HOW I STYLE A SHIRT DRESS IN WINTER


Hello lovelies,

Today’s post will have to be a quick one because I’m jammed with the uni stuff and I need to study a lot. Yes I am under a lot of pressure and I can’t wait for everything to be over because I don’t like this feeling. It’s too much to handle people. Still I have to admit that it’s nice to just sit and write a post and relax. I like to share these things with you guys.

So my plan for this week is actually study nonstop because I’ve got an exam that I have to pass no matter what otherwise it won’t be good. It’s quite a hard one but I think we can manage it. I hope so. So my week is going great so far (sarcasm). I do have to admit that I went out yesterday for a cup of tea with two of my dearest friends and we chatted about everything. We haven’t seen each other in a month or even more so we had a lot to say to one another. We were there almost 3 hours which is A LOT, almost too much. But it was nice to catch up. We always laugh when we hang out so much that my cheeks hurt and I’m pretty sure I’ve got a six pack from laughter as well. They’re really the sweetest persons I’ve met in my life. So I think this is my most exciting thing this week. Also I’m going to an aerobics tomorrow so we’ll see how that goes since I’m not a huge sports person. It’ll be a surprise to all of us. I just hope I don’t injure myself. Otherwise I will be stuck at home studying and hopefully it’ll be worth it. I just really need to pass this one because it’s really ruining my plans of finishing the uni on time.

My post for today is a fashion post. I did this shoot a while ago and I have to admit that I’m really happy with how it turned out. It’s got that modern, edgy vibe to it and that was exactly what I was going for. I love wearing shirt dresses so I wanted to incorporate them in winter as well. I just think it makes you look chic and classy in winter and in summer it makes you look pretty without even trying, because the dress does it all for you. Since it is winter, I added a black turtle neck underneath it and these amazing pleather trousers from C&A. They look leather on the front and normal at the back. I also really like the embroidery on it. They go perfectly with this outfit. For my shoes I chose ankle boots from H&M which are very common in my wardrobe already. I also got this amazing bag that can be a shoulder bag or a rucksack. I already showed it in one of my previous posts (check here). The last thing is this gorgeous long marble-like necklace from Accessorize.

Let me know what you think of the outfit. Do you like wearing shirt dresses like me and what do you think of this combination. Talk to you soon.

DUNGAREES IN WINTER


Hi guys

Winter is kicking it hard here in Slovenia but that doesn’t stop me from taking more outfit posts. Thank god for my sister, because she is also the one dragging me out to take pictures with her. I have to admit it’s cool to have someone who is also blogging and these sorts of things. That way you get things done, help each other and annoy one another to get that perfect shot. So yes I’m definitely grateful for my sister.

At the moment I have a lot of studying at school because it’s that time of the year. All the exams and the presentations and I am sort of packed with things. Also I have a few jobs at the weekends that I do so that also takes up a lot of my time. Still I have to say that things are going ok so far and I hope it’ll continue this way.

It’s already 2017; actually already the end of January and I have to admit that I don’t have any New Year’s resolutions. I was never that type of person that cared for these things. I always thought that if I want something to happen or if I want to do something, then I should just go for it. I shouldn’t restrict myself with resolutions or with ‘New Year, new me’ type of things. Just go for it. If you want to go to the gym in the middle of the year, go for it. Don’t wait for the next year. Just do things as you go. I also think that if you do things the moment you decide to do it, then it’s more interesting and you actually care for these things.

I have to admit that I still haven’t figured out things regarding my blog. I like having it and I like posting things here, but I am very inconsistent with it. I don’t post regularly and I post about things I like-clothes, beauty, books. Because of that I think the blog is all over the place and very hard to follow. So no, I still don’t have a plan about this topic. But I know I will have to sit down and decide how I want it to look like, how many times should I post… just the formalities actually and stick to it.
So that is all I wanted to share with you guys. 

