My favourite time about the Holiday celebrations right behind stuffing my face is getting ready for the New Year. The thrill regarding the year upon us and the excitement of pampering myself and getting ready for a night out, last year was the first time that I ever went out as I usually prefer to keep myself warm in the comfort of my home. This year will be my second time out on the night for the celebrations and to continue the tradition I've put together 5 different outfits with 5 main pieces that I've focused on depending whether you're one to wear jeans, a dress, a skirt or would prefer a fab jumpsuit over anything else. In that case if you're blank on what to wear then keep on reading and hopefully you'll find one you like and can use it to get yourself feeling and looking fierce!

Outfit 1: To kick start this post is a piece of clothing that has been surfacing the web and magazines quite a lot this year, the jumpsuit. I've always loved them and wished I was a tad bit taller to be able to wear them as I please but nothing a pair of stiletto heels or platform heels can't fix. I chose silver accessories for once to take a break from the golds, the fluffy bag is a great touch to the outfit as well as the blue hat for colour and to protect your hair from snow or rain depending on where you're located.

Graduation Day | 20.12.14 |

Lifestyle
Brunch at Sky Lounge & Bar
2014 is almost over and as aforementioned in this post I told you guys that on the 20th of December I received my upper secondary certificate and I'm officially ready to go to University. I'm just stuck on what exactly to study because I don't want to waste my time doing something that doesn't interest me and then having to later change courses and all that jazz. This was my my main goal of this year, to graduate and to be able to do so I had to devote my time and hard work into it by taking way more classes than adviced so that I could make it, and I DID IT.

It's almost Christmas and I didn't manage to prepare all the Gift Guide posts I had planned in time for the Holidays but here's the last set and it's for the beauty blogger or those with devotion to cosmetics. I tried to gather together beauty products that I think any beauty junkie out there would love, it's everything from fragrance, to nail polish, to lipstick, to the shower gels. And an organic lip scrub for the perfect pamper night. These are all quite well known brands and it shouldn't be too hard for you to get your hands on one in case you still have some last minute shopping to do. It's been fun doing these and I wish I had posted more because I had a whole lot planned but the timing just wasn't right, guess there's always another time. I'll now continue snuggling in my cosy bed catching up on missed episodes of my favourite series.


MERRY CHRISTMAS! xx

How Would You Wear | Christmas Party Outfit

Christmas

I'm so thankful to GOD for this day in particular because I've finally concluded my Upper Secondary/High School/Gymnasium (Iceland always finds a way to complicate things), after 4 years of struggling but I made sure to never think of quitting or taking a year or one semester break which for many I've noticed ended up turning into a whole 2 years of "break". Here we call it Menntaskóli, a completion of the 4 year program provides you with ' stúdentspróf ' which is our version of a upper secondary certificate which is required for entry to most universities in Iceland. And since it's similar to a college and it pretty much determines your future, I will say that I 'majored' in Business and Economics. More about the topic in another post.

Continuing with the Gift Guide segment, the second part is going to be on gifts to give your man and even your dads depending on what their hobbies are. In case you missed the first post, you can read it here. I usually have difficulties finding gifts for men, so I always lean towards clothing and fragrances/colognes. I love giving gifts that smell good. But for this post, trying to avoid a post filled only with different brands of colognes, I decided to add in a few other items as ideas such as the famous Daniel Wellington watch, a pair of leather converses and the most talked about thing right now, the FIFA15 game and PS4. A messenger bag would also be a great gift for they can use it to bare their photography equipment and laptop, also the  burnt brown colour's just perfect.
Hope this helps some of you out there. xo

New In | MAC VIVA GLAM |||

Beauty
 MAC Viva Glam 3

The other day while taking a break from books I was treated to my first ever MAC lipstick, I opted for the the 3rd edition from the Viva Glam range, as you probably already know, MAC is a tad more on the pricey side. The good thing about the Viva Glam lipsticks is that all profit is do nated to the MAC AIDS fund to support those affected which I'm very happy about, In a sense I'm seem like I'm spending what others might call 'unnecessary' money on a lipstick but instead I look at the bright side of things, I helped a great cause. And on the 1st of December which was World AIDS day, I attended the celebrations that HIV Iceland held, most of the MAC ladies were there all rocking the dark berry lips and bold brows... This year the HIV Iceland gathered in a total of ISK2.000.000 (~ $16.200)! It's a lot of money and I'm proud to have chipped in. I will now continue this study break of mine a watch a couple of re-runs of The Originals (I cannot get enough of Klaus).
Qotd: Do you own any MAC lipsticks, if so any Viva Glam one?

Monthly Favourites | November

Beauty
NIP+FAB foot cream // Thierry Mugler Mugler Show Eu de toilette // Atrix hand cream
Clarins moisturiser // Bath & Body works hand gel // Blistex lip balm
Urban Decay Naked 3 palette // Nivea roll-on // Bobbi Brown foundation stick
Sleek lipstick // Maybelline Linerefine eyeliner [brows] // Essie [off the shoulder]


Having not posted any monthly favourites as  of late I decided to do one for the month of November seeing as I was loving quite a lot of things. Mind you some of these item you've mostly likely already seen on here before. First comes one of my top five foot creams out there and it's from NIP+FAB, it's very moisturising and perfect to keep your legs smooth and soft especially in this cold. A while back I'd posted a review of both the Clarins daily moisturiser [here] and Sleek lipstick [here] so to get more in-depth thoughts regarding them, go ahead and open the links. For school I've found myself rocking neutral eye shadows and topping them off with my favourite Gosh liner, thus I've been getting a lot of use from the UD Naked 3 palette and lastly is the Thierry Mugler Mugler Show eu de toilette, I've almost drained the entire bottle and it's not long ago since I got it. It's a more summery scent than winter nonetheless I've worn it non-stop.

 Hopefully everyone's having a great week and looking forward to the weekend, I have my first final tomorrow and it's in Mathematics... I'm dreading it and have been studying like a maniac the past days. My weekend will be spent soaking in books so I probably won't be back on here until late next week when I'm finished with my finals. Good luck to everyone who has exams week. xx

December is here and that means there's approximately three weeks until Christmas. My excitement this Holiday season is a bit different, that is because I will be graduating on the 20th of December. I'm very excited as you can imagine and looking most forward towards using the rest of the dark months just lounging in at home and to just make decisions of the next steps in my life. More about that later though because this is not a post about my life goals, it's about helping you guys out there who have yet to begin your Christmas shopping.
