Happy Birthday to me today,

I have never believed people when they said the last year before turning 30 feels hectic and pressured because you still want/have to accomplish so much until a new decade starts and I have to admit, I am not scared but it kind of feels weird though. Like every birthday or every special ocassion we are having dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant, Tiziano in Regensburg. It is small and cozy and the food is beyond delicious.

Good morning guys,

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

and happy Hump Day. I am back with another fashion post today. I am finally getting  back to my normal posting routine. No more ocassional posts or themes I had to move forward. Which means I am posting mainly about fashion trends and outifits and once a week a recipe, a personal post, a beauty review or a a travel itinerary (in case you are new around here).

This look was shot at a park in Leipzig behind the MDR Panorama tower we visited (Leipzig post is up tomorrow). I personally love the color red and also highwaisted paperbag pants. There is something so chic but comfortable about them. Even if you woudl only combine a simple shirt or body suit to it, it would still look put together and chic.

The leopard print cardigan I am wearing above is pretty old but still a huge trend. You can get almost every piece of clothing with leopard print and I love that. The pattern is here to stay.

For leaving the focus on the pants I went with a black turtleneck and simple ankle booties. But to be honest a little glam should not be missed at an outfit so I added a pair of big gold hoops and a golden flap bag from Aldo.

Summed up this is a really nice, comfortable and cozy but still chic and a little glam winter look. Also adding some color never hurts. When all of your surroundings are dull be sure to match your coffee cup.

Thanks for stopping by and if you are interested in my Leipzig city trip guide be sure to check back tormorrow.

How to style the corderoy trend // polka dot blouse + snake print boots…

Good morning guys,

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

I have my first day back at work today after almost three weeks off. So I hope this goes well (have a really bad feeling though).

 I wanted to share this adorable pink corderoy blazer I have shared on my Instagram feed a few weeks ago. One of my favorite bloggers – Teggy French – has worn it to the beginning of her #teggyfrenchchallenge and I couldn´t stop thinking about it. And also what is not to love. It is pink and corderoy is one of the huge latest fabric trends also it is under 40 and the quality is really good.

I ordered it from SheIn (be sure to check out my guide to shop their site here) and it arrived pretty quickly for the fact that the holiday hustle and bustle had already started and almost every shop was sending out late.

But let´s move on to the look. To make the pink stand out I decided to go with an all black and white look. The polka dot bow blouse was a find of a few weeks back. I officially had this one planned for another look but changed my mind so it was the perfect addition for this outfit.

Another hidden gem are these beautiful boots. I got them on Black Friday from Mango and loved them ever since. They are so outstanding and although they have a pattern all over they match great with so many different pieces. 

Be brave and experiment bold bright colors and different patterns for the new year. I definitely will incorporate that more into my daily outfits. Hope you like it.

But let´s get another cup of coffee and conquer that work day.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Happy Thursday guys,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
are you still in vacation or are you already back to work? I have one week left and still so much I wanted to accomplish during my spare time. Not sure if I make it but I can definitely share this look with you today.
 
This is probably my most worn weekend look. Always a little different but the main pieces like a comfortable pair of leggings and an oversized cardigan to cover up my back stay. Also a denim button down shouldn´t be missed in your closet. For me this is an absolute statement piece almost like a white blouse since it is super versatile and can be dressed up and down in so many ways. 
 
I usually run a lot of errands on the weekends so I always carry a lot of stuff around with me. A big tote or shopper bag is the perfect companion. I got this beautiful studded blue shopper bag from Fiorelli and I love it. I have had several bags from the brand years ago but then they had a redesign and I wasn´t into them anymore but now they are coming back strong with fresh and beautiful handbags.
 
So now I am heading out for groceries and then I am trying out this recipe. Is is supposed to be delicious and I hope it turns out that way. 
 
Hopefully I am also going to switch my site to WordPress. We´ll see how that works later today. Stay tuned for any news. 
 
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
