Pretty second hand set

Here’s what I wore Tuesday February 25. I’d been wanting to style up and wear this matching second hand set ever since I bought it, and this was the day I finally decided to do so. I think this set is so pretty, and I love the purple paired with the burgundy tights and shoes.

Warm clothes and practical footwear

Here’s what I wore Monday February 17. I was taking a week off and I spent most of it with my family in my parents’ summer house/holiday cottage. The weather wasn’t great, so I had to dress in warm clothes and practical footwear.

Bitten

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love the outfit and I love this make-up look. I wore the Gourmande Girls Cosmetics Bitten palette on my eyes (which I haven’t hauled yet), and it was the perfect dark Valentine’s Day palette to go with my dark Valentine’s Day outfit.

Dark Valentine’s Day

Here’s what I wore on Valentine’s Day, Friday February 14. This was the last day of my week of Valentine’s Day inspired looks, and this is definitely the darkest look I wore all week, but I love it. I love the dark red paired with lavender, black, and white. I also love the mix of prints.

NA-KD Cyber Monday haul (December 2024)

I have a small NA-KD Cyber Monday sale haul to share with you today. It consists of a pair of shoes and a handful of bags.

I didn’t have a pair mustard heels, and these croc mules are quite nice. I wore them here.

I thought this leather leopard print shoulder bag seemed like really nice quality, and it will go with a lot of different looks.

I brought this pearl bag with me to a family visit/party last weekend, and it’s really pretty and spacious.

This bag might be my favourite of the bunch. I just love shiny, pretty things!

And one red bag apparently wasn’t enough, because I also got this one, which is also lovely.

Lastly, I bought two of the same bag in two different colours; navy and pink. Everything in this haul was 50% off apart from the last pink bag, which was 60% off.

Shimmery pink and purple

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I thought a shimmery pink and purple make-up look would go well with the outfit.

Bright orange lip

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I’ve always thought that a bright orange lip didn’t suit me that well, and I still don’t think it’s the best lip colour on me, but it sure is a bright and fun look.
