114?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);

TV:
We started watching How to get away with murder… a few weeks ago but somehow I am just not getting into it. It is okay to watch aside while I am doing something else but not for fulltime. That is the reason why I started to watch The Vampire Diaries again right from the beginning. And I have also seen two Christmas movies so far – Christmas with the Kranks and Four Christmasses with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn and there are more to come. 
Eat:
I posted my top 3 pumpkin recipes on Thursday. You can view it here. This and some other really simple dishes where everything I have made so far. Since I am addicted to pumpkin. But I also tried out this sugar cookie recipe and I am going to try the quiche lorraine we ate in Strasbourg.

That´s it for so far. Now I have to get ready for our shot. Talk to you next week. 

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

How I style my Hunter boots for rainy fall days….

Hi guys,

since when did rain boots become totally popular and accepted to wear in public?
Think back about 15 years. The only people who have worn them then where street worker or hunter or farmer for work every day. But then the Hunter boot appeared.  They interpreted the rain boot new. Suddenly it became a lifestyle to wear rain boots and in my opinion pretty chic. There are uncountable fashion blogger out there who also helped to integrate this and they have way more pairs than one. 

I love my Hunters and I don´t have a problem at all weairng them on vacation when the weather isn´t that nice or in the winter. For today´s look I kept it dressy casual. I decided to wair a pair of dark denim paired with a pink and white striped button-down, a beige jersey blazer with golden buttons and a silk neckerchief. 

I loved that look a lot cause I looked totally put together but still casual enough for taking a walk with Chloé or running a full day of errands. 

I might go for the red pair of Hunter´s as well. They would make the perfect addition to Christmas inspired outifits and also it is my favorite color. 

What do you think of rain boots? Do you also own a “chic” pair. I also love the ones Tommy Hilfiger designs.

Have a nice Friday and thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
