the holidays came early this year, "it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" - as the song said. It's only 4 weeks until Christmas, so I guess I better start my Christmas shopping next week and make arrangements with the family for dinners, lunches, etc. We went to a late sunday brunch to T&G Italiano, then walked around downtown at one of the Christmas markets, beside the church we got married in :-)

Thanksgiving inspired flower arrangement for the living room - I love the orange color:

The day before the weekend...

Friday - I always love fridays, it's almost the weekend, so it's time to do fun things:

Healthy breakfast:

Oat weetabix & bananas

Later I went to check out the new Versace Collection for H&M and got a dress and a bracelet:

I heard that Tom Ford will be the next designer collaboration with H&M. I can't wait!!!

Tomorrow we go to the Christmas Market downtown, maybe do some early Christmas shopping :-)

Coco turns 4...

It's Coco's birthday again - her 4th to be exact... Happy Birthday!

Zizi helped out with the cake - of course

It's the weekend again....

on Saturday we went to Baldaszti's Grand again and it was great again:

tuna tartar with avocado

pumpkin cream soup with chili & shrimp

scallops with sweet pea cream & parmesan risotto

home-made chicken nuggets & fries

pistachio tart with crispy choco cover

Victoria's Secret....

It's that time again... the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show was held a few days ago, with supermodels, rock stars, celebrities. The models have been training and dieting for weeks now, it can be an inspiration for everyone - a lot of them have kids already, some just had a baby. Still they're look fantastic (I just miss 2 of the original angels - Gisele & Heidi):
