My favorite

Veröffentlicht am von

As I already promised last week, today´s post is about Christmas decoration.

Having kids made all holidays more important to us. The biggest of them is of course Christmas. As significant in Germany as in Sweden and with lots of similar traditions – Christmas is our favorite holiday of the year.

For me, decorating the house and making everything a little bit more special is a ‘must’ in this season and I could spend lots of money on that. Luckily my husband also really loves this time of the year and never thinks that I´m doing too much.

Today I would like to introduce you to one of my absolute favorite brands when it comes to Christmas decoration: Danish brand Walther&Co. They basically produce only Christmas decorations, which is not very common on the interior scene.

I love the atmosphere that their decorations bring. My favorite colors during this season are mainly the same ones like for the rest of the year: white, black, grey, silver and a little hint of more vivid colors here and there. Maybe during this season it will be red?;-)

We already started decorating our place last weekend since the next two weeks are going to be very busy for us. However, I still try to add something new every day.

I hope you are all doing well and starting to get into the Christmas spirit. All I miss is snow!

Have a great week everyone!

Leather VS Fur – Winter 2012/2013 Trends

Veröffentlicht am von

Winter is coming and it’s getting colder, but with some creative ideas you can keep it warm and be stylish this season!

I have seen it on the runway as well as in the high street shops; leather and fur are the essentials for our winter wardrobe. They might seem dominant but we can make it look classy. Easy to wear, they will definitely keep you cosy and up to date.

On the Runway a full leather outfit at the Hermes, Yves Saint Laurent and Givenchy fashion shows.

Although it creates an amazing silhouette, I prefer just a touch of leather much more. It still gives the similar effect of a bold look, but in a gentle way.

Calvin Klein and Celine are my choices!

Colored leather is also big this season. I recommend “Comptoir des Cotonniers” a French brand with some nice and affordable pieces. Just like the golden skirt, presented in a discreet and classy way.

Fur is another winter „must have item“. A lot of fashion designers presented them in a funky way.

Have a look at the Juicy Couture, Jean Paul Gaultier and Tom Ford ideas.

When it comes to everyday style, I tend to use fur as an accessory. A fur collar for example dresses your neck in a very sophisticated way.

You can find plenty of these for affordable prices on the high street. Topshop offers a range of colors in various shades.

Of course you don’t have to choose between leather and fur; you can combine these two and create a great up to date outfit! Look what Kate Moss came up with!!! I love it!

I can’t wait to share some more fashion news with you next week. Until then, have a fabulous weekend!

Au revoir!
