High Five for Friday

 

It’s Friday again! Woop Woop ;o)

The week flew by and with just two days to go to work, it was kind of relaxing and we had lots of couple time this week.

So this week, and absolute High Five Worth was my lovely Birthday Party with my friends (sadly we took no photos, shame on me!) and the generous presents I got. I’m sure to be surfing and shopping at Amazon any time soon as I got vouchers to realize some wishes.

But my Highlight Present was the one my husband gave to me. Girls, I was so thrilled. Okay, I was for sure giving him some broad hints (and had them on my Pinterest wishlist for quite some time) that I would really really like to own a Michael Kors watch but honestly they are so expensive that I didn’t expect him to buy one. But he did <3.

So this is the beauty!! It’s a bit posh but who cares?

(will do a ‘Live on me- shot’ soon but right now it’s so dark outside… and I don’t feel like shooting)

Last weekend the summer and sun over here in Germany did some extra hours so we got a great idea of what summer could be (when it’s not rainy like usual). We took that opportunity to drive to the coast and catch some sun - it’s only a 30 minute drive approx. On this satellite photo by Google Maps the North Sea looks really ugly brown…suppose it’s low tide in this picture. Anyway the water was too cold for me to dare to swim. Little chicken me…

Just before I wrote this post I took some time to get rid of a huge pile of documents like bills and stuff and cleaned our post rack ready to take new things. It was really packed, I can tell you…so now it’s done and organized again.

As I consider tomorrow as part of this High Five week I’m really looking forward to the traditional German ‘Polternight’ leading up to the wedding on 1st September we are attending this Saturday. This is a party thrown by the bride and groom to be and it should be great fun…I’m sure.

So hope your week went well so far, too. I’m linking up on Lauren’s High Five For Friday linkup party and will check out how the girls week went.

 

Fall colors – keeping my closet up to date

Honestly, I can’t wait for fall to arrive. All the bright and shiny leaves on the trees, falling down eventually. Strolling through the park with my hubs cuddled together in cosy clothes and enjoying a tea afterwards.
Okay I’m drifting .. but you get the picture. Right now for spring and summer I collected a good variety of colors but most of the time I stick to light pastel ones. My favorites are coral and mint colors so far and I will definitely find an appropriate way to work them in for fall, too. Some knit wear, cardigans or thicker leggings will do, I think.
Let me show you a few pieces I picked as my favorites so far. I’m especially keen on the mustardy yellow as I think it will work like a charm with the ombre look and my hopefully soon touch of brown.

Sorry for being MIA and thinking about going ombre this fall

Sorry, I have been missing in action for quite some time but a black hole named work had sucked me in and spat me out in the evenings crushing on the sofa without any energy left.

So now I have a few days off and I am trying to be back for good.

Though summer has arrived the last days I am getting really excited for fall to come. There are a lot new colors to explore and styles to try.

To start off the new season I try to be brave and change my hairstyle a bit. As far as I can think back to when I was around 14 I wore my hair with different shades of blonde highlights…sometimes lighter sometimes darker, just once had a brown intermezzo that was not very satisfying. But now I found a style that I like to give a try. OMBRE.

I picked some photos from Pinterest as an inspiration to show to my stylist. So my appointment is on Saturday to discuss my plans. Oh, I am really excited to change my look! Honestly I am taken wrong so many times because the people often just see the cute and lovely Blondie. I turned 25 last Saturday and it’s time for a change.

Have you tried this coloring technique before? What do you think?

High Five For Friday

Hey lovely, it’s Friday again and I´m happy. We crossed some to dos from our list which feels awesome and have a exciting weekend in reach.

1. Our family grew +1 one yesterday! Not what you are thinking…no pregnancy ahead, honestly. ;o) We´re now proud owners of an IPad 3 in white…okay let’s better put it hubby is but hey in a marriage you have to share everything, right?

2. We are invited to celebrate two birthdays this weekend and are going to meet so many of our lovely friends and co-workers today and Saturday. I cross my fingers for sunny weather especially for today because it’s a garden party and I don’t want to wear rain boots.

3. Wednesday we spend some couple dating time out. Sadly the restaurant was really crowded because of the sunny weather and you had to wait about 45 minutes+ to get your dish served so we skipped our meal and just had a drink.

 

4. My order from Amazon arrived and I got some great books that I’m keen on reading and flipping trough. Especially this one:

5. I placed an order at H&M online and weren't able to log in…kind of forgot my password because my last order was light-years form now. So I got on the phone to speak to the customer service because password reset online didn't work either. And let me tell you what, I talked to a very nice sales agent, placed my order and I get a new password via mail. Best part was that they have special offers for telesales exclusively from previous catalogues for super special prices. Ordered a sleeveless blouse in blue for 3,95€ hope that’s a great pick as I haven´t seen a picture yet. But no risk no fun and you can return it of course, so actually no risk at all ;o). 

As every Friday I’m linking up with Lauren @ From My Grey Desk. Check out the other girls highlights of this past week.
