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 lovelies,

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

one of my favorite shoe trend for Spring/Summer are block heels. There are so many different styles and colors and the thick heels make it really easy to balance and comfortable to walk in.

The outfit is kept pretty casual since I wanted to set the focus on the shoes here. I always love to add a pop of color to my outfit whether it is a shirt or an accessory.

I love the metallic detailing on the straps. This really is bringing some fun to the whole shoe. Don´t you think they are darling too in this beautiful blush shade ?

I have rounded up some of my favorites I have found online:

1 Bonprix Multicolor Block heel sandal / 2 Pier One blush / 3 Steve Madden Christey / 4 Only Shoes Ollalie / 5 mtng block heel sandal / 6 Vince Camuto Brashell / 7 New Look Wilma / 8 Mint & Berry Block Heel / 9 Steve Madden Primpy

Which ones are your favorite ?

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care. See you. Love K.

Casual Saturday #4….

Hello and happy Saturday everybody,

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

We are preparing for mothers day over here so I don´t know where to start cause in fact we didn´t do anything else important.The week was short for both of us. Florian only worked until Tuesday and I did until Thursday. We had several appointments so it was easier to take days off.

I had line dance on Monday and on Tuesday so nothing else happened there. On Wednesday we where invited to Florian´s cousins birthday party. Thank god it was a warm day and still warm in the evening cause you can´t attend an outside party with bad weather. I got a Coastal Scents Go Cairo palette and a flower bouquet as a present. You can never go wrong with flowers and I knew that she liked make-up and I got her this L´oréal eyeshadow palette in nude beige. The nude shades are a staple for every girls make-up drawer.

The yearly fun fair started yesterday and I wanted to go so bad because I need to get updated and restocked on new spices. They have a little wooden store where they sell the best spices I have found so far. The problem is that they attend only two times a year so I have to know upfront what I need.

I ended up buying a lot.

House:

We set up our patio furniture last weekend and I love how it turned out (plannig a separate post about it soon). We got lots of fresh and colorful flowers. Now Summer can finally come. Now the only thing I am still looking are deckchairs. I already have a small table from Polywood. A red one, so I am not quite sure if I take two red or two grey deckchairs.

Food:

I only tried out two new recipes. I was curious about the egg roll in a bowl recipe I have seen so many times all over social media. So I had to try out this one cause who doesn´t love egg rolls.

The second one are baked burritos. I have read about it some time ago and with all the Cinquo de Mayo posts it came back in mind. You fill your burritos with all the ingredients you want to have in them and then you put them into a baking dish. Sprinkle some grated cheese on top (you can also use cheddar but I wanted gouda cheese) and put it into the oven for about 30 minutes (or just how you like it – I want a real crispy cheese crust). Really simple and so so delicious.

Shopping:

I have been eyeing with a few things but I am still not quite sure about it. It would be this bag. I love it but who needs a black one in Summer.

Another thing I have been thinking about is this pair of studded heels. I already have the baby blue one and I like wearing them so much.

So here is what I ordered this week. A bikini with a palm tree print and I am so looking forward to this. It is the ultimate Summer pattern for me (sorry flamingos) and a beach blanket for our Summer vacation. It is a round one so I am pretty excited how it turns out.

Also two off-the-shoulder dresses, an orange one with short sleeves and a gingham one with long sleeves.

TV:

There wasn´t really anything this week I was interested in. I have seen that Game of Thrones is going to be continued in July so there´s this. I have watched Peter Pan (the Disney movie) and I still love it. It is my favorite Disney movie back when I was a child and until now.

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care. See you.

Casual Saturday #2….

Hi guys,

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

last
week wasn´t so much to do like the weeks before (preparing for Easter
and getting the decoration up and the tablescpape set and the menu for
brunch) but we still did something – not only sat on the sofa.

TV:

Still watching “The good wife” and my favorite movie was on TV so I had to watch this one of course – “The devil wears Prada”. At the end I always wonder if that is how it works behind a fashion magazine. I ordered one of my favorite Disney movie on DVD. I was thinking of starting to collect all the Disney movies and give it to my future children when they would be able to watch and understand. I think that is a sweet idea.

Food:

On
Easter Monday we were invited at Florians´grandma´s house for lunch. I
must admit that I was really glad cause after two days of brunch I
needed a change. She had some kind of serbian sausage with garlic with a
sauce with white beans and a some sort of noodles. This sounded really
adventurous but it was delicious.

And of course I tried out 2 of my saved recipes. First of all the “Easy Garlic Italian Parmesan Rolls”. I love rolls and when they are still warm from the oven you got me. So I had to try these out. Found them on the Blog of Jennca Parcell – A Slice of Style. I really like reading her blog posts and the twins are just the cutest.

The second one is from an Instagram feed I love it is called foodguidevideos. They have short videos on how they make different meals. Once in a while I find one I am really curious about and this is one of them, the Orange Chicken with Rice.

On Thursday we went to my favorite restaurant – the Tiziano in Regensburg to celebrate Florians´ new job. I was eating the baby octopus with the stir fryed vegetables like usual. My favorite dish there.

Wow – this seems like lots of food this week !!

House:

I ordered two more rugs. One for the living room and the other one for our bedroom. I am into colors lately. I had that a few years ago and then I wanted everything in white and a light grey color cause this matches anything but these days I really like a splash of color.

I wanted to set up the patio furniture we got but I got a little quenched by two snow days this week.

Hobby:

Didn´t do this much cause of the Easter holidays there was no training but I am at a Line Dance party tonight. So we´ll see how this is gonna be.

I
started on planing some one day road trips to places which are nearby
but first of all the weather has to be better. I am not going anywhere
as long as it is still snowing.

Shopping:

I placed a complete order on accessories at Zalando. I am really looking forward on how the pieces are. The main focus is on western buckle belts and waist belts in metallic or rose colors. Since the demand is so huge on belts this Spring and Summer.

And I got those two pretty blouses from the bonprix online shop.
