Inspiration | I'm falling for U


Autumn is fast approaching, at least in this part of the world and I cannot wait. If you've been a follower of the blog for long then you probably know how I feel about the colder seasons; Autumn in particular. I love this time of the year because it's not too cold nor too warm outside and it gives me the opportunity to layer my clothes which is one of my favourite things to do. I love piling on layers and layers of cover-ups especially XL plaid shirts and knee-high socks with boots. Above are a couple of things I'm lusting over for the upcoming season.
What's your favourite way of dressing up in Autumn?

Beauty | Smoked to the Gods

Beauty
Products used:
Urban Decay Naked 3 palette
YSL Ecré de peau foundation
Ebay lashes
Gosh liquid eyeliner
MAC studio fix fluid concealer

It's been a while since I posted anything beauty related and that's why today I'm coming to you with this smokey eye I created back in June for the Secret Solstice festival. I was so impressed with how it turned out because this look definitely wasn't planned and I just went from my brows to the eyes and this was the outcome. The dramatic lashes livened the look even more and I received quite a lot of compliments, which we all love. I used only the NAKED 3 palette and I cannot wait to show you some Autumn inspired looks.

 Jacket - Blend Women // Top - 3 Smárar // Pants, Sunglasses - H&M // Converse sneakers

Coming to you with a quick outfit from maybe two weeks ago. I just didn't have time to post it sooner but here it is. That day was a very chilled one with only a few errands to run and had some lunch with mum. Also at the time my natural hair was behaving and being all soft which is was something new... and obviously it didn't last long. I hope you had a great weekend, mine was spent working :(

How Would You Wear | B O D Y C O N

H/M

Good evening! I started out my morning by showing up at work at 05:30 only to find that I wasn't supposed to be working until tomorrow. Instead of letting that part get to me, I decided to be positive and focus more on the fact that I was on my way back to my warm bed where I managed to sleep in till noon.

As you can see today's post is another take on  the monthly HWYW challenge. This time around the theme was bodycon, I was going to wear a beautiful yellow bandage dress but ended up getting a foundation stain on it at the very last minute so I decided to wear this instead. I love the outcome and I think it might be one of my best outfits yet. It didn't take me longer than 5 minutes putting the entire outfit together, sometimes the best outfits are those that don't take forever planning.
That's it for today and make sure to check out the other ladies who took part to see their take on the challenge. x

New In | Naked 2, Essie & Make Up For Ever

Beauty

You guys have no idea how excited I was to try these products; especially the false eyelashes and the Make Up For Ever shadow. Three weekends ago I went to Copenhagen and it was a University related trip, it was a very abrupt departure which resulted in me being able to only stay there for a little over 24 hours. It was great because I finally met one of my good friends who unfortunately wasn't there when I went in the beginning of July. I had very limited time but I managed to find myself in make up heaven that is S-E-P-H-O-R-A. Truth be told I probably spent an hour to two in there, just walking back and forth and scavenging each and every beauty counter from Bobbi Brown, Benefit Cosmetics to Nars. I managed to keep my cool and walked out with only things I needed like false eyelashes :)
