Wedding preparations

As promised, here are finally some wedding decoration ideas... :)

Here I will show you a few of the things we recently prepared.
The first thing will be the name cards. We used cardboard and put stickers on it - the sticker says "glad you are here" next to the sticker we will write the names of your our guests and place the cardboard on the plate of each person.

We also prepared cardboard hearts in three different colors, on the one side of the heart our guests are invited to write good wishes for us ("Ich wünsche euch"... in Germans means "I wish you...") and will be hang those with the small clothes pins to a cord. Towards the end of the evening we hope that there will be around 60 hearts hanging at a cord, making a nice garland :) 

Another thing we prepared are those small cardboard hearts...they will just be all over the place at the wedding day - on the tables, in the kitchen, outside in the party tent etc. etc. :) To buy the cutting tool was actually a lot cheaper than I thought and its really easy with this tool to make these kind of confetti yourself - no need to buy them.

Finally, we also ordered something online- these cute fortune cookies made out of felt. We are going to put individual messages for every guest in the cookie and place it on his/her plate. We are also going to put a small homemade candy into the cookie and this all together is going to be our gift for our guests :) 

I hope you enjoyed these ideas! More will follow for sure :) 
Have a wonderful day!

Sunny-day-dress

Welcome back Sunshine!

Now that I talked so much about that Fall is coming, the weather decided to get better at least a little and I am able to show you this cute dress before it will be too cold to wear it :)

I think soon I will post a first wedding-preparation-post... last weekend we slowly started handcrafting some decoration and these next days I will continue doing so. Lets see if I make enough beautiful things which are worth being posted on my blog ;) 

I hope you guys had a great start in the week!? I am pretty busy right now, preparing the wedding, trying to earn some money and getting lots of other things done.There is not that much time for blogging but I realized that it feels good from time to time to step out of everthing that needs to be done and to make a blog post or to prepare a blog post or think about which outfit I would like to share with you next :) 

Fall is coming...

Fall is coming here in Germany, no doubt about it...

...I've been hoping that Summer is just taking a break but now the color of trees are changing and the temperatures proove that Summer is over since a little while. Last night I spent the evening putting all my Winter clothes back into my closet and putting my shorts and Summer dresses underneath my bed. It was  sad somehow, but now I try to make the best out of Fall, starting with this grey and black dress which I also got from my last swap-party. As you may have noticed I pair everything with my light pink scarf these days. I just love the scarf and the color suits with everything! 

So here we go for a first Fall outfit :)

By the way, as most of you know, my sunglasses (which I love!) are from Firmoo - http://www.firmoo.com/

They currently have 20% off all their glasses because of their five year anniversairy ... in case you need a new pair of glasses, I guess that now is the right time :)

Have a most beautiful Friday everyone!
Sending you lots of love!

Vegan, gluten-free cherry-cupcakes with cashew-lime frosting

What a long name for those small cupcakes... ;-)

Anyway, they are vegan, gluten-free and super yummy and easy to make! 
For the cupcakes you just need:

1 1/2 cups  gluten free flour of your choice (I used buckwheat flour)
3/4 cups of sugar (I used brown sugar)
1/3 cups of vegetable oil
Vanilla
Cherries
Baking Soda (a spoonfull)
Vinegar (a sponnfull)
And some water (as much as you need to make the dough smooth)

 Blend all you ingedrients together, fill your dough into you cupcake-pan and bake for 20-25 minutes

Then for your frosting you will need:

Cashewnuts
Soy milk  
Fresh lime juice
Some maple syrup

The quantity depends on how much frosting you like - begin by shredding your cashews and then add the liquids until you have a really nice and smooth cashew-paste. 

Add the frosting when your cupcakes are cold .... and enjoy!

I made those last night because I was crawing for something sweet and I actually enjoyed them this morning for breakfast - what a perfect start in the new week and the new month!

Have a wonderful start in the week and in the month - the first month of fall!

Im sending you lots of love!

Green dress

Hello there green Friday :)

Today I want to show you this pretty green dress which I got on my last swap party... I love it, what do you think about it?

I`ve been wearing this dress last weekend for the birthday party of my uncle. Since the weather is getting cold aorund here, I paired the dress with black tights and black ballerinas. We had a really nice party and I enjoyed the company of friends and family in Berlin.
Now there is already a new weekend around the corner... have a most wonderful one and eeeeeeenjoyyyy! :)

Sending you lots of love!

The Breakfast Post (Part II)

Its been a long time ago that I made a Breakfast Post...

... now I want to bring this small series back to live with ideas and inspirations for your (vegan) healthy breakfast :) 

Here we go with pancakes made out of spelt and buckwhat flour, chia seeds, one banana, backing powder and some water - a healthy alternative to the usual wheat pancakes and perfect for a long breakfast on a weekend morning. I love to have my pancakes with maple syrup, homemade cashew-dates-spread, cashew butter or peanut butter and agave syrup... and of course lots of fruits :)

A huge fruit salad with strawberries, dried figues, mangoe, pineapple, banana, peaches, coconut and a little bit of maple syrup and soy milk - yummy!
The really is the most healthy start in the day, I can possibly imagine and yet its sooooo good! Just make sure that you each a huge bowl so that you get enough calories and energy for the first half of the day :) 

Quinoa with homemade almond milk, maple syrup and strawberries - the perfect breakfast if you are low in iron since the quinoa has lot of iron which your body can absorb perfectly in the combination with the strawberries which are high in vitamin C.

I hope you liked my ideas! By the way, something seems to be wrong with my GFC follower add on. Am I the only one who is experienceing these problems or do you have them too? I cannot see the GFC add on on my blog even though it seems still to be installed!?

Anyway, have a perfect week everyone!

Sending you lots of love!

Light Pink Afternoon

Lets start this weekend with some violet and light pink :) 

This Summer I really love light pink. The sweater-dress I am wearing in here is a rather old one from the German organic brand HessNatur which I really love. The scarf is the one I bought in Chicago this Spring and the light pink tights are from my last cloth swapping party.

What are your plans for the weekend? I will go to Berlin, meet up with some friends and celebrate the 70th birthday of my uncle. I am happy about my weekend trip, even though I feel like I am in need of a few days on the sofa. You know this feeling, when you are exited about the plans you have but at the same time you feel like you would also love to just stay on your sofa for three days in a row :)?

Anyway, have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Sending you lots of love!
