Weekly photos #28

I can't wait until winter break! haha I'm so tired because of college and I just don't like going. I don't want to complain because I know in the end it's good for me, but at the moment it doesn't seem like it. Anyway, I've met a few people who are making it a little better, so I'm grateful for that.

1. I love my new Revlon nail polish! I think it screams fall and I know I'm going to be wearing it a lot. If you want to know what color it is, check out my nail of the day post :)
2. I took that picture after I had to go up the stairs in my building because someone was in line on the elevator already and one of them was broken. I was extremely tired.
3. And here's a picture inside the elevator. I took it because I don't do stuff with my hair very often, so yeah, I had a braid that day.
4. My father bought this pumpkin the other day after I said that I wanted to carve one, so I might do that this week. I'll show you the result on my next weekly post, but I don't think it's going to turn out right haha

Weekly photos #25

I start my junior year of college tomorrow!! That's kind of exciting, but I'd prefer to stay at home the whole time because I'm really lazy and I don't really like college or my major that much. Anyway, I just wanted to share that with all of you.

1. I made an Oreo milkshake and I know it looks weird and not good, but it was delicious. I just put oreos, milk and vanilla ice cream. And then my sister asked me to make more!
2. This week's been really cloudy and rainy, and I hated it. I hate the rain because umbrellas are just uncomfortable and it gets worse if it's windy, which it was :(
3 & 4. This is just my outfit of the day from Friday when I had dinner with a few of my friends. You can check it out here.

I'm going to need to meet new people all over again this year because my schedule is completely different from my friends' and I'm kinda scared since it's my third year and everyone's already in like a group of friends, but hopefully I'll find nice people to sit with :)

Haul: a few new things

First of all, I want to apologize for not posting as much as I used to but I'm pretty busy with college stuff. Anyway, this week I've bought a few things that I want to share with all of you. It's not much but I don't really have time to shop either (which makes me super sad).

The first thing that I've been loving is my new Marc by Marc Jacobs iPhone cover. It has printed colorful glasses and I think it's really cute.

My second favorite thing is my new purse. I got it at H&M a few days ago and it was only 19.95€, which I think is a really good price for this bag, since I find it very cute and useful. I thought I was only going to use it when I go out with my friends or shopping but I'm also using it for college because my netbook laptop fits inside.

While I was at H&M I picked up a few head bands. I know this is kind of random but I've wanted some for a while and when I saw them I new I have to get them. I got two packets of three head bands each, for 5.90€ in total.

And also from H&M I got a scarf. It is light weight so it's great for spring. The pattern has gold chains and some things that remind me of old building's decorations or the thing that covers the space between the ceiling and the wall in my house (I don't know what it's called).

You probably (or not) know already that I love fashion books, so I got a new one. It is The Little Dictionary of Fashion by Christian Dior. It contains explanations of fashion items as well as pretty drawings and pictures.

And lastly I went to Kiko and I picked up three nail polishes that I think are cool for spring and summer.

Numbers: 355, 358, 236

oh, and I have a question for you: do you know where to get the China Glaze Hunger Games collection online with reasonable shipping charges?

Best of 2011 Tag!

This tag was created by Bethany (aka MacBarbie07 on YouTube) and I liked it and thought it was a fun thing to do. It's basically a 2011 favorite post but it does include more than fashion and beauty. So here it is:

Beauty:
1. Favorite foundation: I'm not a big fan of foundations and I barely find ones that work for my skin type but this one is pretty good and stays a long time.

Super Stay 24 hours by Maybelline

2. Favorite concealer:

Pure Mineral Cover by Maybelline

3. Favorite powder:

Dream Mat Powder by Maybelline

4. Favorite blush: if you haven't tried this one, plase do, because you're going to love it. I didn't even thought I was going to like a peachy blush but I fell in love.

Baked Blush in "Luminoso" by Milani

5. Favorite eyeshadow: I don't know if this is cheating but it's just 1 product, so I think it's OK. As some of you may know, I use this all the time because it offers a lot of different possibilities.

