Hi guys and happy Monday (yes it is Monday again – this only can be a joke),

I
hope you had a nice and sunny weekend. Ours was cold, windy and rainy.
April fools us in its best. So today I am back to work and as you could
see this is a pretty business insprired outfit. Since I am working at an
office for civil engineering I can´t dress how I like to during the
week. We don´t have a strict dress code but it should be appropriate and
that doesn´t have to be a black pant and white blouse thing. Can be
chic but we are not waitresses either so this doesn´t have to be a
uniform.

Based on Spring I choose this pretty flower
patterned bow-tie blouse. I paired it with a midi-length black pencil
skirt for a slim silhouette. Since it is still cold I threw on this
super cozy oversized knitted blazer jacket in this light stone grey. A
matching handbag with the cardigan and matching heels with the blouse
completed the outfit.

Ich hoffe ihr hattet ein schönes sonniges Wochenende. Bei mir war es kalt und nass und windig. Der April hat uns fest im Griff würd ich mal sagen. Wieder zurück in der Arbeit hab ich heute einen Büro inspirierten Look für euch. Da ich ja in einem Ingenieurbüro arbeite kann ich unter der Woche normal nicht nur das anziehen auf das ich gerade Lust habe. Wir habe zwar keine strikte Kleiderordnung, aber angemessen gekleidet sollte man schon sein. Es muss ja nicht immer nur schwarze Hose und weiße Bluse sein – zwar ist das auch chic aber wir ja keine Bedienungen, das heißt wir müssen keine „Uniform“ haben. 
Basierend auf Frühling habe ich hier eine Schluppenbluse mit einem großflächigen Blumenprint mit einem schwarzen Bleistiftrock kombiniert. Unten etwas enger gehalten damit man eine schöne Silhouette bekommt. Da es immernoch kalt und frostig ist habe ich diese gestrickte Baumwollblazerjacke lässig über die Schulter gelegt. Eine passende Tasche für die Jacke und passende Schuhe zu der Bluse und fertig sind wir.
Thanks for stopping by. 
Take care. See you.

Casual Saturday #2….

 Hi guys,

 (post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links-not sponsored)
last
week wasn´t so much to do like the weeks before (preparing for Easter
and getting the decoration up and the tablescpape set and the menu for
brunch) but we still did something – not only sat on the sofa.

TV:
Still watching „The good wife“ and my favorite movie was on TV so I had to watch this one of course – „The devil wears Prada“. At the end I always wonder if that is how it works behind a fashion magazine. I ordered one of my favorite Disney movie on DVD. I was thinking of starting to collect all the Disney movies and give it to my future children when they would be able to watch and understand. I think that is a sweet idea.
Food:
On
Easter Monday we were invited at Florians´grandma´s house for lunch. I
must admit that I was really glad cause after two days of brunch I
needed a change. She had some kind of serbian sausage with garlic with a
sauce with white beans and a some sort of noodles. This sounded really
adventurous but it was delicious.

And of course I tried out 2 of my saved recipes. First of all the „Easy Garlic Italian Parmesan Rolls“. I love rolls and when they are still warm from the oven you got me. So I had to try these out. Found them on the Blog of Jennca Parcell – A Slice of Style. I really like reading her blog posts and the twins are just the cutest.

The second one is from an Instagram feed I love it is called foodguidevideos. They have short videos on how they make different meals. Once in a while I find one I am really curious about and this is one of them, the Orange Chicken with Rice.


On Thursday we went to my favorite restaurant – the Tiziano in Regensburg to celebrate Florians´ new job. I was eating the baby octopus with the stir fryed vegetables like usual. My favorite dish there.

Wow – this seems like lots of food this week !!  


House:
I ordered two more rugs. One for the living room and the other one for our bedroom. I am into colors lately. I had that a few years ago and then I wanted everything in white and a light grey color cause this matches anything but these days I really like a splash of color.  




I wanted to set up the patio furniture we got but I got a little quenched by two snow days this week.
Hobby:
Didn´t do this much cause of the Easter holidays there was no training but I am at a Line Dance party tonight. So we´ll see how this is gonna be.
 I
started on planing some one day road trips to places which are nearby
but first of all the weather has to be better. I am not going anywhere
as long as it is still snowing.

Shopping:
I placed a complete order on accessories at Zalando. I am really looking forward on how the pieces are. The main focus is on western buckle belts and waist belts in metallic or rose colors. Since the demand is so huge on belts this Spring and Summer.


And I got those two pretty blouses from the bonprix online shop.

The white one has red stripes and these beautiful ruffled sleeves. This also could be a spanish flamenco blouse. So dreamy.

 The black top is more like a tunic. It is longer and is has the beautiful crochet detailing on the sleeves (also wider) and on the hem. 


