Good morning and happy Saturday,

 (post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links-not sponsored)
I am really happy today cause the temperatures had been in the high twenties the whole week which means sandals and dresses as much as I can wear. 

The next week means spare-time for me and Florian is still at home (until the 31st) so we planned lots of fun things to do. We planned on visiting a famous lake near Munich and a botanical garden with a chinese inspred temple. 

Yesterday we had our first garden party on our patio. After setting up our furniture and getting everything ready outside we officially opened our patio. It was a really nice evening, having a BBQ with friends, good food, drinks and good weather. That is how I like my Summer evenings.
I didn´t have too much work upront. The flowers where made by a local florist and I only had to “cook” the salads. 

We didn´t really do so much cause I had some migraine episodes all over the week. Really bad ones. I especially hate when they are starting at night cause you can´t prevent the pain before it gets really bad so that you wake up from. 

On another note I now have a shopstylecollective widget on the bottom of most of my posts which makes shopping for you a lot easier but I still have linked all the items in the text too.

Food: 
So because I was ill most of the week I didn´t try anything new or really cooked as much as usual and nothing special at all.
But I made a “Bellinie cake” with peaches and champagne yesterday. It is one of my favorites cakes. It is pretty simple to make but it takes some time to get all the ingredients together.



And the other foods I made are the salds for the BBQ. They aren´t as simple as salad may sound.

 – an Italian noodle salad with pesto

– a gnocchi salad with parmesan and basil

– a greek salad


 (this cute oil & vinegar set just arrived in time from amazon)


and another dish I made are baked potatoes with bacon, cheese and leek.
Got this one from Instagram and it is simple, delcicous and makes a perfect side dish for a BBQ.

Reading:
I got the latest Instyle magazine and there are some amazing pieces like off-shoulder shirts, lace shirt and pretty sandals.

I also found a new blog (well, not new but new to me). It is about lifestyle, food and home decor. The beautiful lady is called Monika Hibbs and her tablescapes are insane. So so pretty.



 Shopping:
I hadn´t been interested in much this week but I am eyeing with these pink block heels sandals from even&odd. Arent´t they pretty and the color is so beautiful. Perfect for Summer. 

Also really pretty is this shopper from LYDC and this off-shoulder top from Vero Moda. 

Things are pink over here this week.


TV:
In fact there wasn´t a thing I watched this week. To much to do. Too tired. I wanted to be outside the few hours I had left in the evenig as the weather is so nice.



 Home: 
My bedroom tour post went up on Wednesday. You can read it here.

Thanks for stopping by. 


Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

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

today I can finally show you our bedroom. I had planned this for months but it just didn´t happen to get to an end. Whether I didn´t have the time or I didn´t find the right pieces to decorate/furnish. This took the most time cause I had significant pieces on my mind I wanted so I first had to find them. 

The room doesn´t have a strict color theme but I went with creme/white/orange. These three fit nicely together and you can easily combine it with a fourth or fifth color. 

 The main piece you are focusing when you go into the room might be the colorful rug. It is a new one but from a vintage brand (they make new rugs appear older) and I couldn´t be happier with it. It has different color sprinkles all over which made it easy to decorate the rest on the room.

For the walls (and there weren´t so much left cause there are a few of our closets) I went with a gallery wall with picutres of us (from vacations or parties), a huge black and white print from the old New York and a mirror. 

 The bed is huge (for me). It is 1,8 x 2,2 meters. When I am alone at night I always have Chloe in the bed with me so I am feeling less lost. But although it is really pretty. It reminds me of a bed which could be found in a cabin or a blockhouse.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Take care. See you.

Casual Saturday #1….

Hi guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Post contains affiliate Links-not sponsored)
I am starting a “Casual Saturday” posts series today. I was thinking about how I could give you a little more information on what I am doing or what I like which is not related to fashion but still shows who I am and what I like to do. Not everything about that is breathtaking but maybe you are interested in more information of our habits and go-to places.

Let´s see …

TV:
We finished Big little lies on Sky last weekend and I must admit first I had second thoughts if I would like it but after the second episode I was blown away and I loved it. Florian also liked it and we guessed back and forth which one of them could be the murdered one. Fantastic!!

Now we are on Season 2 of The Good Wife on Netflix which I really like a lot but there are already 7 seasons and no sign of stopping.

Food:
I found a new recipe which I immidiately tried out because I was so curious if I could do this too. The caprese stuffed balsamic chicken by cookingwithmima.This was so easy and so delicious. I made a salad with the rest of the dried tomatoes and baked potatoes as a side dish.

We also went to an Italian restaurant for dinner last weekend because Florians uncle who works in the Arabian Emirates came by for a visit. I had a seafood plattern which was beyond good – didn´t expect that since it was such a small restaurant.

