Chanel Nails Spring 2010



Here is another beauty bargain to stick your hands to- the amazing nail varnish in brownish grey. The colour is a bit mushroom-like. You might have spotted it already: it´s big news this spring.
Chanel is the mother of this trend but many other make-up brands have copied the lo
ok. The original shade is Chanel 505 Particuliére but there are many cheaper options for almost the same
colour.
It would be a bit frustrating to run around the shops just to find a Chanel nail polish and when you get there, you´ll notice they don´t have any. You are too late!
I have it in Rimmel Lasting
Finish Pro, shade 270 Steel Grey.
There are also other brands that have the similiar shades, for examle OPI in Over The Taupe and You Don´t Know Jacques. Also ASOS Paint by Ciaté has one that´s called Sienna.

I also have a bag that matches perfectly with these wonderful nails. Just bought that from Macy´s as I´m on a holiday in Florida...ah, that´ll look so chic!
Here´s something else to go with the nails. I love these new buns - you can find your own style and wear your bun however you like! Ahh it´s so easy and so now. And it always stays on trend. If you haven´t noticed, the eye make-up in these two images are also cool with the new nail lacquer :)

H&M this week...





























Haha, I've been shopping this week again.Makes me feel amazing. It's only Wednesday and I have bought three items - loving each one of them!

I bought an amazing golden jacket! I'll post a picture of it later. Then I bought a biiiiig,warm, white jumper! Ah it's cute.
Today, after drooling after these amazing peep-toe pumps with a zebra pattern, I ordered them. I feel happy I did so...Now I don't need to worry if I won't get them! I bought them in turquoise from Spain last summer...They didn't even have the zebra ones there though. Now I have them in both colours! Gawd. This little fashionista is super duper excited to pick that package up! I don't know how I do it but everytime I buy a new piece of clothing, millions of outfits flash before my eyes. I can see millions of different combinations with that certain piece and my other clothes. I think that's pretty cool. I'm proud of that skill!

I'm also going to Florida next Monday. I'm excited! Yay lots and lots of shopping ahead!

Big hair?



I'm having a movie night in tonight with my mates from school. I kinda like being invited somewhere outside school, but anyway...I don't know what to wear. I know it's not that important as they have all seen me a million times before but I'd like to wear something I feel comfortable in and recognize that I am purely myself in that outfit. So now I am trying to find out some ideas. I have already thought to go there wearing a casual outfit but having the thing in my hair. Now when I think of it, this kind of hair is a bit too much! So I'm giving up the idea about that....And with my long hair I should start now to get it done for the party! I don't have enough energy to do that today. After exam week I am sooooo tired... And one more test to go. I think I'll just receive some help from my hair straighteners and go with that. Now I'm going to brainstorm my outfit!

Emma



I remember the times Emma Watson was just the little Hermione from Harry Potter movies. Now she has grown up a lot and she's become the new face of Burberry. Me- I love it! Emma Watson has an amazing style, I think. She looks glamourous and sophisticated. I know lots of people who have an amazing style that I adore but she's recently become one of them. I like their styles as they are not very different from mine; they wear clothes I would like to wear. I've found many lovely pics about Emma and she wore lovely clothes...And to be honest, she must be a very sweet girl! That's the image I have got when I've seen her interviews on TV and internet... And I am pretty sure I'm right :)

UGGs


As I own 4 pairs of UGG's I started thinking new ways to wear them. I am not very much of a jeans and plain T-shirt kind of girl, or even less of a jeans and hoodie- girl, so that doesn't really come across as a choice.UGG's are the most comfortable boots ever, and wearing them you'll never need to worry about having Victoria Beckham- feet. But I always have a struggle when thinking how to create a perfect outfit that includes UGG's.I want to wear them and still feel like ME. These thoughts are coming a bit late as it's been a year and a half since I got my first UGG's. Just wanted to get some new inspiration to stop wearing boots that make my toes drop off as they freeze! I did find something I like...

Street Styles I Love










As I was searching for the pic of the floral leggings, I found many amazing street styles. I haven't done that for a long long time so now I feel really refreshed and got millions of new ideas. Most of the styles are for summer, so I can't really have many of them right now at this time of the year. I would freeze out there... But of course it's not about copying it and doing exactly the same thing. It's about looking for an inspiration and getting ideas for your daily wardrobe. Or that's what I think it is. I am not very much into copying other people, I like to make things up on my own and just have some ideas that I have collected by looking at how other people dress. I have noticed though, that it's hard to keep up your fashionista-feeling in winter because it is way much harder when you have to think about what kind of shoes you can wear out there and what coat do you need to put on. Especially when there's snow out there! Anyway I found some styles that I liked or even loved and that are doing it for me just now. Please enjoy!

What Essie fell for today...


I love the floral leggings! To be honest, I have wanted some for quite a long time now as I once saw a picture of someone wearing them. The ones I saw were a bit more colourful though but still I love them as a bargain. Just googled it and now I have found the pic. So there it is. I was supposed to buy Doc Marten's this Christmas but then I shopped a bit too much and now, I have no money for them. I would have bought the basic black ones, of course. But well yeah, that's a cool way to wear the leggings- black shoes,white tee and leather jacket. So delicious I'm dying for it! I have been desperately lurking in every closet in this apartment; still no legging's left from the past decades. So I think it's now time for me to go down the shops and look for 'em - but at first I am planning to search from online if any of the shops have them with a reasonable price. If not, then I'm off to hunt them from every store! I have made my mind now!
