More rust tones

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. As I mentioned in my last make-up post, I’d found that blue looks really good paired with rust tones, and I think this make-up look came together very nicely.

Difficult stripes

Here’s what I wore Monday August 4. I never know how to style this striped dress, so I end up not wearing it. Maybe it’s because it’s so simple. However, this time I was determined to wear it, and I really like how the look turned out.

Blue and rust

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve always loved a blue eye look paired with a bright red lip, but I’ve recently found that blue looks really good with rust tones as well.

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.

Feels very autumnal

Dressed in dinosaurs

Here’s what I wore Tuesday July 29. My dad and I went to the cinema to watch Jurassic World Rebirth, and as I’ve mentioned before, I sometimes like to dress up according to the theme of the film I’m going to watch, so I wore a Jurassic Park T-shirt and dinosaur jewellery.
