Here’s what I wore Wednesday June 8. I really like this outfit. So light and summery. And I love the pop of red on the lips.

New clothes
I’ve been shopping quite a bit lately and apart from the second hand clothes I bought recently, I’ve also bought some new clothes (as in not used). The item I’m most excited about is the black bomber jacket from WEEKDAY. I’ve been wanting a black bomber for a really long time, and this one is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. The blue/white jacket/cardigan (I don’t know what to call it) is from H&M and it was on sale. I thought it was cute and different to anything else I own. The denim shirt I actually bought about a month ago. I’ve been looking for a new denim shirt, and this one from Only seems to be the perfect length and it’s really comfortable as well. I usually don’t buy a lot of basics, but I had to get the grey WEEKDAY T-shirt. The material is so soft and I really like the fit. Lastly, I was on the hunt for a dress to wear at my mum’s birthday party in the end of August, and this one from H&M is so pretty. I love the colours and pattern and the simple style of the dress. I’m really looking forward to style and wear all these items.
Indescribable lip colour
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love this dark reddish brown mauve (indescribable) lip colour. I think it looks really nice with the black outfit and the braided hair style.

Black summer
Here’s what I wore Monday June 6. Even though the weather might be warm and sunny you sometimes just feel like wearing black, and that’s what I felt like wearing the day I took these pictures.

Good Luck Trolls
You might have noticed by now that I’m obsessed with limited edition MAC products. I’m especially obsessed with limited edition lipsticks and I consider them collectables, but as you might also have noticed I actually use them and don’t just keep them on display. When I found out about the Good Luck Trolls collection I was really excited, because the packaging looked so colourful and pretty, and I’m so glad I managed to get my hands on these products. Initially I only ordered one lipstick and a beauty powder, but then I swatched the other lipstick colours in store yesterday and bought one more.
The lipstick I ordered online was this fun blue one. It’s called Midnight Troll and has a matte finish. It’s similar to Matte Royal from MAC’s permanent lipstick line, but Matte Royal is a bit darker and has a slight purple undertone. Midnight Troll is just straight up blue. And how cute is the name! All the names in this collection are spot on.
The lipstick I couldn’t resist at the physical store yesterday was this beautiful shimmery hot pink. It’s called Dance Off, Pants Off (how amazing is that name) and it has a frost finish. This is my first frost finish lipstick from MAC, and I can’t wait to try it on. It’s funny how frosty and metallic lipsticks have become popular again.
The product I knew I wanted as soon as I saw it was this gorgeous beauty powder. It’s called Glow Rida (another amazing name) and is a light shimmery beige powder. I wore it yesterday as my highlighter, and it was so beautiful. It’s quite a subtle highlighter, but you can definitely build it up which was what I did, and it just looks so gorgeous on the skin. This has to be my favourite packaging from the collection; that shimmery bright pink packaging is every make-up lovers dream.
Deeper summer lip
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Another take on the perfect summer make-up; just with a deeper lip.

Lips: Essence lipliner in 15 Honey Berry + NYX soft matte lip cream in Prague)
Pretty and feminine
Here’s what I wore Saturday June 4. I was studying for my exams in June so I was at uni on the weekends as well. I love how this cute white crop top makes the skirt look even more pretty and feminine.

Second hand finds
I recently did a bit of second hand shopping which I used to do a lot when I was younger, but haven’t done in recent years. The blue bomber is actually a men’s jacket, but I really liked it and I’m excited to style it. I thought the red blazer would be a great piece to add to an outfit for a pop of colour. The shirt and the skirt came as a set, and I bought it for the shirt which I think is really pretty, but it would be a fun challenge to try to style the skirt. Lastly, I found a little brown leather shoulder bag which I’m sure will look good with almost any outfit + you can never have to many little shoulder bags:)
Summer make-up
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love this for a summer make-up look; neutral eyes, glowy skin and bright lips.

Lips – Rimmel Universal Transparent Lipliner in 001 Universal + MAC Margherita lipstick)
Skirt love
Here’s what I wore Friday June 3 (the day I wore my hair like this). I’ve been loving this skirt these past few months. It’s really comfortable, and you can style it in so many different ways.
