work clothes


these cardigans are the cutest and most comfortable cardigans ever!


i love this outfit - i think i will copy this look for work today.




best winter 09 cardigan!


this trouser is a flawless fit! i was hesitant when i bought them, and now i don't want to take them off! i bought them a size bigger so that they would have more of a relaxed fit, and then i belt it below the belt loops to dress it down.


i absolutely LOVE these toothpick cords! they are so comfortable. i have them in black, brown and grey.

original g



i love our dog. esau is about seven years old. and he is a true survivor.
this is why:
he was lost in the mountains for a week
he was shot the night before our wedding (and enjoyed wedding cake the day after)
he has been clawed by raccoons
and bears have bitten him various times

i love the grey, black and white with a little bit of color accents here and there. beautiful

advent kalender

i got really excited about making an advent kalender to use as christmas decorations as well as get a little treat every day until christmas day.

i had 8 oz coffee cups left over from our wedding which we dont use, so what better way to recycle by making them pretty.



i opened one cup to use as a guideline and cut up some anthropologie catalogs. i love useing them for any type of project. they have pretty colors, textures and pictures.




these stickers are also left overs from our wedding. i numbered them 1-24 since christmas is celebrated on the 24th in germany. i like having the nostalgia of my childhood as i am starting my own family.





our apartment is too small for a real tree this year, so i decorated our fake topiaries that lend a little green to our apartment. i did not want to nail the kalender to the wall to avoid any blemished, so i strung them inbetween the topiaries. i punched holes in the cups and connected them with ribbon.

i would have loved to buy little gifts for the kalender, but the 8 oz cups are rather small, and i thought of this way too late. so lindt chocolates will do for this year.

amazing

this is a reminder to not let go of scraps, and things that i think i wont ever use again.
