I'm SICK of this weather....LITERALLY

I am hardly ever complaining about the weather here in Seattle. I grew up in Germany and I am used to crappy weather :-) BUT this weather is HORRIBLE! It has been raining ALL week. sigh. It's annoying, I want summer :-( or at least sunshine?! A=and to top it off, I am STILL sick. Can't get rid of it.
When will I wear these again? My absolute favorite Steve Madden shoes. I bought them before my Puerto Rico Trip in November. If the weather were nice in Seattle I'd wear them every day :-D

LOVE!!!
They are super high, but because of the wedge they're super comfy too :)


they sell them in black too. I was sooo close to buy them in black as well, but I didn't and now I can't find my size anymore :'( 


Sigh....summer???

I also painted my nails. SUPRISE!! :-)
 Sinful Colors - Mint Apple

Accent nails: Essence blue addicted...this color is absolutely stunning!

I hope the weather is better wherever you're at ;-)

Gute Nacht

Nails, Nails, Nails

I have accumulated some manis that I did. Starting with todays, going backwards. Enjoy =)


NEWSPAPER NAILS!
How cool is this??
I saw this on Pinterest a while ago, but I thought it was too difficult to do...until I watched a video on youtube. It is actually very easy! They say to use alcohol, but I don't have any clear alcohol, so I just tried with water and it worked :) What do you think??

NEEDLE MARBLING
This was my first attempt as well. It's kinda cool. No?

Sinful Colors-Cinderella
very cute blue. I topped the thumb and ring finger with China Glaze Lush & Luxe

St. Patricks Day Mani 
 woah I love this!!!!
Sinful Colors- Green Ocean
 This is 2 coats over black.
so pretty!! and for less than 2 bucks, awesome!

Which one do you like best?

I guess I will be doing my nails even more often now that my hubby is not home. He would always say: "You're doing your nails AGAIN????" haha :-) I miss him :-( 

Diego misses his daddy too....

Spring has finally arrived in Seattle! At least for a weekend LOL
I was celebrating with a Passion Tea Lemonade

I also spray painted some bottles. I will use these in our kitchen on the marble table as center pieces :)
I think I did a great job :) 

Well Ladies, I hope you'r not too bored with the pics. 
Sleepless in Seattle,

Weekend recap

Good evening Ladies,

how was everybody's weekend? Mine was quite successful :-)
Spend all weekend in downtown Seattle: eating, drinking, exploring, shopping and just having a good time!
I did not do much shopping, because the men don't do so good when the girls are shopping ;-)
I stopped at H&M and Nordstrom

saw this Top at H&M and I had to have it! $9.99 :)

I needed a new wallet. Nordstrom 

love the color

 and naaaiiil polish!!!!
I wanted some holo glitter!
This is OPI - Save me
(I think it's from the Nicky Minaj collection yikes!!! lol)

of course I had to try it and thanks to Pinterest, I did some sort of ombre NOTD with pastel colors! I really really like IT :) so cute, don't you agree?



I ♥ SEATTLE
my home away from home


our husbands ;)

Pike Place chowder! I love that place!
The salmon chowder is delicious.

Have you seen Post Alley's Gum wall in Seattle? This is right below the market. We showed some friends around and their first reaction is:" ewwwwwwww!!'
It is pretty eww :-D Other than that, Seattle is a very clean city LOL


My friend put our names on the wall...I DID NOT touch it. It was all her LOL
I always wonder how many drunks walk by at night and actually pick up a piece of gum...ewww lol

Numb...

...my whole left side of my mouth is numb. I got some fillings at the dentist and now I can't eat LOL. I've been really down lately, work is going through some MAJOR changes...it kind of scares me. 90% of our "business" is moving to a different state.  So those people who were affected by this change, can stay with the company IF they move to the other state. The difference between these two states is like night and day, west coast-eastcoast, north-south. If they don't move then they better find a new job. Some positions are still staying in Seattle and I was assured that mine will still be here in Seattle. It better! Geez I just got promoted not too long ago. I am def not moving LOL So this is what I've been bumming about. This year just didn't start right....enough talk. Posting 2 outfits that I wore this week, plus NAILS :)

 Pants: Tally Weijl

My wonderful family in Germany will be sending me a package soon. I wrote a looooong list for my sister, most of the the stuff is from DM (fellow german blogger know exactly what store that is :-D) Nail polish, Make up, Body lotions, facial masks, stuff that you just can't get here. I have been STALKING other blogs from Germany to find out what to add to my list :) I got till Saturday! I hope that saturday I will be able to go to the mall, feels like I have not been in forever, plus I have a $50.00 gift card for Sephora! HELLO! :)

4 days till weekend...

I know, it's only Monday. But the past weeks have been dragging. Not sure why, but I have such a hard time getting out of bed in the morning. Hm maybe because I have to get up at 5.30. Either way, weekend cannot come fast enough! Don't you agree??
My OOTD:

Top:-Primark
Pants: H&M
 Ring: H&M
 these pants are my favorite! Scored them at H&M on black friday, I bought 2 pairs :-D
 love this color!
  Nails: Pure Ice-Strapless

Here are my nails from last week:
Pure Ice - Superstar (white)
Pure Ice -Don't you wish (Glitter)
Pure Ice- Strapless (Blue)

 This was the first time I painted my nails white....

We took Diego to a Park on the beach on the weekend. Surprisingly it was not raining on Saturday, so here in Seattle we have to take opportunity of each rain free day :) You never know how long it lasts ;)
Little man had a blast. He is so cute :) Too cute for word....


Buenas Noches, 
Carla♥
