Outfit | Fur + Bun

Good afternoon my beauties, January's coming to an end and to be honest I didn't do much this month (other than reading like a maniac, I managed to finish the book Grafarþögn for my Icelandic class in about 2-3 weeks). The post-Christmas sales are coming to an end as well and believe it or not; I haven't purchased a single thing. I'm saving my mula for important things and I'm very proud of myself.
Yesterday on my way to school I decided to take the tripod and my camera with me so that on my way home I would stop somewhere and shoot a couple of outfit photos, but one of my lovely friends offered to shoot for me which I was very happy about because there was so much wind yesterday and can you imagine my mini-self outside in the cold wind trying to pose and not break my expensive camera hahah.

I'm still feeling under the weather so I played a bit with layering, I have a tunic under my striped top, the fur vest and then the jacket to top it off.
My bun ended up being destroyed by the evil wind and my friend H didn't give me a heads up.

Inspiration // January


It's been raining constantly the past week and  I might be headed for the depression side. Nowadays the days are only like 4 hours and it's so dark outside. I'm losing it ya'll so to keep myself inspired and not avoid people all day, this is what gives me power and motivation to get myself going on with my everyday life (also my studies and future goals).
Due to the weather being so suck-y it's impossible to take any decent looking outfit pictures. For now you guys will have to deal with images via Tumblr x Google. I apologize.



I've noticed that in almost all my 'inspiration' posts, there's always shoes included. Ya'll have to understand that I really love shoes.
She's so gorgeous but what's up with her breast.
Macklemore x Ryan Lewis, I've fallen absolutely in love with these two after hearing their song Thrift Shop a couple of months ago. Their songs, especially Thrift Shop x Same Love have been on constant replay.

I wore this outfit last week but hadn't got the chance to post it until now. It was a Friday and for some random reason I felt like wearing black almost from head to toe. I didn't quite do that, but I was very close to succeeding.
School's been crazy, so far I've had two tests already, the first one I received a 9.0, today I got a 10.0, I've got another test tomorrow and another one on Friday. This is all in my Icelandic class, each day I have to read about 5 chapters! Goodbye social life.


Now I will return to my studies!

Good afternoon loves, hope you're all doing well on this beautiful Saturday afternoon.
I woke up at 1pm because for some reason I was very tired this morning and just couldn't get myself to get out of bed anytime earlier than 1pm. It was so good to wake up late, I'm free from work this weekend so most of my time will be spent sleeping, reading school books and soaking up on some reality tv shows. (currently watching 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians')

Above are some items that I recently bought, I've been buying books like crazy and also I have to get my reading on because last year I didn't manage to finish even one book. This year I plan on reading at least 5 books. I really like going to second hand stores and purchasing my books there because what's the use of spending tons of money on a brand new book when you can get one in good condition at a second hand/thrift shop?


I will now go curl up in my bed watching more of the Kardashians and  probably work on some math problems and then take a nap.

Christmas Pressies

  **I have already used some of the items and I completely forgot to add them when I was taking the photos**
Yo! So school's going well even though in math class today, I only managed to work on 3 problems for a whole 80 minutes (btw it was our first actual class), but due to me finishing early I went straight home and got working on the rest of the math problems and I'm happy to say that I understand it and I don't see what the big deal was when I was in the classroom. Now I've just got to work harder.

Apologies for this post not coming sooner, I haven't had any time to take pictures of my presents because I've been feeling a bit under the weather lately and thus I wasn't inspired to do anything. If you've been a reader of my blog for the past year or so you will know that I'm in no way bragging here, I'm just sharing with you what I got and I'm very appreciative of every single item that I got. I feel like I received a lot of things even though I didn't ask for anything... I never actually ask for anything, ever.

 What did you get this Christmas?

My Style Profile


1. Describe your style in 5 words. Go!
    - Fun. Flirty. Eclectic. Hip. Casual Chic.

2. Is it better to be fashionable or comfortable?
    - Both. If you can pull it off. Most of my days (especially during the autumn season) I will pull out a pair of thick leggings, add a long tunic type of tee-shirt, a bunch of bangles and rings and then I would top of the outfit with my leather jacket, beanie and some Vans.
This outfit combination is very comfortable yet fashionable at the very same time, although I have to admit that in between I do tend to become defeated by my laziness and instead of dressing fashionably, I've ended up opting for comfy slouchy clothes that cannot be considered fashionable in any way.

3. Go-to shopping destinations:
   - I enjoy discovering little local boutiques that no one knows about. That way I always end up finding unique and trendy items that no one else has. I'm currently in love with Jack & Jones (even though it's a men's shop) because they have some bad-ass beanies for my head for the cold winter days and also their sweaters and to-die-for. Although J&J's is more on the pricey side compared to other stores.
Zara is as always one of my favourite  places to shop from, they have such chic yet effortless items and I just love their shoes and jewelry (everything that they carry!)

4. What do you splurge on and what do you save on?
   - I'm not much of a splurging person, but if I happen to splurge on something it's usually on accessories like handbags or shoes. A well made bag will last you forever and if you choose the right colour it most definitely will go with anything in dress yourself into. Same goes for shoes. As we all know trends are not forever, therefore they are always changing. And with that said it would be considered pretty stupid of me to splurge on a colourblock or cutout dress because I'm quite certain that those trends won't last long compared to if I splurged on a classic little black dress because we all know that will forever stay in trend.

5. Heels or flats?
  - Most definitely flats. Though when I say flats, I'm actually referring to Vans and chelsea boots because those are my kind of flat shoes. I love my Vans and I wear them probably 4 days of the week. Though a nice heel always adds up to the outfit and fancy-fies it a little while at the same time giving me a  bit of height due to me probably being the smallest person in my whole neighbourhood lol.

6. Your carry-on luggage always has:
   - Perfume, face wipes, a bunch of earrings and rings, a pair of jeans, a tee-shirt, sneakers and a warm cardigan and extra undergarments.

7. Most loved item in your closet:
    - Probably my pretty high wedges shoes that I got from H&M over the summer. Ever since I got them, their the only shoes that I've been seen myself wearing and parties and events. They are high but super comfortable and my mother always thinks I'm crazy for wearing such high shoes for wandering many hours at the mall. But I cannot help it that they are gorgeous and perfect for any occasion so it's only sensible for me to make good use of them.

8. Your style icon is:
     -  It's impossible to choose only one because I have quite a few. I mostly get inspired due to what I'm thinking of wearing that morning, if I'm not sure I will find myself scrolling through Vogue.com and finding something of interest. My style icons include both real and fictional characters so... here it goes. Serena var der Woodsen, Jenny Humphrey, Alexa Chung, Blair Waldorf, Chuck Bass, Rihanna, Shirley of Meek-n-Mild.com, Sototallyvlog from YouTube. Sincerely Jules - blogger and many more.


Hopefully you found my style profile enjoyable and Iwill see talk to you all in my next post. Today we got our timetables for next semester and I couldn't be happier, finally going to finish my four courses of French and Economics. Also this semester I decided to take up Geography because I really used to enjoy it at secondary school and it will sure be a great feeling returning to learning all about the countries and wonders of the world.
