5 favourites – December

Posted on December 31, 2018 by Mucha-Lucha

Christmas is over, tonight it’s New Year’s Eve, and at midnight a new year begins. 2019. How time flies! 2018 was a very eventful year for me. I got my master’s degree, I got my first ‘adult’ job (in only three days it’ll be my one year work anniversary), and I also moved into my first apartment. All in all, 2018 was a good year, and I’m excited to see what 2019 has to offer. But first I want to wish you all a happy and safe new year, and then let’s say goodbye to 2018 with some December favourites.

Candy cane earrings: Based on my recent outfit posts, you have probably noticed that I’m very serious about festive dressing. I love my Christmas jumpers, and I love christmassy accessories to go with them. My favourite festive earrings have been these cute candy cane ones from the UK wepshop Lisa Angel.

Rød velour scrunchie

Red velvet scrunchie: I also like my hair to be festive, and this schruncie has been my go-to hair accessory. I’ll definitely continue to wear this in the new year as well.

The Body Shop Peppermint Candy Cane shower gel

The Body Shop Peppermint Candy Cane shower gel: I love the scent of peppermint and candy canes, and this shower gel smells incredible in my opinion. I’ve been using it nonstop throughout December, and it’s another favourite that I’ll continue to use in the new year.

Suits

Suits (TV series): Suits has been on the top of my ‘must watch’ list for a long time, and when I was ill with the flu in the beginning of December, I decided to finally start watching it. I’m almost done with season 3, and I can’t wait to watch more. It’s such a great show with handsome male leads:)

My first Christmas tree: I got my very first Christmas tree this year, and you have no idea how much I’ve enjoyed decorating it and looking at it. I got some decorations from my grandfather and I’ve also bought some at different second hand stores, so I had a quite old fashioned Christmas tree, which is right up my alley.

Collective sale clothing haul

Posted on December 15, 2018 by Mucha-Lucha

I’ve purchased a few pieces in different sales recently, and I thought I would share them with you.

Mørkegrøn kjole m. glimmer prikker - VRS Rød kjole m. leopardmønster og flæseærmer - VRS Hvid, navy og rød stribet rullekravetrøje - VRS

I’ve talked about the clothing brand VRS at several occations. It’s a brand carried by a Danish chain of supermarkets. Somestimes you can find some really nice pieces. I had actually tried on the green dress before and didn’t buy it initially, but when all clothing at my local supermarket was on sale last week, I decided to buy it. I think it’ll be the perfect dress to wear on Christmas Eve (in Denmark we celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve). I also found the red dress and thought it would be a great holiday party dress. Lastly, I bought a stripy roll neck top, because you can never have too many roll neck tops or stripy tops for that matter.

Regnbuestribet dynejakke - Daisy Street

Multifarvet halstørklæde T-Rex strømper

I’ve also purchased a few pieces from Asos. The rainbow jacket is from Daisy Street, and the rainbow scarf is from Brave Soul (can you tell that I like all things rainbow). And obviously I couldn’t resist the adorable T-Rex socks.

Hvide støvler m. rund træhæl - Topshop Lilac Cortez - Nike

Lastly, I ordered two pairs of shoes from Zalando. I’ve been craving both of these pairs for a while, and when both pairs were on sale, I had to get them. I’ve been wanting a pair of white boots for a long time, and I just loved these ones from Topshop. I love the elongated shape and the wooden heel. I absolutely love my classic white Nike Cortez, and I thought these lilac ones were really nice. There was only one pair left at the time I bought these, and they were in my size. It was meant to be.

Beauty Bay bragging rights haul

Posted on December 10, 2018 by Mucha-Lucha

Leading up to Black Friday, Beauty Bay had a ‘bragging rights’ sale, and I bought a few things.

I finally decided to buy the Jeffree Star Androgyny eye shadow palette. Jeffree Star eye shadows are some of my favourites, and the shades in this palette are gorgeous. I’m really looking forward to create lots of different eye looks using this palette.

I already have one of these Milani blushers, and it’s one of my favourite blushers, so I decided to get a second shade. I chose the shade Blossomtime Rose, which is a warm peachy colour with a nice sheen to it.

Lastly, I bought one of the Jouer Long-Wear Lip Toppers in the shade Funfetti. I’m not into lipgloss, but this just looked so pretty with all the different colours of glitter, so I thought I would give it a go.

Christmas haul: accessories

Posted on December 7, 2018 by Mucha-Lucha

It’s time for part two of my Christmas haul.

Julestrømper x3

I’ve bought three pairs of festive socks this year. The dark grey ones with Santa and snowflakes are from my local supermarket, the green ones with candy canes are from a Danish store called Normal, and the light grey ones with reindeer are form H&M.

Juleknækspænder

How cute are these Christmas hair clips. I especially like the Christmas trees; I believe that I will get the most wear out of those. The Santas are cute too though. They are from Normal.

Øreringe med julemænd

I love festive earrings, and these glittery Santa ones are adorable. I found these at my local supermarket.

