New In | The Nude Pumps

Pumps - Gallerí Keflavík / (similar)

Believe it or not, this is the first pair of nude in my shoe collection. I seem to have enough of black and a few blues and pinks here and there, but never had nude heels before; which is a disappointment seeing as nude tones are an essential staple in ones' wardrobe and shoe collection. That has now changed because these gorgeous babies have joined the team. I'm still in the works of perfectly fitting them to my feet because as of now they slide each time I lift up my legs, don't you hate when that happens?! I couldn't pass them up just because of that seeing as they were reasonably priced and I needed a nude pair. I'm in love and can't wait to style them with some pretty spring colours.

Do you own a pair of nude heels?

New In | Justine Heels


Greetings everybody - hope you´re having an awesome week. In this post I talked about downsizing my shopping habits, but of course I wasn't talking about completely abandoning my love for shopping, especially there's a good deal online. Now that that's out there, I'm stoked to show you these beautiful sky-high navy blue heels that I got from Public Desire. You might have noticed that I love their shoes because I already own a couple of pairs from them and most of them are comfortable enough to walk in. This time around I opted for a more chunkier heel, they may seem inconvenient but I've worn them around the house and it's literally like walking on clouds plus they provide me with a few cm´s. I'm anxiously awaiting summer so I can really show you how gorgeous they're in person, they're so versatile and can go with anything from a bodycon dress to a pair of loose trousers topped off with a blazer.

You can find them here (33%) and similar ones here.

Heels - Zara // (similar)

I snatched this beautiful light pink pair a while back from Zara, they were displayed from a distance and I immediately headed for them, coming to find that they were the very last ones and in my size... it's like they were just sitting there all lush waiting to come home with me. What made me fall in love with them was the colour, it's not too loud which I like, and how chunky the heel is.
Chunky = comfort (in most cases), they fit like a glove and I cannot wait to take them out for a spin; hopefully over the weekend!

GOSH GIANT SUN POWDER

GOSH Giant Sun Powder (001)













Lately I've really been loving to highlight the heck out of my face, it's come to the point whereby I feel slightly naked without a dash of this gorgeous golden bronze on my cheekbones. I wear it to work, on my casual days and of course on the nights out too. It makes my skin look and feel extra beautiful even though I suffer from very bad breakouts and scarring. I've used this product almost every single day since purchasing it, that's how much I love it.

The product gives a very nice healthy glow plus it's suitable for all skin tones, although I think it looks even extra pretty on fair skin. It's versatile and can be used both as a bronzing powder or highlight. I like to highlight my face with it and so far it's worked out fine. I use the Real Techniques pointed foundation brush to get a smooth and finer looking glow, I always start small and build the glow by slightly adding more product. If you're feeling bold you could simply brush it on your eyelids to look more awake without doing too much.

As you can see this is a pretty enormous product which will last you years and years to come (unless you're a make-up artist or use it almost daily like me). It wasn't too pricey and you definitely get more than you're paying for so it's well worth the money!

Denim jacket - H&M

Happy Wednesday, I just wanted to drop by and show you guys this really cool and warm denim jacket that I got not too long ago. The first time I saw it, I fell in love with the fit of it and all but decided to  not take it home with me that day. It wasn't until my last day of adventures in Berlin when I went into the store and got it after thinking about for 3 days non-stop. I've been wearing it constantly since the day I got it and I definitely think the situation with this denim jacket will be alike the one with the red leather jacket I own from Vero Moda. I already have a few outfit pictures where I'm wearing the jacket so expect that soon as well as a make-up look featuring the Naked Smoky palette from the last post.

New In | Urban Decay Naked Smoky

UD Naked Smoky - $54
I caved in once again and got myself the latest installment of the popular Naked palettes by Urban Decay, the Naked Smoky palette. This is the third in my collection, I have the Naked 2Naked 3 and now, Naked Smoky. I bought mine in a store called Douglas back when I was in Berlin. I walked in there not knowing what it was exactly I was looking for till I saw this beauty. I instantly picked one up without even asking about the price and headed straight for the check-out counter. You could say that it was love at first sight. As always the palette carries twelve insanely pigmented eyeshadows in an array of incredible shades - also this in my opinion is their best packaging of all the Naked palettes; I mean how ridiculously cool is the floating smoke affect that covers the case? I don't know about you but I've never seen anything like it.

