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,

after fall is fully here I started decorating my front porch (you may have already seen pictures on Instagram) and it turned out great (or at least I think so) 😉
I went to two pumpkins fields this year and got so many different pumpkins. I only had the big orange ones last year but now I got a whole bunch of little ones for decorating too.
I wanted something bigger and prettier than last year (you can view it here) so I went on Pinterest to gather some inspiration and to pick out some ideas and it turned out great. The best part about my decor is the big straw ball. I also got two plant pots for the mums and a tin bucket. I also wanted to have a wooden box to put even more pumpkins into it. 

The two lanterns on the left side are really pretty after sunset. The candles are flameless and they have a timer so they start shining however you timed them. That is indeed a pretty cool idea. Got this one from Kaitleen from Southern Curls and Pearls.

Did you already get your front porch fall ready ? What are your favorite pieces?

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.

Getting ready for hosting a dinner party with Paperless Post invites….

2 Kommentare


^preparing for the dinner party – I like getting ready early to have enough time before the guests arrive^
^but the first step before decorating the table and planing the menu is to create the invitation card^
^ I went on the Paperlees Post site and chose the categorie parties&entertaining – dinner party to find the Lyford template I love^

^you can take the template like it is or you can choose a different font, size and color for your text^

^is is also possible to adjust a background design for your card^
^and you can choose the inlay for your envelope you like, also the font and color for the front of the envelope and you can put a stamp onto it as well – in fact you can change every single detail the way you want it^

^after your card is finished you just have to save the e-mail adresses to whom you want to send it and it is arriving within minutes at the people´s mail accounts you wanted to invite – it is pretty easy an every step is described so you can´t do anything wrong at all^

Hi guys,
one of the best things to get your friends and family together is hosting a dinner party. You can invite all your favorite people and have a nice, long and deep conversation over a delicious meal and a glass of rosé wine. 
What I love most is preparing upfront. I make decisions on which table scape to take and write down the menu. Usually I am serving an aperitif, a salad or soup upfront. One main course and a dessert. This is where I can get really creative and this is so much fun to me.
But the very first and most important step is to send out invitations. So for this post I teamed up with Paperless Post to share you all the possibilities and advantages of online invitations.
I picked one from the dinner party invitations section. It took me a long time to go through all the differnent templates and to decide which one to take cause there are so many pretty ones. I dediced to go with the Lyford template cause the green, white and gold completes the table scape so well. You can choose from the backdrop and the inside of your electronic envelope onto what kind of stamp you want.
This kind of invitation really is new to me. But I think it has so many advantages. No invitation can get lost, you can send them out straight away and they probably get in your guests inbox within five minutes. Even if you have forgotten someone – which can happen easily with lots of guests – your invitation can still arrive in time.
This really is a great way and it saves you a lot of time and money. You only have to pay for your cards cause you don´t need stamps and you don´t loose time on planing cause you don´t need to wait for your cards to get printed and you won´t stand in line at the post office.

Not to mention the cool animation when you open the card in your e-mail.
Thanks for stopping by.
Take care. See you.
