Hey guys! I was really in the mood to take photos today because it was so lovely but unfortunately the light was just too harsh in the morning! I've found a backdrop I like, my own little outfit-photo-taking-area, and the direction I like to shoot in just wasn't good for the position of the sun. BOOHOO. I did make a little more effort with my outfit than usual and I seemed to get funny looks for some reason. It's not like I was wearing my JC litas on campus.. I wore my current favourite top (the lace one from Azul by Moussy), a nude/camel blazer from F21, my black leather dr martens and I topped it off with this hat and gold choker from topshop. I have a presentation on DNA tomorrow for my criminal justice systems module. OH JEEZ, me and public speaking is really not a great combo. Especially when my speaking partner is the girl who I'm always in fits of childish giggles with. This won't go down well. Wish me luck.
LONG TIME NO TALK EH? What is wrong with me, I totally thought I would be posting a lot more but hey, I didn't think I would be this busy. I actually have been doing quite a bit of studying. I would probably say it involves a lot of reading and marking and post-it-ing the notes I took in class so I know what questions I need to ask my lecturers or what notes I'm missing so I can ask my classmates. I love post-its. Besides that I've been spending a lot of time with my mum and the Manfriend. I've also done shopping here and there. I filmed a haul video last week which never went up until now because, well, I'm a lazy bum. SO HERE IT IS (well, down at the bottom of this post to be precise). At some point in the video I saw that I don't think I'll be doing that much more shopping while I'm here. I totally lied to myself. How often do you go into the same store twice or three times in one week and always find something new? That happened to me..
So excited to wear this on a night out or in summer
I love that the brushes came with this little caps - it's so useful!
I've been dying to buy one of the naked palettes but I never knew which one to go for and I never saw the two palettes in the same store to be able to compare... until the other day. I had a little date with the Manfriend and before heading off to watch the hunger games, I dragged him around zara and sephora. AND YAY I finally got to stand there in the store with the two palettes side by side. I'm not really a silver eye shadow kinda girl so what won me over is the fact that the naked 2 has blackout and pretty much only silver eyeshadow. I also like the fact that it comes with a two ended brush and that it shuts quite securely. I never wear eyeshadow during the day but I think this neutral shimmery palette will motivate me to make a little bit more of an effort with being too over the top.
I wore this outfit when I met up with the Manfriend for some delicious bagels and a little stroll around town. We checked out Extrabold and I bought some new Dr Denim Kissy jeans because I ripped a mahoosive hole in them when I took a tumble 2 months ago while on the cobblestones of Edinburgh. It was not pretty and I still have the scar. I decided to get a black and a dark grey pair they are so comfy! I absolutely love how stretchy they are. I normally live in leggings and I really hate jeans so these are perfect for me. I've been wanting to get a pair of pastel coloured trousers in either pink or mint. I've also had my eyes on the floral patterned trousers from Topshop.
I'm sitting on my bed and currently trying to find the motivation to finish all the things I have on my list: presentation research, qualitative interview design and overall revision. I have all that to do just for uni and there are so many things I still want to do while I'm here in Luxembourg. I was originally going to go to Ikea to check out some furniture for our living room but it started pouring down with rain and I guess it was kinda of a kick in the butt for me to get into my work. I'm going to start off with the easiest assignment (which luckily happens to be the first one that's due in) and then build up my motivation from there.
I wore this outfit yesterday when I went into town with my mum to have lunch and do a bit of shopping. A collective haul video is on its way! I wore the same lace shirt but this time I went for a bit of a darker look by wearing it with my topshop leather jacket, black leggings and my new black boots from R&E. I was surprised to see that a Gucci store has opened because last time I was in Luxembourg there was no sign up announcing the opening. Come on Marc Jacobs. I'm waiting for yoooou. By the looks of it, considering the condition it is in right now, I doubt it will be opening anytime soon - booohoo.
