Christmas Home Accents for Winter

It’s starting to get a bit chilly this time of year, reminding us all that the winter season is nearly upon us. Have you started getting your home ready for the christmas yet? 
A few accent pieces are all you really need to get the look right. Some decorative throw pillows, votive candle holders, lanterns, and wreath will all go a long way if you keep the theme and color palette concise. Not to mention a cozy cashmere throw to tie it all together. I was really inspired by the silvers and blues in some of the items I found on SHOP.COM so I stuck to those hues on my inspiration board to pull it all together. The key is to keep it simple and incorporate festive items into your existing home style. Add some sequins and rhinestones sparingly and you’ll have yourself a sparkling winter theme.

Color Combinations for Winter


When it comes to fashion, you can expect the colder days of fall and winter to be laden with dark colors and though all these look chic and sophisticated, it can get a little boring and even gloomy at times. If you’re like me who can’t stand wearing just dark colors all day every day, I’m sure you’re missing the fun and fabulous hues of spring and summer and you’re dying to throw in something really colorful into your look so we’re here with a number of gorgeous color combinations for cold days that’ll add some cheer into your usual everyday fall and winter outfits.
  • GRAY AND YELLOW – gray is a nice fall and winter color when you don’t want to go full on dark with black but still want something a little more muted but sometime this color gets passed off as a lonely color so adding something bright and cheery to it is important if you don’t want to end up with a sad look and what’s a happier color than yellow? Gray and yellow together is a color combo you should definitely not miss trying.




NAVY BLUE AND ORANGE – navy is a wonderful alternative to black if you don’t want to go too dark but without a fun and bright color, it can look drab. Navy blue and orange makes a chic and juicy outfit that’s perfect for everyday. Orange, when paired with blue, is the perfect kind of bright color that won’t be too ‘in-your-face’. What’s even better is that you don’t need to wear the brightest shade of orange with navy blue. Even a darker shade like tangerine would look perfect.

BLACK AND HOT PINK – an all black outfit is flattering but it can be too flat. An all pink outfit is really girly and cute but it might leave you looking like a 6-year-old who went crazy at Forever 21. The combination of both black and hot pink together in one outfit, though, is really chic and sophisticated. If you’re looking for a more grown up and less overwhelming way to wear pink, pairing it with a dark neutral color like black is definitely the best way to go.

BLACK AND WHITE – on the top of our list is the color combination black and white because what could be more sophisticated than these two colors together in one outfit, right? Black and white, though super simple and basic, is one of the most versatile color combos you can wear. It’s great for glitzy and dressy looks but it looks superb with casual and street style outfits as well. If you’re looking for a simple but edgy look, go for black and white.

Mit Humor durch den Winter

Schon in der Kindheit haben uns die Looney Tunes erfreut.

Klappt immer noch - wenn sie als stylishe Mode-Pullis in Erscheinung treten ...





Welcher Looney Tune wären wir gerne ?

Tweety ?
Weil wir auch als Erwachsene auf Schaukeln definitiv nicht verzichten wollen ?

Bugs Bunny?
Weil wir mit einer Möhre in der Hand einfach alles erklären können ?

Lasst mich wissen welcher Eurer Looney Tune wäre!! xo

Männerstyling: Der Klassiker - Blazermantel

Der absolute Männer Klassiker ist nach wie vor der Blazermantel!

Die neue Version ist immer die beste - im angesagten schmalen Schnitt, der Saum endet Mitte Oberschenkel. 24/7 einsatzbereit , im Job, Im Club -  einfach ein Allrounder !!




Wie pflegt man die Blazermäntel am Besten ?

Am sichersten ist es, den Wollmantel in die Reinigung zu geben. Beim Symbol 2Handwäsche" gilt: Feinwaschmittel waschen, in kaltem Wasser ausspülen, in ein Handtuch wickeln. Danach auf dem Handtuch auslegen, glätten, in Form bringen und auf einem Bügel trocknen lassen ?

Alles Klaro Männer?

Duftnoten - so verschenkt man ein neues Parfum

Weihnachten bedeute auch seine Lieben mit kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten zu bedenken - wie ein Parfum.

Aber wie verschenke ich ein Parfum?

Man sollte sich gut informieren, wie z.B. den persönlichen Stil und Charakter des Beschenkten kennen.

Wenn man den Beschenkten überhaupt nicht kennt, dann ist es immer idealer ein leichtes Eau de Cologne zu wählen, denn diese duften immer leicht und unaufdringlich.

Sie haben komplett daneben gegriffen? In der Regel lassen sich alle Geschenke innerhalb von 30 Tagen umtauschen - kann passieren, der Wille zählt!

Viel Glück beim Aussuchen und hier meine 2 Lieblingsdüfte für den Winter:




Was sind Eure Lieblingsdüfte ?

How To Rock a White Suit


This winter, give dark colors a break and go for lighter hues instead. One of the best ways to go light this season is to wear your winter whites. Gone are the days when a head to toe white outfit was reserved for Labor Day. Today, wearing a monochromatic white outfit is considered chic and stylish, Labor Day or not. 
  • OVERSIZED COAT – this chic white skirt suit comes with an oversized coat with an asymmetrical finish. It’s perfect for spicing up your usual office look or even as an alternative to dresses for dressy events like wedding this season.
  • CLEAN CLASSIC – not too fond of straying away from the traditional? That’s okay. Sticking to classics is great if you’re not up to mixing and matching styles and what not on certain days and if you don’t know how to go about wearing a white suit this winter, just stick to the clean, basic but chic silhouette. Though quite simple, this is sure to turn heads.

  • DEEP NECKLINE SUIT – now, if you don’t plan on wearing your suit to the workplace and you just want to posh up your street style look, go for a sexy white suit with a deep neckline. Go as deep as you can confidently rock and make sure that you have a jacket on hand as well to cover you up when needed.
