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.

Happy Birthday to the love of my life….

 ^there he is – birthday boy^

the skirt I am wearing is from Shein – just love it – also worn here
…..

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.

Casual Saturday #13….

espresso mugs magic eyes otto


….


Hi guys,

I haven´t done a Casual Saturday post the last two weeks because it wasn´t just enough we did to round up to you and also I had so much content I wanted to get out before summer fades away.

But today we are continuing with our normal schedule.

It was Florian´s grandmas birthday on Thursday so we went there for a birthday dinner. 


For Friday we had tickets for a big soccer game in Munich and there is an excursion with Florian´s soccer team today. 
We are heading back to Munich tomorrow to stay there for two days and are coming back on Monday.
Wow so many activities !!




Food:

I tried out some new stuff and one of it and above all was this double burger I made and since we stopped eating carbs I made the burger buns out of spinach cheese and egg. I have to admit they look a little strange and you might have to get used to it first but the taste was amazing.



Another meal or a desert I wanted to try out a long time was this skillet chocolate chip cookie. This is heaven you guys. HEAVEN. It takes nothing like a normal cookie. This is way better. I put some peanut butter and caramel ice cream on top which made it even better (and I thought we where avoiding carbs – whoops). The recipe is from Martha Stewart – you can view it here.

Another great thing I love to make in summer are salads. I just throw in any kind of stuff I find in the fridge or in my pantry. I like to add one warm ingridient to it like a grilled cheese in this case.

Since we love a good breakfast on weekends we tried these breakfast muffins and they are great. You can make them in a million different ways.

Shop:


gingham blouse JDY
oversized jeans jacket LTB
black skinny jeans even & odd
flanel blouse Dorothy Perkins

brown faux leather skirt bonprix
black faux leather skirt bonprix

I am totally stocking up for fall guys. I am all about colder weather, pumpkin lattes and decorating for fall but don´t tell.

TV: 
 I am still watching Pretty Little Liars and I am obsessed. Really obsessed. I like everything about the show. The characters, the story it never gets boring. 


Do you guys have any plans for your weekend?
This might be the last weekend we are so busy cause we have to get the house ready outside before fall hits us.


Thanks for stopping by. 


Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

by following my blog you might know that I have a thing for themed dinner parties or
tablescapes. You can see my latest here, here, here, here and here.

And if you
are new to my blog you are going to know now.

I always
loved Mexican food so I thought why not invite our friends and neighbours over
to a Mexican evening. I was planning on a three course meal with an aperitif
and it turned out really well. 

As a
starter I served homemade guacamole and salsa for dipping with nachos and a
margarita. 

The main
course where baked burritos which where delicious. A really easy recipe with
great taste. 

For desert I made a fruit salad in a watermelon (looked so cool) and Churros (I tried to make them before cause I was
really scared that they wouldn´t work out, maybe you saw them in one of my casaul Satruday posts already) and they turned out really good. Easier than I thought.

But let´s
have a look at the table decoration. I went for the full Mexican theme with
little sombreros, matching confetti and a piñata. The napkins are from Butlers and they are the cutest I could have found. Most of the decoration is from amazon cause they just have everything.



If you want to know a recipe just email me.


As always thanks for stopping by.


Take care. See you.