I seriously need to step up my sharing-pictures-while-they-are-fresh game instead of posting them months later as I'm doing this post. Anyway I purchased these babies on Public Desire about a month ago, I was too lazy to share the pictures until something magical happened today where I photographed a lot of content for the blog including these pictures.
Also I completed knitting the scarf I told you about, I want to feature it in an outfit post soon. Okay, so back to the shoes, they are called the Jennie fringe heels & Serena aqua blue cut out heels.

The necklaces are from Topshop & Zara

Autumn is fast approaching and it's time to start preparing for it with warmer clothes, statement necklaces, [here] you can see some other pieces. Along with the statement pieces there's the story of switching up summer foundations and concealers for lighter shades for the cold season. I got a few things to get me started and that's what I'm here to show you today. Hope it inspires someone out there.

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


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 :)

New In | L.A. Girl, Barry M, Tanya Burr & Argan Moroccan Oil

Today I'm bringing you a haul, you might have noticed that I've toned down my shopping habits quite a bit and haven't been posting as many hauls as say last year or the year before. That's because I have other important things to invest my money in and also I'm just not as fond of posting 'hauls' as before I was before. Anyway here's a quick post featuring some recent buys, they range from nail polishes, lashes + mascara to hair products.

Boots - Monki

I love all sorts of animal prints, but I seem to be more fond of cheetah print. I own quite a collection of cheetah printed items ranging from jeans, wedges, scarves, blouses/tops to earrings! I'm surprised I don't own a cheetah printed bag somewhere. Anyway I love the print especially as a eye-catcher, it makes a great accessory for adding a bit of life to any look. I snagged the pair above in a sale and I've yet to wear them. They are pretty and bit too wild for some people out there but it'd look perfect with an all black outfit. I'm excited to wear them.

What animal prints are you crazy about?

New In | The Perfect Everyday Handbag

H/M
£19.99 Bag

With the recent travels I realised that I was in deep need of that perfect everyday handbag that could pass for a carry-on bag and fit all my necessities while still staying strong and it needs to be easy to carry around because I dislike comfort especially when travelling. This H&M bag does just that; the taupe and black together make for a great everyday bag that goes with anything and I love the structure of it, inside it's got three compartments which are great for keeping my personal belongings safe. I mostly use the two handles but occasionally I'll pop out the shoulder strap. It's been used quite a lot lately and it's still going strong, plus it's neither too over-sized or tiny for my petite frame.

New In | Basic Tees, Clutch & Jewellery

Shoes, Clutch - Zara | Necklace, Earrings - Topshop
Vest - Gallerí 17 | Crop top - Corner
Loose fit tees - Zara
Coming to you with a quick post featuring a few of my recently purchases. Lately I've been loving to rock loose-fit tees and it's a plus if they are in a white or grey colour. Before I despised white but now I love it and am constantly searching for the next piece of clothing to add to my wardrobe. It's funny how things can change unexpectedly isn't it? I never in a million years would have guessed that I'd actually wear white clothing. I'm going to start packing for my trip tomorrow morning and I doubt that I will be blogging a lot while there but do follow me on Instagram where I will most likely be very active.

New In | L'Occitane Box


Recently at the mall I discovered a store that carries a variety L'Occitane products and so I decided to get this box that includes a shower gel (not pictured), foot and hand creams, a perfumed sachet, bar soap and a lip balm. The box came nicely packaged and once I opened it, the scent of a blend consisting of almond oils, honey, fruit extracts and lavender all in one was oozing around my entire room. I can't do the scent justice by trying to describe it here but believe me you that they smell amazing!

L'Occitane en Province is an all organic French brand/company with headquarters in Manosque, France. The company carries products ranging from body, face and home products. All of their products are developed and produced in Manosque and has a majority of it's sources in Provence, in addition to that; the Shea butter used in their products is purchased from women's groups in Burkina Faso. The primary ingredient is the immortelle flower, which apparently has anti-aging properties making the products hype-worthy. The company doesn't test on animals which is a huge plus, I'm not one too deep into the whole animal testing process but it's great to know that their products are all naturally produced. The products are quite expensive but if you're one who likes to pamper themselves and really take care of yourself then I highly recommend these products, not only do they stand to their expectations, but they smell amazing too.

