October Roundup


 
As you can see me (and the blog) are all in autumnal mode right now. All in for heavy knits, dark berry colours and cozy afternoons. There haven't been much style things this months, but I've loved the lifestyle bits even more. My favourite posts have to be The Life: 5 Things I Love with a delicious soup recipe at the end and The Life: Study Hard & Enjoy Life.

The Week's Nail #13


Oh I'm loving my greys at the moment. Pairing this comfy sweater with Essie's 'Take It Outside' (current LE) has been my favourite thing to do lately. On days on which I'm wearing a bold lip, the grey nails pull together everything really nice. Your perfectly fine with two thin coats and the polish lasts for about 5 days without chipping!

The Life: Day In The Life

On Thursdays and Fridays I don't have any Uni classes or work, so I stay at home pretty much all day long and get other things done. I thought you might be interested in a sneakpeak into my daily life.

08:00 I wake up around 8am everyday and have a quick browse through instagram and twitter. 
 
08:05 I get up and make myself some breakfast with which I crawl back into bed. Whilst enjoying some granola I really enjoy cathing up on youtube.
08:30 Hoping into the shower whilst listening to some music (Hozier!). With a towel on my head I quickly apply my every day makeup.

09:00 Whilst waiting for my hair to dry I have a read on blogloving (a little obsessed and jennypurr are always on point).
09:15 Blowrdying my hair (for hours..)

09:30 Then I love to snap some blog pictures as the lighting always is best in the morning. And photos really inspire me to write blogposts and gather new ideas.
10:30 On Friday nights I have to hand in some small Uni papers so I get stick my head into my textbooks for quite a while.
12:00 Taking a lunch break is really important for me to keep my inspiration and motivation flowing. On days that me (and the boy) are off Uni we really like to eat out. There are some lovely restaurants just around the corner and I enjoy my lunchbreaks most whilst chatting to the boy.

14:00 Getting back to uni stuff. Exciting times!

16:00 After hours of reading I especially enjoy editing blog photos and writing up new posts. A cup of hot chocolate and on I go!

19:00 Whilst watching youtube videos and reading blogs I quickly eat dinner and relax.
19:45 Now it depends on the night. Some nights I'll be at home watching youtube or some netflix (Orange Is The New Black!). Some nights I will go out and have a relaxing night with friends. Just a couple of drinks and chatting along.
23:30 I give myself a little pamper whilst taking of day's makeup and hop into bed where the boy's already waiting to catch up on some netflix.
00:15 After one episode of our current series (read: obsession) I switch off the lights and fall asleep.

 What do your days normally look like? Do you stick to a certain routine or just give your day a go?
Lots of Love

The Haul: Málaga


As I'm really busy this week I thought I'd just quickly share a few beauty items I bought during my recent trip to Málaga. Being on a trip with three guys made me decide quickly whilst browsing the drug stores and I'm really happy with the products.

My favourite probably is the Dolce & Gabana Perfume in 'Dolce'. This has been on my wishlist for about 7 months now and I finally made the purchase. In Germany this retails at 65€ and I managed to get my hands on it for 31€ in Malaga, so I'm one really happy girl right now. Besides the really adorable packaging I love the scent so much and am so glad I've finally got it.

At KIKO I got some new Infinity Eyshadows for my clics-palette. '258 Mat Yellow' '275 Electric Blue' '257 Metallic Light Copper' and '213 Mat Cocoa' are my picks and I will be sharing a review of the whole palette and my eyeshadows soon. I adore the big range of neutrals that KIKO offers and am also glad that I purchased some brights as well to spice up my eyeshadow game a bit!

I also got the 'Eyes 201' eyeshadow brush. With it's wide angle it fits perfectly into the outer-v of my eye and with this I can create beautiful eyelooks in just a couple of seconds. Really impressed!

This year Essie's autumn limited edition 'dress to kilt' really is on point. I've especially fallen in love with 'fall in line' - a muted muddy green (looks way more muted than in this picture) and 'take it outside' a light cozy grey. Beside dark reds I love muted colours that just look cozy and clean. You will get to see these two on my nails soon in one of my 'The Week's Nail'.

Lots of Love

The Interior: Anthropologie Wishlist

latte bowls // leather and gold magazine rack // cream and purple ombre blouse // bottle caddy // 
copper desk organizer // textured dark turqoise bowl // ombre glass // textured mint bowl
 
I've put myself on a shopping ban for clothes and anything makeup, so I've been browsing homeware a lot. I don't really need anything at the moment and don't even really want to get anything new, but I enjoy browsing beautiful pinterest boards and homeware shops for inspiration (and early christmas wishes!). Anthropologie always gets me, especially with their beautiful bowls and kitchenware so I wanted to share a few of my favourite items. The bottle caddy is on top of my wishlist as I drink tap water a lot and would love to store it in different sized and shaped bottles in this caddy.

Lots of Love
