Hi guys,

I always loved decorating my home and since we moved into our house this really became a passion to me.

A great way to decorate is with coffeetable books. These are books which look pretty on the outside with a nice cover in a pretty color or with a pattern. There are several book from designers which in my opinion own the coffeetable scene.
You can see them in so many different blogger homes. But this really is a nice side effect.

Most of the books have a real story inside not only pictures. Whether is is a biography or a self-help book, a book for advice or just a nice story, the books aren´t empty and after reading you can incorporate them in your decoration process.

Some of them are pretty affordable but some (for example the high-fashion design labels like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior.. ) can be really pricey (about 60 Euro and more) so you have to decide by yourself whether if you are interested in the book or not.

I have picked out some great pieces I recently decorated all over our house. Have fun browsing through. I linked them at the end the post.

Which ones are your favorites ?

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)

since I love the holidays and I love to cook it was the easiest conclusion to say I am hosting a holiday party before my usual Christmas party this year.

I decided to invite some of our closest friends for a nice and relaxed but festive evening with good food, wine and a pretty tablescape.

I opted for a red and gold table scape and it turned out great. Somehow I am always gravitating around red but it is just the prettiest and traditional Christmas color but there is a huge change in decor this year so stay tuned, post is going to be up next week.

The little favors on each plate include a few chocolate pralinés and I thought it would be a really nice idea to give something. Also they match with the decor so it was probably a win-win situation.

I like to serve an aperitif to give to the guests when they arrive. It is much nicer to stand or gather and chat a little at first waiting till everyone arrives than sitting there and waiting for the food.

I made cranberry mimosas as an aperitif which turned out really good. It is a pretty simple recipe. Just mix champagne and cranberry juice how you think it tastes best. This way you can decide on your own if you like it either light or strong. I mixed ones bottle of chamgagne with one bottle of cranberry juice. For decor and also for adding some flavor I added some mint leavs on stems and raspberries.

I wanted to have a little more rustic charm that is why I put them into mason jars and not into champagne flutes. Another reason was cause I wanted to use this super cute straws with the bells in the middle.

Do you have any holiday parties planed ?

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

(Article contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enhält Affiliate Links)

fall is in its full swing and I couldn´t be happier. Since this is my favorite season of the year I am always making a big effort to decorate and enjoy the few months before the cold and long winter.

I love to decorate with pumpkins whether they are real or made of ceramics. We also went to a really big pumpkin patch two weeks ago and I loved it there. I have never seen so many pumpkins.

Another thing I love for fall are fall candles. Especially the big jars from Yankee Candle or Village Candle, they also make some pretty beeautiful decoaration pieces. I love the wooden flavors and anything cider related but the best ones are the pumpkin flavors which are always selling out so fast.

Being able to wear hats and boots again is something I am really looking forward too. Not only a fashionable aspect. They are just some of my most favorite accessories.

Does anyone beside me has the feeling that fall is making everything new. With a fresh year of school starting after the summer vacation and also so many brandnew pieces the online stores offer the new season is almost palpable. I love browsing through the “that´s new” sections of my favorite online retailers on my sofa while enjoying a hot cup of coca or a pumpkin spice latte.

I recently got the Pumpkin Spice Syrup from Monin I have seen on someone´s Insta Stories.

And of course cooking anything pumpkin related from pies to casseroles. Click here for my favorite pumpkin pie recipe ever or so far (and I have tried a lot).

Do you have any fall staples you need to have ?

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

it was Florian´s birthday yesterday and I am wishing him all the best and lots of love and health.

So I am dedicating this blog post to the person I love the most in
the whole world. He is the one who makes me happy each and every day.
The one I can´t get tired of spending time with. The one I am feeling safe
and secure with. The one who makes me crack up about complete crap. The one who takes all my blog photos no matter the weather. The one who loves my little dog like no other. The one who cares for us. The one I love exploring new places with. ……

For all of these reasons and many more I am hosting a birthday party for him today. Not a surprise party – he knew that I was cooking and people where coming over – but still some tiny surprises included.
I went with a blue and turquoise theme as it fits pretty good and he likes the color blue.

I made the cake the day before so there was only tapas preparation yesterday. I am going for tapas style as it is easy to make and you can snack throughout the whole evening. As we put in some bar tables it is much easier to eat. I decided to go with these tables cause the guests are pretty mixed and so people don´t have a fix place and they can move around and stand by whomever they like.

I got most of the party decor from my favorite online store pinkpartydots.de. They have so many pretty things to offer which is always giving me a hard time to decide.

So cheers to another year full of hapiness, joy, excitement, travels and surprises.

Thanks for stopping by everyone.

Take care. See you.