New In | Jewellery & Beauty

Georg V. Hannah necklace | Love Spell body mist | EOS lip balm | Spúútník necklace | Maybelline the Colossal volum' express mascara | Gosh crackle nail polish - Gold | Maybelline nail polish - Downtown Red


Today I wanted to show you guys a few things that recently got to join my growing collection of nail polishes, mascaras and jewellery. What can I say, I'm in need of serious help. I love my pendant necklace that one of my friends gifted  me for my graduation, it's so pretty and adds a great touch to any outfit. You will be seeing it quite a lot in the coming outfit posts. I've heard great things about this mascara and I'm looking forward to testing it out. 

New In | NAKED 3 & Converse

 Converse All Star // Naked 3 60$ at Sephora

It's very strange to think that July is already here and in only two months I will be returning to school for hopefully what will be my last and final year before I head into the working world. Last month I posted a wishlist post and on there was the Urban Decay Naked palette, I'd posted that whilst my parents were abroad and I really wanted that palette but since it was out of stock, or maybe they've stopped selling it I have no idea. They ended up not finding it and instead got me the Naked 3 and to be honest I prefer it over the first one because I feel these colours are more daily appropriate and all contain hints of gold which is the kind of eye shadows I gravitate more towards. It also came with two freebies; a pack of 'show some skin' weightless foundation with SPF 30, unfortunately I think the four foundations in it are a tad too light for my skin tone. Then there's the highly raved about primer potion which I'm excited to use.
Oh and I also got my first pair of converses in this gorgeous cobalt blue colour, they make a statement of their own and great to add colour to a outfit.

New In | Statement Necklaces


Feather rhinestone necklace | Geometric stones necklace

Seems these days all I do is shop, I'm just getting ready for summer and updating a few things in my wardrobe as well as my jewelry. These two gorgeous necklaces are perfect colours for this season and they are great statement pieces to add to and uplift any fancy or more casual outfit. I've already worn the blue necklace and I just fell it love. Hopefully an outfit coming soon, that is if my phone stops playing me.

New In | [VOGUE x GOSH]

April VOGUE | GOSH eyeliner in Stone | Aztec phonecase
Happy Sunday! Today's a holiday here so I spent the whole day sleeping and later in the afternoon I made some really good waffles with chocolate. Man they were so yummy! Last night the girls and I went out for the first time in a looong time, everyone's been so busy with work that we barely had time to even meet for coffee or anything, but finally yesterday we made something of our free day and went out on the night and we had a great time. The weather was really good this time, no rain or wind and it was even sunny so you know the legs went bare.
Garnier pore purifying toner: leaves your skin feeling fresh and tingles a bit on sensitive spots.

Clean & Clear blackhead clearing daily scrub: works well and has microbeads that help scrub away the dead skin. I feel even though it's a daily scrub it's a bit too rough on the skin to use every day so maybe every other day and alternate with just a clear face wash to be good to your skin. 
I'm slowly but surely becoming a lipstick junkie, in my last blog post which was my favourites post, I showed you guys my favourite nude lipstick called '86 kitch' by Gosh. I've been using that lipstick so much in the past 2 months or so that I had to go get myself two more lipsticks in a kitten pink and a coral one. The Kitten Pink one is a definite dupe for the Viva Glam lipstick from MAC. I've still got to use Shocking Coral and I plan on reviewing these two products after further more use.

Wishing you all a very peaceful and joyful Sunday with your loved ones and don't forget to bring the positive thoughts into the coming week. Now imma grab myself a cup of tea and socialise for a little bit :)

New In | Sheinside & Blend

 Fuzzy jumper - Sheinside | Coat - (Blend) bought it in a store called Krummaskúð

Got the fuzzy jumper along side this dress off of Sheinside. It's cosy and comfortable and most definitely the perfect item for cold weather. I've already got another similar jumper to this one which I'd bought in Gina Tricot, it's the reason I decided to go for another one but in a different colour.

I cannot rave enough about this pretty coat above, I'm just really in love with it and don't regret my impromptu purchase I did with it. I just felt it was an any occasion or weather appropriate coat and it really goes with everything in my wardrobe. My favourite way of styling it though is with some jeans, a pair of really high wedges and a cute top with a cross body bag with my hair in a topknot. Ahhh.
