Casual Saturday #8….

….

Hi guys,
 (post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links-not sponsored)
and happy Saturday. This was my view for about an hour and might be for the next couple hours cause I need to plan another week or maybe another two weeks on content and shooting as it is almost vacation time. Yippie. 

But let´s get that weekly round up done.

Food:
In fact I didn´t try a lot of things cause we where pretty busy this week. I made burritos with lettuce instead of the bread and first I wasn´t really convinced but this tasted great.

There wasn´t anything else I had tried this week. Almost sad.

Shopping:
I have been searching for a nice summer dress. Not to casual and not to fancy. The company where Florian is working now has its annual company party next friday. So here are the dresses I ordered and I think I am gonna go with the third one. 



1 / 2 / 3 they are all H&M

Another thing I found and love are these cute espandrilles from H&M. I got them from the teenies section as my feet are pretty small. Perfect additon to my summer wardrobe and they definitely have to go on vacation with me.

TV:
Since Florian has a soccer trip this weekend. I am the master over the remote so I have been watching Girlboss nonstop. I always wanted to watch but I now he wouldn´t be interested. I am currently at season one episode 7 or 8 I think and I like it pretty much. The only downside is (just my opinion) that the reactions or actions are sometimes exaggerated and that is something I just don´t like. But if you have the book you really should watch.

Chloe and I are heading to my grandma later to get some coffee and tomorrow we are getting some Indian takeaway food and that´s pretty much it. The weather is strange today. In fact it is super hot in the sun but the wind is really cold so your body can´t decide if it is sweating or freezing. 

Wishing you all a nice weekend.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Take care. See you.

Casual Saturday #7….

Mug and plate is H&M
Cookie recipe from HRHH

….


Hi guys,
 (post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links-not sponsored)
another week is finally over and we are getting closer to our vacation each and every day. 

I already started packing as it is really warm in Italy and I want to wear as many Summer dresses I can and on the other note I want to take as many outfit pictures as possible cause I won´t get these backgrounds back to soon. But I planed a seperate post on packing.


Shopping:
I am still thinking about these pair of adidas sneakers. I have ordered them in white and sent them back and now I might get the pink ones. I can wear a kids size easily so they would be cheaper too.






Another thing I purchased is this clear acrylic organizer from amazon for my make-up corner in the bathroom. In fact I am just sitting on the bath tub and use the windowsill but I can´t open the window that easily when I have to remove every single thing so this cute little organizer really is a win for me.


I also found this adorable bag from Hallhuber. Doesn´t it look like a little cloud ?
It is from the 40 years of style collection and just so adorable. It is available in several colors but I love the baby blue shade. The bamboo handle is just the coolest and it has also an extra bag inside for all the smaller things you carry with you.


Reading:
I don´t know if this counts for reading (cause afterall I use it as a coffeetable book) but I got the latest Lauren Conrad book – Celebrate and I almost read it at once. This is something which I am really interested into. Tablescapes, decoration, menus, table manors and table settings and so on. It is the perfect book (and I also lost All in good taste from Kate Spade) if you want to improve yourself at those themes.




Food:
I tried out several things and my favorite of these week where the buffalo wings lettuce taccos. These where delicious I couldn´t get enough and I am not eating really much for dinner usually.



Another thing I tried was this shrimp / rice / broccoli dish. It wasn´t bad – Florian liked it really much – but I didn´t like the sauce. I might try this one again but with a different sauce.




And last but not least a vegetarian option. A chickpea curry. This was by far my favorite. So so good. It smelled so good I wanted Indian food immediately.

If you want to have any recipe information you can E-Mail me. Most of the recipes are from foodguidevideos from Instagram.

We also tried out a new restaurant in Regensburg.It is called bar Ravel –  a spanish tapas bar. I always wanted to try one out but the closest I got was the Greek tapas bar in London. I have a few pics on my Instagram stories so hurry.

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice weekend. 
Take care. See you.

Casual Saturday #6….


….

Hi guys,

 (post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links-not sponsored)
I love the Summer months for so many things but first and foremost cause there are so many things to do and live is happening outside again.

We finally set up our patio last week – I also wrote a post about it here -so we are sitting outside most of the time. Making BBQ´s, chatting with the neighbours, Chloe loves her little “pool” and just enjoy the warmth and the sun. This adds so much more quality to our spar-time it is insane.

As you might know I took a week of last week and we got lots of things done like going to places nearby I wanted to see for a long time or spending some hours at Ikea to get shelves and storage systems for our pantry/laundry room. 
Food:
 I tried out three new recipes. Let´s start with the sweets. This strawberry buttercream cake is so so good. It tastes like ice-cream. I got this recipe from Monika Hibbs blog (a canadian lifestyle blogger) and it is amazing. 



Another thing I tried is this marinated asparagus. I saw this on an Instagram story and I had to try it cause I love green asparagus. The marinade is so easy. Just put some olive oil, salt, pepper, minced garlic and balsamic into a bowl and mix it and leave it there for about and hour. Then bake it in a pan for about 15 minutes until the consistency of the asparagus gets a little softer. 
 The third dish I made are these spinach – salmon – feta noodles. They may look a little strange cause of the green color but the taste is great. 


Home: 
We got two new shelves for our laundry room to at least create the illusion of looking tidy. Most of the time it is a mess in there. I just need this place to “housework”. 
 But now I set the focus onto the wall with the decoration so no one is looking on the floor anymore – hopefully.

Shopping:

I had been searching for a “blog bag” a long time. By “blog bag” I mean a big shopper which stands by itself and carries my blogging stuff like my calendar, notebook, camera, external hard drive and so on. I got this one from LYDC. I really like their bags and I am glad I found this one. The size is perfect for all my things and isn´t the pattern just cool. 
I also like this and this one. 



I also got a new leather jacket  Mangoon collection in a kind of a used sand color. I have been eying with this one since two months and on Friday the price was finally reduced in stores so I went for it. It is such a soft and thin leather and I love the smell of a new leather jacket. They also have it in a blush tone. So now I am hoping for cooler temps to wear it – no just kidding 🙂



I have been looking for a new foundation and after using this little sample from the Dior Forever foundation I am totally into it. Definitely going to order this one. Another thing I found and I couldn´t be more happy is this hairspray from Living proof which provides frizz. Since it started to have kind of a tropical climate here (this didn´t exist a few years ago) I am started to look for products like these and I found the perfect one through coincidence on Gal meets Glam. You can read the full post here.



TV:
 I didn´t watch anything new. Since the temeratures are so high we are outside the whole evening. Taking blog pics, dining outside, playing with Chloe, enjoying the sun. 
Florian started Better call Saul… yet another laywer series but I think he really likes it.
I also updated my pages on the blog. I have a trend section for a little while now so head over if you are interested into the latest trends.
I hope you had a nice week and having a great weekend. 
Thanks for stopping by.
Take care. See you.

Fashion trend: straw bags….

….

Hi guys,

 (post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affilate Links-not sponsored)
straw bags have been a huge trend since last year but this year they seem to be everywhere. Every brand has different ones in different shapes and with different patterns and there are so many styles. You can get them as clutches as totes and as beach bags. In fact you can wear and use them throughout the whole summer. I am definitely going with this trend cause I like it so much. It creates this beachy and holiday vibe which I am craving for the whole Summer. Not planning on visiting a beach this year so this is my Summer vacation thing. 
Here are some which are available online at the moment but hurry they sell out pretty fast.
