Here’s what I wore Thursday October 9. I told you in my 5 favourites post that these denim Nike Cortez sneakers were my most worn shoes in October, and you haven’t seen the last of them yet.

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Even though I tend to wear darker make-up looks more often in autumn, I still wear a bright, colourful look every now and again. I just love bright colours too much not to wear them all year round.

Here’s what I wore Wednesday October 8. I love bringing out pieces I’ve worn for a special occasion and style and wear them again in a new way. This dress I wore on the day of my daughter’s christening just over 2,5 years ago.
(Denim vest – second hand, dress – Monki, tights – Sneaky Fox, sneakers – Nike)
This haul consists of the things I picked up on me and my family’s three-day trip during our summer holiday. Almost everything is second hand or vintage.
I found this fun blouse at a charity second hand shop. It’s from the brand YAS, which is a brand I really like, and I thought it would be fun to style.
I went to a second hand/flee market style shop, and they had a few clothing racks with vintage stuff., and I picked up these two pieces; a short sleeve shirt and a pleated skirt.
We went past an outdoors European market with stalls from all over Europe, and I bought this little straw bag at the French stall.
I picked up this beautiful silver brooch at that second hand/flee market style shop. I love finding old brooches.
This last purchase is more of a souvenir. We went to an aquarium and I got these turtle hoop earrings as a memory.
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.
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. When the weather gets colder and more autumnal, I automatically want to wear darker make-up looks more often.

Here’s what I wore Monday October 6. I’d been wanting to wear this T-shirt and these boots for so long, and as it turns out, they went perfectly together in this look.
(Blazer – second hand, T-shirt – Stine Goya, trousers – Reclaimed Vintage, boots – Jeffrey Campbell)
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I don’t think I have any other lip product in my extensive lip product collection that is this kind of green-grey colour. It’s a really fun and unique shade.

Here’s what I wore Friday October 3. I wanted to try the “scarf as a belt” trend, but I’m not sure how I feel about it. Maybe this was just the wrong dress to add a scarf belt to.
(Dress – Monki, scarf – Even&Odd, tights + shoe clips – Asos Design, sneakers – Asics)
Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’m not quite sure whether I like this eye look or not. I do like the lip colour though.
