Pinky red shades

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I feel like this candy cane jumper has a pink undertone to the red colour, so I thought it was a great opportunity to use pinky red shades for my make-up look.

Collective summer holiday haul

I know this haul is way overdue, but I feel that about most of my hauls these days. Oh well, I still wanted to do a haul including all the things I purchased during my summer holiday.

Let’s begin with a few second hand pieces. I thrifted both of these tops, and I think they’re very cute, but of course also very summery.

I also thrifted this little black shoulder bag; I thought it had a fun shape.

This next bag I didn’t thrift, but I got a great discount on it. It’s from a Danish brand called Silfen, which makes these fun and colourful hand bags. I’m definitely a fan.

I also purchased some second hand jewellery. The necklace is from the same charity shop that I also purchased the black bag from. I don’t like the chain, so I’ll try to find another chain for the pretty pendant. I bought both the red earrings and the silver ring at a flea market. The earrings are actually vintage and made completely out for plastic.

Here’s a closer look at the ring. This ring is made out of a vintage spoon, and I’ve been wearing it almost every day since I bought it.

The day I purchased the Silfen bag, I also purchased a pair of silver hoops from the Danish jewellery designer Pernille Corydon. They were on sale too. The bracelet is also from Pernille Corydon, and I’ve worn that almost every day since I got it as well.

Lastly, I bought two Body Yogurts from The Body Shop. They were also on sale, and I really enjoy this product. The Warm Vanilla scent is from last year’s holiday collection, and I had it last year and loved it. I also thought I would try out the ginger Body Yogurt. I love ginger, so I thought it sounded interesting.

Brighter version

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I had so much fun matching my make-up look to my outfit. I still think it’s a Christmassy make-up look, but a brighter version. I guess I’m really into brighter, more colourful Christmas looks this year.

Annual tea date

Here’s what I wore Sunday December 5. I went on a tea date with my boyfriend, and it was so lovely. I think it’s becoming an annual thing to go on an afternoon tea date in December.
