Here’s what I wore Thursday August 1 2024. So now I’m back to where I left off, before I started posting my Christmassy looks. I still have lots of outfits and make-up looks from August to mid November to post, and I’ll attempt to post the outfit and corresponding make-up on the same day, when I have to time to do so. This look is super simple, but really cute. Indigo and lime green is a lovely colour combo, don’t you think?
Here’s the make-up I wore with my New Year’s Eve outfit. I’d never worn face jewels before, but what better day to play with face jewels for the first time than New Year’s Eve.

Here’s what I wore on New Year’s Eve. I’d been wanting to wear these purple sequin trousers for a while, and they were obviously perfect to wear on New Year’s Eve. I think this whole look is so fun.
(Blouse – second hand, trousers – Crás, bag + heels – Asos Design)
I have a rather large Asos sale haul to share with you today. Some of the pieces I even got an extra 20% off. The haul includes a bit of everything; clothes, shoes, accessories, and make-up. Let’s begin with the clothes.
This little nautical inspired sweater vest is from Asos Design, and I think it’s so cute.
I believe tomato print and strawberry print and the like were quite popular last summer, and I just thought this tomato print blouse from Pieces was very fun and summery.
I picked up a another Spice Girls T-shirt from Asos Design. This one is grey which is not a colour I wear much, but I think it goes with a lot of different colours and acts like a neutral.
Like so many other people, I’ve been liking animal print, and I thought this jacket from Only was fun with the leopard print faux fur trims.
This matching set/suit from Asos Design is just so nice, and I can’t wait to style it and wear it.
I got two blue (and white) dresses from Asos Design. Both are super cute.
The last piece of clothing I picked up was (another) pair of red tights. I just love a coloured tight, and especially a red pair. These are from Asos Design.
These two pairs of heels are kind of in the same family; they’re both a shade of pink and strappy with a red detail on the front. The ones with the cherries are from Public Desire and the ones with the roses are from Glamorous.
Let’s move on to accessories. I think a tie is a really nice accessory that I want to wear more often, so I picked up these two checkered ties from the brand My Accessories.
How cute is this chain belt from Asos Design? It adds such a lovely detail to an outfit.
I saw a lot of cherry jewellery last summer as well, and this matching necklace and pair of earrings are from DesignB London.
Here’s another cute matching necklace and earrings set. Bows were popular pretty much all of last year, and these pieces from Asos Design are so cute and pretty.
And speaking of bows, I also picked up a golden necklace with a bow from Pieces, which is also very pretty. The other necklace is from Asos Design, and I really like the pearls and the malakit.
I also picked up these three pieces from Asos Design; a golden bangle with hearts, another style of cherry earrings, and a ring with a circle design.
The last jewellery in this haul is this set of two anklets or ankle bracelets from Topshop.
For hair accessories I got a purple beaded headband from My Accessories. You know I love a headband and I really like a beaded one. I also love bows in my hair, so I got two small hair clips from Reclaimed Vintage and a big pink and red striped one from DesignB London.
Lastly, I bought three make-up products. I got the Huda Beauty Liquid Blush Filter in Strawberry Cream, the Clinique Pop longwear lipstick in Poppy Pop, and the e.l.f. Cosmetics Power Grip dewy setting spray.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I hadn’t done a lot of red and gold make-up looks this past Christmas season, so I thought it was appropriate to make my last Christmas make-up look of the season a red and gold one.

Here’s what I wore Saturday December 28. I went to a family Christmas get-together, and I thought I would wear this matching sweater vest and skirt set that I hadn’t worn together in years. The reason is that I don’t like short skirts and dresses, but I thought the skirt looked kind of cute with the santa tights.
(Shirt – second hand, sweater vest + skirt + heels – Monki, bag – NA-KD, tights – Netto)
Here’s what I wore Friday December 27. I think it’s been a couple of years since the last time I wore this candy cane jumper, so I wanted to style it and wear it before the year (and Christmas) was over.
Here’s the make-up I wore with my Christmas Eve outfit. I wore the Dede Signature Jingle Bell Ruby palette on my eyes, and as you can see it was a perfect match for my outfit.

I hope everyone had a great start to 2025. Let’s begin the new year with a throwback to Christmas Eve, because this is what I wore. I bought this dress in H&M’s Cyber Monday sale, and I think it’s so pretty.
