Yesterday, March 10, marked National Mario Day.

Super Mario is a beloved, timeless and iconic video game character and was created by Nintendo in 1985. He is a plumber from the Mushroom Kingdom, known for his iconic red cap, blue overalls and moustache. Mario is often accompanied by his brother Luigi, and together they go on various adventures to save Princess Peach from the villain Bowser.

The Super Mario series has evolved over the decades, setting the standard for 2D and 3D platform games and is one of the most successful and enduring franchises in video game history. These games have entertained generations of gamers worldwide.

Super Mario has also had a significant impact on fashion over the years. His iconic look has inspired countless clothing designs, accessories and even collaborations with high-end fashion brands. There was even a movie about him in 2023.

The following items are just a little inspiration on this occasion.

Wishing you a great week,

I knew that today would already be the first of December, but somehow I only realized in the morning that it also means that the first day of the opening of the Advent calendar is also here and that means that there are only 24 days left until Christmas. This also means that the time for coziness and Christmas decorations has officially arrived.

I've been browsing the internet and would like to share some inspiration with you in the form of decorations, clothes and quotes and at the end of the post there are also a few links to old DIY's from the blog.

Be inspired and have a great start to December. 😊

This is Mickey Mouse, but I don't think I need to introduce him, everyone knows who he is.

Well believe it or not, this little mouse is celebrating his 95th birthday today and he seems to know the secret to staying forever young.

For this special occasion, I checked out Primark's website to see what lovely pieces they currently have on offer and they are simply amazing. Below I've listed some of my favourites, but I've also linked to previous selections if you would like further inspiration and information.

DEUTSCH

 

Beim Durchstöbern einiger Webseiten von Online-Shops sah ich so viele verzauberte Disney-Produkte, dass ich sofort wusste, worum es bei meinem nächsten Eintrag gehen würde. Ich habe versucht, nicht so viele auf meiner Liste zu sammeln, aber ich kann nicht garantieren, dass es mir gelungen ist.

Für den Fall, jemand mich mit Einem von diesen Produkte überraschen möchte, bitte zögere nicht, und schreib mir einfach.  😉😛😆

 

Ich hoffe, dass mein kleiner Disney-inpirierter Geschenkführer Dir gefallen hat, und kann es kaum abwarten, deinen Kommentar zu lesen.

Ich wünsche Dir eine magische Woche.  :)

Alles Liebe,
