Patterns and fabrics

Here’s what I wore Monday March 16. I find this floral blazer difficult to style, but I thought it would be fun to wear over the red and white striped T-shirt to create some contrast between patterns and fabrics.

Here’s what I wore Tuesday March 10. My mum wore the tunic when she was pregnant with my youngest sister. I didn’t wear it during my first pregnancy, but I thought I would try to style it this time around and paired it with other purple pieces.

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.

Collective haul – non Black Friday (November 2025)

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.