In today’s post I am wearing one of my favourite clothing items at the moment. I am obsessed with dungarees and I love to style them. These one are from New Yorker and they were on sale for only 10€. I just think they are so easy to wear and it also brings back memories from when I was little because I used to wear them a lot. Here I am wearing them with a basic navy top by Tom Tailor. Over it I decided to throw on this black and grey cardigan from Tally Weijl with fringes at the bottom. I love layering in winter so that is what I was going for with this outfit. Of course since it is winter I had to have a beanie. This one is from Primark that I bought 3 years ago. For the shoes I went with these adorable dark silver ankle boots from Jello that have a snake print on them. The last thing is my bag or rucksack that is from Top shop.
I also have a similar post to this when I was in Paris and I wore different type of dungarees. You can check it here.

Let me know what you think of layering. Do you like it or do you prefer summer where you just throw on a dress and you’re good to go. Also let me know what you think of the outfit. Have a great day guys.


Outfit:
Beanie: Primark
Top: Tom Tailor
Dungarees: New Yorker
Cardigan: Tally Weijl

MY GO-TO COAT FOR WINTER

Hi guys,

As I’m writing this post, I should be doing stuff for uni but I’m the biggest procrastinator in the world. I am obsessed with vlogmas and just Youtube in general at the moment. People post so many amazing videos that I can’t stop watching. But the main focus is definitely vlogmas. The other thing that is keeping me from doing stuff for uni is just me being lazy. I always end up doing everything else. I go out with my friends or I help Maja with some blog stuff. I need to stop doing that because December is the busiest month of the year, regarding uni and life in general. I need to do all my shopping for birthdays and Christmas and I am also going away with my friends at the end of the month to celebrate New Year’s so I also need to think about that. It’s just so much stuff to do and I’m here sitting in my bed and writing a post which is also important for me because I love doing this. I love showing you guys stuff, whether it is outfit post, makeup, hair etc. It makes me feel relaxed and happy when I do it. I hope you enjoy it as well. I just wanted to update you what's going on at the moment in my life - so basically vlogmas and sleep whooops. Oh I also rediscovered Tumblr last week so I'm going through that as well. Yay all the opposite of what I should be doing. Now let’s get on with what I want to show you today. 

At the beginning of October I saw a lot of ladies wearing long coats. I’ve also seen it in magazines and on TV. It was practically everywhere. Now I’m sure a lot of you out there think that wearing a long coat looks like you’re wearing a bath robe or something, but I’ve literally fallen in love with this item. I just love the length of it. I think this is definitely the main reason. The second thing that I love about the long coats is the colour. They usually come in light grey or camel colour and I love both of the options. So I decided in November to go on a hunt for something similar. I came across two coats that I absolutely adored. The first one was from s.Oliver and it was this gorgeous camel colour and the length of it was PER-fect. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the price. It was way too much for my budget so I decided to look for some more. Then I came across the one I’m wearing in the pictures. It’s by Dorothy Perkins and I also really liked it. The colour of it is a slightly darker shade of grey that I imagined, but everything else was great. It’s also quite thick so it’s perfect for winter, whereas the s.Oliver one was more of a transition coat so I couldn’t wear it in winter. So I think I found a perfect coat for me. I wear it all the time and it hasn’t failed me yet. I love to pair it with ankle boots because it makes it look prettier (I think high heels are the best option with these coats), but for today’s outfit I chose oxford shoes and it looks just fine. Underneath the coat I have a jumper from New Yorker and boyfriend jeans which are also from New Yorker. I love to keep it simple when I wear this coat because I think that’s the way it should be. It’s a quite simple look, but because of a coat I think it’s something special.

This is what I wanted to share with you guys today. Do you own a coat like that or do you prefer to wear a shorter length? Let me know in the comment and I’ll see you next time.

3 WINTER MAKEUP LOOKS PERFECT FOR ME

Hello ladies,

It’s such a beautiful day where I live. It’s sunny and quite warm even though it’s winter. Winter, as you all already know, is one of my least favourite seasons of the year, but I have to admit that I love different makeup looks when it comes to this time of the year. I can finally get out my darker shades of lipsticks and just experiment with them more. So for today’s post I want to show my 3 favourite makeup looks for winter. I have to tell you that they are the easiest makeup looks you’ll ever see because I don’t like to complicate things. I like to try new things of course but I don’t want it to take up a lot of my time. Yeah I’m a fussy person like that.

