Monki sale haul + 20% extra off (July 2024)

I have a Monki sale haul to share with you today. It’s all clothes, but a mix of dresses, tops, and bottoms. Let’s begin with dresses.

I picked up these four dresses; two purple ones and two pink ones. I’ve worn the indigo button up dress and the pink one with the heart print, and I really like both. The other two are more fitted, which is usually not my thing when it comes to dresses, but I thought I would give them a go.

This kind of mesh top is usually not my thing either, but I think it’ll look nice over the matching rose printed slip dress.

I’ve worn both of these green shirts, and I really like both. The floral long sleeve shirt is sheer, but not too sheer, and it’s a great layering piece.

I have quite a few T-shirts from Monki, and I’ve added another two to my wardrobe.

I already had the blazer that goes with these trousers, so I had to complete the suit.

Lastly, I got another pair of capri trousers, which were all the rage this past summer. I do think these leopard print ones are really fun though.

Different colours every once in a while

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. And speaking of traditional Christmas colours, as much as I love wearing red, green, gold and so on during Christmas time, I also enjoy wearing completely different colours every once in a while during this time.

5 favourites – November

Happy December 1 tomorrow. I can’t believe that Christmas is almost here! As always I’m super excited about December and Christmas time; December is my favourite month after all. November was a pretty decent month overall though, and I discovered some new favourites, so let’s talk about those.

Crocs Stomp winter boots (colour: Dark Cherry): I’m so glad I purchased these boots on sale back in the spring, because we’re had some very cold weather in Denmark this past month, and these boots made sure that my feet weren’t freezing.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Soft Glam satin foundation (shade: 13 Fair Neutral): I’ve mostly been wearing light coverage foundations the past couple of years, but I’d heard good things about this foundation, which has medium buildable coverage, and I really like it. It has a lovely satin finish, and I just wear a light layer.

Rare Beauty Always An Optimist Soft Radiance setting powder (shade: Light): I purchased this powder back in June, and I’ve actually enjoyed it ever since, so I thought it was about time that I featured it in a favourites post. I love a powder that has a soft radiance to it.

Haus Labs Power Sculpt velvet bronzer (shade: Soleil Sand): I’ve been reaching a lot for this Haus Labs bronzer lately. It’s simply a beautiful bronzer.

KAYALI Lovefest Burning Cherry I 48 Eau de Parfum: I’ve featured several KAYALI scents in my 5 favourites post, because I just love their scents. I was hesitant to purchase this one though, because cherry isn’t usually my favourite fruity scent. However, I was so pleasantly surprised by this perfume. I think it’ll be a perfect scent for the Christmas season.

Perfect Christmas lipstick

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This metallic red lipstick is just the perfect Christmas lipstick.
