5 favourites – September

The first month of autumn is now over, which means that we’re one month closer to December:) Work is super busy these days, but the autumn break is just around the corner, and I can’t wait! But first, here are some of my favourite things from the past month.

Rød quilted jakke m. blomstermønster og fløjlskrave - Monki

Red quilted jacket: In my May favourites, I featured the navy version of this jacket, and this red one has definitely become a favourite as well. I just love the quilted fabric, the shape of the jacket, and the corduroy details.

Beige baggy bukser m. lynlåse - second hand

Beige baggy trousers: I bought these trousers second hand about a year ago, and I’ve definitely worn them throughout the year, but this month I seem to have worn them quite a bit. They’re a part of one of my favourite outfits I’ve worn this year (which I’ll post soon), so I think it was about time that I’d feature them in a favourites post.

Hårbøjler

Headbands: I’m a huge fan of hair accessories, and my favourite kind this past month has been the headband. This is just a selection of the ones I’ve worn, and I have a feeling that I’ll continue to wear them for a while.

Wet n Wild Photofocus pressed powder (shade: Warm Light): I often go for a translucent powder, but I’ve really enjoyed using this coloured powder from Wet n Wild. It’s great for days where I’ve have lots of break-outs, because it provides more coverage than a translucent powder (obviously), but it’s not heavy or cakey on the skin.

Elton John plade

The Very Best of Elton John (record): I found some great records at a fleamarket this summer, among those this Elton John one. It contains two double sided records, and they’re filled with classic Elton John songs. It’s been my go-to record this past month.

Jumpsuit

Here’s what I wore Tuesday September 3. It you don’t know what to wear and you don’t have time to figure it out, a jumpsuit like this one is the perfect solution. This outfit is so simple, yet so much fun.

Third BeautyBay sale haul of 2019

DSC_8571

BeautyBay has had some great sales this year so far! This time I bought four Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour liquid lipsticks, two eyeshadow palettes, and a highlighter, the highlighter being the Milani Strobelight Instant Glow powder in the shade Afterglow. This is one of my favourite highlighters, but the one I had broke, so I had to get a new one.

The four Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipsticks that I purchased in the latest BeautyBay sale are (from top to bottom) Delicious (Star Family collection), Mannequin (main collection), Bronze Blood (Summer 2019 collection), and Fudge Pop (Summer 2018 collection). These are all on the more neutral side of things, but I’m really excited to wear all of these.

I love the Wet n Wild Color Icon eyeshadow palettes, and even though I have the original Comfort Zone palette, which I love, I still wanted to add the newer version to my collection as well. This one has two additional matte shades that the original palette doesn’t have, so this one is more travel friendly.

Last, but most certainly not least, I’ve finally added the Tribe palette by Juvia’s Place to my eyeshadow collection. I’ve been drooling over this palette since it launched, and I’m so excited to play with this palette. I think the colour story is absolutely stunning.

Khaki summer

The last day of summer

Here’s what I wore Saturday night August 31. It was not only the last day of summer calendar wise, it was also the last day of summer weather in Denmark. The next day (September 1) was rainy and grey and felt very autumnal.

Autumn H&M haul: tops + accessories

I’m so excited about dressing up for autumn, so I’ve bought some new autumnal pieces from H&M.

Gul, sort og cremefarvet mønstret rullekravetrøje - H&M x Richard AllenBrun, gul og cremefarvet mønstret rullekravetrøje - H&M x Richard AllenSort og beige mønstret rullekravetrøje - H&M x Richard Allen

I love this style of fitted thin roll neck top from H&M. I have a black one and a leopard print one that I’ve worn so much, so I was really excited to find these gorgeous printed ones from the Richard Allan x H&M collection. The prints are inspired by retro scarf prints, and I love it!

Brun og beige gepardmønstret rullekravetrøje - H&MBrun og beige zebramønstret rullekravetrøje - H&M

And if three new roll necks weren’t enough, I also purchased these two animal print ones. These are just the best layering pieces for autumn and winter.

Lyserød sweatshirt m. Wonder Woman print - H&M

This sweatshirt isn’t particularly autumnal, but it’s definitely cosy, and I love the colours.

Beige fløjlsblazer - H&M

This might be the perfect corduroy blazer. The fit is great and the colour is delicious. I can’t wait to style this in all kinds of different ways.

Kamel + vinrøde strømpebukser

It’s season for tights again, and I would like to add some more colourful tights to my wardrobe starting with these autumnal ones.

Navy baker boy hat - H&MGråternet beret - H&M

It’s also hat season again, which I’m very excited about. My two preferred styles of hats for autumn and winter are baker boys and berets, so I added these two to my hat collection.

Summery print mixing

DSC_8458DSC_8460

Here’s what I wore Monday August 26. Is was a hot day as you can guess by the outfit. I actually find it quite difficult to dress for summer, because you want to wear as little clothes as possible in the heat. That’s why I think print mixing is a great way to make a summer outfit more interesting.
