Here’s what I wore Saturday February 28. It was raining all day, but I had to leave the house and I wanted to be practical, but still look put together, so this is what I ended up with, and I quite like it.
(Blazer – Monki, T-shirt – H&M, trousers – H&M MAMA, boots – Crocs)
I have a rather large collective haul from January, so I decided to divide it in to two parts. This first part is going to be the accessories, shoes, and clothes.
I picked up three headbands in a Boozt sale. The first two beaded ones are from Becksöndergaard, which is a favourite brand of mine when it comes to headbands. The third headband is from Marimekko, and it’s bigger than what I usually go for, but I really liked the colour combo and the iconic Marimekko flowers, so I thought I would give it a try.
And speaking of Marimekko, I also got this set of pins from the brand. I love a good pin or brooch.
Moving on to shoes, and I’ve got three pairs to show you. These raspberry pink velvet Bae Crocs had been on my mind, since I first saw them, so when I found them on sale at Asos, it was my cue to get them.
I keep seeing ballerina sneakers everywhere, and even though ballerinas were never my type of shoe, I thought I would give the ballerina sneaker trend a go. I opted for this more affordable option from the brand SEQWL, because I quite liked the unique colour combo.
The rest of the items in this haul are from Desigual, which is a brand that I’ve been intrigued by for quite a while, but their pieces are a little expensive. However, they’ve had an insane sale going on lately with a lot of pieces being 60% off, so I made my first two orders from their website. These fun heels were my second order. They’re designed by Tyler McGillivary, and I love the mismatched flowers and the colour of course. I can’t wait to wear these this summer.
This oversized puffer jacket was designed by María Escoté, and it was the most expensive piece I bought, but I’m glad I did, because it’s so good! It’s like a piece of art, and it’s really warm at the same time.
I also purchased this matching newspaper blazer and trousers set. I obviously can’t fit the trousers right now, but hopefully they will fit a some point.
I had to get one of the many Mickey Mouse pieces from Desigual, and I picked the most colourful piece I could find. I love an oversized T-shirt, and I think this will be fun to style.
The last piece I bought in the Desigual sale, you have already seen me wear. I wore this beautiful Desigual x Christian Lacroix dress at my sister in law’s civil wedding, and luckily it had room for my baby bump.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This was the second winged liner look I wore that week, and I like this look even more than the first one.

Here’s what I wore Friday February 27. I’m wearing a lot of casual and comfy outfits these days; it’s just more convenient when you’re pregnant in the third trimester.
(Shirt – H&M, T-shirt – Asos Design, jeans – H&M MAMA, sneakers – Nike)
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love an elaborate eye look, but sometimes I just want to wear a more simple, monochromatic one. I think these green tones look great paired with the berry lip.

Here’s what I wore Thursday February 26. I thought khaki paired with dark fuchsia and neutrals was a nice colour combo.
(Cardigan – H&M, T-shirt + boots – Asos Design, trousers – H&M MAMA)
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Once again, I had fun playing with make-up, however, the lip wasn’t my favourite.

Here’s what I wore Wednesday February 25. I bought this tunic at a charity shop back in October with the intension to wear it while pregnant. It’s not my usual style, but I had fun putting together this look.

February has come to an end, the snow is gone, and little signs of spring have started to show. It has been a long, cold winter, so I’m extra ready for spring this year. We were ill for almost two weeks in the beginning of the month, and the third trimester is giving me a bit of a hard time, so I’m looking forward to some time off before I become a mother of two. I’ve had more time to read and watch TV this past month, which you can see by my favourites from February.
Lanolips 101 Ointment in Raspberry Shortcake: This lip balm has been so good to me this past month. Being ill for so long, my lips needed the hydration, and this is so hydrating! I really like the scent as well.
NYX Wonder Snatch powder (shade: 01 Sugar Serve): I haven’t hauled this powder yet, but I’ve been wearing it a handful of times already, and I really like it. It looks really good on the skin, and I love that it doesn’t have a flat matte finish.
Bridgerton – season 4 (TV series): I was very excited to watch the fouth season of Bridgerton, and it didn’t disappoint. Benedict wasn’t one of my favourite characters in the former three seasons, but I really enjoyed his and Sophie’s love story. Now I’m excited to read the corresponding book.
An Offer From A Gentleman (Bridgertons #2) by Julia Quinn (book): And speaking of Bridgerton books, I read the second one in the beginning of the month, and I really enjoyed it. It’s quite different from season 2 of the TV series, but I really enjoyed getting to know Anthony and Kate on a deeper level.
Return to Half Moon Farm (Tilbage til Half Moon Farm) by Holly Hepburn (book): This is the fourth book by Holly Hepburn that I’ve read, and I really enjoy her feel-good love stories. This particular one is probably my favourite one that I’ve read along side “The Little Shop of Hidden Treasures”.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I want to have fun and play with make-up before the baby arrives, and that apparently includes playing around with two-toned winged liner.
(Base: primer – e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Poreless Putty primer, foundation – Milk Makeup Hydro Grip gel tint (shade: 2), concealers – e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener (shade: Fair) + Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmallow), powder – NYX Wonder Snatch powder in 01 Sugar Serve.
