5 favourites – October

Happy halloween. I’m going to end October with a halloween date with my boyfriend. We’re going to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas, which is very fitting, since we are only a month away from December now, and I’m so, so, so excited for Christmas! I had lots of favourites this past month, but I managed to narrow it down to five, so here goes.

Purple corduroy trousers: As you might have noticed (and I have mentioned) I’ve been obsessed with everything purple this year, and especially the last couple of months. I’d been wanting a pair of purple high waist wide leg trousers for so long, and these Monki ones are perfect, and I’ve worn them a lot. So stay tuned for many more purple looks.

Purple, christmassy sock slippers: It has definitely gotten colder outside, and I’m often cold, so I’ve been wearing these sock slippers (I dont’ know if that’s a thing) almost every day around the apartment. I know they have Christmas trees and snow flakes on them, but because they’re not traditional Christmas colours, I thought I could start wearing them a little early:)

Jeffree Star Cosmetics hand mirror: I didn’t think I would love a hand mirror this much, but I do my make-up very early in the morning when it’s now completely dark outside, and this mirror has been perfect to do my eye make-up in. I do have a standing mirror on my vanity, but it can be difficult to get close enough to my face, especially when I’m only relying on artificial light, so this mirror has been a huge help. And this was the last purple item (at least in this post).

Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane green tea: I’m obsessed with everything that smells or tastes like candy cane and peppermint, and this tea is so delicious. It’s decaffeinated, so it’s been my go-to evering tea.

Disney+ (streaming service): I debated with myself whether I should get Disney+ or not, even though I’m a huge Disney fan, but then my sisters asked me if we should get it together, and I said yes immediately, and it was the best decision. I’ve watched so many different things on Disney+ already and there’s still so much more, I’m exicted to watch.

Floral velvet

Here’s what I wore Tuesday September 22. I wanted to create an outfit around this floral velvet jacket that I’ve had for years, but that I think I’ve only worn once before. I picked red and lime green as my accent colours and ended up with this look. My favourite thing about this look might actually be the make-up (especially the eye look), which will be my next post.

Warm, autumnal

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Of course I had to match my make-up to my outfit and created this warm, autumnal look. That metallic burgundy lipstick is so pretty!

Inspired by Mulan

Here’s what I wore Monday September 21. I thought the Mulan T-shirt was the perfect match to the warm yellow/orange corduroy trousers, and the green Chinese jacket resembles the jacket Mulan is wearing in the print on the T-shirt, so I had to wear it with this look. I absolutely love how this outfit turned out!

Huge Asos haul part 2

Here’s part two of my latest Asos haul; the jewellery and hair accessories.

I’ve started to wear more golden jewellery, and I’ve been wanting to add some golden rings (anyone else humming “12 Days of Christmas” when hearing or reading golden rings?), and thought this one from Asos’ own brand was fun. I’ve actually worn it quite a few times already.

These earrings are by the brand Kingsley Ryan, and they are so pretty. I’ve actually already posted a look featuring these earrings (look here).

I’m still not over headbands and big hair clips. All six pieces are from Asos’ own brand.

I know this is not a piece of jewellery or a hair accessory, but I thought I would show you this Coca Cola key ring anyways, because it’s so cute. It’s by the brand Typo, which makes lots of cute and fun items.

Subtle golden eyes

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s the first eye look I did with the Jeffree Star Mini Orgy palette, and as I wrote in the haul, I was a little disappointed in some of the shades. I wanted them to be more pigmented. However, I do think this is a pretty, subtle golden eye look, and I’m obsessed with this red lip.

(Base: primers – Wet n Wild Photofocus face primer matte + MAC Prep + Prime Natural Radiance Illuminating Base (shade: Radiant Yellow), foundation – Maybelline Dream Urban Cover foundation (shade: 100 Warm Ivory), concealer – L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (shade: 322 Ivory), powders – e.l.f. HD Undereye setting powder in Sheer + Jeffree Star Magic Star Luminous Setting Powder in Translucent. Face make-up: bronzer – Maybelline City Bronzer in 100 Light Cool, blusher – MAC Glow Play blush in So Natural, highlighter – the Balm Mary-Lou Manizer. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 05 Granny Pants + Jeffree Star Conspiracy palette (shade: Tanacon) + Jeffree Star Mini Orgy palette (shades: Champagne Drip + Gagging + Glass Wet), mascara – L’Oréal Paradise Extatic mascara, eyeliner – MAC Studio Chromagraphic pencil in NC15/NW20. Eyebrows: Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown + e.l.f. Clear Brow & Lash Mascara. Lips: Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipstick in Are You Filming?)

Navy jumpsuit

Here’s what I wore Friday September 18. I’m not much of a jumpsuit person, but I bought this navy one back in the summer, and I quite like it. Here I styled it with red (navy and red is one of my favourite colour combos), but I feel that I can style in many different ways with many different colours.

Relaxed, effortless vibe

Here’s what I wore Monday September 14. We had a few more days of summery weather in mid-September, but I only had the opportunity to take pictures of this one more summery outfit. I love the whole relaxed, effortless vibe of this outfit though.
