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!

Light Pink and Baby Blue

Since I am all light pink and baby blue today...

... I decided that at least the background for the pictures should be somehow rough... I do not want to look like a candy, you know ;)!? 

So about my look today. I changed my closet back from Winter items to Summer items and found these chino pants! Of course I had to put them on right away. I wore them on the blog last Summer here with a white top, so I wanted to wear them with another color this time. I thought baby blue would look cute. When I put on the baby blue shirt (from Hess Natur, an old one from my mother actually) and looked in the mirror, I saw some kind of candy with hair and glasses... so I decided to put the chunky cardigan from Free People on top to get some edge to the outfit. 

When we went out for a walk to enjoy this beautiful day today (and to take some pictures for my blog) I decided to go to the tram-graveyard for pictures. The background colors may not really fit the colors of the look but somehow I was looking for a rough background for this girly colored outfit. I think I will be back at the tram graveyard for more pictures in the coming weeks and months. Its really a great place for shootings :) 

How do you like the look? 

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend!? I will tell you more about what I have been up to in my Thursday post :) 
So far, have a great week, enjoy the Spring weather wherever you are and be happy! 

Sending much love!

Hello Spring!

Yihaaaaaa for Spring!

This is my first official Spring look! The warm weather came last week and stayed for a few days. I took the opportunity to shoot this look and to show you my new sunglasses. I actually get all my glasses from Firmoo. I got a first pair some three years ago and I wear them ever since. I have one pair of sunglasses that I have been wearing for the past two years. This year I thought its time for a new one :)

Otherwise, I am wearing my second hand boyfriend jeans here, together with a shirt from Lands End. I am wearing the shirt quite a lot, but somehow it never made it on my blog before. Because of the floral print, I thougt its perfect for my first Spring look. Do you agree :)?  

Check out the golden tips of my shoes - arent they super fancy ;)? I really like them! I actually got these shoes from this second hand app that I am using - someone bought these booties, never wore them and sold them again for half the price. I love these kind of deals :)

I hope you all had a good weekend and an even better start into the new week!?

I went to see my father in northern Germany and explored a few pretty places around the Northern Sea Coast of Germany. By now I am actually in Denmark where I spend a week with my family in law. We have these really cute and cozy houses at the beach and even though the weather is bad, I just enjoy watching the waves all day long :) 

Sending much love to all of you!  

Back to Blue

Grey and Blue still are my favorite colors...

... at least when it comes to what I wear.
Blush is another favorite of course - but those of you following my blog know that already ;) 

Aynway, so here we go with another verison of my grey pencil skirt from Hess Natur and my second had cardigan. I wore a somehow similar outfit back here with a pink detail instead of blue. The blue sweater is one that I bought back in 2011 at H&M. I wore it on the blog all the way back in 2012 (find the post here) - thats like four years ago! Wow! How time flies! I feel like I was such a child at the time. Anyway, back to my look. So I really hope that this is my last Winter outfit for until December this year - I am ready for Spring and I want to get the Spring vibes to my blog. However, its difficult though, as long as its 1 C outside. So I wore my hat for the pictures but decided to take my big coat and scarf off to not look tooooo much like a Winter-woman ;)

How do you like this look?

How was your Monday? Mine was full of SUNSHINE! Oh we did not have as nice weather as we had today in moooonths! I went for a long walk with the little one and after her midday nap we even went to a playground where she could explore a sandpit for the first time of her life. She had so much fun and so I had I watching her eating sand and playing around with it. 
I am so ready for Spring now!

Have an awesome week everyone! 
Sending much love!

Ankle Jeans

Ankle Jeans are such a bad trend for Winter...

 

... I mean who wants to be cold around their ankles? Well, I do not but still I found this pair of high waist ankle jeans second hand and wanted to wear it the day I got it in the mail. Which was yesterday. Unfortunatly yesterday it was like -2 C and I did not feel like walking around with bare ankles.Long story short; I just wore some tights underneath and I was super warm and comfy :)

I combined the new in second hand jeans with my striped tee from Lands End - it has these pretty embroideries along the neckline which makes it somehow special. I wore my really really old (like 2008 or so...) coat on top and my no-day-and-no-blogpost-without-these black boots. 

By now you may have noticed that the background of my outfit pictures looks the same every week since more than a month... well, we TRY to find the time to go to other places and there is a whole list of cool places where we wanna shoot my looks. But well, we seriously do not find the time! More on that further below... 

How do you like this look?

So why is my Monday post up on Tuesday? Because Monday was too busy. So here is the thing, my husband and I worked the last couple of month on building our own company. A huge step was made yesterday and we worked towards this milestone for the past ten days. We worked over the weekend, we worked the entire last week and we worked yesterday until 9pm. And now things calm down again and I am ready to prepare some blog posts for the coming weeks, to think about outfits and topics, and to clean the apartment ;)  

By the way, thanks a lot for your comments on my last post! It actually seems like it was my most visited post ever (like in the short time) so I guess I gonna make these kind of posts every now and then :) 

For now, much love to all of you wonderful people! You are precious! Never forget that :) 

Striped Skirt and Poncho Love

Poncho + Skirt = Love :)

At least thats how I feel. This poncho made it on my blog quite a few times already, like here or here or even here. I love it! Some of you may remember I got it back in 2013 as a birthday gift... anyway, so I was wearing this poncho of mine together with this really old blouse from Mango and this skirt from H&M. I actually bought this skirt back in 2014 when I was around three months pregnant. It was on sale at H&M and at the time I bought way too many things on sale at H&M. So I bought this skirt even though I had a little bit of a belly already and it did not fit. After pregnancy I was super excited to finally wear it - just to realize two months after giving birth that I still have quite a womb and that the skirt does not fit. Then I somehow forgot about it. And last week I took it out of the closet and decided that now, finally, its time to wear it :) 

What you cannot see on these pictures is that we had to make our little shooting underneath a roof because it was snowing so bad. It was freezing cold when I took of my coat for the pictures and I was glad I left my scarf on. The poncho does just not look as good with a coat on top so I did not want to wear it for the pictures - and I am totally willing to freeze for my blog, you know ;)

Now, how do you like this look?