The 3 looks that you’ll see today are definitely something I wear on daily basis. I love to wake up in the morning and already know what I’m going to do to my face. Biggest focus is definitely on the lips. I am obsessed with wearing dark lipstick. I believe it makes the whole makeup look more fresh and sophisticated.


The first makeup look is called ‘’Dark Lips’’. For my eyes I used the Too Faced Natural Matte eyeshadow palette. I chose the darker shades in it. For the base I chose the colour Chocolate Cookie, for the crease I took Strapless and for the outer corner of the eye I opted for the mix of Risqué and Sexspresso. You can tell that the eyes are still quite nude, but I chose darker shades. The main focus is definitely the lips. I outlined my lips with a lip liner from S-he in the shade 003 and the lipstick is by Misslyn in the shade 119. I am obsessed with this colour, but I also like to switch this colour with the one by Mac in the shade A45 and it is called Quelle surprise. These two lipsticks are definitely my favourite berry shades. I sometimes like to add a thin eyeliner just to emphasize the eyes a bit.


The next one is called ‘’Bold Eyeliner’’. I must admit that I’m not very good when it comes to applying the eyeliner. I can never get it right. But for the last 3 months I’ve been practicing and I think I am getting the hang of it. When I wear eyeliner I don’t usually do much because I love when the focus is on the eyes. I do a bit of contouring because that I always do and then I add a nude lipstick. I contoured my face with Prime and Fine Contouring palette by Catrice in the shade Ashy radiance. On my lips I have a lip crayon Matt Lip Artist also by Catrice in the shade Best ROSEbuddies Forever. Lastly on my eyes I have a combination of two eyeliners which are Eye matic’ Dip Liner by Catrice (waterproof) in the shade Stay With Me and Eyeliner Pen by Essence (waterproof).


The last look for today is called ‘’Classic Red’’. I cannot have a makeup look that does not involve a classic red lipstick. I’ve always been a fan of them and I can never get enough of it. For this look I like to put something on my eyes as well as on my lips. Again I used the Too Faced Natural Matte eyeshadow palette, but I opted for lighter shades.  For the base I took the shade Honey Butter, for the crease I took Nudie and for the outer corner of the eye I have a mix of Chocolate Cookie and Strapless. I blended all out as much as I could and that’s that. Of course I contoured and everything and the last step are my lips. I wore a lip liner by S-he in the shade 004 and a Kate Moss lipstick in the shade 107. That is my look completed.

Let me know what your go-to makeup look is for winter. Hope you liked this post. Comment your thoughts below and I’ll see you soon.

If you have any questions about the products let me know in the comments below and I'll answer to you as soon as possible.

LA ROCHE-POSAY: EFFACLAR DUO +


Another beauty post for you guys :)

I may be listening to Michael Buble’s Christmas album and thinking about Christmas. It will soon be here so I’m definitely allowed to start listening all of the Christmas songs. It also got really chilly here where I live so I guess autumn is over which makes me sad because no more vibrant colours and warmer days. Now all I can expect are those grey days-who wants that? I just want snow and high temperatures, but that’s not possible so I’m stuck with what we have here (sad and angry at the same time).

I have to admit that with these colder days I definitely use more products for my body. The cold makes my skin so dry and dull. I love discovering new hand and face creams. I definitely need a good face cream to be honest, because my makeup game has to be strong 365 days a year hehe and winter is no exception. I feel my skin dries out quicker in winter so I always need a good base for my makeup. So today I want to share with you a new face cream that I recently received. It is by La Roche-Posay called Effaclar Duo +.

This cream is mainly targeted for people, who have marks on their skin from acne, for oily skin, it controls the appearance of shine, unclogs pores and many other things. My skin is definitely acne prone skin so I was really glad I got this in my hands because I am always on the hunt for new creams to cure my acne. I also have a lot of scars and redness on my face because of that, so I thought this would be a great product for me. I have to point out that with this product I wanted to see if it would be good as a base for my makeup.

