Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Merry Christmas 2015

Merry Christmas to all the  lovely ladies that read my blog.

I wish you great holidays with your families and a happy New Year!

Merry Nails

These are my "merry nails" I had over the last few days. The second picture is what I wore to our church's Christmas party Sunday. They were  cheap stick on nails and did not hold very long. And I did have to cut them though so I could play piano.

The last picture is what I wore for the Christmas holidays....I used some colorful ikea tape for my ring finger and painted the others matching the red.

The first picture is what I am wearing today. The tape came up so I put on some gold glitter.

Are you wearing some "merry nails" for the holidays?

Christmas Graphic Tee

The challenge actually read "Graphic Sweater" but I don't own one....so I wore this T-shirt I got myself in Florida 4 years ago. I am not a huge fan of graphic sweaters...there are some cute ones but I don't have to own one.

Excuse the stains on the T-shirt. Today was one of those "busy around the house" kind of days.... cleaning up... washing, folding & putting away clothes... scrubbing the bathroom... making Christmas pillows... printing our Christmas cards...cooking breakfast lunch & dinner....and wrapping the last gifts for tomorrow. ...welcome to my life. ☺

So tell me....do you own/ like graphic sweaters?

Accents of Fur

I know I have not been faithful to post my outfit the last few days again...but today (on my first day of school break) I am back! 

Today I am doing the Challenge "Accents of fur (or leather)". This was not easy for me since I have nothing with fur or leather. I unbuttoned this fur off of my coat....yep. Turned out pretty cool, didn't it? I did feel a little to much like Mrs. Clause....but it definitly was Christmasy! 

Do you wear fur or leather?

PS: And while I was slacking here I have been posting on my personal blog "The Blue Birdhouse"....check it out!

A Little Bit of Sparkle

Yesterday's challenge was "Sparkles". Even though I LOVE sparkles and glitter I don't really own anything sparkly....I am keeping my eye open for a gold sparkle top.

I didn't get to wear this fun outfit for long though. In the morning I had to wear black & white for our Christmas program at the retirement home and then before heading to church I slipped with my fork and had food all over my clothes....ahem.

But I think this is a fun Christamssy outfit too.

What do you think?

Lots of Layering Love

Layering....I do it every day....summer & winter. I love the feel and the look of layers. Well first of all in Germany the weather can change pretty drastically and it's better to become prepared but I also love layering different colors and making them go together. 

Since just about every outfit on this blog is layered I decided to do a Christmas combination. Red and green is VERY christmasy and I don't think would be fitting any other time of the year. Red & green are my favorite Christmas colors....and gold of course.  The gold necklace made this rather comfy/casual outfit a little more dressy.....and my basic color is brown. So I wore my simple brown skirt.

So what is your favorite Christmas color(s)?

Shades of Red & Gold

Sundays challenge actually read "Shades of Red and Silver" but silver is not my metal....and I only own gold things. So I just changed it to red & gold. ☺ 

I love wearing dresses for church and in order to create that look I wore a matching red shirt and a white sweater one, against the cold and two to hide the two piece look. I really like how this christmasy outfit turned out.

Tell me: what metal do you look better in?

Christmas Sunday

And some other pictures from my day:

I wore this Christmas inspired clothes yesterday at church. We had our annual Christmas Party. I had gotten this dress a few weeks ago and was hoping to wear it....the problem was it has short sleeved and I didn't have anything to wear on it. My grandma then gave me this fun red  sweater.....and it just was perfect.

I spray painted some black shoes gold and added gold accents everywhere in my outfit.

Red and gold....just can't get away from that. ☺

Vintage Christmas

I wore this outfit last Sunday. Again, a nice tartan skirt....prefect for Christmas

I am sorry for the bad picture quality. I am still getting to know my new camera (early Christmas gift) and the colors in the tartan skirt did not come out really nice....not just the colors..... Anyway, the colors are actually very bright.....green, blue, red and white. 

I paired it with a white shirt I redid tying in the red color in the skirt with my red cami & belt. I chose simple pearl and gold jewelery to accent my outfit.

What kind of style will you be wearing on Christmas.....normal, modern or vintage?

Christmas Jewelry

I don't own any Christmas jewelry except one set of snowmen earrings....and one of those are broken. But I really do love Christmas: the decorations, the colors and the festive jewelry! So I went on etsy and sent scouting for some pretty Christmas jewelry. I found some fun ones with great pops of color. I found some vintage looking winter necklaces and a few classy looking accessories. 

If you click the picture you can go to the individual shops.

Which ones do you like best?
