Spring Pastels

Time for more pastel shades...

... when I posted my first pastel shaded look back in February one dear follower of mine wrote me that pastel colors fit my personality much better than any other colors and that I should wear them more often. This comment made me really happy. Not only did a follower of mine seem to know about my personality but also did I pretty much agree to her statement. I am more the soft kind of women so why not wear more soft tones? Well, I do since! And I did on Saturday when we went to the market and took these pictures here afterwards :) 

So here I am wearing a second hand jeans, an old Lands End shirt, my always-and-everyday-worn light pink jacket and the scarf that I bought the same day (or rather nigth) as the jacket in Chicago. Plus my "new" second hand loafers. This month is little crazy with shoes. I rarely ever buy shoes but this month I bought like three pairs. All second hand but all only worn once, so they are basically new. You will definetly get to see the others soon :)

How do you like this look?


I hope you are having a great start into the new week! Here this week is going to be as exciting as the former weeks have been - since we have started our own business life is so thrilling somehow and I am soooooo in love with my work :) 

Also, next to work, I have another thing going on that I will share with you very soon... hopefully by next weekend... and I am incredibly excited about that one!


Anyway, have a great week for now and enjoy life!
Sending much love!

Around My Place (Part II - with Ecover)

It's time for another peek into my home...



back in December I showed you a few details from my flat and today I want to take you back there :) 

Also I want you to get to the know the brand ecover
aka "tapping into nature today for a cleaner tomorrow".

Why is ecover so absolutely worth promoting? There is a whole long list of good reasons:

- All ecover formulas are biodegradable. That means that after use, the ingredients will break down into natural compounds 

- ecover bottles are made from a blend of sugarcane-based plastic and post-consumer recycled plastic (and they look good - dont they :)?).

-All of ecover’s products are Leaping Bunny certified. Leaping Bunny is an international certification that assures that no animal testing is done in any phase of product development by the company, its laboratories or suppliers.

- ecover is using nature-inspired chemistry like fermentation to minimize their impact on the environment (fermentation can be used to make effective ingredients for soap) 

Need more good reasons? Visit ecover.com to learn more about this really and honestly impressive brand that is doing a great job in promoting a more sustainable and conscious lifestyle (almost) all over the world. You can find their prodcuts all over Europe, in Malayasia, the Emirates, the US and so on... ;) 

I have been using their dish soap for a long time and I was amazed by their other products that I got to test for you.



So the first picture is from our kitchen. My husband build the kitchen all by himself and I really love it a lot. It's the place where I spend most of my time :) 

These pictures here are from our bathroom. I never had a bathroom with a window before I moved in here, and I enjoy it so much! I can take my shower in the sunshine and this truely is pure luxury for me!  

About the ecover products here - I was really happy to get to try their laundry powder with zero fragrance, dyes or optical brighteners. This is exactly what I was looking for for my little one's diapers and clothes. Find out more about the laudry powder here

The stain remover is doing a pretty good job when it comes to cocoa stains - I only tried it on cocoa stains so far ... yes, we drink a lot of hot chocolate (vegan and sugar free of course!)



By the way, last Sunday my husband and I spent the day Spring-cleaning the house. The ecover products arrived just on time to help us - and they did a great job! I never thought I would say so but Spring cleaning is so much fun! We spent the entire Sunday cleaning every corner of the house, listening to music, having breaks on the balcony and ending up with a clean and nice flat :)
  

Now to our living room ... we spent loads of beautiful hours in there during Winter, but now that it is getting warmer we rarely ever go there, because we are on our balcony all day long, or if not outside, then in the kitchen, preparing food, chocolate, muffins or smoothies to enjoy on the balcony (no, that's not true, we also work in our office several hours every day). Anyway, at night the evening sun is shining in to the room and I love the light at this time of the day.


I hope you enjoyed this peek into my place and I really recommend checking out ecover and start cleaning in a more sustainable way! You will not regret it and the environment will thank you for sure! 

Sending loads of love!

Pencil Skirt and Dark Blue Blouse

Happy Monday Everybody!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend, a fun and nice April fools day and a lot of Spring vibes coming around your corner of the world!?

I enjoyed loads of sunshine this weekend and I truely inauguarted (can I actually say this in this context?) our balcony. I spent most of my week out there, enjoying the sun, smoothies, time with my daughter, breakfast, lunch, dinner, hot chocolate (yes hot chocolate on a mild Spring night is as good as it is on a cold Winter night on the couch ;)), etc. etc. etc. in between I went to the playground for an hour or two and then back to the balcony. It was a perfect weeken!

But now to my look! Bare legs! Yesses! My first bare legs of the year on April 4th - I think this is a new record of mine. I really wanted to wear a skirt today and I really did NOT want to wear tights. So bare legs it was. With my pencil skirt from H&M (from last Spring) I am wearing a maternity blouse (but noone can tell, can you?) and my very last "bad" purchase - last year in August when I already had decided to buy second hand or fair only, I went for a very last time to ZARA and got this jacket. I feel very good about my new shopping behaviour but I do not regret that I bought this jacket ;) 

How do you like this look? 


Have a most beautiful week everyone out there!
Sending loads of love and sunshine to all of you!