These pretty earrings are from the UK webshop Lisa Angel, and they’re made of sterling silver. They’re really cute and dainty and the quality is great, and I know I’ll get a lot of wear out of these. The candy canes are my favourites so far.

Christmas haul: clothes

Posted on December 1, 2018 by Mucha-Lucha

It’s finally December 1, so it’s time for my annual Christmas clothing haul. I’m going to split it up into two parts; clothes (jumpers and T-shirts) and accessories (socks and jewellery etc.). Let’s start with clothes.

Rød sweater m. rensdyr, sne og musik - VRS Rød sweater m. snemand og sne - VRS

Once again, some of the Danish chain supermarkets nailed their Christmas jumpers this year. I couldn’t choose between the reindeer and the snowman so I purchased both. The reindeer one plays Jingle Bells when you press it’s nose, and it’s just so cute. The snowman one has pom poms on it, and on the back of the jumper the snowman has melted and the whole text says ‘You are worth melting for’. I can’t wait to wear these!

Mørkeblå sweatshirt m. pallietguilander og julepynt - Only

If the two previous jumpers are a bit much for your taste, this navy sweatshirt with sequins from Only is a more toned down option. I love a bit of sparkle, and the details on this top are so nice.

Rød sweater m. julemænd, pakker, snemænd m.m. - H&M

H&M usually has a good selection of Christmas jumpers, and my favourite this year is this super festive red jumper. It has a lot of details, and I love the colours.

Grå sweater m. julemandshaj - H&M

I found this grey jumper at the boys’ section at H&M. I love the film ‘Jaws’, and I thought this jumper was a bit of fun.

Grå T-shirt m. rød metallic jinglebells - H&M Hvid T-shirt m. Wham Last Christmas print - H&M

I told myself not to buy any Christmas T-shirts this year, because it’ll be to cold to wear a T-shirt on it’s own, but then I thought that I’d have to wear something underneath my jumpers, and it might as well be festive. Both of these T-shirts are from H&M. The first one is quite simple, but I liked the red metallic writing. Of course I had to have the Wham! one, because I love a graphic T-shirt (especially one with a pop culture reference), and I love ‘Last Christmas’ (but who doesn’t)! Stay tuned for the second part of my Christmas haul.

Jeffree Star Holiday 2018

Posted on November 25, 2018 by Mucha-Lucha

Jeffree Star released his 2018 holiday collection two weeks ago, and of course I picked up a handful of products from the collection. I purchased three of the Velour liquid lipsticks and one Velour lip scrub. The white iridescent packaging is stunning and the glitter is the icing on the cake. The lipstick shades that I picked up are Karma (warm khaki green), Hi, How are Ya? (red w. glitter), and Triggered (dark plum brown w. glitter). So far I’ve only worn Triggered and it was so pigmented and absolutely gorgeous. The lip scrub that I picked up is the salted caramel flavoured one, and I love everything salted caramel. I think Jeffree Star created another gorgeous holiday collection this year.

Latest second hand finds

Posted on November 22, 2018 by Mucha-Lucha

Today I want to share my latest second hand finds with you.

Sort top m. glitter og v-udskæring - second hand

I’m always on the hunt for a new ‘party’ top, and I couldn’t leave this glitter top behind. I love the pattern in the glitter, and I think it’ll look great on top of a black long-sleeve roll neck top for the colder season.

Blå blazer - second hand

I always look for blazers when I’m second hand shopping, because all of my favourite blazers are second hand. My latest blazer find is this blue one, and I can’t wait to style it.

Sort rullekravetrøje m. grå striber - second hand

Another thing I’m always looking for at second hand stores are roll neck tops. This one has stripes which is just a big plus.

Marineblå og turkis stribet sweater - second hand

How cute is this home-knitted jumper. I love the colours and the fact that it’s stripy.

Sort midi nederdel - second hand

And now for skirts. I bought three skirts, the first one being this simple black midi skirt. I thought it would be nice to have a black skirt to wear for any occasion.

Rød uld nederdel m. Mickey Mouse - second hand

This skirt has a tiny, little Mickey Mouse on the pocket, and you probably know how I feel about Mickey Mouse or anything Disney related. I think this skirt would look really cute with a lot of my Christmas jumpers.

Mørkebrun maxi nederdel m. blomster - second hand

The third and last skirt is this brown floral maxi skirt. It’s very different from anything I own, but I thought it would be fun to style.

Lysegråt tørklæde m. leopardmønster - second hand

Lastly, I found this grey leopard print scarf, which I’ve worn several times already. Animal print has obviously been a huge trend for a while now, so I thought a scarf was a good piece for trying out the trend.

MAC Shiny Pretty Things holiday 2018

Posted on November 18, 2018 by Mucha-Lucha

Since 2014 I’ve been purchasing a couple of products from the MAC holiday collections, and this year is no exception. The collection this year is called Shiny Pretty Things, and it has shiny silver packaging. I bought two products; a face palette and a lipstick.