When I first applied it on my face, I realised that little goes a long way. I didn’t have to use a big amount of it at all. The cream was so easy to apply with my fingers and it felt so smooth. It does have a slight tint to it but if I can work with it, everyone else can too. When I smeared it all over my face, I saw that it definitely had colour in it but it didn’t contradict my skin tone. Bear in mind that my skin is very light and almost none of the shades suit me but this one did its job.

When I let it dry, I applied my makeup. The whole makeup was really nice. I didn’t have any problems applying it on, the cream was absorbed quickly and it left no shine after it. Also my makeup stayed on for quite some time without me having to correct it. Still I have to admit that after some time I was a bit shiny on my T-zone. It wasn’t too drastic or anything but I still reached for my compact powder to mattify it.

The cream itself is very nice. It feels very light on your face, it absorbs quickly and if you don’t feel like wearing full on makeup that day, you can definitely get away with just this cream, concealer and a mascara and you’ll look great.

Regarding other effects that it says it has on your skin, I can’t just say it yet. I haven’t used the cream for that long to see any changes and to be honest I mainly wanted to see how it works as a makeup base because it is very moisturizing and therefore perfect for winter. It does say you have to use it daily to see the results but I didn’t. If you want me to test it for the reasons stated above, just let me know in the comments.

All in all this product is really good and in my opinion perfect for winter time. Have you tried any of the La Roche-Posay products? If you did, let me know in the comments below so I can check them out.

Where to get it: Worldwide

                          Slovenia

                          I also saw you can get it in Boots and other Drugstores/pharmacies.

Talk to you soon. Bye

Trend It Up | DM


Hello lovelies. Today I want to talk about a new drugstore brand called Trend It Up and can be found in DM drugstores. It is a german store so I think you can only get it in Europe. I was inspired to do something like this because I recently received a little package that consisted of a liquid lipstick and a nailpolish from this brand. Trend It Up came to Slovenia in September so it's a relatively new thing. So because I got these two products I decided I want to go to the store and get myself 3 new products and write a review about it because it is a very afordable brand that I think everyone should check it out.
In total I have 4 different products to share with you: Double Volume & Shine Nailpolish (270), High Shine Lipgloss (140), 2 Ultra Matte Lipcreams ( 080, 085) and an eyeshadow palette called The Colors Selection (020). I will start with an eyeshadow palette because it just looks amazing.

Zdravo punce. Danes sem se odločila, da vam bom predstavila novo znamko, ki jo lahko najdeš v DM drogeriji. Znamka je v Slovenijo prišla septembra, tako da je dokaj nova zadeva. Tole objavo pišem, ker sem pred kratkim dobila 2 njihova izdelka na Beauty  Bloggers Meet Up, in sicer en lep lak in pa tekočo šminko. Odločila sem se, da grem kupiti še kakšen izdelek in na koncu sem prišla domov s 3 novimi izdelki iste znamke. Tale znamka je res poceni in zaradi tega se mi zdi, da bi si jo morala ogledati vsaka punca, ki jo zanima nekaj novega.
Torej vse skupaj imam 4 različne izdelke, ki jih bom danes delila z vami, in sicer: Double Volume & Shine lak (270), High Shine Lipgloss (140), dve Ultra Matte Lipcreams (080, 085) in pa paleta za oči,, ki se imenuje The Colors Selection (020). Začnimo kar s paletko, ker je res prečudovita.


The palette consists of 6 shades which are more purply and dark. It's a combination of mattes and shimmers so I think it's perfect for both day and night looks. I really like the purple shades for autumn and winter and that is why I chose this palette. There are 3 different palettes in total. It comes with a small two-sided brush so you can use it for travelling. I swatched the shades on the back of my hand and I was really impressed with pigmentation. It si really good. The shades are easy to blend but are a bit more powdery so you will definitely want to tap away the excess product. The range of colours is great because you have shades for the crease, for the whole eyelid and for the inner eye corner. It's just great. I also really like the size of it because you can take it anywhere with you. I can see myself using this palette a lot in winter (and Maja's also liking it hihi).

