May 14

Hey there! I can't believe we're already half way through May... The past month and a half have gone so fast even though it seems like I've been in my apartment forever! 

Moving to the city's been such a great decision and has definitely improved my social life. I love having friends over, going bar hopping or just have a casual meal at McD's. The good life! 

Soon I will have to go through the agony of my driving test. I'm pretty sure I'll fail the first time as I've been driving alone for a while now and have gathered a few mannerisms I should get rid of fast: Driving with one hand on the wheel and one on the stick, for example. And grabbing for mints when I'm at a red light (it's almost compulsive and I don't even like mints that much). 

On to some photos! 

I got this super pretty headband on eBay for like €3. I'd been looking for nice hair accessories because I've been wearing my hair up in a bun a lot these days and €3 that's like, a sammich! 

My new favourite perfume. Let me quickly review it: IT SMELLS SO GUUD MAN! 

Inspired by a pin I saw on Pinterest, I made these frozen yoghurt covered berries. Some of them were really nice. Others were sour and yuck. 

Funky, because the berries I ate before freezing were all sweet? Perhaps freezing berries make them gross and blergh? 

I've been trying really hard to get my ass back into drawing and painting. Now that I live alone I have all the space I could ever want to get messy but I'm starting to fear I'm actually just extremely lazy. I know I have serious issues with failure but could they be that serious that I feel nothing but paralyzed whenever I want to start some kind of creative process?
And where the fuck did this go wrong?
Most importantly: How do I solve it?
WHAT THE FUCK YOU GUYS.

/end rant

I'm gonna fish the last few socks out of the washer then get some sleep. Perhaps in a next post I will elaborate on the batcrap crazy dreams I've been having lately!

Soon, along with that apartment tour I promised. (I'm not done hanging pictures and moving stuff around!!)

Silver Spurs

Hey everyone! I present to you, my first blog post from my new place! It's nowhere near done but if you follow me on Facebook you might have noticed I have officially moved in. It's been a struggle at times, the moving, the shopping, the building Ikea furniture, but with a little help from my friends, I managed to make a home out of this apartment. 

Since it's been 6 months sine my last outfit post (YIKES!) I figured this was way overdue: 

Winged eyeliner and orangey lipstick (H&M)

That would be me pretending to be a Person of Average Height

And this is a detail of either my butt or the print on my jeans. Whichever way you want, really. 

Top and bag (old) from Urban Outfitters

Necklace from Forever21

Paisley printed jeans from Zara

Sandals from Clarks

I haven't quite figured out the best place for outfit photos yet but for now, this will do. I mostly went for this corner because it's the only corner that doesn't have boxes and bags and what not haha. And curtains dammit, I need sheer curtains! There are traffic lights in the street I live in and I always get the feeling people can look right into my living room, which is awkward if you're posing for a camera hahaha. 

I'm just gonna go and make me some dinner and watch another epi of The Cleveland Show now. I hope you guys had a great weekend and chins up for the work week!

PS: YES I will be doing a tour of my place once everything is in order but as I said it's a mess right now and my couch doesn't even have a couch cover hence the blanket I threw over it haha. Soon, my friends, soon!

Friday Favourites #4: H&M

Guys! I'm so happy it's Friday! The week sorta flew right by, luckily because I still have a ton o' stuff to do before I can finally move in ma criiib!
But for now, this blogpost will stick to some pictures of things that I've been eyeing at an all time favourite: H&M. I must say H&Ms A/W collection never really manages to impress me, and then Spring comes and I'm like ERMAGERD I want everything!

Photos: H&M, obv.

I ADORE these earrings. I'm really not much of an earring type of gal (mostly because I'm on the phone a lot at the office and dangly earrings PISS ME OFF when I'm on the phone) but these! The opulence, I love it. They make me want to go to some tropical island while sipping equally brightly coloured cocktails in drop crotched pants (SERIOUSLY).
I've been informed that these babies should be hitting the stores in May for €9.95, so if you need me during lunch hour, you know where I'll be.

I like my clothes to have some texture in them. I know fashion people tend to rave about basics but why wear basic pieces if you can wear AWESOME pieces, amirite? This tulle top with appliques is one of those things that draw my attention like a bullseye. As well as fringe. And tassles. And embroidery.

The top will be €29.95, the suede bag €79.95.

Since moving into your own place is expensive as fuck, I'm trying to focus on things I really need, you know, things like NOT A BIKINI. Although buying this set would mean you're supporting a good cause since it's part of the H&M for Water collection. €4.95 for the bottoms, €14.95 for the top (which I think is a bit steep but hey I don't need a bikini.)

The bag, which kinda looks like suede, is €79.95, which is in my opinion an okay price for a decent bag. 

I know this whole sports thing is quite a big trend right now but this cardigan and mesh inset camisole is about as sporty I'll go: Not that sporty. I basically like the cardigan for the glittery trim and the camisole for the plunging neckline. Sparkles and titties. As I said, not that sporty. 

These items will sell for €39.95 and €24.95. 

So this is what my shopping list would look like if I had €224.60 to spare. I could buy a very decent vacuum cleaner with that money...
Boo adulthood, boo! I just want to keep spending irrational amounts of money on clothes!
:'(

More Spring/Summer wishes here on my Pinterest board!

At bay

So I think you can guess the reason for my absence, haha. I've been spending most of my free time putting together my Ikea förnitöre, cleaning and moving decorations back and forth, haha.
I really wanted this transition to be smooth and easy but it's been messy, exhausting and troubling, I even think I picked up a stomach infection along the way... So that was my Easter break, boooo!!

I'm guessing it won't be much longer though. I just need a washing machine, an oven and some pots and pans and I'll be good to go. I can't wait to sift through my things and pack! I hate having stuff here, with my parents, and there, at my new place. It's MEGA frustrating, how do kids with separated parents do this??! It's like I'm stuck in limbo.

Seeing as it's way past bedtime, I'm just going to stop typing and try to get some sleep now (have I mentioned my SUPER ANNOYING ALLERGIES?). Adios!

First peep

Hey guys! I've had such an exciting Saturday, it's unreal. Yesterday evening while I was delighted by a McDo meal, I received the phone call: I could pick up the keys to my (rented!) apartment. I was over the moon!

Gnarly! 

So that's me posing with the "TOO LATE ASSHOLE IT'S MINE NOW" sign (well literally it says "rented", but I guess you can catch my drift). Don't let the sock bun and glasses fool you, it's still me! 

My best mate Steve and I went to the thrift shop that had announced a whole new batch of awesome stuff coming in so you can imagine the excitement of the local hipsters and old people: The store was completely packed. Nonetheless I got some super sweet stuff: A copper decorative plate (for candles and baubles), a really old bag to store binoculars (totes putting my camera in there, no fucks are given) and the big ticket item: This boudoir chair. 

It's got this beautiful chinoiserie style imagery of a peacock, it was love at first sight. It's uncomfortable as hell so I'm probably putting it in the bedroom. It's so gorgeous and tacky, and for €12,50, dragging it home (thanks Stevie!) was totally worth it. 

We went to Chi-Chi's afterwards to enjoy a good burger, headed on to the DIY store for paint swatches and decided to call it a day. 

So right now I'm just chillin' giving my feet a rest after a tiring but absolutely fantabulous day. It's so good to be taking these giant steps into adulthood with my close friends. They may say that happiness is a journey, not a destination, but hell I can smell the happy around the corner, I'm almost there. And let me tell you it smells AWESOME.

I hope you enjoy your weekend, my loves! 

PS: Don't forget to start following me on bloglovin' now that Google Reader's decided to call it a day!
