Lately #3

  

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

I don't have much appetite in the morning but I always

eat something, otherwise I will just starve to death!

Lately I have been eating porridge for breakfast, it's 

a great way to start your day. If you want to be extra

healthy, try putting some flax seeds, goji berries, coconut flakes

and mulberries. It's delicious and so so so healthy, what makes

my breakfast even better is a big glass of orange juice!

Who else got the latest issue of Company, featuring Zoella?

Of course I got myself a copy since Zoella is one of my 

favorite Youtubers! 

Okay, this game is so addicting! 

You know what I'm talking about if you 

have tried it, it's no turning back when you try it.

I still haven't won it, but I know I will! (I promise

this game is not making me crazy, I think)

If you are bored of candy crush, try this one, it's called

2048 by the way.

February Favorites

                          

February is over and March is here!

Here are my favorites for February

Instyle - UK

Instyle is one of my favorite magazines.

It has everything I want in a magazine which is 

fashion, makeup, hair, celebrities and so much more.

I think the cover for the March issue is so beautiful, the

colors are so pretty!

L'Occitane Hand cream

This hand cream is the best!

The smell is okay, some people might not like it

but it's so hydrating and not that greasy. I use

this a lot during the cold months, hopefully I won't 

need it for March!

Rimmel - Natural Bronzer

I love this bronzer and I always go back

to it. I mostly use it when I don't have a tan

because some bronzers are a bit orange, which I don't like but .

this one is perfect. If you are looking for a great, cheap bronzer you

should definitely try this one.

Primark Necklace

I bought this necklace last December when I

was in Amsterdam. I have used it so much, especially

this February. You can wear it with dresses or jumpers

which I often do and it's really cheap too.

Rimmel - Stay Matte Foundation

Another great product from Rimmel. Latley my

skin color has been a bit uneven and I felt like my BB cream

didn't cover it completely. When I came home from a long

school day, the BB cream had also worn off so I thought 

I would try wearing foundation instead. I was skeptical at first

because I thought it would be too heavy, but if you just use a 

small amount it looks really natural and my makeup lasts so much 

longer now.

My wishlist

You can never have too many clothes!

No matter how many clothes I buy, I always want to buy more.
I bet I'm not the only girl who feels like that!
Lately I've been reading a lot of fashion blogs,
which have really inspired me.

I need more cardigans, I'm always cold so i'm
always wearing one. This one I really like and it looks really comfy.
The Chanel T-shirt is so pretty, I want it
in my closet right now! I think it will look great with jeans and boots.
Okay, maybe I don't need another scarf but this one is so big and
pretty and I think it will look so good with a leather jacket.
These chelsea boots from Vagabond are to die for, do I even need to say more?
I love Michael Kors and this purse is so simple and it's the perfect size.
I don't have a Michael Kors watch but if I had I would pick one in
gold or rose gold, it's just so pretty!

Cardigan - Monki
T- Shirt - Etsy (no longer available)
Scarf - Yoox
Shoes - Vagabond
Purse - Michael Kors
Watch - Michael Kors

-Purple Flamingo

OOTD - Florals

I love getting inspiration from other people's OOTD so 

I thought I would do one. This outfit has my name written

 all over it, floral skirt, chunky necklace, cozy cardigan

 and oxfords. You can also wear frilly socks 

with those oxfords. This outfit is great for winter and 

summer if you just change it up a bit. 

Cardigan - Primark

Skirt - H&M

Top - H&M

Oxfords - Primark

Necklace - H&M

January Favorites

It's the beginning of February, which means January Favorites!
I love doing my monthly favorites and i picked four things for this month.
I have three beauty favorites and one fashion so here they are

Max Factor Mastertouch Concealer
This is a great concealer, it covers my dark circles
and it doesn't leave my skin dry. I wouldn't say it lasts
all day but I think it is necessary to apply every six hours or so.
If you are looking for a good drugstore concealer, you should
try this one!

 Bourjois Volume Clubbing Ultra Black Mascara
This is my first mascara from Bourjois and
it's amazing. It lengthens my eyelashes and it isn't clumpy.
It doesn't smudge and the formula isn't dry.
If you want even thicker and longer eyelashes you should
try wearing the Bourjois mascara and the maybelline Rocket mascara
together.

Frilly Socks
These socks are from River Island but I got mine
in Primark and I've been wearing them a lot this month.
I wear them with boots and it's also super cute to wear
them with converse. They are also really cheap in Primark.

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 101
I have already done a review of this mascara
and if you have read it you'll know how much I love it.
It's the perfect pink/nude shade and it's creamy so
it will not leave your lips dry and it's a perfect everyday
lipstick.

That's it for my favorites!

