Beauty and Hair.

So this is just some stuff I've bought a while ago, but haven't gotten around to blog about yet. Thought I would do that now! :D

First I'm running out of regular face powder. I got this in the believe that it was translucent setting powder, but it's clearly just a regular one... I must have been tired or something... I haven't tried it yet, so I have no idea if I like it. 

I've heard so much rave about these masks so I really wanted to try them out... Well, I'm not exactly impressed. The sauna one was really awful. :( It was a self heating thing, and I did NOT enjoy it. And the formula ruined one of my little cotton towels, it totally made big brown stains! :(

Then I splurged a little on some hair stuff! My best friend had been raving about this hair oil, Orofluido. It smelled super nice and looked really nice too, and was quite affordable, so I thought why not. I also found a few other things, like the Aussie leave-in spray. And I've wanted to try the Chi silk infusion for YEARS! When I got the package it reeked this horribly synthetic sweet smell, and no it was not the lollypop, it was the Aussie product... I understand now why it was so cheap. It sure smells like it! :S I don't know if I'll ever get it used, but I'll try I guess... 

A pic of what was in the package. 

A close up of the Orofluido oil. It smells divine but doesn't really do anything for my hair. My friend was ecstatic about what it did to her hair, my hair was more like: Meh... 

But did I mention it smells amazing?! XD Like strong vanilla (in a very good way). 

The infamous (smelly) leave-in spray :S ... Maybe it's amazing in my hair, who knows? :)

Annnd the tiny sample of CHI Silk Infusion. Man I love this product! I love that it's for both hair and skin! And I love, love, love the smell! I can't really explain it, but I think it's amazing. :D

I found these super adorable socks at my local store. I remember that I used to wear similar ones as a small child and I loved them! I still do... ^____^

I I found a new version of my favorite leave-in spray, now with UV protection, which is a plus now that I dye my hair black and blue. XD 

... And it was on sale...

I found this super cute jewelry the other day. It was very. very cheap and I like the fact that it looks like it too. :P I like how the twisted gold looks kinda ghetto. It'll go nicely with the new cold hair colour. :)

In the early summer I was out thrifting when I found this beauty! It's authentic vintage and absolutely stunning! The pattern is handmade with teeny tiny cross stitches! The inside is lined with creme silk. 

I also love how even the metal parts are decorated!

Of course the bottom is decorated too! I can't even... It's sooo pretty!!! >^______^< 

I also found these old clasp earrings. They are cheaply made and  were in pretty bad shape, but I'd been looking for this type of earring for a long time. They just doesn't make this style anymore... The red plastic "pearls"(?) were so scuffed to the point that they looked almost white! But I gave them a few coats of clear nail polish and they ended up looking like this! :D The metal contains nickel so I gave the entire earring a few good coats as well. I think they look so elegant and chic, and they costed me pretty much nothing. :) The way I like it! 

Some time ago I bought some ribbon! I like the dusty rose, and I always love lace! 

I like the look of a ribbon tied in the collar of a button down. (Sorry about the weird lighting in this pic, the sun was suddenly super strong.) 

Some time ago I was at a local flea market and found some vintage chokers! I love the black beads. :)

And look at the multicoloured rhinestones on the lock! I think it's a very nice detail. And I love the gold with the black. The black beads has a blue-greenish sheen, kinda like oil slick... 

I also found this lacey-crochet looking choker also with black beads. 

When I saw this delicate necklace I immediately thought of Holly Golightly! The scene from 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' where Audrey Hepburn wears all pink with a pink tiara and jewelry. I really wanted it, and when I learned how cheap it was I found no justifiable reason to why I shouldn't buy it! So I evidently did, and I've worn it a lot! I still love it. I like the almost white silvery metal. 

I really hope you enjoyed!

I LOVE FALL!!!

Denmark has a pretty cold climate, so most danes are always complaining about the weather. The summers are known for being rainy and chilly (yet sunny), very like the british and swedish. I happen to really intensively love that type of weather; I love rain, a grey and cloudy sky and a bit of thunder. That makes me really, really happy. So I always celebrate when the leafs turn colour and sheds, and more and more days are dominated by rain etc.
This is a few pictures of my street in my favorite season!

Ahh, I just love me some nice dramatic clouds! And It's so wonderful with a pair of nice home knitted socks and a warm cup of tea! I bought this floral tea cup as a souvenir from my first visit to Tivoli ever, during the summer. 

I like putting some red sugar harts in my tea, I think it looks so cute. Normally I really dislike things that are too cute and pretty, but I like my tea sweet and girly. XD

<3 <3 <3

I also really like fall and winter because I'm very sensitive to light, that's also a reason to why I have such an extensive collection of sun glasses. 

>^______________^<

A little collective haul!

This is just some stuff I've bought in regular clothing stores, but still high street stuff though. ;)

(Excuse the wrinkliness ! XD)

I love everything about this first cropped t-shirt. The print is just perfect for my life! It reminds me of mystery, and hand reading, and a gypsy lady (I have some "gypsy" blood in my family) that can tell your future. I think it goes well with my new darker look. :P And I really like the detail that the print is cream and not just white. 

(From Monki)

I love the LOL print. XD And it has some really pretty colours in it as well.

(From Monki)

The colour of the stones, on the collar, is so pretty, I think! And now I can match the lamp I bought yesterday! XD

(Also from Monki)

So pretty!...

