Countdown to Christmas

                       

I can't believe there are only six days left until Christmas Eve! Even though I already did all my holiday shopping and sent out my christmas cards, the holiday time still calls for more baking and christmas movies! I've seen Christmas With The Kranks (one of my favourites), Christmas Vacation, The Princess Switch (a new Netflix film with Vanessa Hudgens), and Beauty And The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, the latter is an old favourite of mine. I would listen to it on CD as a kid over and over again and somehow I lost it (or I'm just unable to find it) but when I came across the DVD at a media store I just had to have it! The films that are on my watchlist this season are Home Alone and The Nutcracker And The Four Realms, which is currently in theatres.

My christmas tree is up and fully decorated, I even decorated a gingerbread house with my sister and our friend and the only things left to do are wrapping most of my presents and visiting Christmas Markets.

Do you have your christmas tree and presents already? And what is your favourite film to put you in the christmas mood?

Let me know.

Fall Activities: Apple Picking

 

 

 

I'm not exactly sure what happened to the sky in the pictures, it was a sunny afternoon!

Cardigan: The Gap

Top: Abercrombie&Fitch

Jeans: LTB Jeans

Shoes: Converse

Bag: Karl Lagerfeld

Jewelry: vintage, Tiffany&Co

One of my favourite things in the fall-time is that we usually drive to Altes Land to take a walk and eat apple pie. A few years ago we stumbled upon Harms Hof, the oldest maintained farmyard in that region. It dates back to the 1500's and is still used today as a café and an event location. Behind the charming property is a river and a dike and the houses around that area sell homemade jams (and we got a raspberry-mango one :)). It is less crowded and touristy than the apple picking farms around (which may be because of their weird opening hours) and we managed to get a nice table next to the river to try their baked goods. All in all it was a wonderful way to cherish the golden October.

Shine Bright - Elbphilharmonie

I hope you all had a fresh first week and didn't reject your New Year's resolutions in the first few days. ;)

As usual, we spent January 1st celebrating my granddads birthday. This year our family met at Carl's, a French restaurant located next to the Elbphilharmonie. It was quite windy and cloudy, as you would expect in Hamburg, but we had wonderful seats so that we could people-watch and observe the high tide under us. 

Outfit wise, I settled for dark tones and a bit of glitter, mostly because my nails were still painted in that colour scheme, haha. The burgundy blouse is one of my favourite holiday staples that I've been wearing for years and is easy to dress up and down.

Top: H&M

Cardigan: Esprit

Trousers: Monki

Chelsea Boots

Bag: Karl Lagerfeld

Necklace: Tiffany&Co.

Bracelet: Kate Spade

Nails: Ciaté in Rom Com Rouge

                                    

 

To finish it off, I accessorized with my fairly new Karl Lagerfeld Minaudière, my silver jewelry, and a velvet hair bow.