2013 Favorites

Instead of doing my normal monthly favorites, I decided to do
2013 favorites! I have talked about almost every thing on this list except for
the real techniques brushes, which I recently got but I already love! I only have one
fashion favorite, which is my H&M skater skirt, I don't know how many times I have
worn it this summer and winter. I also have my Marc Jacobs dot perfume, my favorite
perfume this year. I also have my Ipad mini which i'm addicted to! OPI such
a Budapest, Nip+Fab body butter (read my review here), Organix renewing moroccan argan
oil shampoo & conditioner (read my review here), I also have my Maybelline BB cream and my
Burt's bees lip balm.
That's it for my 2013 favorties, I had a lovely year and I hope you
did too. I had so much fun writing this post and looking through old posts
on my blog. It has changed a lot since I wrote my first post last March.
Have a wonderful 2014!

The Carrie Diaries Inspired Outfit

I love The Carrie Diaries, it's my favorite TV-show

at the moment. Even though the TV-show happens during the 80's,

I still get fashion inspiration from the show, although sometimes it's

a bit over the top. I love that the costume designer brings a modern

twist to the clothing and Carrie's style. 

The look that i'm recreating is from season 1, episode 11.

I love that look, it's girly, colorful and it was so easy to recreate. 

I toned the outfit down a bit, I wore a brown/grayish coat (I don't have a

pink coat, but I really want one!) I'm also wearing a leopard scarf like Carrie's. 

My floral skirt is very similar to Carrie's skirt, i'm in love with it! Instead

of wearing a pink blazer and a colorful blouse I went for a pink cardigan and

a black top. I'm wearing polka dot tights like Carrie's but mine are black.

Then i'm just wearing black ankle boots.

Coat - Primark

Scarf - H&M

Skirt - H&M

Cardigan - Old Navy

(I bought it a looong time ago)

Top - H&M

Tights - Primark

Boots - can't remember, sorry! 

(This outfit is also not at all expensive!)

November Favorites

It's finally December! I love December, It's probably my favorite month!
Since it's the beginning of December I think it's time to show you my
November favorites. I don't have a lot of favorites this month (only one beauty
& one fashion!) but I promise, next month will be better because i'm going
to Amsterdam! I can't wait, I'm going to shop 'til I drop!
Let's get to my favorites!

I have been loving The Pepperment Tea from 
Celestial. I like drinking it before I go to bed
and it tastes like peppermint! If you are a big
tea drinker you have to try this.

I bought this Dress from New Look last month
and it's so pretty. You can make it look really fancy
or you can dress it down. Everyone needs a
little black dress!

I have worn the OPI Skyfall so many
times! I'm not sure if you can still buy it
because it's like a year old, but I love
deep red nail polishes!

M&M Peanut Butter is probably my
favorite candy ever. What genius thought
of this?!

That's all for my favorites, hope you liked it!

Winter Coats

A new winter coat is on the top on my wishlist.

All you need for winter is a great warm coat, 

boots and a scarf. 

I'm constantly looking online for coats, 

so I thought I could make a blog post out of it!

TOPSHOP

This gorgeous coat is from Topshop.

I love the zipper on the side and it seems

so cozy and warm. I think the coat will look

great with a big dark colored scarf and black boots.

BERSHKA

This coat is from Bershka. Love the

leather sleeves. This coat is not as warm as the

Topshop coat but if you live somewhere where it's

not freeeeezing, this coat may be perfect for you.

I reallly want to see how the coat looks like when you

have zipped it though.

URBAN OUTFITTERS

This coat is from Urban Outfitters. It's like

a big warm sweater. I think it would look better

and be warmer if it had a zipper. I think it would be

a great idea to buy a white coat or a light colored coat, so

you're not always wearing black.

NEW LOOK

If you want to go for the classic black coat, which

you can probably use foreevver, you should go

for this coat from New Look. It so chic but it still has 

that biker jacket look.

Fall Fashion

Last post was all about fall makeup,

so I decided to do a post about Fall Fashion.

This is just the first post, I promise there will 

be more ;)

1

This biker jacket is from Topshop and I love

it has leather-look sleaves. Jackets and coats

with leather sleeves are in for this Fall!

2

This knitted cropped jumper is also

from Topshop. You have to have

a jumper for fall! Cropped jumpers

look great with skater skirts.

3

The skater skirt is from Miss Iny

but I have a very similar one from 

H&M. The burgundy skirt will

go great with the grey jumper.

4

This knitted snood is from fat face.

You can wear it over your jacket/coat or

your jumper and it will instantly warm

up your look.

5

These ankle boots are from H&M.
They are perfect and they will
go with everything in your fall wardrobe.
6
The frilly socks are from River Island.
Wearing frilly socks with boots,
is super cute for the fall.

Prints

Prints are big for spring and summer

so I thought it would be fun if I would put together

all my favorite prints that will be perfect

 for spring and summer. Printed jeans will be big,

 as well shoes and shirts. If I had to pick one print

 to be my favorite it would probably be floral.

Adorable dress from Forever 21. The

print is cute, and the color as well!

Aztec printed hi-tops. Love this print

and the colors, they are a must-have for spring.

You can get it here
