"This is a hug from me to you, to let you know I am thinking of you, and although I have nothing to say, you know I have thought of you today."

ENGLISH

I remember how fun it was to receive a handwritten letter or postcard when I was a kid. Having penpals, staying in touch via letter with friends after moving. And today, when you get mail, you either ordered something online, got a bill, or something from the government, maybe bank.

We write emails, text or chat someone, although handwritten letters are much more personal. They make you feel special and create a positive feeling overall, and I think these apply not just to the recipient,  but also to the writer. 

I remember sending a postcard to my sister years ago, just like that. She later texted me that as she passed the mailbox, she had a feeling, turned around and opened it. She had a bad day but my postcard really made her smile.

Well, how long has it been since you wrote a letter to someone with pen and paper? - I have to admit that lately I am pretty bad at it. But I like leaving small messages on sticky notes if that matters.

The world tends to switch from writing to typing and I know that postal costs have also increased, posts are sometimes lost, and it is far more comfortable to type in something and just press the "Send" button. But come on, handwriting is priceless.

If you have not written any letter or handwritten messages lately, this week is perfect to catch up as it is "Thinking of You Week" that should inspire people to create a wave of love, caring and happiness by sending greeting cards.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your pen and start writing.  ;)

DEUTSCH

Ich erinnere mich, wie lustig es war, als Kind einen handgeschriebenen Brief oder eine Postkarte zu erhalten. Brieffreunde haben, nach dem Umzug per Brief mit Freunden in Kontakt bleiben. Und heute, wenn man Post bekommt, hat man entweder etwas online bestellt, eine Rechnung oder etwas von der Regierung, vielleicht von der Bank bekommen. 

Wir schreiben E-Mails, schicken SMSs oder chatten, obwohl handgeschriebene Briefe viel persönlicher sind. Sie geben einem das Gefühl, etwas Besonderes zu sein und schaffen insgesamt ein positives Gefühl, und ich denke, das gilt nicht nur für den Empfänger, sondern auch für den Schreiber. 

Ich erinnere mich, dass ich vor Jahren eine Postkarte an meine Schwester schickte, einfach so. Sie schrieb mir später, dass sie, als sie am Briefkasten vorbeiging, ein Gefühl hatte, drehte sich um und öffnete es. Sie hatte einen schlechten Tag, aber meine Postkarte hat sie wirklich zum Lächeln gebracht. 

Wie lange ist es her, seit du jemandem mit Stift und Papier einen Brief geschrieben hast? - Ich muss zugeben, dass ich in letzter Zeit ziemlich schlecht darin bin. Ich mag es aber, kleine Nachrichten auf Sticky Notes zu schreiben, wenn das zählt.

Die Welt tendiert dazu, vom Schreiben zum Tippen zu wechseln, und ich weiß, dass die Postkosten auch gestiegen sind, Posts sind manchmal verloren, und es ist viel bequemer, etwas eintippen und einfach den "Senden"-Knopf zu drücken. Aber komm schon, Handschrift ist unbezahlbar.

Wenn du in letzter Zeit keine Briefe oder handgeschriebenen Nachrichten geschrieben hast, ist diese Woche perfekt, um es aufzuholen, denn es ist "An dich denken Woche", die Leute dazu bringen sollte, eine Welle von Liebe, Fürsorge und Glück durch das Senden von Grußkarten zu erzeugen.

Also, worauf wartest du noch? Greif deinen Kuli und fang an zu schreiben.  ;)

Enjoy yourself!  :)

Lots of love,

Je t’aime Paris

✯ Hello Shiny Stars! ✯

„Paris is always a good idea.” – Audrey Hepburn was so right with this sentence. 

Paris is a beautiful city which has somehow a really familial atmosphere. It is the city of lovers, of fashion, of possibilities and of course the place where we can marvel at the Eiffel Tower. We also can’t forget about the Notre Dame Cathedral, Louvre, Arce de Triomphe, Tuileries Garden and so on.

To get the feeling of this beautiful city I made a collage for you. The ring, the watch and the little purse are from Cherry Diva, an online fashion jewellery, accessories and clothing brand. They offer affordable costume jewellery and accessories to everybody.

I hope, you will enjoy my Paris inspired collage. To find the items, just click on the links below the picture.

