Green eyes and berry lips

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love an elaborate eye look, but sometimes I just want to wear a more simple, monochromatic one. I think these green tones look great paired with the berry lip.

Not my favourite lip

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Once again, I had fun playing with make-up, however, the lip wasn’t my favourite.

Pregnancy tunic

Here’s what I wore Wednesday February 25. I bought this tunic at a charity shop back in October with the intension to wear it while pregnant. It’s not my usual style, but I had fun putting together this look.

5 favourites – February

February has come to an end, the snow is gone, and little signs of spring have started to show. It has been a long, cold winter, so I’m extra ready for spring this year. We were ill for almost two weeks in the beginning of the month, and the third trimester is giving me a bit of a hard time, so I’m looking forward to some time off before I become a mother of two. I’ve had more time to read and watch TV this past month, which you can see by my favourites from February.

Lanolips 101 Ointment in Raspberry Shortcake: This lip balm has been so good to me this past month. Being ill for so long, my lips needed the hydration, and this is so hydrating! I really like the scent as well.

NYX Wonder Snatch powder (shade: 01 Sugar Serve): I haven’t hauled this powder yet, but I’ve been wearing it a handful of times already, and I really like it. It looks really good on the skin, and I love that it doesn’t have a flat matte finish.

Bridgerton – season 4 (TV series): I was very excited to watch the fouth season of Bridgerton, and it didn’t disappoint. Benedict wasn’t one of my favourite characters in the former three seasons, but I really enjoyed his and Sophie’s love story. Now I’m excited to read the corresponding book.

An Offer From A Gentleman (Bridgertons #2) by Julia Quinn (book): And speaking of Bridgerton books, I read the second one in the beginning of the month, and I really enjoyed it. It’s quite different from season 2 of the TV series, but I really enjoyed getting to know Anthony and Kate on a deeper level.

Return to Half Moon Farm (Tilbage til Half Moon Farm) by Holly Hepburn (book): This is the fourth book by Holly Hepburn that I’ve read, and I really enjoy her feel-good love stories. This particular one is probably my favourite one that I’ve read along side “The Little Shop of Hidden Treasures”.

Two-toned winged liner

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I want to have fun and play with make-up before the baby arrives, and that apparently includes playing around with two-toned winged liner.

Zara + H&M sale haul (January 2026)

I have a collective Zara and H&M haul to share with you today. Everything was on sale except for the last pieces from the e.l.f. x H&M collection.

It’s always a good idea to buy Christmas jumpers on sale after Christmas, so I picked up this cute Home Alone jumper from Zara.

I picked up these four items from the Harry Lambert for Zara x Disney collection. The T-shirt is from the men’s section, but I thought it was really cute, and I liked the orange with the light blue. I love a sweater vest, so I picked up both the Mickey Mouse one and the Minnie Mouse one. Love the colour combos on these as well. And then I got one of the key rings, which is now living on my work backpack.

The last item I got in the Zara sale was this pair of golden mustard slingback heels with big bows on the front.

Let’s move on to the things I picked up from H&M, and let’s begin with coats, because I bought three; a long faux fur leopard print coat, a shorter bomber style leopard print coat with a faux fur collar, and a khaki green coat with a built in scarf. I love to have options, when it comes to outerwear.

These are the four tops I got from H&M. Can you tell that I’m into olive green and khaki at the moment?

I bought two pairs of jeans in the H&M sale. The first pair is for after I’ve given birth, and they’re a pair of flared jeans with a built in belt. The other pair is another pair of straight leg maternity jeans.

Let’s move on to accessories and shoes. I picked up four scarves. Is that a bit excessive? Maybe, but I hate not having scarves that go with all of my different coats, so now I have options.

I also got some white fluffy ear muffs, a pair of corn earrings, and an eye cream spatula and massager set.

And then I bought one pair of shoes in the H&M sale, which is this pair of faux fur leopard print boots. They’re very cute and comfy.

Lastly, I picked up the hand bag and the three perfumes from the e.l.f. x H&M collab. e.l.f. Cosmetics is one of my favourite make-up brands, so I thought this was a fun collab.
