Christmas is: Home made desert
With Christmas there are many possibillities to celebrate at restaurants but how good is home made food!
I especially agree on this when it comes to desert.
This year I made tiramisu and pear-cherry crumble.
Both are easy to make, but since the crumble was something different I present you the recipe:
- Sliced up 3 pears and add 100 grams of cherries
- Mix in 50 grams of cane sugar
- Divide the mixture over 6 small baking pans
- Make a dough out of 200 grams of cane sugar, 200 grams of butter and 200 grams of plain flour
- Add to the top and bake for 45 minutes at 190 degrees
Super easy but so delicious, enjoy!

Christmas is: wrapping presents extra special
One of the most fun things of Christmas is wrapping the presents you bought for others. Luckely I had some practice before!
For instance you can use labels (the oldskool brown ones of handmade), ribbon, string, masking tape and spice up the brown paper with fun stamps.
Writing a fun line on the labels usually does the trick too, let your guests be curious: who's getting that pretty present?
And last but not least, Christmas preperations are so much fun.
Happy holidays!

Cake stand
It happens more than once in a while. You are looking for that one
thing: the perfect jeans, those exact shoes you had seen online,
furniture that's all in the same color range..
It is exactly then that you can do whatever you want, try so hard but you won't find it.
Don't worry, you really are not the only one.
For the last couple of weeks I have been looking for new cake stands. I didn't even have one exact idea in my head but still, I could hardly find any!
And the rare ones I did find where only big enough for one cupcake or pretty but after a closer look crooked. Frustrating right?
So sometimes a girl's gotta do, what a girl's gotta do. I made one myself!
I
bought a gorgeous plate and vase at the second hand store, gave then a
good scrub and with a little imagination they became one piece.
Since the outcome is so fabulous, I don't intent to quit anytime soon.
Bring in the cake, 'cause we are ready for it!

Classic beauty
Sophia Loren, Rita Heyworth, Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, Marilyn Monroe... the definition of classic beauty.
Back in the days looking beautiful was quite different then it is now. It was all curves, winged eyeliner and lipstick. How great was that?
For one I embrace the vintage look with both arms, the classic way or with a slight twist. Get the look!
Hair
No curling, no straightening needed. Keep it natural. If you have natural curls the short curly bob like Marilyn is very cute or the 'Hollywood curl' like Rita Hayworth. Rather a style with straight hair? What about a classic Audrey Hepburn updo with short bangs or one of my personal favorites, the beehive. So gorgeous on Brigitte Bardot!
Make-up
Start with a great black mascara and (winged) eyeliner and top it off with a pop of color. Some red or pink lipstick is amazing but you can also show off with red nailpolish like Marilyn.
Fashion
The LBD is classic for a reason, add a little glitter or some pearls and rock the 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' look.
Already went all overboard on the hair and make-up? As you can see all of these women look gorgeous as well with a simple black turtle neck or fun flower print jeans.
And wait. Is Brigitte Bardot wearing a beanie there? With colder times at our door that fashion item is very much welcome.
Apart from that high waisted shorts and skirts are classic, cute and actually back in fashion again!
Accessories
Pearls, sprakly earrings, a little bit of leopard print and retro sunglasses. They are all so much fun but as you can see you can even look beautiful without too much fuss, keep it simple and draw the attention to one part of the look. Simplicity!
These ladies are not just classic beauties because the time of their fame makes it classic, they are because despite of any imperfections they were gorgeous and everyone thought they were. In my opinion, that state of mind could never hurt. I say: let's get that going again. Everyone is different and no one is perfect, exactly that's what makes beauty.
Inspired? Maybe this may be a fun new project for your Christmas of New Years look. Have fun!
