shopping trip

Last week my hubby and I made a road trip! We went 4 hours by car to visit Europe´s biggest shopping center CentrO. It has more than 200 shops! My poor poor husband! ;) Actually, it was his idea to go on a trip there and I proposed that we could go to see Köln as well, as it´s not far away from there.


In Oberhausen we spent the whole day shopping in CentrO and went to a Mexican restaurant in the evening on the so called promenade next to the center. Thereafter we had a small 'Kölsch' beer in the Brauhaus which is in the middle of the picture above. It was all very nice! The shops in the CentrO are all very good so you have a big range to choose ;) and I especially enjoyed seeing shops that we don´t have at home.
The next morning we were driving to Köln and walked into the city center via the left side of the 'Hohenzollernbrücke' where thousands of couples hung locks with their names on it. So did we :) Then we climbed to the top of the 'Kölner Dom' which was very exhausting!!! Around 500 stairs... but we got rewarded with a nice view over the city and the river Rhein. After even more shopping in the 'Schildergasse' we went to an Italian restaurant and had delicious dinner :)
On the last day we visited the chocolate museum which was also very nice and interesting and hit the road afterwards ;)



This is everything I bought in CentrO.. The tea is strawberry-kiwi flavoured and is really yummy :) And I am totally in love with the color coral at the moment and therefore was so happy when I found the arm cuff at H&M beauty. The ballerinas in light gold are by Tamaris and are actually a re-purchase as I had to renew my old ones! 

The white blouse from zara is very leisure style with a pocket on one side and has tiny little golden buttons which I think is so cute! Sorry, it´s crinkled a lot due to the travelling.


Then I got this olive green summer light cardigan and a top with kind of a laced border in taupe at pieces. I know this is a quite dark matching and would rather have bought the top in white for spring/summer. But they didn´t have a proper one left in my size :(


These super slim fit jeans from Mango are sooo comfy! They have it in different colors and I can only recommend them!!


When it comes to beauty items I visited my good old friend Douglas ;) and also bought something at ICI Paris XL
The I love... raspberry and blackberry bubble bath smells so yummy and can also be used as shower gel also.


Honestly, I have tried BB creams on my skin for a lighter coverage, but my skin reacted and I had to discontinue with it. I considered Estée Lauder products will probably suit my skin best, as it has always been in the past. So here I am again! For now I re-purchased the Double Wear Light Makeup intensity 02 and the Artist´s Brow Pencil Double Groomer in 03 black brown. It comes with a small brush on one side which I think is very practical and handy! :) I also got a lipstick the color is called secret kiss and is somehow a translucent rose shimmering tone. Perfect for my bright lips and nude make up looks!! :)



When looking for the Estée Lauder eye creme I discovered this anti-aging skin care set. It contains a cleanser for normal/mixed skin, the night repair serum, the revitalising supreme face creme and of course the rich eye cream. Again it was a special offer!! Right time, right place! ;)


Last but not least I finally found my beloved Pretty Ballerinas I was searching for! I totally love this color and these shoes with the little bow look so cute! I am also happy they match my new armcuff perfectly! :)




Dear Spring... I am now ready when you are! ;)

healty food

Just wanted to let you know that I am using my instagram account at the moment for posting my meals. I want to eat in a more healthy way.. I was inspired to post pictures of my meals by bubblegarm.
So if you are interested my username on instagram is saniw. The main part of the meals are all cooked with light products and lots of vegetables. I think it´s quite interesting to see what you´ve eaten while on a diet. Momentarily I am following a certain program and I have commited to myself to loose 4kg weight in 7 weeks! Hopefully I will get that managed!! :)

Today is the first day that I can wear my ballerinas.. yay! Spring, I am ready when you are.. :)

rediscovered evergreen

Sometimes there are phases when I put on more make up and then there are also phases when I like to keep it a little bit low. For example wearing only one color over my eye lid, quickly adding mascara, blush, lips and ready...! And this came how I totally forgot about a wonderful product that I now rediscovered when re-arranging my make up items! It is the Estée Lauder eye shadow quad in n02 amber honey.




I totally love nude tones and I think this pallet is of very good quality! If I apply it in the morning time without a primer it would last until the evening and still look the same. This product is amazing! And I love it! Did I say that already!? :) Okay, the quad consists of 2 shiny and two matt tones. The lightest shade is slightly shimmering and in my opinion it´s the perfect color for under the eyebrow, because it´s the absolute right tone, not too light and not too shiny. Depending if I want more shimmer or not next, I use the shiny tone in the upper right corner or the matt taupe tone from the left. Finishing with the dark brown tone of which I need only a tiny amount. You can work so good with this product as it blends very well and easily. You have always enough color but it´s never too much!

What are your favourite eye colors for a decent eye make up? I´ll be happy to be hearing from you!

Easter ootd

I hope you all enjoyed your Easter weekend so far! Today I would like to show you my outfit of the day that I wore on our Easter family meet up.




These are the two new items from shopping saturday, isn´t the t-shirt so cute??! :) I combined it with my new blazer from zara and chino trousers from vero moda (similar here). As it is still really cold outside I am wearing cognac-colored boots from Halle Berry for Deichmann and a matching belt from Liebeskind (similar here). I am also wearing my perl earrings and necklace from Christ. Hair to a simple bun :)

How do you like this matching?? Have a relaxing day! :)
