Carrie Bradshaw inspired summer

Here’s what I wore Monday June 24. I had planned out looks inspired by Carrie Bradshaw for the entire week, but my daughter became ill, so I ended up only wearing three of the Carrie inspired outfits. But to be honest, I was inspired by Carrie Bradshaw most of the summer.

(T-shirt – Monki, skirt – Adidas Originals, sneakers – Nike)

Collective haul – clothes, shoes, accessories (June 2024)

My collective haul for June is quite large, so I decided to divide it into two parts. This first part includes clothes, shoes, and accessories.

I wore this colourful matching set in my last outfit post, and I think it’s so fun. The pieces are from a brand called Nümph, and I got them on sale.

The next five pieces are from Monki, and they were all on sale. I love a fitted roll neck top, and I think the lilac, red, and black is a cool colour combo.

As you might have noticed, pink and red is one of my favourite colour combos, and this stripy shirt is so cute.

I have this style of oversized blazer in so many colours and prints, and now I also have it in orange.

I also have this style of trouser in so many different colours and prints, and now I also have a pair in pink.

I wasn’t sure about these long, wide leg shorts when I ordered them, but I loved them, when I tried them on.

In my last Zalando haul, I featured the Jeffrey Campbell Akita lace up boots in black, but when Zalando had the white version on sale as well, I had to pick them up.

And speaking of Jeffrey Campbell, I also got these fun western style boots.

I featured this pair of Nike Cortez sneakers in my 5 September favourites post, and I’m still in love with them. It’s one of my favourite colourways that I own.

I love Maanesten jewellery, and this Lulu ring, which I got on sale, is so pretty.

I got three straw hats to show you. Maybe a bit excessive, I know, but I love a straw hat in the summer. The first one is from Topshop, and the other two are from a Danish brand/website called Black Colour. The rest of the items in this haul are also from Black Colour.

These are the hair accessories I got from the Black Colour website. I just love hair accessories.

These are the reason behind my Black Colour order. I’ve been wanting to add big flower brooches/pins to my wardrobe for so long, and I was so excited when I found these. The red and pink ones have been my favourites, but I like the champagne one with the pearls as well.

Water and air

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I used the Water palette and one of the Aang liquid liners from the Lethal Cosmetics x Avatar: The Last Airbender collection and both products were so good! I absolutely love this blue eye look.

Half a decade

Here’s what I wore Sunday June 23. I went on a lunch date with my boyfriend to celebrate half a decade together. I loved this outfit, and I actually got a lot of compliments on this two piece set (which looks a bit like a dress).

Pokémon fun

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I used the Colourpop Pokémon Pallet Town palette to create the eye look, and I think it turned out fun.

Lethal Cosmetics x Avatar: The Last Airbender collection

I was so excited about the Lethal Cosmetics x Avatar: The Last Airbender collection, when it launched back in the end of May, and it did not disappoint. It bought the entire collection and everything is so well done.

The collection included four 9-pan eyeshadow palettes; one for each of the four elements. I think all four colour stories are beautiful, however my two favourites have to be the Water and the Earth palettes. The quality is great on all four palettes though.

The collection also indluded four liquid liner sets; one for each of the main benders in the show (Aang, Katara, Toph, and Zuko). Each set comes with a matte liner and a multichrome liner, and even though I’m not big on liquid liners, I really like these.

Sokka, who’s also an important member of Team Avatar, and uncle Iroh are two of my favourite characters, so I was happy to see that they also got a product in the collection. Sokka got a beautiful glitter gel, and Iroh got the White Lotus highlighter. My White Lotus highlighter sadly arrived broken, so I tried to repress it. The collection also included the My Cabbages! sponge, which is super cute.

I’m also very happy about the fact that Azula, Ty-Lee, and Mai got their own lipsticks. The details on these lipsticks are stunning!

Lastly, the cutest item in this collection is without a doubt the Appa make-up bag. Appa is another one of my favourites, and this bag is so detailed. It has a little Momo on the zipper, and the lining has an Appa and Momo print on it. So adorable!

Primarily warm tones

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. My outfit might have been a mix of warm and cool tones, but my make-up look is primarily warm tones (with a cool toned lower lash line).

(Base: primer – Urban Decay All Nighter face primer, foundation – Urban Decay Stay Naked Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator (shade: 20 Fair Neutral), concealers – Rare Beauty Positive Light under eye brightener (shade: Light) + Rimmel The Multi-Tasker concealer (shade: 020 Fair), powders – Essence Brighten Up!

Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze + Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown. Lips: Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner in Warm Taupe + Oden’s Eye x Angelica matte liquid lipstick in Swamp Fog)

Didn’t last long

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The eyeshadow looks quite pretty in these pictures, but I recall that they didn’t last very long on my eyelids, which was a shame.
