Chocolate Pralines Time

Hi Everyone,

this weekend it was finally time for my friend and I to hang out and have a good old girls day again.

We watched some good movies, drank tea and had strawberries with chocolate pralines which I made the day before.

They looked so pretty, paired with the berries that I could not go on having a peaceful afternoon without having to take photos before we could eat them. It was sooooo not easy to resist the temptation for even a few more minutes….

It is a typical blogging thing, that you need to take a picture of absolutely EVERYTHING before you allow yourself to eat, drink or use it…. but on a sunny afternoon when you are lusting after dark chocolate and fruit it is not that easy….

So after snapping my photos it was time to dump the camera in the corner and dig in…..

See you next time!

Lots of love,

Spring is here!

Hello Everyone,

Last week I got to spend some quality time with my family back home in Germany. It was lovely!

For the first time in a few years I celebrated my birthday with my whole family, got to see all my friends, had some really good food and just spend a lot of time in the countryside and sunshine.

The weather was so amazing and the first spring flowers came out. They were all so pretty that I really wanted to share some pictures with you.

Enjoy!

Lots of love,

Linda

Comfy but stylish travel

Hi ladies,

So I think, today I have perfected airport travel for myself. I mean, don't we all know that feeling of being in the airport, dragging our heavy bags behind us containing all those absolutely essential items like the extra perfume, 5 lipsticks (just to have a choice, you never know what might happen), an extra jumper for the cold plane, etc. Surely you get my drift.

But behold! So far, I was always one of those poor creatures that were dripping in sweat before they have even passed security, but once you actually get on the plane, you are freezing because you just don't like air conditionings! Typical!

So, today, I have changed up my outfit first and for all. Keeping it easy going but still cute. 

Opting for a light blouse with a cami underneath and pairing it with a nice pair of blue jeans did the trick. To conquer the cold on the plane, I have added a nice matching blazer which will keep me nice and snug. Also, putting on my black ankle boots helped me to avoid spending ages trying to take my shoes off and back on at security,  while having a massive line behind me, all staring me down with evil eyes because I am taking so long. A win win situation! 

I paired my outfit with some classic jewellery like light pink pearl earrings, a silver bracelet inlaid with lapis lazuli, a dainty little necklace and my usual watch.

That's the outfit sorted. Next my hand luggage....... I have used my little zebra trolley for all the bits and bobs that I can't seem to live without for about 2-3 hours. But this time, instead of keeping all my travel documents in my trolley, I chose a little cross body bag for little things like my phone, passport, boarding pass, etc.; my bank card also got thrown in which makes any shopping so much more convenient. 

And yeah, I don't have to dig through the trolley which is by now surely a huge mess on the inside.

By now, I am not sure how I have ever survived the airport any other way........ The only thing i am still carrying is my coat, but that is only because it was serially freezing outside today.

Lots of love,

Deichmann`s exciting new collaboration

Hello Ladies,

Deichmann is launching an exiting new range of shoes in collaboration with Caroline Blomst for spring 2014 today and I have to say that I couldn`t wait to get my hands on them!

The collection has a shoe for every occasion, ranging from casual sneakers to lacey high heels for a night out. 
Something for everyone no matter what your personal fashion preference might be!

The styles I chose work really well with my everyday lifestyle because they are very chic but also promise to be very comfortable. An absolute must for me!

The first pair I tried were these GORGEOUS navy and cream tee bar heels with gold studs (£24.99). Amazingly comfortable and lightly padded on the insole which is always a nice bonus.

They remind me a lot of the rock studs from Valentino, but for hundreds of pounds less and you only loose a few inches of heel!!!!! Which does not really bother me, because it just makes them more wearable for everyday, and that`s always a good thing! 
So if you want to grab yourself a designer dupe bargain, go for these.

 

 

 

  

  

 

 

 

The next pair I chose were these black, drop side peep toes (£27.99). They are stunning and simply work for so many occasions!
You can pair them down with jeans and a sweater, wear them out for a fancy dinner and I think they are even funky enough for a rock concert.

This pair is a very classic choice but they get a nice touch of edginess through the silver metallic heel and insole.

 

 

 

 

The material and quality of both pairs is exceptional. Comparing them to higher end shoes, they can definitely more than keep up. To be honest, I have been buying Deichmann shoes since the first shop opened in my hometown back in Germany, and never stopped. Up to now, it is still my favourite place to buy shoes. I even got my wedding shoes from them!!!!

You can buy the new collection in any Deichmann store from today on or go to www.deichmann.com.

So on that note, I will finish my entry for today. I hope you enjoyed my first ever shoe review!!

Lots of love,
Linda xxxx
