Hi guys,

               (post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
usually most people are on vacation during the summer months. Flying to culturel places or laying down by the sea but this is not granted or always possible. Many people can´t go on vacation maybe they won´t get this much time off or there isn´t enough money left for a trip.
So today I am sharing my 5 tips on getting as much summer feeling as possible without laying by the sea at Cabo San Lucas.

1. Wear your summer clothes wherever you go – whether it is to the grocery store, the city or to any kind of appointment. It gives you a different feel when you are wearing a flattering and airy and bright colored summerdress.

2. Get a deckchair and a palmtree for your patio or your balcony and go outside as much as possible. Laying in there with a drink and a straw hat in the sun completely changes your mood.

3. Decorate your home for summer. There are so many cute options with palm prints or flamingo prints. You can read my post about it here. 

4. Choose your summer drink. There are new creations every year and at the end of trying there is always one which tastes best. I made this rosé wine with russian wild berry lemonade and raspberries my winner. It is an old recipe from Monika Hibbs´s blog. I just love her creations.

5. Get some cute summer pieces for your wardrobe. I recently ordered this straw hat which says “chasing the sun….” from ASOS and this palm print bikini from SheIn. These are perfect pieces for you Summer atmosphere and really affordable.

Hope there is something which let´s you forget about the fact that you are at home in your vacation even it is just for a while.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Take care. See you.

Bohemian flower dress wishlist with Zaful….

Hi dolls,

today I am teaming up with Zaful to show you my favorite bohemian dresses for summer which can also be transitioned into fall so easily. But if you are searching for a cooler but still flowery alternative to the hot weather now you should definitely have a look at their  floral bikini set too. I especially love the blue bikini sets for a vacation by the sea.

So isn´t is great combining everything you like about a dress in one piece? It definitely is. Let´s have a closer look at this beautiful floral embroidered vintage a-line dress. The flower embroidery is so pretty and you might know by now how much I love flowers everywhere. And how easily could this dress be transitioned into fall. Just combine it with a pair of pointed zipper ankle boots and this shawl collar belted waistcoat and you are good to go for every fall day.

I also love the mustard yellow color of this cut out floral tunic dress and aren´t the lace details pretty. I really can imagine myself wearing this with a hat and nude boots or now with a pair of suede ankle strap sandals and a trendy straw bag.
 
 I really love veratile pieces like these dresses which are able to transition into another season cause sometimes it is just to hard to pack away such beautiful dresses.

Zaful is offering a 10% off for subscribing to their website and free shipping on orders over 30€/$.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Take care. See you.

Happy Saturday dolls,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
wow this was a full week of to-do´s. I had my ususal line dance class on Monday and I had to help my dad at his company on two evenings. 
I also signed in for our local fitness studio since I decided that I have to loose some weight (you might have seen from last weeks Saturday post that we are eating low carb now). So let´s sum it up.

Food:
We cooked a lot this week but I didn´t take much pictures. In fact I really forgot to take some at all. I am really sorry.

I made this incredible cauliflower pizza which tasted amazing. I was really sceptical at the beginning cause I thought this might not work at all but it turned out great.

Another thing I tried out where these Sriracha meatballs and they where awesome. I love the Flying Goose Brand sauces. They taste so good. I got the normal spicy and the garlic spicy on amazon.

And of course I made some sweets for the weekend – wait for it – peanut butter cookies. YES !! 

Shopping:
You might think I am going crazy but I have a bunch of pullovers this week. The prices are really low right now cause know one even thinks of fall. Navy from Zign, black Bik Bok from and pink from New Look. 

I also put this pair of boots in this beautiful hazelnut color from Zign on my wishlist but they really gottta wait. 
I am just feeling like summer is almost over for this year since we went on our summer vacation so early. 

Another thing I have found is this BEAUTIFUL Tommy Hilfiger shopper. It would have been the perfect accessory for 4th of July with all the stars and the red, blue and white. It is a reversable tote so you can put the inside out and you have a navy shopper. Such a cute and versatile piece. And it also has a little bag chain with a tassel and a purse for your coins.


I also got this black pair of sandals from Miss Selfridge with some butterflies on the straps. This really is a dreamy and whimsical pair of shoes.

 There hadn´t been more fashion related pieces this week but I started on finishing my office so I can finally shoot it for you and I also found some vases and a golden tray for my dressing room (but this is still gonna take a while).



I got this golden plant pots. It has this old vintage style which I love so much. There are three sizes and they are perfect for the floor or for the windowsill. 


TV:
Since we had so much to do there wasn´t that much we where watching. We saw the Bachelorette on Wednesday and I watched a movie called Seventh Son on Thursday and boy this was cool. It was a mixture of Harry Potter and Game of Thrones. Magical creatures, knights and much more.

So now we are heading out to get some new plants for our patio and my office. 

Have a nice weekend and thanks for stopping by .

Take care. See you.

Hi dolls,

today I am writing about the second city we went to while our trip to south-tyrol, to Bolzano. You can view last weeks post about Bressanone here.

We only had one day and one night to stay in Bolzano. So after checking-out at our hotel in Bressanone we went on a half hour drive to get to our next destination. The Eggentaler hotel in Bolzano. It was a really nice hotel. Nondescript on the outside but wow in the inside. A really modern hotel with a countryfied twist. I don´t know if that makes sense to you, you probably gotta see it on your own.

After checking-in we went directly to the city centre. I especially wanted to go to Bolzano cause they have my two favorite stores in Italy – Kiko Milano and Carpisa. They really have some beautiful pieces of make-up and handbags there. 

After shopping we went to a big place in the middle of the city where all the restaurants and coffees where located and had some lunch. The view was amazing. You can have a look at all the old buildings and at the same time you can see the mountains very clear since you are at the lowest point in the valley.

The weather wasn´t so nice. It rained from time to time but it was still warm so we didn´t mind. We went back to the hotel and rested a little before we went back into the city to have some food. It was a completet different scenery in the evening cause they where almost no people left. We had a quick dinner and went back to the hotel as a big thunderstorm started, although we had to pack for the next day cause I wanted to get to Merano as early as possible in the next morning so I wouldn´t miss the market.
The buildings are really pretty although I think they aren´t as typically Italian as they would be way down south. They have lots of arcs and underpasses on their main streets. 
This really was a quick round up today but as I mentioned we only had one full day there so we didn´t do this much. 
The last city we went to will be up next week. So stay tuned.
As always thanks for stopping by. 
Take care. See you.
