Weleda lip balm: bees wax, jojoba oil, rose oil, shea butter and vanilla

It’s about one month till Christmas – the most romantic time of the year. Soon the wooden huts with fairy lights will be set up all around the city. The windows of the houses, streets, alleys and trees will be festooned with lights and Christmas decoration.
It´s high time for you to think about your own Christmas home decoration!
Let me show you some of my favourite DIY inspirations.

This minimalistic wall decoration tree will be the highlight of your living room.You can easily do it yourself. Just collect some nice branches on your next walk in the woods, cut them into different length and put them on the wall with some nails. All you have to do now is to dig out some of your nicest christmas decoration pieces and hang them on the branches.

Decorate your home with a unique home-made advents calendar. Your children will love it!
Get a wooden board and paint it in your favourite colour. Then put some tape stripes on the board in the form of a fir tree. Now you need 24 clothespins….and of course 24 little presents! Anything is permitted!

Another option for a selfmade advents calender. Print out a picture of a beautiful fir tree and put it on a cardboard. Buy 24 little coloured paper bags and put them on the tree with some pins. Last but not least, get a nice paper star and put it at the top of your christmas calendar tree.
I wish you lots of inner warmth for t h e Christmas time!
Mo GoshtasbLa marinière was a uniform for sailors and fish men in Brittany until Coco Chanel decided to make it à la mode, in Deauville. The navy look became a stamp for summer holidays.

It is now an essential item and a “oh so big French cliché” but let’s see how it stayed fashionable through the years and how we can wear it today.
In the 80’s famous designer Jean Paul Gaultier created a collection using the striped T-shirt on men. Since then the marinière is the JPG trademark. The pattern stretched beyond T-shirts and is now used on many holiday accessories, such as bikini, sunglasses, shoes, bags etc.
I don’t know anyone who hasn’t got a marinière in their wardrobe, to me it goes with everything and it is so easy to wear. You don’t need to be a fashion goddess to figure out what goes with it and that’s why this piece of clothing is perfect!

Personally, I like a marinière to be a bit loose, I would even take it a size bigger. I had a crush on this Sandro one but you can find more classic and cheaper marinière’s on Petitbateau website.

A lot of celebrities are often snapped wearing the classic stripe T-shirt but the „it“ girl Alex Chung knows how to wear it the best – I’ve seen various photos of her wearing it with different outfits. I like this one also because of her flashy nail polish.

I really like the idea of a bright colour combined with a marinière, like red shoes or a red coat with maybe a touch of leopard which also adds a French note.

However, I also like to wear it with kaki Parka and I absolutely adore this one from Zadig Et Voltaire.
So whether you are off on holiday, hitting the shops or having drinks with the girls – you can style your marinière for any occasion. It really is a wardrobe must!
I wish you all a wonderful weekend!
