OUTFIT: Misbhv Rare Sweater

By the time you read this I'm well underway to Paris! Paris Fashion Week here I come! I'm making Winter way more lush with my new Misbhv Rare Sweater and Gang Tote! I'm loving the sleeves so much and the tote is just a yum yum tote (black and handy) So happy to join in on the Fashion Weeks after missing London bc of the stupid flu! I'm totally looking forward to Paris, it's going to be so good!

OUTFIT: Mission Impossible

I would make a vewwy vewwy good spy! The subject came up because my friend thought the case looked like something for transporting critical information to HQ while the studs on the jacket would make great improvised weapons. Boys... what can I say? So imma spy! Taking these photos was Mission Impossible for real though! It was so cold and windy oh and snowing too, so lots of fly-away hair!
xoxo

ps. guess what? Looks like I will be spying fashion in Paris in a few days! So exited!

Favorite Smokey Eye Tutorials

One of my all time favorite beauty looks besides the Cat Eye is the Smokey Eye, a beautiful dark smokey eye with pale lips! It's like nothing in the world can beat a good black smudge! I personally think that when it comes to smokey eyes you just have to try what works best for you but I do have to admit I keep a few Tutorials that are my absolute favorites when it comes to Dark, Attractive and Dramatic Eyes!

OUTFIT: Because I love Light Blue

I'm so into my light blue shades, my outfit is a bit similar to my outfit here, same colors but different silhouette, this is my comfy effortless version of my previous look I guess :)

Feel Good Food

I'm a lover of of all things that make me feel good, my favorite time of the day is when I can wind down, cuddling up the couch with coffee, cookies and chocolate, doing my nails and watching movies during the evenings or weekend mornings. My new feel good, cozy, comfort food is a combination of my favorites; Lu- and Tuc Cookies and Milka chocolate! The Tuc Cookies add some salt to the sweet chocolate flavor which makes for such a great surprise while the Lu Milka Bars give me that typical Cookie-Chocolate taste that I love so much and which goes so well with that big bowl of Vanilla Ice Cream ;)

You should really try it yourself! Drop me a comment below and I might sent you one of Milka's Lu or Tuc bars  for you to try out! (see it as a belated Valentine's gift)

OUTFIT: Joey is Ogling Legs

Do you ever wonder how things would look when a guy would make the selection of pictures to show on the blog? This is what happens :) I think Joey didn't look at my face whatsoever but it's okay.. Today it is his selection.. quote "well there was a fair bit of leg ogling going on too" If I asked if he was actually paying any attention to my face... kind of cute.. I think? Not sure yet if there will be more Joey selections on this blog.... ;)

Favorite Bangs Tutorials {even if you don't have Bangs}

photo by theshineproject

Bangs are just amazingly stylish and I find myself contemplating a new hairdo involving some beautiful bangs quite often! For this week I collected my favorite bang tutorials, mostly updo's involving heavy straight bangs, sloppy locks or side swept bangs! and the best? A tutorial faking bangs! No scissors needed! I hope the tutorials inspire for a new do, or even some updo fun using clip on bangs! (yes! Clip on Fake Bangs do exist!)
xoxo



1) Braid Bun Bang

There is just something about full beautiful straight bangs! Every time I see lovely updo's like this I'm tempted to cut my hair and sport some bangs myself!

http://thebeautydepartment.com/2012/06/updo-bangs/



2) Fake Bangs

Even for those, like me who have no bangs and would love to sport a gorgeous updo like this from time to time without actually cutting bangs there is hope! This tutorial shows how to fake bangs! Totally awesome!

3) The Pin-Up PonyTail

Not really bangs but somehow pin-up hair-styles always give you that "having-bangs" feeling!

4) A Fine Frenchy

Side swept bangs are perfect for updo's and this updo is one of my favorites! I don't really have bangs myself but my front locks are just a tit bit shorter then the rest of my locks so it's easy to create that feeling of having side-swept bangs even that I don't! Sometimes I even curl my front locks more making them look shorter and thus creating that side swept bang look and feel!

5) Blow Drying Heavy Bangs


For those of us having bangs or planning to cut bangs, trick of the trade would be styling them starting with a perfect blow dry, in that case this tutorial is a must!
