5 favourites – August

Posted on August 31, 2019 by Mucha-Lucha

It’s the last official day of summer today (at least calendar wise), and I have to admit that I’m really looking forward to more autumnal weather. I just find it a lot easier and more fun to get dressed for autumn, because you can layer up and work with different textures. However, when that’s said I’ve enjoyed the summer, and we’ve had incredible weather in Denmark this past week. So let’s wrap up this summer with some August favourites.

Lyseblå jeans m. vidde og Garfield print - H&M

Garfield print cropped jeans: I’ve been obsessed with these jeans ever since I bought them; they’re just the perfect pair of summer jeans. I love the fit and the cute Garfield print.

Sorte mules m. blok hæl - VRS

Black mule sandals: I bought these sandals last summer, and I did wear them then, but I’ve gotten even more use out of them this summer; especially in August. They’re really comfortable and they go with everything.

L.A. Girl Shockwave Neon eyeliners: I love wearing a bright eyeliner in my waterline, and these ones are super affordable and so good! They’re pigmented and they last all day.

e.l.f. Brow Pencil (shade: Neutral Brown): I finally decided to try to spend a bit more time on my brows, so I thought I would give a brow pencil a go, and since I love the e.l.f. clear brow gel so much, I decided to try out this e.l.f. brow pencil. As it turns out, I really like this. It’s really easy to use, and I think my brows have looked really good lately.

djangounchained

Django Unchained (film): I’ve been wanting to watch Django Unchained for years, but I have to be in the mood to watch a Tarantino film. It was exactly what I was a few weeks back, and I was surprised by how much I liked this film. But then again with great performances by Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, and Leonardo DiCaprio, what’s not to like.

Very random haul

Posted on August 30, 2019 by Mucha-Lucha

I have a small, very random haul to share with you. It consists of a couple of things that I’ve bought online and a few birthday presents.

Sort T-shirt m. Lady og Vagabonden print - New Look

I can’t resist clothing with Disney print. I’ve always loved Lady and the Tramp, so I had to have this T-shirt from New Look.

Mørkeblå Cortez m. bærfarvede detaljer - Nike

Something else I can’t resist is a new pair of Nike Cortez sneakers. This is my fourth pair and probably not my last pair.

Sorte pumps m. farvet ternet mønster - second hand

One of my sisters gave me these cute second hand shoes for my birthday. I love the colourful check print and the sheer fabric.

Troldekugler (fødselsdag 2019)

I love my Trollbeads bangle and ring, so I love getting new beads. My parents gave me these three for my birthday, and they’re so pretty.

26

Not pink enough

Day of meetings in pink

Posted on August 27, 2019 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Wednesday August 7. I had a full day of meetings at work, which was a little tough, but this pink outfit made the day a bit more fun.

(Trousers + T-shirt – Bershka, cami top – H&M, espadrillos – VRS)

Feelunique haul

Posted on August 26, 2019 by Mucha-Lucha

I’ve made one or two orders from Feelunique before, but I needed a back-up of my Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray, so I thought I would pick up a few other things as well.

Besides the UD setting spray, I also purchased another setting spray; the Maybelline Lasting Fix setting spray. I haven’t tried it before, and I’m planning on doing a first impressions post on it. From L’Oréal I bought two back-ups of the Infaillible More Than Concealer concealer. It’s definitely become one of my favourite concealers. I also decided to give the Infaillible Shaping Stick foundation a try. I’ll definitely do a first impressions post on that. Lastly, I purchased my first ever product from Lime Crime. I fell in love with the pumpkin orange colour of this lipstick, and it’s called October which is a very fitting name.

Autumnal skirt in summer

Posted on August 22, 2019 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Tuesday August 6. Even though this skirt seem more autumnal due to the colour scheme, I think it works great in the summer too, especially paired with a cute top such as this green floral one.

(Skirt – second hand, top – Bershka, sandals – VRS)

Missing dark make-up

Posted on August 21, 2019 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I haven’t worn darker make-up like this in ages, because it is/has been summertime, but I’m slowly starting to miss dark lips and deeper eyeshadows.

(Base: primers – Wet n Wild CoverAll primer + MAC Prep + Prime Natural Radiance Illuminating Base (shade: Radiant Yellow), foundation – Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation (shade: 110 Porcelain), concealers – MAC Pro Longwear concealer (shade: NC20) + L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (shade: 322 Ivory), powders – e.l.f.

Oversized

Posted on August 20, 2019 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s what I wore Monday August 5. I had a really hard time figuring out how to style this oversized T-shirt (dress), but then I pulled out my trusty old black culottes, and they turned out to be just right.

(Culottes + T-shirt dress – H&M, sneakers – Adidas)

A bit of everything; H&M haul

Posted on August 19, 2019 by Mucha-Lucha

It’s time for another H&M haul, and it’s a bit of a mix of everything.

Rød og pink gingham bikini Teal og pink badedragt

Swinsuit season might be over (at least in Denmark), but why not stock up on swimsuits to wear next summer now that they’re on sale. I’ve been wanting a bikini with highwaist bottoms for years, and I couldn’t resist this cute red, pink, and white checked one. I’ve had the teal and pink swimsuit in my saved section for a long time, and now I finally decided to get it. It’s so ’80s and I love it!

Sort satin slip kjole - H&M

I don’t wear a lot of black, but I thought it would be nice to own a little black slip dress.

Rød oversized T-shirt m. Pringles print - H&M

As you might have noticed, I’m a sucker for graphic T-shirts, and how cute is this Pringles one! I love Pringles and I love the colour red, so this was a no brainer purchase for me.

Neongul, hvid og pink ombré sweatshirt m. høj hals - H&M

I haven’t played around with the neon trend that much, but I thought this sweatshirt was really fun. I really like the ombré effect and the high neck.

Hvid og sort zebramønstret mesh trøje - H&M

I love everything about this top; it’s has a high neck line, it’s zebra print, and it’s mesh. It’s going to be a great layering piece.

Cremefarvede cropped fløjlsbukser m. vide - H&M

Last thing in this H&M haul are these cream coloured cropped wide leg corduroy trousers. I love everything corduroy, and I believe that I can wear these during all four seasons.
