Fashion Loves 2016

 Hello, Everybody!

 In this post I will share with you my favourite outfits and fashion items that made my 2016 year special. Let's start!

 This dress and a headband were knitted by my Grandmother. The dress is very warm which makes it good for the colder seasons. It has front pockets and is very cosy. :) I got inspired to have my first knitted dress ever by my previous fashion post in October. Do you remember seeing something similar already?

This is where I got the inspiration from.

 The knitted headband looks like a crown because it has a big pearl in the middle of it.

Like that.

 This dress was given to me from my Mother while I was preparing for the school's "Oscar's" party. One of the teachers called it Art Deco style dress. I really like it because the embroidery with glitters makes it very festive. But you have to be very careful with the dress in order not to ruin the glittery part.

This is me wearing that dress to the party.

 As long as I remember me I have always dreamt of a perfect red dress. And this summer I have finally bought one at Terranova which you can wear both everyday and to the parties if you'll add some accessories. It's simple and beautiful. But the material of a dress gets creased easily so you should look after how you move and sit to make it stay smooth all day.

 This skirt was a life saviour when I did not know what to wear. It's also quite festive. Just add any top to that and you're done. It reminds me of spring and when I wear that it always gives me a good mood. :)

 I've bought this one at Stradivarius more that a year ago but I'm not sure if I have shown you it. The dress is amazing and Stradivarius is one of my favourite stores. Between the shades of pink  there is a tiny golden thread that you can't really see in the picture but it's pretty in real life. This dress is also a life saviour. It's comfy and the material is very nice, so I can wear it 24/7.

 These are pyjamas from H&M that I think are really cool because it says "Brunch club". + I prefer to sleep in a long T-shirt better than in a bottom+top pyjamas. It's 65% polyester and 35% cotton if that matters to you. I really like to wake up in it and never want to change it to the normal clothes in the morning. :D It's comfy and I like it.

 This dress I found after my sister has moved away with her husband so I still have not given it back to her because I keep it for one party in 1950's style. I think this dress gives me a lot of joy and this dark blue colour reminds me of the sea and the beach. This is why it deserves to be one of my favourites. It feels like a dress has a happy aura around it.

 This is a top I bought at &M. It's modern classic style and I know it because I work at H&M. I love to wear it with black jeans and I think I look quite business style and at the same time beautiful in it. I also wore  it to one party recently. This golden necklace on it makes it stand out from the rest of my wardrobe.

 This dress is also from H&M and it carries a lot of beautiful memories from summer 2016 which I like. This floral print is everything.

 The thing that makes this dress unique is this fashionable cut out trend. Cut outs are at both sides. You can see them in the picture above. The dress simply radiates summer which makes me very happy and reminds me of the summer sun that I really miss right now.  :)

 I can't believe this post is over. I'd like to go on and on about my Fashion Loves. <3

 Please send me pictures of your fashion loves 2016!

 Love you all,

Perfect Me 2017

 Hello, Everybody!
 I know that New Year is coming only next week but I decided to give my resolutions early. The faster I start the faster I'll get to my "Perfect Me" version.

In my mind right now I feel like an archer that is setting goals.

  The new me in 2017 is:
  1. Never late.
  2. Always looks perfect.
  3. Nice to people and eager to help.
  4. Has an opinion on everything.
  5. Knows about what happens in the world. Is not ignorant.
  6. Confident.
  7. Creative.
  8. Sportive. Has an active lifestyle hobby like running and dancing for example.
  9. Plans her time and sets her little goals for every day so that she can be productive.
  10. Eats healthily! No consuming kilos of sweets every day!
  11. Every two weeks goes to some cultural event or at least socialize with people outside her work and school.
  12. Every month discovers something new about the country she lives in. Goes somewhere she hasn't been before.
  13. Spends her summer going to the festivals, concerts, exhibitions, galleries, museums and all the other new places she wants to go. DISCOVERS something new. And then tells her blog readers everything about it. :)
  14. Has at least one travelling outside her homeland.
  15. Realizes what she wants to be and which university to apply.
  16. Gets her driving license.
  17. Improves her French and after a long break also Swedish.
  18. Learns Spanish, too.
  19. Changes her wardrobe to have a more classy, clear (nothing too much) and stylish look.
  20. Reads a book per month and ALWAYS writes a review on that.
  21. Every week reads at least one post of a blogger she doesn't know so that her blogging journey is even more interesting.
  22. Writes a blog post herself at least once in a week.
  23. Walks out of her comfort zone more often.
  24. Doesn't forget to write her reviews on everything and take pictures. (I like taking at least a picture a day so that I can memorize everything and make each day special.)
  25. Never forgets to congratulate people with their birthdays and other important holidays. ( I actually always forget to congratulate my parents with their wedding anniversary. And that's only the tip of the iceberg.)
 It came up to be 25 points but I'm sure that with time I'll be adding more and more things to this list. We never have to stop growing and developing after all. ;)
 What are your goals?