The Nutcracker Sweet peach face compact from the 2016 holiday collection is one of my favourite MAC products of all time. Therefore, I decided to get one of the face compacts from this year’s collection. I got the one in Fair (it also comes in Medium/Deep), and it consists of an Extra Dimension Skinfinish in the shade String Lights, an Extra Dimension blush in the shade Sweater Weather, and an Extra Dimension bronzer in the shade Five-Alarm Kiss. The Nutcracker Sweet compact didn’t include a bronzer, so I’m really happy that MAC included one in this year’s face compacts. I love the Extra Dimension formulas, and I’m really enjoying this product so far. I think it’ll be great for traveling as well.

I always get one of the lipsticks, and from this collection I chose the shade Straight Fire. It’s in a matte metallic finish, which I hadn’t tried from MAC before, but I absolutely love this lipstick. I love the finish and I love the colour. It’s a beautiful deep metallic red; perfect for the holiday season (and autumn and winter in general).

Another collective haul – tops

Posted on November 15, 2018 by Mucha-Lucha

Here’s part two of my most recent collective haul; the clothes. Well actually, it’s only tops. I’ve apparently bought a lot of tops lately and no bottoms.

Hvid T-shirt m. Mickey Mouse - Føtex

This first T-shirt I actually haven’t bought myself. It was a gift from a colleague who saw it and thought of me. How incredibly thoughtful is that! I absolutely love it, and I’ve already worn it (stay tuned for an outfit post).

Hvid Ghostbusters T-shirt - H&M

I love a cute or fun graphic T-shirt, and I found this Ghostbusters T-shirt at H&M a few days before halloween. I obviously decided to wear it on halloween (stay tuned for that outfit post as well).

Hvid T-shirt m. slogan bagpå - Monki

In that incredible Monki sale I mentioned in the first part of this haul, I found five different tops, and they were all so cheap! The first one is this white T-shirt (the third white T-shirt in this haul), and this is actually a picture of the back (the front is plain). I love red and navy together, and I like the idea of having the graphic on the back of the T-shirt.

Lilla T-shirt - Monki

I also bought this plain purple T-shirt in the Monki sale, because I loved the colour, and if I am to wear a plain T-shirt, it should at least have a beautiful colour.

Sort T-shirt m. glimmer og høj hals - Monki

This black glittery goodness of a top (also from the Monki sale) is perfect for the upcoming party season.

Sort mesh trøje m. multifarvet stjerneprint - Monki

This mesh top is so much fun. Just look at that pattern and colours! I wore this last Saturday when I went out for dinner and drinks with my cousin, and I wore a pink cami on top (I took pictures of that outfit too). I think this is going to be a great layering piece.

Hvid sweatshirt m. Farrah Fawcett - Bershka

This sweatshirt is not from Monki. It’s from Bershka, and I’ve been wanting this sweatshirt since I first saw it on Bershka’s website. I love the iconic Farrah Fawcett picture, and of course I’ve worn this with flared jeans and my Nike Cortez sneakers.

Bordeauxrød sweater - H&M

This jumper is not from the Monki sale either. This is just a burgundy jumper from H&M that I saw, tried on, and bought, just because I love jumpers.

Blommefarvet sweater - Monki

The last jumper is from the Monki sale though. I have the same style of jumper in grey, and I love that grey jumper, so I got it in this gorgeous plum colour as well.

Another collective haul – shoes and accessories

Posted on November 10, 2018 by Mucha-Lucha

I’ve been doing some shopping lately, both online and in physical stores, and since I’ve collected a good amount of things, I thought I would do a two-part haul; one for the shoes and accessories and one for the clothes. Let’s start with shoes and accessories.

Beige snake print støvler m. chunky hæl - New Look

I’ve been wanting a pair of snake print boots for so many years, and now that snake print is a big trend again, there are so many options when it comes to snake print boots. I wanted a pair perfect for everyday use, and these ones from New Look are just that. I love the beige and black colours, and they are so comfortable to wear. They also come in an all black version that I’m considering getting as well.

Blå glimmer sock boots m. chunky hæl - Monki

A couple of weeks ago, when my sister was visiting, we went shopping and found that one of the Monki stores in my town where about to move location, so the whole store was 50 % off. Some of the items were even further recuced in price, among others these blue glitter sock boots that I’ve been wanting since the hit the stores a while back. They’re are in a similar style to these checked boots that I’m obsessed with, and they’re just as comfortable.

Sorte spidse pumps m. similispænde - & other stories

The third pair of shoes I’ve bought lately are these beauties from & Other Stories. I felt like I missed a pair of simple, black heels for special occations, and these are so comfortable because of the block heel. And how pretty are those buckles! Oh, and they were on sale too.

Lilla hue

It’s getting quite cold outside, so it’s time for hats, gloves, and scarfs. I found this purple beanie in the Monki sale, and I’ve already worn it several times.

Lastly, I’ve purchased some earrings from the UK webshop Lisa Angel. I obviously couldn’t resist the little blue stegosaurus earrings. How cute are they! And I also thought the dainty earcuff was really pretty.
