Here’s what I wore Tuesday January 20. I really wanted style up this second hand boucle style jacket/blazer in a comfy and casual way, and I felt pretty good in this look.

I have a rather large collective haul to share with you today. These are the items I purchased back in November that weren’t part of any Black Friday sales. However, quite a few of these items were purchased during Singles’ Day sales. Let’s begin with some indie palettes though.
I hadn’t picked up the Nomad Cosmetics Pacific Northwest intense color & chrome palette at launch. I was waiting for another Nomad Cosmetics launch, and when they launched their Christkindlmarkt intense color & chrome palette, I picked up both palettes. I also got a free gift with the Christkindlmarkt palette. Both palettes are beautiful, and I generally really enjoy Nomad Cosmetics eyeshadows.
I haven’t been interested in a Natasha Denona midi palette in a while, because they’ve had very neutral colour stories. However, there was something about the Bloom palette that I liked, but I didn’t want to pay full price for it, so I waited for the Sephora Singles’ Day sale to purchase it.
These are the other items I got in the Sephora Singles’ Day sale; the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer in N1, a back-up of the Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer in 1.3G Marshmallow (my favourite concealer), and a Sephora Collection Rouge Is Not My Name no transfer matte lipstick in 07 Pinpoint.
I’m always excited about a new MAC launch, so I picked up two MAC Dazzlelips crayons in the shades Cosmic Plum and Lunar Violet. I got them 25% off.
Here are some things I got in the Zalando Singles’ Day sale. I picked up another shade of the MAC Colour Excess gel pencil eyeliners, and it’s called Blueberry Milk. I also bought another shade of the NABLA Close-Up Blurring powder blush, and it’s called Lucky Rose. Lastly, I got the The Library of Fragrance Pistachio Ice Cream Eau de Cologne, because I was curious about the brand and the scent, but it’s too artificial and cheap-smelling for my taste.
I made an order from Niche-Beauty, because they had a 25% off sale. I’ve been wanting to try Lisa Eldridge lip products for a long time, so I picked up the The Holiday Ribbon Kit, which included the True Velvet lip colour in Velvet Ribbon and the Enhance and Define lip pencil in Ribbon; such a pretty classic red shade. I also got the Lisa Eldridge Insanely Satuated lip colour in New Wave, which is a beautiful berry purple shade. Lastly from Niche-Beauty, I picked up the PHLUR Vanilla Skin body mist, which is a lovely scent.
Let’s move on to accessories, clothes, and shoes. I got these pearl jewellery and bow hair clip in a H&M sale. I’ve worn the pearl necklace quite often lately.
I also got this faux fur hat in the H&M sale.
I found this boucle style jacket at a charity second hand store, and I actually wore it yesterday.
I couldn’t wear this Christmas top from Next this past Christmas due to my baby bump, but I’m excited to wear it next Christmas.
I love a coloured tight, and I found these purple ones from the brand DIM on sale.
I knew I had to have these M&M’s Crocs from the moment I laid eyes on them. I love the green colour, the glitter, and the M&M Jibbitz, and I’m also quite fond of the style called Bae. And that’s the end of the haul, and what a piece to end with.
Here’s what I wore on New Year’s Eve. I obviously had to wear the sequin maternity skirt again on New Year’s Eve, and I styled it with dark purple and turquoise, which I thought was fitting for an evening look.

I have my other collective haul from October to share with you today. This one includes clothes, shoes, and accessories.
Let’s begin with the two Christmas clothing pieces I purchased this year. The sweater vest is from VRS (a supermarket brand), and I bought it in a bigger size, so I could fit my growing bump in there. The grey jumper is actually a second hand find, and I think it’s really cute.
Moving on to some more second hand pieces. I got these three jackets; a patterned cropped denim jacket, a slightly slouchy checkered jacket, and a fun and colourful blazer. My mum actually got me the colourful blazer.
These are the other four tops that I found second hand. The oversized red cardigan is so nice, and I’ve also worn it this holiday season. And I have a weakness for second hand/vintage patterned shirts, and I think both the grey one and the yellow one are so fun, and I’m excited to style them up. I have an orange top in the same style and from the same brand as the dark purple one, and I think they really fun pieces. I love the texture, the shine, and the beading.
You have seen me wear the red floral skirt a couple of times during this past month, and when I bought it, I knew that it would be great for Christmas parties/get-togethers. The red dress was given to me by an acquaintance, and I’m excited to wear it once I’m not pregnant anymore.
I’ve got two pairs of shoes to share with you. How could I pass on the Mickey and Friends Crocs? They were quite expensive on some websites, but I did manage to find them on sale. And I like a bit of a western-inspired shoe, and I just really liked these denim mules from Raid.
Lastly, I picked up these four pieces of jewellery. The flower brooch is a charity brooch for cancer that is released in a slightly different variation each year in Denmark. I think mine is broken though, which is sad, because I only got to wear it once. The blue pearl necklace, the pearl bracelet, and the Christmas tree brooch are all second hand pieces.
Here’s what I wore on Christmas Eve. I had a lovely day and evening with my family; we ate a delicious Christmas dinner, danced around the Christmas tree, and opened presents. A very traditional Danish Christmas.

Here’s what I wore Tuesday December 23. We hosted a Christmas get-together for my family in our new house, and it was such a lovely, Christmassy day.
(Jumper – PULL&BEAR, skirt – second hand, tights – Sneaky Fox, heels – H&M)
Here’s what I wore Monday December 22. It was a day of running errands before the upcoming Christmas days, so I wanted to dress comfortably.
(Cardigan – second hand, T-shirt – Asos Design Men, jeans – H&M MAMA, shoes – Crocs)
Here’s what I wore Monday December 8. I was working from home that day, so I wanted to wear something comfy, cozy, and Christmassy.
(Jumper – second hand, T-shirt – Asos Design Men, leggings – JDY, shoes – Crocs)
Here’s what I wore Thursday December 4. I went on a date with my boyfriend directly after work, so I wanted to wear something that would be appropriate for both occasions, and I loved this look.

I have a maternity clothes haul to share with you today. Last time I was pregnant, I mostly needed summer and light autumn clothes, but this time I need warmer maternity clothes, so I had to purchase some new pieces.
I picked up three dresses. The burgundy knitted dress is from Only Maternity and is obviously the most wintery dress of the three. The long green dress is from Next Maternity, and the denim shift dress is from H&M MAMA. Both the green dress and the denim dress can be styled up for cold weather.
I got two pairs of trousers from H&M MAMA. You have already seen me wear the dark blue denim jeans a couple of times, and I’ll be posting a look with the khaki green corduroy trousers soon.
The leopard print skirt from H&M MAMA was one of the first maternity pieces I bought this time around, and you’ll see it on in my next outfit post. The velvet skirt with silver sequins is from Mamalicious, and I’m planning on wearing it on both Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
This burgundy long sleeve shirt is also from H&M MAMA, and I think it will pair well with a lot of the pieces in this haul.
These last two tops are not actually maternity clothes, but I bought them with that in mind. They’re both second hand.