I made chocolate chip cookies for Sunday. I got this recipe from High Road in High Heels and they turned out perfect. This really is the perfect cookie recipe and I just can recommend it to anyone else. Easy and so delicious!

House:
We bought a grill for the patio so this is coming together (very slowly) – I am doing a post about that when we are totally done (we also have a solar light in the shape of a flamingo – love this one, a few plant pots and a planter staircase with colorful little plant pots). We also headed to Ikea to get a table with matching chairs set. Our car hasn´t been this full for quite a while now.

And I am still looking for some things for our office at home. I wanted to shoot an office tour way earlier but in fact we used this room as storage room during the Winter months so I had to clean up first before I could overlook what is still missing but this is coming to an end very soon.

I ordered a new rug from Otto – a white one with colorful splashes – for my dressing room.

Thinking about getting another one for our bedroom.


So there was just furniture this week. I hadn´t even time to look at anything else. No drug store tour 🙁 or anything else.

Music:
I ordered a old Taylor Swift CD from Amazon (as she still isn´t on Spotify), the album is called RED. I loved to listen to it earlier but I couldn´t find it after I moved. Now I am singing to songs like “The lucky one and Red in my car (only with the windows closed). Although I haven´t found anything new which I really liked.

Hobby:
I got my bronze badge in Line Dance last Saturday. So cool. I am so happy cause I was so nervous upfront. We had to dance three dances to different songs and the jury decided whether you made it through or not. Since it was “only” bronze the expectations and ratings weren´t that high but it was still exciting.

I am hosting a big family Easter brunch today so I am already busy cooking and decorating while you are reading. I am using the table scape I posted here. Tomorrow is gonna be a post free day – we are heading to another Easter brunch – so we´ll see each other back on Monday.

 So cheers to the weekend. 

Thanks for stopping by.
Take care. See you.

Easter table decoration + carrot cake recipe….

Hi dolls,

Spring
is right ahead of us I can feel it, I can smell it – don´t you think
too that you can smell Spring in the wind ?! – the flowers are starting
to bloom and the grass is getting greener everyday. This all gets me
really in the Easter mood. Some weeks ago Florian´s mom had her birthday
and I picked up a nice bouquet of flowers at our local florist.
They had the cutest Easter decoration pieces I have seen in a while.
Beautiful rabbit figures and matte and shiny metallic ceramic eggs.
Little wooden sticks for your flower pots in different pastell colors. I
was so overwhelmed that I first had to think about a color theme for my
Spring and Easter decoration. I went with pink and orange with pops of white. This is such a nice, fresh and poping color combination for Easter.

Der
Frühling ist da meine Lieben. Ich kann es fühlen und ich finde man kann
es riechen – es liegt in der Luft. Die Blumen fangen an zu blühen, dass
Gras wird jeden Tag grüner, Das alles bringt mich so richtin in Oster-
und Frühlingsstimmung. Vor ein paar Wochen hatte Florians Mama
Geburtstag und wir haben in unserem örtlichen Blumenladen einen schönen
Strauß zusammenstellen lassen. Und in der Wartezeit hab ich die süßesten
Osterdekosachen entdeckt die man sich nur vorstellen kann. Kleine
Häschen in weiß und rosa. Verschieden große metallisch glänzende oder
matte silberne Eier. Kleine Holzspieße für Bumentöpfe in verschiedenen
Pastellfarben. Ich war so überwältigt bei den ganzen verschiedenen
Dingen und Farben das ich mir erstmal ein Farbthema für meinen
Ostertisch ausgedacht habe. Ich hab mich für Pink und Orange entschieden
mit weißen Details. Die Farbkombi ist richtig popping und frisch für
den Frühling.

Carrot Cake Recipe – Ingredients:

Dough:
–
– 375 gr. of carrots – grated
– 250 gr. of flour  
– 2 tsp. baking soda
– 200 gr. of sugar
– 1 tsp. cinnamon
– 250 ml. of rapeseed oil
– 4 eggs
– 200 gr. of almonds (grounded)

Put all the ingridients together and stir until you have a smooth mass.
Bake for 40 minutes by 180 degrees. 

Frosting:
– 300 gr. of cream cheese
– 100 gr. of powdered sugar
– 1 pck. of vanilla sugar
-lemonjuice    

Put all the ingridients together and stir until you have a smooth mass. Spread over the cake and take a spatula to produce a sleek finish.

– marzipan carrots for decoration

Et voila. Perfect cake for Easter. Florian loves this one so I am going to bake it a little more often.

(The dress is going to be in a separate post soon)

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care. See you.