By the way, I realized that recently I make like soooo many mistakes when I write my blog. Writing things as life instead of live or roof instead of ceiling, or now instead of know etc. To my defense, I wanted to let you know that I always write my posts at night, after a long, exhausting but wonderful day, spent with work, my daughter, my daughter, my daughter and my daughter. And my husband too. Usually I am pretty pretty tired after 8pm but of course I do want to blog anyway. Thats how all those spelling and grammar mistakes increase and multiply. I hope you dont mind :) 

Now, be ready for this first week of March, the first month of Spring! isn't is super exciting that Spring is juuuuust around the corner now? Let the snow melt and give me some sunshine! Yay!

Sending much love to all of you!  

More Winter Layers

Another woolen sweater...

... because its all I wear these days. Sorry for being boring ;) 

So today I was wearing this reeeeallllyy old sweater. I think it used to belong to one of my big brothers so its probably some 15 years old or even more. I think I will have to brush the wool so that it looks a little "newer" again, but today I forgot to do it so it looks as old as it is ;) 

Underneath I was wearing a long blouse from H&M and on top I was wearing a simple black scarf. Some black tights, black boots, earrings, all done :)

How do you like this look?  

Did you try my bliss balls over the weekend ;)? I made a few ones and enjoyed them Saturday night while watching youtube videos and pampering myself with a nice facemask, some sugar free whole wheat brownies with homemade banana nice cream and a hot tea (plus the bliss balls! I love this livestyle where you can just eat in abundance and you never have to worry about calories or getting fat or being unhealthy or whatever!). 

How was your weekend? 

I wish you a most wonderful week ahead and I send a ton of love to all of you!

Oh Happy Gray

Oh happy day, oh happy gray...

... it's still all gray around here - the sky, the streets, and my coat :) 

Today I was wearing a new skirt from Hess Natur, an old sweater from Old Navy, my second hand coat from Monki which I bought in Winter 2014 when I was pregnant, and my cashmere scarf that my friend from Pakistan brought with him when he came to visit last year. I am also wearing my earrings from my friends brand FRNCK :)

So how was your Monday? 

I had my weekly toddlers group which is always very nice - not only does my little one love it to play with other small ones, but I also really enjoy sitting together with two friends of mine, chatting and drinking tea while the little ones are having a good time :) 

However, today I was still somehow tired from my weekend which I spent at a seminar and networking meeting in the Harz Mountains. It was great and I went home with soooo much new inspiration but it was also exhausting somehow. The little one went with me and she did such a great job! She just played while I was networking, discussing different topics in seminars, or listenting to speeches held. 

It was a wonderful weekend overall, but I am sure you all know that it can be exhausting to talk to loads of people and to listen to loads of intersting things said :) 
So I guess tomorrow will be pyjama day again, it is supposed to be cold and rainy anyway and since I can work from home and I did the groceries today, I guess I will be fine ;)

Have a greeeeeaaaat week everyone! I will be back on Thursday with some healthy, sweet and delicious alternatives to all the sweet junk food out there!

Sending lots of love!

High Waist Jeans and Winter Coat

I am totally able to understand why high waist jeans are so popular...

 ... I am totally not able to understand why I did not wear a high waist jeans on the blog so far! I mean they make long legs, they are cozy, they make your belly look flat, they are warm, you rarely need a belt. There are so many reasons for why to wear high waist jeans.

So here it is. Finally. A high waist jeans on my blog. The jeans  is second hand from Pull&Bear (btw, do you know this brand? I have no idea where its from and what kind of brand it is...), the sweater is second hand (I almost sold this one at the fleamarket last November but then, last second, decided to keep it anyway, and since I wear it like once a week) and the woolen coat is from when I lived in the US back in 2013. Oh yes. Finally a Winter coat on the blog! The weather these days is really made for stay-at-home mums. Or for unemployed. Or for students on break. Its simply a weather where you want to stay inside. And when you go outside to take advantage of two minutes of sunshine (we took the pictures here in those two minutes) then all you want to wear is a jeans, a sweater and a nice big coat to wrap around you. So thats what I did today :) 

How do you like this cozy look?  

So is the weather where you are also as grey and windy and rainy as it is here?  I think I  spend as much time as home as never before in my life these days/weeks. I work in my pyjamas, I cook in my pyjamas, I play with the little one in my pyjamas and every once in a while I take a shower, put some jeans on and go grocery shopping. I am a very lucky girl, cause my friends support my current lifestyle and come to my place in the afternoon, arriving here in big jackets and with wet faces from the rain. And I welcome them with hot turmeric latte and raw sugar free treats - being thankful for not having to go outside to spend time with them ;)

Thats how life looks like these days. I have to stay that I pretty much love it :) 
How is your life doing? 

Sending you LOADS of love!