I bought this stripy one way too big... :( And I live too far from the store to wanna bother with returning it. And it was a small store so they probably wouldn't even have the one in my size anymore... But I make it work anyway, and I'm still really happy that I have it! I've actually been looking for a shirt like this, with or without sleeves. I love how it looks with the chest pockets, having horizontal stripes to brake it up at bit and making it more interesting. :)

(From Monki)

I totally fell in love when I saw this super cute sheer button down, with the lovely velvet details on the collar and mid section. So it's very appropriate for everything IMO. :)

(Monki)

This white top with all the beetles is so  me!!! I love everything like this! And it's so soft. :D

(Monki) 

I found this top on sale and I love her and her band, so I bought it!... Evidently! :D (She is one of my big red hair idols... XD)

(From H&M)

I also found this blueish pink on sale in a mens store. I love the shade of pink. :)

(A local mens wear store)

I mostly buy shirts, tops and cardigans, because I make the rest myself. I prefer to wear black maxi-skirts, it suits me better than pants and it's easier for my aching hands and fingers. Also, I have a pretty small waist, so NOTHING ever fits me properly. And I know I'm not alone! :)

I hope you enjoyed it! Anyways, thanks for reading! ^_____^ 

Todays thrift-treasures!!!

I was out buying my brothers birthday gift, and I couldn't help myself...... I had to check out the local (super tiny) thrift store. But of course I found some stuff I just needed in my life! XD

This first piece is IMO to die for! It looks so amazing on. I love the crazy-colour-flower-butterfly-party against the monochrome zebra print. And normally I dislike sequin but it looks very pretty on this shirt. You can't really see it in the pics, but the flower and butterfly print is decorated with the most delicate sequin! I LIKE IT! :D

I just really liked this mellow button down. The print is kind of like an animal print, but not really. And I like the sandy colour with pink undertones. I think it'll be a nice contrast to my new hair. :)

I just had to have this! It doesn't fit me (yet), but I'm plannin' on loosin' some weight soon. And it's in perfect condition! It's such a nice quality. :)

Love love love the beading details! 

I think mint compliments black hair so well, so when I saw this I fell in love and died. XD I love the shape of the mesh-part, very feminine and pretty. Can't wait to wear it!

I love the unusually big print on this dress, and the colours are so beautiful. And roses are my favorite flower! The only sad thing about this dress is that it's a bit short for my long legs. :( But I'll make it work anyway. 

I have a thing for negligé, especially the retro kind! Sometimes I'm lucky and find a cute piece like this.  

I got this nice over sized, red cardigan. :)

This white cardigan is so soft! I like the crochet/knit look.

Okay, pictures doesn't do this red tee any justice! It's made of a very shiny, luxurious material. It falls heavy and feels cool and amazing against the skin. I love how it reflects the light. I can't properly explain it. :)

This piece is super flowy and sheer. And the little black bow is super cute! It's in good shape too. :D

I like the colour of this pink shirt, with the red splashes and writing. I love the combination of the two. When I was a kid someone told me that you couldn't mix red and pink... I've always loved it! 

I had to get this dude. At first I thought he was a she, because of the chest area, but he is actually a he. But I kinda like that he looks like an androgynous female. :P

I also found a new lamp... I have a feeling that my taste in lamps is pretty tacky, but who cares! :) I actually really like it. I haven't seen anything like this before, and it was kinda cheap, so... 

So purdy and shiny!!!

I hope you enjoyed! ^_____^

LENGTH SHOT! (September 2013.)

The first picture was taken with my cheap digital camera, and I'm not really a fan of how it portrays my ends!!! :S They do NOT look that thin IRL! I promise you! :(

The second picture was taken with my iPhone, which I've always used for this. I think my hair looks so short lately. Because of the "big" trim not too long ago, I'm still hovering at this 'close to classic, but still not really there' which I've been for, what seems like, ages! But at least I've got a new exciting hair colour to keep me entertained! :D I know my hemline looks lopsided but it's not. I just didn't brush it properly, it went pretty fast because I wasn't feeling well. I'm a bit disappointed in how my new black hair looks like in pics. IRL it looks so vibrant and deep... In these pics it just looks dull and kinda bad. At least it looks flippin awesome through the filter of my eyeballs! XD   

^_______^

BIG HAIR REVEAL!!!

Okay, so I've done something new to my hair! And it's a big change! I love it so much! Are you ready? Do you know what my hair used to look like? It was a reddish light brown, and later you can just scroll further down for an old picture...

... Are you ready to see what I did???

(Scroll down)
 

I MADE IT BLACK!!!

(In the first two pictures I had straightened my hair, I know, naughty naughty. But I do it sooo rarely.)

I dyed my hair black with hendigo (henna & indigo) which is supposed to give a blue black colour. I wanted to enhance the blue so I also used Blue Mayhem by Special effects, which is a semi permanent, very blue, hair dye. I am very happy with the result! (But it kinda was a pain to achieve.) I'm gonna do an entry about what I did. ^__^

This last picture is my natural hair texture (after a loooong day, so excuse the messiness!)

The first time I ever dyed my hair I chose blue black. As back then, I really think it suits me. And I'm not the only one, I've already gotten several compliments on how well it suits me. But I guess it's not really that weird because I look like my dad and he used to have very dark, almost black, hair. I've never had a great relationship with my dad (he's an alcoholic and a really bad person in general), so I've always tried to look as little like my dad as possible, but I feel ready to embrace the "darker" genes, I guess. I know I look really white, but actually I tan so easy, so It's hard work to stay as fair as I am right now. But I am also feeling ready to stop obsessing about being pale. Because it's quite annoying always thinking about covering up in all ways. It's a stupid thing I know. :) 

But I'm so excited 'bout ma new huuur!!! I think it makes my eyes POP and look bigger! What do you think??? U like?