 

 1. Black Eiffel Faux Leather Watch (£8.00)

2. Merci Vintage Coin Purse (£4.00)

3. Eiffel Ring (£1.00)

Lots of love,

Parcel from Dresslink

✯ Hello shiny stars! ✯

In my „Happy 3rd Blog-Birthday”-post I mentioned a little parcel that I received from Dresslink. Today I would love to show you the items that were in.

1. Leather Zip Up Leggings

2. Long Sleeve Mini Dress

3. Sleeveless Mini Party Dress

4. Folding Travel Bag
  
The black leather leggings on the picture are a good alternative to leather pants. They are pretty and they fit perfect. Although they are not exactly like leather, with a white blouse or top, they make a perfect outfit for a night out.

I like sweater-dresses, therefore I chose the black-white-purple long sleeve dress. It’s comfortable to wear and fits perfect. I think, they will be great with boots.  The strips on the skirt look good, on the sleeve not that much, but if you roll up the sleeves, it’s fine. I read some customer reviews about this product and many customers wrote that it’s too short to be worn as a dress and you need to wear leggings with it. I can just disagree with this. For me it fits like it's said, a dress.

The other dress was a really bargain.  Can you believe that it was only $0,01? Amazing, isn’t it? There are always different items for Flashbuy on the site and you can pick one of them if you buy something else too. You can check out the actual products here. I chose a white mini dress made from organza. It has a side zipper and looks so pretty with the bow on the waist. The only negativ thing about it, that the dress is a little uncomfortable to wear because of the material which is scratchy.

Last but not least a very useful bag. It’s 3 in 1, which means there are 3 ways to style it. It can be a shoulder bag, a backpack or a cross bag. It’s quite big, perfect for a weekend trip and if you are not using it, you can just fold it and put it in its pouch.  About the strength of the material I can’t say anything at the moment, but I think it is not so fragile.

What do you think about my purchase? Which item is your favourite? 
Would you like to see more posts like these in the future?

Please let me know in the comment section.

Lots of love,

Happy 3rd Blog-Birthday

✯ Hello shiny stars! ✯

Today is a special day in the blog’s and also in my life.  It was exactly 3 years ago that I decided to bring P&P style into being. 3 years… Unbelievable, isn’t it?

As I was starting to blog, to be honest, I didn’t think about the future. I was writing just for me, because I was enjoying it. I didn’t had any followers, but now it is not the same anymore. I am writing not only for me, but for you too and I am enjoying every single moment of it. I am happy to read your comments and I do really appreciate them.  Thank you for being my Reader, my Shiny Star in this online world. Thank you to you all.

Since I am living in London, the blog has gained many other experiences, many memories for me. I have attended fashion, blogger and store events, I have met amazing people, I have talked with talented and highly motivated  designers and I could share this amazing memories with my sister, which makes me feel grateful too.

If you are a regular Reader of my blog, you must be familiar with the phrase „Shiny Stars”. This is how I call my lovely Readers. And this is the reason why I bought a necklace with a star pendant for me for this special occasion (see on the picture). Every time I am looking at the medal, P&P style comes to my mind.

It was not projected, but I received another birthday-present too. My Dresslink-packet arrived exactly today, like a present to the blog, to me. More about the items will be online soon, so stay tuned.  ;)

Thank you for your support in the last 3 years, I hope you will be with me in the future as well and new Readers, Shiny Stars are more than welcome.

Have a wonderful week.  :)

Lots of love,

Earrings from Body Jewellery Shop

✯ Hello shiny stars! ✯

Today's post will be a little different, but I hope you will like it, because there are more to come in this column.

Here I show you the three beautiful stud earrings that I received shortly from Body Jewellery Shop.

 

With the tiny heart I fell immediately in love. They are cute and girly.

These and also the silver glitter earrings give sparkle to our everyday outfits. With their shine they are really able to light up our look, believe me.  ;)

They are perfect for any glamorous outfit but they are ideal for a comfy look as well.

I choose them in the colour silver, but you can find them in many other colours here.

The star earrings are a little different. They are not silver like the others. They are made from stainless steel, therefore they have a grey colour. This material makes the earrings comfortable to wear, because they don't irritate the ears. Do you have earrings which are stainless? Do you feel the difference whilst wearing them?

If you like jewellery, you can find many different earrings, ear piercings, belly button jewellery and other piercings on the site of Body Jewellery Shop. Go, visit them.

Do you have a favourite from the site? Or have you already buy something from there?

Just let me know in the comment section below.  :)

Have a wonderful week.  :)

Lots of love,

E
