What’s happening after Christmas Dinner?

Veröffentlicht am von

We all know that for the next two weeks we can forget about light food and the no-snack-in-between-meals rule. I have told you about the perfect dress and accessories to wear but there is also a lovable comfortable part to Christmas…. The pyjamas!!!

When you have just spent 4 hours sitting at a table eating, drinking, chatting – what is better than changing into your pyjamas and siting on the sofa with a warm tea by the fire. (This is an ideal picture; you can also sit next to your electrical heater).  And don’t worry it doesn’t need to be cliché Christmas PJs with dear faces on them; you can also be refined but still comfy!

When I think about Christmas I see glitters, colours (lots of reds and greens) and to choose the perfect after – dinner pyjamas I would like something that is the opposite of this; such as pastels, light and gentle colours or materials.

I really like these two pyjama tops from my favourite lingerie brand Princesse Tam Tam, it looks so pure because of the colour and transparency but also the combination of cashmere, silk and cotton feels amazing on the skin.

I also like the idea of Woman’s Secret for their really nice pattern, and these transparent trousers look lovely!

And of course how could you forget about Victoria’s secret? I chose these two pyjamas, the first one because its cotton and the pink and white stripes are crazy cute! And I love the second one because grey silk is so classy, plus you can get the slippers to match the whole outfit!

But if you really want to be comfortable you will need nice comfy slippers and this Spanish brand, Oysho has the perfect pair for you:

And when I saw this dressing gown from this same brand I thought I should get it, I can’t resist wanting to touch it, it looks so soft and perfect for some relaxing time!

Now I’m not sure which part I am looking forward the most; the party dress dinner part or the comfortable pyjama part! One thing is for sure; I can’t wait for next Tuesday ;)

I wish you all a Joyeux Noel and Bonne Année – have a great celebration and see you in 2013!

While I am writing this post (later than usual), my homemade Swedish candy is cooling off and my German cookies are baking in the oven !
Lots to do these last days before Christmas.
For the first time we will be celebrating Christmas at our house and the whole family will come to visit us!

Although I am very busy I still managed to put together a little wishlist., hopefully Santa will see it ;-) If you are still looking for a gift – maybe it you will find some tips here!:)

Besides all the nice, shiny things out there, my family and I have
few other wishes.

Health is the most important precious thing in life and the past year has shown me that in a very clear and cruel way. Luckily all is going in the right direction now. but if only that wish would come true, all other things wouldn’t matter!

More quality time with the family is my second big wish. I tend to spend too much time on the phone or computer when I am supposed to play and hang with my girls.

And then my third wish is more general. I wish for a more thoughtful way on how we all act to each other. A smile and a nice word can make such a difference, no matter if that is in the supermarket or on the playground.

With a big smile on my face, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful time with your loved ones !

Christmas table decoration

Veröffentlicht am von

Just a few days left until we will get together with our beloved ones for Christmas.
It’s high time to think about a nice decoration for the dinner table. Let me help you to set the perfect arrangement for your holiday and check out my tips for decorations with greenery, candles, silver, lovely place cards….and whatever you can think of!

First of all I would like to show you my Christmas dinner table decoration from last year. Just to show that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get an elegant Christmas dinner decor.

My last year’s table-theme was ‚brown and golden‘. First of all I put a brown velvet tablecloth on the table and then a table runner right in the middle. I also spread some fir branches on the runner and put nice deco elements on and around it.

Everything in brown and golden is welcome. For example, some nice cones, dried orange slices or cinnamon sticks, which will also bring a nice Christmas flavour to the table. You can also put some golden spray on the cones to make them a bit sparkly. Of course, we need some candle light for the Christmas dinner, so don’t forget about it! Last but not least, I put some cinnamon cookies on the plates that I was baking the night before. They were perfectly working as a place for cards…I just put a nice satin ribbon on the little cookie-bags to fix the name-cards of the guests.

However this is only one of a thousand possibilities to glamour up your Christmas table.
So let me give you some more inspirations.

I hope these suggestions will help you a bit to find your own way for Christmas table decoration! However, don’t forget….in the end it’s all about getting together and having a nice time!

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a very happy and healthy new year!

I will be back in 2013 with some new ideas and suggestions for you!
