 How was your Christmas ? Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Can you believe it's over already ? Wow, this Christmas season went by so fast! 

My Chistmas has been one of the best ever. I spent the last few days with my beloved family and relatives from far and wide, simply wonderful. 

My boyfriend, the love of my life, surprised me with stunningly beautiful presents. One of the presents was the most romantic and cutest Christmas gift ever, a personalized ring from Tiffany&Co packed in five boxes each containing a love note . <3

My parents, sister and grannies spoiled me with amazing gifts including pieces from my wishlist and more light blue boxes. (I'm going to show you these presents soon ;)) 

I chose this outfit for a more casual dinner the day before Christmas Eve, these star-pants are my favourites at the moment. Hope you like it. ☆

☆ SPECIAL POST - GIFT WRAPPING FOR CHRISTMAS ☆

☆ Happy 4th Sunday of Advent ! ☆

It has become a traditon for myself to wrap all the presents for my beloved ones on the day before christmas. I love wrapping presents and to personalize them with selfmade name tags and gift cards. 

This year I decided to wrap all my presents in very festive colors and personalize them with selfmade name tags.  

Hope you like it ;) 

You can easily make your own personalized name tags - all you need: a golden thick pen, white card board and paper scissors ;)

Oh the gifts are so delightful !

 Christmas gift shopping can be fun and normally I do all the gift shopping at the beginning of Advent, but due to my exams I have been forced to do all the shopping this week. 

 I found some very delightful gifts for my beloved ones. Shopping these presents was fun and giving them is going to be even more fun.

On Wednesday I decided to wear a very comfy outfit for my shopping spree - leather pants and feather vest combined with my Nike dual fusion sneakers. 

(Due to the bad weather outside, we decided to take the photos inside after my shopping spree;))

Have you bought all your gifts yet? 

PS: My special post on the fourth Sunday in Advent is going to be about gift-wrapping with some nice ideas to personalize your presents :)

Feelin' Foxy

I chose this outfit on a snowy day in Vienna last week. Animal motifs on sweaters are part of the collections of many designers and many display a whimsical and wearable tribute to this trend with  cute foxes. 

I love my loose-fit foxy wool sweater, which always adds a playfull touch to any outfit.

2nd ADVENT SUNDAY - SPECIAL HOLIDAY COOKIES

DEAR LOVELY READERS , 

as promised this is my 2nd Advent - Sunday special post :)

I decided to do a special christmas cookies post. 

As you might have noticed already, being fit and healthy, as well as a healthy diet are very important to me. Last week when my craving for holiday cookies came up, I decided to do a makeover on my favourite cookies. 

THE CHALLENGE: Keep each cookie's yummy while lowering fat, sugar and calories! 

THE RESULT: sweet success :)

 200g dark chocolate ( I used Lindt 85%)

50g fat reduced butter

6 tbsp. rum  

100g coconutflakes 

50g grounded almonds 

1-2 knif tips stevia powder

 1. Place the chocolate in a double boiler and melt until smooth.

2. Batter the butter and add the stevia.

3. Stir the chocolate, 50g coconutflakes and almonds into the butter-stevia mixure and mix until evenly distributed. Blend in the rum and stir again.

4. Cover and refrigerate until firm for about 1 hour. 

5. Roll the chilled chocolate mixture into bite-sized balls. Roll the balls in the other part of the coconutflake. 

6. Enjoy your selfmade yummy Rum Balls :)

Special White Chocolate Rum Balls :

I used the same ingredients as for the normal rum balls, but replaced the coconutflakes with white chocolateflakes. 

175g/ 5 large eggwhites

50g grounded almonds and 50g coconutflakes

couple of drops vanilla extract

1 sache bourbon vanilla sugar

pinch of salt

1-2 knife-tips Stevia-sweet 90% powder dissolved in 1 table spoons hot water

lemon zest of 1 whole lemon mixed with 1 tsp. of sugar

1.Whip the egg whites to a stiff peak with electric mixer.

2.Dissolve the stevia-sweet powder in a table spoon of hot water, add any flavouring such as vanilla, and lemon zest and add to the egg whites. Mix well and then combine the egg whites with the coconutflakes and the ground almonds, best done  manually to keep the air in the egg whites.

3.Pre heat oven to 180 degree celsius. Have your baking tray with baking paper ready.

4.Place the egg white batter mix into a decorating bag without the star shaped tip, or use a freezer bag and cut a corner off – it helps make nice and evenly round little macaroons.

5.Squirt little hubs spaced out onto the lined tray and put it in the pre heated oven.

6.Bake for 5 minutes, check the colour, it might be necessary to turn the baking tray around to get an even golden colour, bake for a further 5 min until macaroons are light golden brown.

Take golden macaroons out and cool completely – this goes really quickly when they are on a cooling rack.

Now they are ready to eat and make sure you share them, as hey are really yummy and fluffy ;)

COMFY WEEKEND

 Comfy weekend-outfits are simply the best on a cold winter-sunday :)

I haven't noticed before, that turtleneck pullovers are really functional to fight the Viennese windstorms and prevent a total hair mess :)  

My sister and I explored a lovely restaurant and cafe in our hood during our stroll and truly fell in love with it. I can highly recommend the Cafe HIMMELBLAU, they serve the yummiest homemade cheesecake in town ;)

PATTERNED TROUSERS

 Patterned trousers definitely are a must-have piece since they strided down the S/S'12 catwalks of many favourite designers. Lately I have been totally smitten by these pants with little plus signs.
On Saturday I decided to wear them for a dinner with my sister and friends. I combined them with new special booties, simple black top and coat, and a shiny silver scarf. Since I decided to wear a ballerina bun, I kept my Makeup very simple - only red lipstick and mascara.