They are just to pretty but it is still so cold that I am wearing a blouse – cardigan/blazer combination almost every day.

I am wishing you all a nice weekend and as always thanks for stopping by. 

Take care. See you.

Lipcare – favorite lipbalms and more / The Body Shop / Burt´s Bees / Labello….

Hi dolls,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Post contains affiliate Links-not sponsored)
the
long and cold Winter and the dry and warm air from heating up inside
has demanded its tribute to our skin. And maybe of all the bodylotions
and skincare products we might have forgotten some parts of our body to
spoil too. For example the lips. 
They
can also get pretty dry but the difference to other body part is you
can see it no matter what. If you put on lipstick with dry and crapped
lips this looks so neglected – so it would be better to wear none.
Believe me I know.
But to get hydrated and smooth lips I found a few products for you I am using and they really turned out to be great. 
First
of all a lip scrub is a good idea. I got this lip scrub stick from the
Body shop. It works pretty well. I has little particles in the stick
which take away the dead skin cells and leave a soft and smooth feeling
on your lips.  Another good option is this Alverde Sugar Lip Scrub.

For
the days where I am not using the lipscrub I am using a lipbalm in the
morning before putting on my lipstick and in the evening before going to
bed. I had the same brand for years and I will keep them as long as
they are available to buy. They are the The Body Shop Lip Butter and
Born Lippy . Mine are Strawberry and Passion Fruit. I love them. They
are the best for dry lips and help them a lot staying hydrated through
day and night. 
But
there are pretty good alternatives if you don´t have a Body Shop near
you and if you don´t want to order online. These are drug store products
and almost everywhere available – the lipbalm from Burt´s Bees (they also have different scents) and the Labello lipbutter (my favorite is caramel).
I got them in my handbag for daily use or for the case I forgot to apply in the morning which happens quite often.

Der lange Winter und die damit verbundene trockene Heizungsluft verlangt unserer Haut alles ab. Und mit den ganzen verschiedenen Cremes und Hautpflegeprodukten für alle möglichen Körperteile haben wir im Eifer des Gefechts vielleicht eines vergessen: unsere Lippen.
Diese können auch ziemlich trocken werden und im Vergleich zu anderen Körperteilen kann man das sofort sehen – spätestend dan wenn man Lippenstift aufträgt und lauter kleine Hautfitzel wegstehen. Das ist nicht schön – gar nicht. Glaubt mir ich weiß wovon ich rede.
Aber auch das kann man Beheben. Um wieder schöne weiche und gepflegte Lippen zu bekommen habe ich ein paar meiner liebsten und effizientesten Produkte aufgelistet.
Zuallererst fangen wir dem Lippenpeeling an um die weghängenden Hautschuppen wegzubekommen. Hier habe ich zwei Optionen. Den Lip Scrub Stick vom Body Shop. Er ist wie ein Lipbalm aber mit lauter kleinen Peelingkörnchen. Man trägt Ihn auch direkt auf die Lippen auf. Die andere Alternative ist ein Lipscrub aus der Tube von Alverde. Die groben Partikel dort sind aus Zucker. 
Ich finde beide gut, aber den Stick vom Body Shop mag ich lieber da der so minzig frisch ist.
Danch kommen wir zum pflegenden Aspekt mit einem nährreichen Lip Balm.
Ich habe hier zwei vom Body Shop aufgelistet aber auch zwei die es in der Drogerie zu kaufen gibt. 
Diesen trage ich abends und morgens dick auf meine Lippen auf. Meistens zieht der eh sofort ein sodass es mit dem Lippenstift auch kein Problem gibt. 
Außerdem habe ich immer einen in meiner Handtasche dabei, falls ich mal es mal vergessen sollte, was ziemlich oft geschieht. 

Thanks for stopping by. 
Take care. See you.

Fashion trend – patches….

Hi dolls,

there
are so many options in fashion nowadays and there is something for
everyone whether you like colors or not or patterns or not.


The newest trend I found (and there are lots of pieces) are patches. On blouses, on pullovers, on bags, on jeans – the list is endless. I personally love it. It adds a playful twist to the whole outfit. It is an easy way to make a classic or casual outfit trendy and versatile.
Der „Patches“ (Aufnäher) Trend ist mittlerweile so beliebt geworden das es unzählige Artikel gibt die breits damit versehen sind. Falls einem diese nicht gefallen sollten gibt es aber auch viele Angbote dir dein eigenes Kit zusammenzustellen und diese selbst aufzunähen.
 Ich persönlich finde diesen Trend ja super. Es fügt dem ganzen Outfit einen verspielten aber doch super moderen Touch hinzu.
Was denkt Ihr ? Seid Ihr für oder gegen Patches? 
Here are some other options with lots of patches:
