5 favourites – November

November has come to an end, and what a busy month it was. We moved into our new house last weekend, and I always forget how crazy it is to move. We also went to our second trimester scan, and everything was great with baby, so we’re very grateful for that. December has never come around this quickly before, and I don’t feel quite ready for it, which is very unlike me. As you might know, I’m a very Christmassy person. I love the Christmas season, but due to the move, I haven’t been able to fully decorate yet, but I did get to decorate the Christmas tree with my family today, so I’m very excited about that. Anyways, before I dive head first into my favourite month of the year, let’s talk about some of my favourite things from the month of November.

Caged Crocs (colour: Grapeberry): You know I love Crocs of all kinds, and ever since I first saw the Caged version, I knew I had to have a pair. These are probably the chunkiest Crocs I own, but they’re really comfy and really cool, if you ask me.

Essence Soft Touch eyeshadow (shade: 01 The One): I always have a single matte cream coloured eyeshadow in my collection that I use all the time, and Essence makes great cream coloured single eyeshadows.

NABLA Close-Up blurring powder blushes (shades: Endorphin + Lucky Rose): I usually prefer a satin or glowy blush, but this is one of the best matte blush formulas, I’ve tried. The red shade is my favourite, and I’ve already worn it many times (hence the dirty packaging), but the warm pink shade is beautiful too.

PHLUR Heavy Cream body mist: I really enjoy all the body mists I purchased from PHLUR, but my favourite and most used one so far is the Heavy Cream one. It smells like dessert.

The Cinnamon Bun Book Store – Laurie Gilmore (book): I didn’t have much time to read in November due to our move, but I read the second book in the Dream Harbour series, and I enjoyed getting to know more of the characters better.

Asos sale haul (August 2025)

I have a rather large Asos sale haul to share with you today. It includes shoes, a bunch of accessories, and a few make-up bits. Let’s begin with the shoes.

I picked up two pairs of shoes. The purple Ramsey creepers are my first ever pair of Dr. Martens shoes. I’ve had my eye on these ones for quite a while, because I used to love a creeper and purple is my favourite colour. The brown sandals are from a brand called London Rebel.

I got a pair of black houndstooth-patterned tights from Lindex.

I picked up these two belts both from Asos Design. I would like to add belts to my looks more often.

Shoe clips have been a more recent discovery for me, and I like the idea of decorating my shoes. These two pairs are both from Asos Design.

I’m always on the hunt for more golden rings, so I got these three from Asos Design. The first two came in a set.

I love a pair of statement earrings, so I picked up these five pairs. The top three pairs are from Asos Design, and the bottom two pairs are from Reclaimed Vintage and Topshop respectively.

These are the three (or four to be exact) bracelets I bought. The golden bangle is from the brand South Beach. The orange bangle and the two golden bracelets are from Asos Design.

I got one hair accessory, which is this pretty burgundy hair clip from Asos Design. The brooch is also from Asos Design.

As you know, I like brooches, so I also picked up all of these pretty golden ones from Asos Design.

Lastly, I got these three make-up products and a brush. I got the e.l.f Cosmetics Stain & Tint blending brush, the e.l.f Cosmetics Sheer for It Blush Tinit in Left on Red, the e.l.f Cosmetics Halo Glow skin tint SPF 50 in 1 Fair Neutral, and a back-up of the Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte liquid concealer (shade: 1.3G Marshmellow).

Collective haul – the rest (August 2025)

This haul consists of the other items I purchased back in August; make-up, clothes, accessories, and shoes. It’s mostly make-up though, so let’s begin there.

I don’t buy products from R.E.M. Beauty that often, but I was intrigued by their Fembot products, so I got the eyeshadow singlet, the Eclipse glow stick, and the On Your Collar plumping gloss. The shade is beautiful, but I’m not in love with any of these products to be honest.

I haven’t purchased a mini palette from Natasha Denona in a while, but I liked the look of the Mini Gloom palette. I wore it here.

These two blush formulas had been on my wishlist for a while, and I’m glad to have added both to my collection, because they’re beautiful blushes. The first one is the Ilia Soft Focus blurring blush in Sensation, and the second one is the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch matte bouncy blush in Grateful.

I’ve been wanting to try both of these blush formulas as well, and both are fun and colourful. The NYX Fat Cheeks blush in 8 Blueberry Burst is a purple liquid blush, and the fwee Lip & Cheek Blurry Pudding Pot in D-Day is a red mousse cream blush.

The last blush I picked up is the Morphe Cheek Thrills multi-finish face trio in Cabana Club. Another red blush, I know, but red is my favourite blush colour.

I’ve already featured both of these products in 5 favourites posts, so I obviously enjoy them. It’s the Maybelline Fit Me BB Nude cream SPF 50 in 10, and the Fenty Beauty Bright Fix Instant Brightening + Blurring powder in Lavender 01.

I have one piece of clothing, one accessory, and one pair of shoes to share with you. The piece of clothing is this red sweater vest from H&M, which I think will be very versatile.

The accessory or accessories I got is this set of brooches from Marimekko. Aren’t they cute?

And I might have saved the best for last. I’ve been wanting a pair of Caged Crocs ever since I first saw them, so when they came to Zalando in this grapeberry colour, I picked them up immediately, and I love them!

5 favourites – October

Happy Halloween! Can you believe that it’s the last day of October?! A lot of things have happened in the past month, or actually the past couple of months, one thing being that we bought a house, and we’re getting the keys later on today! I can’t believe that the day is finally here. November will be all about getting the house ready and moving in, so my family will definitely be busy the next month or two. But before getting too busy, let’s talk about some of my favourite things from the month of October.

Denim Nike Cortez sneakers: These blue denim Nike Cortez sneakers has without a doubt been my most worn pair of shoes this past month. They just go with pretty much everything.

Catrice Drunk’n Diamonds eyeshadow sticks: I haven’t hauled these eyeshadow sticks yet, but I wore them here, and I loved them! As I wrote in the make-up post, they’re some of the best eyeshadow sticks I’ve ever tried! I wish Catrice would extend the shade range (they do have one more shade that I’ve also purchased), because I would buy them all.

L’Oréal Panorama volume million lashes mascara (shade: Black): It’s been a while since the last time I tried a new black mascara that I like as much as this one. The wand works for me, it looks great on the lashes, and it doesn’t transfer onto my eyelids.

Beverly Hills 90210 – season 1 (TV series): I know, how have I not watched Beverly Hills 90210 until now? I don’t have an answer to that but I finally decided to start watching the series this month, and I loved the first season. I’ve only watched a few episodes of season 2, so that’s why I’m only featuring season 1 here (for now).

The Pumpkin Spice Café – Laurie Gilmore (book): I have yet another book favourite this month, and this was the last book I finished in October. If you like the small town vibes of Gilmore Girls with a few more steamy interactions, this is for you.

Collective haul – shoes and accessories (June/July 2025)

I’ve decided to put my collective hauls from June and July together and then divide them into three parts; shoes and accessories, clothes, and beauty. Today’s haul is all about shoes and accessories.

I’ve purchased two more pairs of Nike Cortez sneakers, and for once, I got them right at launch instead of waiting for them to go on sale. I’ve always wanted a pair of red Cortez, so that’s why I didn’t hesitate to pick them up. And how cool are the blue denim ones?! I just had to have those as well (they came with another set of shoelaces, which are the brown ones you see in the picture).

I know which pair of shoes I’m going to wear on Halloween this year. These The Nightmare Before Christmas classic Crocs.

Now, let’s move on to some heels. These grey satin square toe mules are from H&M, and I got them on sale.

These next two pairs are from Asos Design, and I also got these on sale.

And these last two pairs of heels are from Zara, which I haven’t purchased from for a while, but they had a nice sale, so I picked up some items including some accessories and clothes as well.

Let’s move on to accessories, the first accessory being related to shoes, because I got these orchid shoe clips from Asos Design. What a fun accessory, right?

I also picked up a necklace and three pairs of earrings in the Asos sale. Sadly, the pearl flower earrings broke, when I wanted to wear them the other day, so I had to get rid of them.

These are the accessories I got in the Zara sale, and I don’t know what it is with flower earrings, but these ones broke right away as well.

Lastly, I picked up this beaded headband from the brand Becksöndergaard. I also got this item on sale.

Collective haul – clothes, shoes, and accessories (May 2025)

I have a collective clothes, shoes, and accessories haul to share with you today. I purchased all of these items back in May.

I only purchased four pieces of clothing. These three are from H&M, and I got them in a 20% off deal. I’ve worn them all three together, and that look will actually be tomorrow’s outfit post.

The last piece of clothing I bought was this second hand skirt. So pretty.

I’ve got five pairs of shoes to share with you, and let’s begin with the two pairs of heels I picked up. The orange and pink sandals are from Marco Tozzi, and the red ones are from Tamaris; two brands that I’ve purchased from before and that I really like.

It was time to add another pair of Nike Cortez sneakers to my ever-growing collection. I actually ordered three different pairs, but ended up only keeping these ones. I really like this colour combo.

The last two pairs of shoes I got were these two pairs of Crocs. I really wanted a pair of the Marimekko collab Crocs, and these ones are actually the kids’ ones, but they came in my size, and I love the print and colours. I also love the lime green colour of the chunky pair (it’s the style called Bae)!

Let’s move on to accessories. I picked up this golden ring and these floral earrings on sale at Asos, and they’re both from Asos Design.

I got these three pieces on sale from H&M, and I think they’re really pretty.

The next bunch of pieces in this haul are from the Danish website Black Colour. I love a pearl necklace, so I got a “double-stranded” one and a red one.

I also love a flower brooch, and Black Colour usually have some good ones, like this dark green one.

And speaking of flowers, I also got a big mint green flower hair clip. I also bought another fun colourful hair clip. I just love a hair accessory.

This is a mirror keyhanger/bag charm (yes, there’s a mirror inside) that is now living on my everyday bag.

I also got this brown tie. I love adding more ties to my collection.

And speaking of ties, I picked up these four ties at a second hand charity shop, and I paid next to nothing for them. I love a second hand/vintage tie. They have the best prints!

Lastly, I purchased this red second hand waist belt. I wasn’t sure about it, but it was so affordable, so I thought I would give a try, and as it turns out, I’ve already worn it many times. It’s just such a nice addition to many outfits.

Collective haul (Late March/April 2025)

I have a collective haul to share with you today. It includes beauty, one piece of clothing, and a bunch of shoes. Let’s begin with the beauty bits.

I purchased two of the limited edition summer scents from Sol de Janeiro; Dança Mística and Água Mística. Dança Mística is by far my favourite. It might even be my favourite Sol de Janeiro scent that I own, and I own quite a lot of them. Some of the notes are purple fig, champagne accord, lily of the valley, warm vanilla, and sandalwood. It’s really unique, but so good. More people would probably like Água Mística, which has notes like neroli water, tangerine, white pineapple, peony, and salty skin accord. I don’t like the pineapple, which is strong to my nose, but if you like a fresh, tropical scent, you would probably like Água Mística.

I decided to try the TirTir Mask Fit Aura mini cushion foundation in 13N Fair Ivory, but even though this shade works for me in the red version, I think it’s a little light on me in this aura version.

I love the NYX Buttermelt highlighters. I got the shades 15 U Butta Work, 20 Butta Mint, and 40 No 1 Butta. They’re so pretty, and I may or may not have picked up a couple more shades since:)

Here’s a couple other make-up bits, I picked up. I’d been wanting to try the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip gel tint, so I picked up shade 2 in a sale, and I love it! It’s such a good skin tint. I also really enjoy the Fenty Beauty Suede powder blushes, so I got another shimmer shade called Bubbleband$ 11.

Speaking of Fenty Beauty, I really wanted to get my hands on the Hot Cheeks highlighting blushes in Cherry Pie’d and Cherry Pop, and they’re so pretty.

The only piece of clothing in this haul is this stripy skirt from Mango, which I got on sale. Now, let’s move on to shoes.

You know I have an obsession with Crocs, and I just fell in love with these Mary Janes the second I saw them. And I love this bright red colour.

I also picked up these classic Crocs with floral cut-outs in a cute pale green colour, and I’ve worn them quite a bit this summer.

And the last pair of Crocs in this haul is this pair of Sirens in the dark purple colour. They’re just so good!

Oh, and I also picked this 5 pc of bow Jibbitz.

I don’t know if I’m ever actually going to wear these boots, but they’re just so fun. They’re from the Koi Footwear x The Rocky Horror Picture Show collection. I mean, just look at that lipstick heel!

On the contrary, here’s a pair of boots I think I’ll get a lot of use out of. These are the Jeffrey Campbell Prepster boots, and they’re the boot version of my beloved pastel loafers from Jeffrey Campbell.

Lastly, I got two pairs of pretty kitten heels. The purple suede ones are from Alma en Pena, and the dark blue ones with the flowers are from Blue by Betsey Johnson, and I wore those at my cousin’s wedding back in June.

5 favourites – July

July, I’m going to miss you so much. Despite being ill for a week, I’ve had a great summer holiday. The weather has been with us in July for the first time in many years, which makes the summer holiday even more enjoyable. I’m going back to work again on Monday, but I wish I had another week off:) However, let’s get into this month’s favourites.

Red and pink platform Teva sandals: I purchased these sandals in a Cyber Monday sale last year, hoping that I would get a lot of use out of them this summer, and I have. Tevas are so comfortable, and I can walk around in them for hours, so they’ve been perfect for going on different trips this summer.

Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Lift & Flex concealer (shade: 2): I’d had this concealer on my wishlist for so long, but it was sold out in the lightest shades for ages. When I finally found it somewhere back in stock, I picked it up immediately. Initially, I wasn’t blown away by it, but it has grown on me lately, and it actually is a beautiful concealer.

Wet n Wild Megalast eyeshadow primer: I learned about this affordable eyeshadow primer through a comment on a beauty Youtube video. Someone wrote that it was a great primer if shimmers tend to crease on your eyelids, which they do on mine, because I have hooded eyelids. Some shimmers still crease on me, but I do think that this primer works quite well with some types of shimmers, and I’ve experienced less creasing when using this primer.

Jurassic World Rebirth (film): I’m always excited about a new Jurassic World film, and I didn’t know anything about Rebirth before watching it, but I really enjoyed it. As I’ve mentioned before, I love dinosaurs, so I could definitely live without the genetically engineered dinosaurs in the Jurassic World series, because they’re just monsters and not real dinosaur species, but I really liked the premise and plot of this film.

Weyward (Kvinderne fra Weyward Cottage) by Emilia Hart (book): I don’t remember the last time I read a book that wasn’t a children’s book (I read a lot of those though) or a non-fiction book I had to read for education purposes, but for some reason, I had an urge to read a novel this summer. I found Weyward by Emilia Hart at one of my local supermarkets (I read it in Danish though, hence the Danish title in parentheses). I thought it sounded interesting, and it was. I read it in a few days in the very beginning of my summer holiday, and I really enjoyed it. I’m reading another book now, and I already have a few more in mind that I would like to read, so I hope that I’ll have time to do so, when life becomes busy again soon.

Collective haul – shoes and clothes (February 2025)

I have a small-ish collective shoes and clothes haul to share with you today. I either got these items on sale or second hand.

I think we have established by now that I like Jeffrey Campbell shoes, and I got these blue kitten heel boots for a very good price. I haven’t worn them yet, but I can’t wait to wear them during autumn and winter.

I usually don’t like cropped things, but this second hand zebra print jacket was really fun, and I liked how it looked with this outfit.

I paid next to nothing for these second hand trousers, and they fit my perfectly.

I love a matching set, and I think this second hand skirt set is really fun. I wore it here.

The next two pieces are from a brand called YAS that I really like. I bought them at a physical store, and there was one pair of these rhinestone jeans left, and they were in my size. I wore them here.

This navy jumper is pretty simple, but it still has some nice details.

Lastly, I got this silver glitter cardigan from the brand Saint Tropez. I wore this on a lunch date paired with the rhinestone jeans.

Collective haul – part 1 (January 2025)

I have a huge collective haul from January this year, and I’m going to divide it into two parts. This first part includes both clothes, shoes, accessories, and beauty, whereas the second part is all beauty products.

I picked up these red wide leg trousers on sale at H&M. I’m actually wearing them today.

I love a colourful, floral midi skirt or dress. The skirt and the purple dress are both from the brand YAS, which is a brand I really like, and the green dress is from Asos Design.

You know I love a Disney print and this burgundy oversized T-shirt with Mickey and Minnie on it is just a nice basic from Asos Design.

Apparently, I managed to buy two different pairs of leopard print boots. The slouchy heeled ones are from H&M, and the flat ones are from Asos Design.

I know Christmas is far away, but I can always use some more Christmas themed jewellery like these earrings from Accessorize.

Let’s move on to make-up. I picked up these three products from e.l.f. Cosmetics; the Halo Glow Powder Filter pressed powder in Fair Neutral Cool, the Camo liquid bronzer & contour in Fair/Light, and the Camo liquid blush in Bold-Faced Lilac. I really like all three of these.

Here’s a little random selection of products, I picked up back in January; the MAC Glow Play Tendertalk lip balm in Trick (love these tinted lip balms), the e.l.f. Cosmetics Glow Reviver glimmer lip oil in Chocoluxe, and the Huda Beauty Liquid Blush Filter in Ube Cream (one of my favourite liquid blush formulas).

I got all of the last items in this haul from Sephora. This is the Pat McGrath Labs Luminous Legends mega eye shadow palette, which was their holiday palette from 2024. I got it on sale.

I wanted to own something from the R.E.M. Beauty Wicked collection after watching the film, so I got the Tulip Field lipstick in Munchkin Musk.

I also purchased two of the new at the time Natasha Denona Hy-Blush cloudy cream cheek duos in the shades Sweet Cheeks and Flustered, and they’re very pretty. And as I mentioned I love the Huda Beauty Liquid Blush Filters, so I got another shade. This is the shade Coco Loco from the Icy Nude collection, which is a beautiful deep red, when you blend it out.

Lastly, I caved and got the KAYALI Yum Boujee Marshmellow 81 eau de parfum (10 ml). KAYALI is my favourite perfume brand, and even though this sweet scent is my favourite from the brand I still like it.
