Colourful fall!

Hey folks,

I really like fall! Not only because there's my birthday in September. ;) I love the warm light on sunny fall days, the colourful leaves on the trees and Sunday movie afternoons, when the weather is cold and grey outside. And I do love autumn clothes! Coats, scarves, hats, boots...you name it! 

Here some pics of one of my current favourite fall outfits - we took them on a nice little walk in the autumn sun.

STAPLE IT TOGETHER...

Good evening folks,

today i made one of my favorite dishes: oven roasted vegetables.
You can make it with any vegetable and vary them from season to season. I’ve tried baking various different veggies this way and so far – they’ve all turned out fab.

Ingredients

• 1 eggplant
• 1 beet
• 2 carrots
• 1-2 zucchinis
• 1/2 pumpkin (i prefer hokkaido, because you don't have to peel it)
• 1 parsnip
• 4 cloves of garlic
• a couple of green beans
• 7 cocktail tomatoes
• 6 potatoes 
• olive oil
• fleur de sal
• rosemary, chilli, provencal herbs

I didn't put nuts into my oven roasted veggies, but they just fit nicely into that empty corner of the picture ;-))

Directions

1. Cook the potatoes and the green beans and preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
2. Peel the parsnip and the beet and cut all the veggies into slices, peel the garlic-cloves and half them.
3. Put some olive oil into a baking dish and pile the vegetables into it, starting with the eggplant- and parsnip-slices. Salt them, springle oil over it and add the chilli and provencal herbs. Then go on with the next layer.

4. Put the zucchini- and carrot-slices and the pre-cooked green beans into the baking dish, springle it with olive oil and spread salt & herbs over it.

5. Finally layer the pumpkin- and beet-slices over the veggies and season it with salt, chilli and provencal herbs. Sprinkle oil over it and add the cocktail tomatoes.

6. Put the baking dish and the oven and roast your veggies for about 30 min. Meanwhile bake the potatoes in a pan with some olive oil, butter and fresh rosemary. Don't forget to salt them well ;)

And this is how your oven roasted veggies will look in the end:

A healthy and extremly yummy fall-dish. Bon appétit!

Pimp up your paperback

Hi folks,

when I went to Portugal last summer I found this wonderful present edition of F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Beautiful and Damned" with gilt edge pages, a nice book cover and a bookmark. Since then I've been thinking about how I could imitate this at home. Actually I found a quite easy solution, which I want to share with you today. :)

What you'll need: 

• paperback 
• gold watercolour
• bristle brush
• gift/creative paper (make sure the paper is not too thin)
• pencil
• cutter
• glue (for the bookmark)

How it works:  

Use your bristle brush with your gold watercolour and start colouring the book pages. It's important to press the pages together very hard, otherwise the watercolour may also leak into the book. Colour along the pages and make sure you don't use too much water with your colour in order to prevent the pages from sticking together. 

When all the pages have dried, draw the outlines of your book onto the back side of your paper. You'll need 3 to 5 cm (depending on the size of the book) on every long side to fold into the book, so don't forget to include those in your drawing as well. Then cut out your new book cover. :)
Fold in your extra cm on every side and wrap it around your book.

To finish your book project create a nice label with the book title and put it on your book.
If you want you can also make a fitting bookmark. For this I simply used a price tag and glued some more of the gift paper around it.

Done! :)

HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!

Hi folks,

I love to decorate my home when it comes to fall with pumpkins, candles, chestnuts and a little halloween-ish stuff.

Last weekend i went to a flea market and got hold of these beauties: two boho-chic and a little navajo-style cushions. They fit perfectly to my old leather sofa.

I hope you enjoy this little glance into my living room. Happy fall y'all!

Cozy fall outfit

Hi folks,

this morning i felt a little cold-ish and just wanted to put on a very warm and cozy outfit.
I love wide knit jumpers as they are both cozy and chic.

During lunchbreak Tulip and me had a little walk in the autumn sun and took a few pics. Enjoy :)