V paletki imamo vse skupaj 6 senčk, ki so bolj vijolične in temne in so mat in bleščeče, tako da lahko definitivno ustvariš večerni in dnevni look. Vijolični odtenki so mi res super za jesen in zimo in zato sem jo tudi izbrala, na sploh pa lahko izbiraš med 3 različnimi paletami. Zdi se mi super za potovanja saj zraven dobiš tudi dvostranski čopič in pa, ker je majhne velikosti. Pigmentacijo senčk sem stestirala kar na roki in moram priznati, da sem bila res navdušena. Barve so res močne je pa res, da ko nanašaš senčke na veke moraš čopič otresti, ker dobiš kar precej produkta na čopič. Zelo lepo se razmaže in med seboj se barve super dopolnjujejo. Všeč mi je, da so notri od temnih barv do svetlih barv. Paletko res priporočam vsem, ker ima res vse tisto kar rabiš in ni ti potrebno zapraviti ne vem koliko denarja zanjo (še moja sestra je nad njo čisto navdušena hihi).


Moving on with the lipgloss and lipcreams. Lipgloss didn't impress me very much. I mean it is great and it apllies nicely but it's nothing special. It's not very pigmented so you can wear it every day and it's not very sticky so that is a big plus. As for the lipcreams I do have some pros & cons. First of all the shades are amazing. You have a big selection of lipcreams and I love all of them. I have a deep red shade(080) and a stunning plumb shade (085). The pigmentation is stunning and the application is great although I would definitely recommend using a lip pencil with it because you'll apply it 100 times easier-I had some struggles with the red one when I was applying it because I couldn't be as precise as I wanted to be. It would be easier if I applied the lip pencil first. Also when you apply it, it won't dry completely which for me is good because you won't be left there with dry lips and your lips will look more healthy. All in all they're great but I do have one negative thing to say and that is they transfer and because they transfer the aren't as longlasting as I would want them to be and you have to re-apply it. That is everything I have to say about the lipcreams. They're amazing and I will definitely keep using them because I like the texture of it and they are so affordable.


Naslednji produkt sta lipglos in tekoča šminka. Lipglos me ni nekaj navdušil, ampak tudi ni slab. V sebi ima nekaj pigmentacije, ampak nič pretiranega, tako da ga lahko nosiš vsak dan. Tudi ni lepljiv, tako da te ne moti ko je na ustnicah. Glede tekoče šminke pa imam nekaj besed več. Že takoj lahko povem, da sem nad njimi navdušena. Odtenki so res izjemni. Jaz imam dva in sicer rdeča (080) in pa odtenek slive oziroma malo bolj svetla. Pigmentacija je na vrhuncu punce. Zelo bi priporočala, da jih uporabite s svinčnikom za ustnice, ker bo s tem nanos veliko lažji. Jaz ga nisem uporabila in sem pri rdeči šminki naredila manjši nered na ustnicah (upss). Ko šminko naneseš se ta ne posuši v celoti, kar je dobro saj se ti ustnice potem ne izsušijo in zgledajo bolj zdravo. Edina stvar, ki me moti pa je da pušča odtis. Sicer me to res ne moti, ampak zaradi tega sem morala šminko nekajkrat na novo nanesti. Priznam, da me to sploh ni zmotilo, tako da sem z njimi navdušena. Definitivno priporočam njihove mat šminke, ker so res dobre + poceni so – popolna kombinacija.


The last product I will talk about it is their nailpolish. Again they have a big selection of colours so you'll definitely find something for yourself. I got this dark purple-ish colour and it's perfect for autumn. I was really impressed by it. You only have to apply one coat of it and it's done. You don't have to use 2 coats and that is something I'm super excited about. I didn't use the base coat or a top coat and it's holding out just fine. I did just wash the dishes and I can see that it chipped a little at the end which is to be expected actually, but if you use the top coat I think you'll be fine. All in all it is a nice nailpolish and the best thing about it is that you don't have to use 2 coats.