Naked Palette by Urban Decay

6. Eyeliner/Mascara: my favorite eyeliner this year was the Slide On, Glide On in "Jet Black" by NYX; and my favorite mascara was and has always been the Colossal Volume Express waterproof by Maybelline.

7. Lip Product: I love lip products so I had to cheat and choose two different things. One is a lip gloss and the other one is a lipstick but they're both amazing.

Mega Shine Lip Gloss in "tea rose" by NYX and "Creme cup" by MAC

8. Skincare product: I don't really use that many skin care products, so I'm skipping this one.

9. Nail polish: I'm cheating again. I cannot choose just one of my nail polishes, specially for a whole year cause there have been a few that I've been loving this year.

"Fifth Avenue" by China Glaze, "Bobbing for baubles" by Essie and "Blazing pink" by Dior

Hair:
1. Shampoo: Tresemmé shampoo for straight hair (my hair is wavy but I use this one).
2. Conditioner: the one that goes with the shampoo, so Tresemmé as well.
3. Hairspray: Elnett by L'Oreal.

Fashion:
1. Favorite clothing piece: it was hard to find my favorite one, but I ended up choosing this scarf, cause I used it a lot since I got it and I feel like it's pretty unique and beautiful.

from Zara

2. Jewelry piece: I love turquoise and I wear this bracelet every day along with a few others.

from Bijoux Briggite (I think that's how you spell it)

3. Shoes: these have been my favorite shoes this winter time and I know this is supposed to be a whole year round thing, but I love them so much they have to be it.

from Marypaz

4. Bag: this is the bag that I've been carrying around most part of the year. I love that it has a lot of pockets and it's also pretty big so it fits everything that I carry on a daily basis. I even took this to class (it was at its fullest).

from Stradivarius

Random:
1. Movie: I don't know if I have a favorite one that came out this year but I really liked the last Harry Potter one.
2. TV show: Pretty Little Liars
3. Book: The Hunger Games. The saga it's amazing, and I'm currently reading the second one.
4. Food: Salad. It's my favorite food of all time, so it's been the same this year.
5. Beverage: Nestea and Pepsi

I tag all of you that read this and if you do the tag, please let me know cause I'd love to read it :)

H&M and Stradivarius haul!

This morning I went shopping to H&M and Stradivarius and here's what I bought:

Scarf from H&M - 9.95€

I love scarves, so when I saw this one I had to buy it. It could go along with the tribal trend even though it's not one of my favorites; but for some reason (and you'll realized pretty soon) I'm loving brown colors for this fall.

Oversized top from H&M - 19.95€

This top looks huge on the hanger and it's pretty big even though it's a size "small", so I'm going to wear it with a skinny belt around the waist to make it look preppier.

Wedge booties from H&M - 39.95€ 

These booties are my absolute favorite item from this haul. The wedge is not too tall (8.5 cm) so that's great cause I'm planning on wearing them to class and I don't want to look like a giant.

Metal ring from H&M - 4.95€ 

My mom didn't like this ring when I showed it to her, but I love it. If you see it from the front side, the top is kinda flat and looks almost as a mirror.

Bracelet from H&M - 2.95€

I do not like snake prints and all that kind of stuff, but this bracelet looks very cute on and I just had to buy it (it was also VERY cheap as you can see).

Trench coat from Stradivarius - 59.95€ 

This kind of trench coats give a very preppy vibe with every outfit, so I think it's perfect for me. I also love the color (you've realized already). I've been wearing this kind of coat since I was very little but there was this period of time when I stopped liking it; somehow, the love is back.

Elastic pants from Stradivarius - 22.95€

I never thought I was going to buy any tight pants but it looks very pretty on, and it's perfect to wear it with boots this fall/winter. The color is chocolate brown, even though this photo looks a little different.

I hope you liked it and maybe got some ideas for fall fashion :)
