Smokey glam

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I wore the Bellabeautébar Smokey Glam palette on my eyes for the first time, and I was not disappointed. The mattes are very blendable, and the metallics are super intense and incredible stunning.

Casual Christmas suit

Here’s what I wore Wednesday December 27. I went to a family Christmas get-together and thought I would bring out this red checkered suit again, since it’s very fitting for the Christmas season. I did a more casual styling of the suit this time around.

Back in sequins

Here’s what I wore Sunday December 24. We celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve in Denmark, so it’s a great opportunity to dress up a bit. I was really excited that I could fit into my green sequin skirt again now that I’ve lost the weight I gained during my pregnancy. Overall, this is just a very festive look, and I loved wearing it.

Monki sale haul (July 2023)

Now that I’ve posted all of my hauls including Christmassy products, I’m going to pick up where I left off with a Monki sale haul from all the way back in July.

I love a bit of gingham in spring and summer, and this pink wrap dress is just so cute.

I actually think the pink gingham dress would look nice styled with this checkered sweater vest.

I also picked up this pastel coloured shirt, which I thought might be a nice layering piece.

Yes, I bought another one of those oversized matching suits from Monki which I already own in several different colours and prints, but I just love them all.

Ans yes, I also purchased the red pair of the chunky Mary Janes I own in so many colours, because I love these shoes.

I also had to have these chunky, purple sandals with the same type of heel as the Mary Janes, because I love that chunky heel, and I love everything purple.

I don’t buy a lot of black things anymore, but I really liked the look of these little black mules with the big rosettes.

I don’t go for pointed toe shoes as often these days, but there was just something about these turquoise sling backs.

And lastly, I jumped on the ballerina flats train with this white pair. These must be the flattest shoes I own, but they’re actually really cute.

Favourite red eye look

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This is one of my favourite red eye looks I’ve ever done (if not my actual favourite). The particular shades and the quality of the shadows are just stunning!

Wear more skirts

Here’s what I wore Saturday December 23. I think this look is really cute and festive. Also, I really need to begin wearing skirts more often again.

5 favourites – December

Happy New Year! It’s the last day of 2023 and just as every other year, it feels like this year just flew by. I’d heard that it feels like time goes by faster after you’ve had children, and I agree. The last couple of months have been a little tough, but besides that most of my year was great. I’m hoping for many good days and experiences in 2024, so before we say hello to the new year, let’s say goodbye to the old one with some December favourites.

Pink Crocs Classic Crush boots: December has been a month snow, cold weather, and rain, so I’m so glad I purchased these Crocs boots back in October, because I’ve worn them so much.

Red bow hair clip (H&M): I’ve been loving the hair bow trend this December. This red hair clip version has been my favourite hair accessory to pair with my Christmas outfits.

Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin serum skin tint (shade: 2): I haven’t hauled this skin tint yet, but I’ve already worn it quite a bit, because I really enjoy this product. 2023 has been the year of skin tints and light coverage foundations for me, and this Danessa Myricks one is a great one, and I’m excited to continue to wear it.

Natasha Denona I Need A Rouge lip styletto & lip crayon in Gigi: I’ve loved these lip products ever since I purchased them earlier in the year, but they’re been such a great red Christmas lip duo. I’ve also worn the lip crayon with other red lipsticks this past month.

Love Actually In Concert: In the middle of December I watched Love Actually In Concert with one of my sisters, and it was incredible. I love Love Actually, and I watch it every Christmas season, and watching it with an orchestra playing all of the music in the film was so beautiful and a completely new watching experience.