Zadnji izdelek pa je tale lak. Izbira lakov je res velika, tako da sem prepričana, da se za vsako nekaj najde. Moj je zopet bolj temen, bordo rdeč. Ko sem ga nanesla, sem takoj videla, da bom rabila samo 1 nanos, ker je tako zelo prekriven. Sploh ne rabiš 2 sloja. Definitivno je to največji plus pri tem laku. Pri nanosu nisem uporabila niti podlak niti nadlak. Malo prej sem pomila posodo in se na koncih malo vidi, da se je odluščil, ampak ne veliko. Prepričana sem, da do tega ni bi prišlo, če bi uporabila še nadlak. Lak je super ampak najbolj me je navdušila njegova prekrivnost jeeeej.

Trend It Up is a brand I will keep checking out because it made a good impression on me and I can't wait to go back and maybe get some face makeup- foundation, blush etc. Let me know if you know this brand and what you think of it. Have a great day.

Trend it up je definitivno znamka, ki jo bom še spremljala. Zelo me zanimajo še ličila za obraz-puder, rdečilo,... Je kdo že preizkusil njihove izdelke? Kaj si mislite o njih? Do naslednjič. Čauu

URBAN WINTER WALK


There wasn't an outfit post for a very long time so I went to the city with my sister. At first there was no snow but just as we decided to take some shots...
So I am still not sure if I like the snow on me. I don't know guys. Maybe you can help me decide and let me know in the comments. It just looks a bit wet and not clean. So let me tell you what I wore for this outfit. I opted for some skinny printed jeans which has feathers on it. It is printed in a vertical way so it lenghtens my legs. It looks amazing (I think). Then to make this effect even more visible I put on a grey crop jumper from H&M which is SO soft and cozy. Of course I had a basic white top under it. To make this look a bit more classy I added some accessories. I had this chain necklace from BikBok which is actually my sister's that she bought in Sweden. Next accessorie are midi rings-one is silver and one's gold.. Since it was pretty cold I wore a simple black beanie and a good old black coat which is also from H&M. For my shoes I had black ankle boots with a chunky heel again, from H&M. To top everything up I added a red purse which made the whole outfit more 'alive'.
I am really satisfied with this outfit and Maja did a gret job on these pictures. That just makes me go out in the city more, and take even more pictures of my outfits. Exciting!

Okay enough rambling. Tell me guys how do you like this more darker,edgier look of me and if you think I should continue with it (I actually really like it). How's your week going so far? Have a lovely day everybody.
❤

EVERYDAY MAKEUP


Hello lovely people!

I want to show you my everyday makeup look. That basically means what I put on my face every morning before I go to college or out with my friends. I am not an expert in makeup therefore my makeup is not at all something special or complicated. I mostly use all this to cover my spots and that I don't look very tired. I would love to experiment with it but I am not very patient with this and we all know this takes a lot of practice and time. I guess I am just satisfied with a little conealer and a mascara. And these two products are one of the things I use. So the whole process goes something like this:

1) Moisturizer (we don't want dry skin do we?)
2) Concealer. Mine is by Maybelline
3) Powder to set the concealer. Mine is by Rimmel.
4) Eyeshadow. Mine's Trio palette by Deborah
5) Mascara. I use the one by Maybelline-Rocket volum'
OPTIONAL (I use it very often):
6) Lipstick + lip-liner. At the moment since it's winter I like using dark shades. I bought one by Misslyn in the shade 119
6) Eyeshadow

Let me know if you are a big fan of makeup or is your routine something similar to mine. I'd love to see some of your posts about your Everyday makeup if you have. And this is how all these products on my face turn out to be ⤵

1st SNOW


The first snow guys. Whaaat? well it actually happened 28th December last year *wink*

It was really beautiful and my sister just said she wanted to go out and she grabbed the camera and we made some shots and of course we froze to death (almsost). We went to see how the forest looked. The untouched snow is so beautiful and special. It makes you feel so clean and calm. It really was a beautiful scenery to witness. Just look at some of the pictures and see for yourself. If you're a sucker for snow, then you'll love these pictures. I don't particularly like snow and the cold but seeing this kind of nature makes me so tranquil, special.
 Hope you enjoy watching these pictures and tell me if you already had some snow or if you live somewhere where there's no snow. Have a lovely beginning of the year.
❤
