5 favourites – November

Posted on by

Finally! December starts tomorrow, and I can’t wait. I have an important day at work tomorrow, but when that’s over, I can relax a bit more and do some christmassy things:) I have actually already been doing quite a few cozy, christmassy things in November even though I’ve been busy at work as well, but I only have three more weeks of work before the Christmas holidays, and I’m so excited about that. But before I get ahead of myself, let’s talk about some November favourites.

Grey Mickey and Minnie Mouse sweatsuit (H&M): I never thought I would be the kind of person that would enjoy wearing a sweatsuit, not even on the weekends, but I’ve worn this one so many times this past month.

Christmas onesie: When I haven’t worn the Mickey and Minnie sweatsuit, I’ve worn this Christmas onesie. I bought this last year, and I didn’t get that much use out of it then, but that sure has changed this year. It’s so warm and so comfy!

Fluffy ear warmers (H&M): It’s gotten really cold outside, so these have been lifesavers + I love that I can wear my hair up and still keep my ears warm.

MAC Flashing Ice Extra Dimension Skinfinish trio – Light: So far this have been my favourite product from this year’s holiday collection from MAC. I love the Extra Dimension formula, and so far I haven’t been disappointed in any of the Extra Dimension holiday palettes.

The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash: I struggle a lot with spots, and I’d heard that Tea Tree oil is great for getting rid of spots, so for over a month now I’ve been using this facial wash from The Body Shop, and I really like it. My skin is not completely clear, but I have fewer spots now compared to before I started using this product, and it’s definitely one of the best products I’ve used to get rid of spots, so I’ll continue to use this for a while.

Wearing them again

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I also used the BH Cosmetics Nice shadow palette for this eye look, and I have to say that I really like this bronze and gold look. I also had to wear the Jeffree Star Velvet Trap lipstick in the shade The Perfect Red again, because it’s just so good!

Annual Christmas clothing/accessories haul pt. 2

It’s time for part 2 of my annual Christmas clothing/accessories haul. This part is all about socks, tights, jewellery, and hair accessories.

Let’s start with socks. I’ve purchased two sets of 5 pcs of Christmas socks. The first five pairs are from H&M and the next five pairs are from Monki, and they are all so cute.

I’ve also bought four single pairs of Christmas socks, and they’re all really cute too.

I’ve also gotten myself some Christmas tights from a supermarket; a pair with mistletoes and a pair with Santa hats. I’m really excited to wear these.

I found these gloves at my local supermarket a while back, and I just thought they were so nice and festive.

And now on to a bunch of jewellery. The brooch and these first three pairs of earrings are all from Flying Tiger, and I think they’re so much fun and very christmassy.

These pretty Christmas tree earrings are from my local supermarket.

All of these next pieces are from H&M. The ones with the red price stickers on them were on sale, and my guess is that they’re from last year, but that doesn’t matter to me. Just look at how festive these pieces are!

I have of course also purchased a few hair accessories. They are both supermarket finds.

And that was this year’s annual Christmas clothing/accessories haul. I’m so, so, so excited to wear christmassy outfits for the next month!

Naughty or nice

Annual Christmas clothing/accessories haul pt. 1

It’s that time of year again. Time for my annual Christmas clothing/accessories haul, and it’s a two-part haul this year. This part is going to be all about the clothes; jumpers, T-shirts etc. Part two is going to be socks, tights, jewellery, and hair accessories. Let’s get to it.

The one type of Christmas jumper which was definitely missing from my rather extensive collection was one with lights. This one is from a Danish brand called Julesweaters (which translates to Christmas sweaters), and I’ve had my eye on this one for a couple of Christmases now I think. It has lights in four of the baubles, and they light up when you hit them. I’m going to feel and look like a Christmas tree when I wear this.

Christmas and Disney are two of my favourite things, and when I saw this on shopDisney, I just knew I had to have it. It has pompoms, a bell and sequins. What’s not to like.

The men’s department of H&M always makes great Christmas jumpers. I mean, just look at these two. They feature two more of my favourite things; Coca Cola and dinosaurs.

And sticking with dinosaurs and men’s jumpers. How great is this one from Asos!

And now on to a couple of red ones both purchased at supermarkets. I really liked the blue details on the first one with the reindeer, and I think the gingerbread men and women on the second one are so cute.

Here are two that you’ve already seen, because I wore these in my last two outfit posts (check them out here and here). Both are from H&M.

I’m so excited to wear this matching sweatshirt and leggings set from Monki. I think it’s going to be so cute and cozy.

And last but not least, the T-shirts. The one with the sloth and the one with the gingerbread men are both from Monki and both adorable. The Love Actually one is from H&M (I love that film), and the Coca Cola one is from my local supermarket.

I cannot wait to wear all of these pieces!