I Am My Worst Enemy

  I could have said it's a good day. The stats on my blog today are good. The marks at school in general are good. The food I ate today was good. The monthly pay I've just received is good. My family is good. My outfit and even my hair looked GOOD today. And many other things are good in my life right now but I am mad.
  It's so stupid how one negative thought can screw up your whole day and steal your sleep, peace and happiness. Right now there is ONE thing that happened to me that I simply think is not fair. It does not make much of a difference in my life though. Some others maybe would have even thought it's a good thing but I don't. Seriously, when you put a lot of effort into something and it doesn't end up the way you wanted it to be then even if it doesn't drive you away from you main goal it's still annoying and upsets you a lot.
  I know that the main lesson of this day is not to take anything too seriously and care less but I don't know how most of people do that. I still have to learn. What to do when something ( a failure, let's be honest) steals your peace so that you can't think of anything but this problem? I personally want to change things, solve the problem. But what if it is too late? You just have to let it go. The hardest thing ever. At least for me.
  I'm not sure if this post is any good for anyone to read but I am an emotional person and I need to talk through my situation to truly understand it. And right now I understand that at this instant moment I am being my worst enemy. I keep reminding myself of my failure instead of focusing on the good things I had today.
  I wish I could say: " I hope you'll never get in the situation like that. I hope you will be wiser and won't focus on your failures and won't try to fight the world's injustice because it's foolish." But I will never say that because I know we all get very upset with our failures and we all want life to be always fair even though we know it's not how the universe work. The important thing is not to make any decisions during this moment of ANGER. And right now I am thankful I didn't do any foolish decisions while being angry today.
  Life's okay, actually.
  It's been a good day after all.

Festive Makeup Look

 Some time ago I attended a wedding of my sister. And that day I really liked my makeup. I'll never understand how one day you do kind of everything the same as the other day but somehow it works out much better than usually. SO I just wanted to share that makeup look with you and tell what products made it feel so good.

This is a picture of me wearing that makeup and on the left from me is my brother. I don't have an other picture from that day so I hope he won't kill me. Sorry, bro.

 So, I was wearing new Maybelline  Fit me! foundation which is mate and very light on the skin. I think half of the high school students wear them now because it gives a very nice feeling to the skin, covers everything and blends in beautifully. I wear it in the shade 130 which is perfect for my dark skin and it is the first foundation that doesn't look to orange or pink on me. And there are also other shades available so find yours! ;) This is my FAVORITE!

 Next thing for me is a Catrice bronzing Sun Glow which is mate and lasts for a very long time :) This is my first bronzing ever because I started using bronzing only since this autumn which made my life much better. Sometimes I even use only bronzing and nothing else. I wonder how I lived before. Bronzing gives the shape to the face and this feeling of a complete makeup look. It also brings some life on your face especially now when we don't see the sun much and our faces get very pale.

 And the last but not the least is a Catrice Beautifying Lip Smoother. It looks like a lip gloss but works like a lip balm. It is very moisturizing and nourishing for the lips. Lips don't get dry that quickly and it also protects them from the wind and cold weather I really like it. The shade is 040 Coffee To Go. It's very neutral and you can wear it every day. There are also other nude shades in this Beautifying Lip Smothers collection. Choose the one you like most! <3

  And in case you're wondering I was wearing my Channel mascara because it is the best long lasting mascara I have. You can read about it here.

 So, tell me what do you think about the products and the makeup look?
