Inspiration | June

Mood Board | June '15



Hi lovelies. Today I wanted to post my June Inspiration. In about two and a half weeks I'll (hopefully) be attending a festival called Secret Solstice here in Iceland which will be held for the second time. I'm so excited and I'm already planning my outfits for all 3 days. It's from the 19th - 21st June and I am seriously at the verge of passing out from excitement. With that in mind I decided why not put together a few things that I feel like wearing or treating myself with this month, the collage consists of pretty much festival basics as I'd like to put it; there's the ripped jeans, a denim shirt dress, a dark eye shadow palette perfect for to create a grungy make up look and no festival outfit is perfect without a poncho. I especially have my eyes on a nude/camel vest.

What are your go-to festival pieces?

1. E.L.F Studio Flawless Finish Foundation // 2. Maybelline Dream Nude Airfoam Foundation 
3. Bobbi Brown Weightless Powder Foundation // 4. Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse
5. Bobbi Brown Foundation stick // 6. M.A.C Mineralize Moisture Foundation
7. Smashbox Liquid Halo Foundation // 8. Make Up Store Studio Foundation Powder 
 9. Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Even Finish Compact Foundation // 10. NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation 

I recently drained my M.A.C studio fix fluid foundation which I've been using for quite some time now alongside the Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick. This means going on another hunt for the perfect foundation. As everyone already knows, M.A.C. cosmetics isn't the cheapest of brands so right now my aim is to find a few  good brands that are on the more affordable side. I've tried a couple of drugstore brands but they never seem to be dark enough for my skin tone and always leave me looking ashy. I'm starting to think that I might need to actually purchase two separate shades and mix them to get the desired shade or go back to splurging on the studio fix fluid.

I'm interested in trying the NARS and Bobbi Brown compact foundation although I'm quite certain that my shade of the BB one isn't in stock. Also no place here carries NARS which means I'd need to get mine online, that can be a hassle to find a site that ships to Iceland. Have you guys tried any of the above foundations and if so which top 3 would you recommend me to try out?

New Years Eve Outfit Ideas

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!
Untitled #46

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.

Inspiration | July '14

Asos

A new month calls for an inspirational post with a few items I need lust for in my wardrobe/beauty counter. Now I haven't been shopping too much this past month (the Naked 3 palette in my last post is from long ago, just forgot to post about it), the reason's because I've been working like a crazy person, but I plan on treating myself to something good very soon. I'm just really trying to save as much money as I can because I have big plans ahead and I want to be financially stable when the time comes. Believe it or now but I've actually never purchased anything off of ASOS before... that's about to change soon.
Wishing you all a sunny and happy Thursday unlike the storm that's passing through over here. xo

New Years Eve Outfits

Asos
As the new year is fast approaching I decided to put together a few outfits to inspire those in need (of a little sparkle). Most of the items used you probably already own or you have something very similar so make sure you raid your wardrobes before going out and spending a lot of money on a new dress or a sequined skirt that you probably won't even use too much.

New Years Eve #1
Outfit 1: this outfit is perfect for N.Y.E because it's very glam and classy. I chose a pretty black dress as that is definitely something most people would opt for and also it's something that probably already exists in your wardrobe so you don't have to go out and spend a huge amount of money on another dress. The fur will keep you warm as the night gets younger and watch will be there to keep time so you do not miss out on your midnight kiss.
New Years Eve #2

Outfit 2: I'm sure everyone already owns a tight mini skirt in their wardrobes, it doesn't have to be sequined but pretty much anything with some sort of design/print/embellishment will do for this look. The main focus of this outfit is this sequined skirt and I accessorised the whole outfit around the skirt, for shoes I went with these creamy pumps to bring out the pink/coral colour in the skirt and as for earrings I wanted them to stand out on their own so that's why I opted for these minty coloured earrings and the rest is black to tie down everything together.
New Years Eve #3


Outfit 3: this outfit is for my ladies that aren't too into dresses nor skirts but don't worry you can still be able to rock your pants on this special night by pairing them with a cropped top and some major necklace piece and also go bold with your lips and nails. Adding a touch of sparkle is a must and this clutch is perfect for that as it isn't too overwhelming and can fit your necessities. This jacket adds also the perfect amount of colour to the outfit itself and also it's long and cosy to keep you warm.
New Years Eve #4

Outfit 4: the ALL-IN outfit that will have you feeling like a celebrity. Pop on this gorgeous sequined piece, add some blue sparkles to your nails for contrast and also either go bold with your lips wearing a purple lipstick to avoid lookinh too matchy-matchy or you could stick to the nudes. Add on a pair of black heels and a clutch and you'll be ready to go; just don't forget your fur for warmth.


That's it, for this New Years Eve outfit I already feel myself leaning towards the sequined dress but not actually too sure because with this weather of ours one can never predict. Guess you'll just have to wait until the New Year to see what I wear and also let me know below what you'll be wearing and which one of these outfits you prefer.
