In a heart beat

 

Get in my boat
we'll sail away
iv'e always been scared
scared of the sea

I'll give you some string
you'll find your way home
and i will be waiting
when you return

August Favorites

Ok, so September is here, saying goodbye to summer although I hope we still get to enjoy some "Hot summer days" in September too. I thought I'd do a monthly favorites for the fist time, just because it seems like a fun thing to do. So I'm gonna do it... And I can't wait... So here we go... :)

Favorite moment of the month?

- Just in general spending time with my friends, catching up and making plans for the future :)

Favorite book?

I've read so many books this summer but my favorite in August was The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger. I loved it because it reminded me of my old job (same environment, same "healthy-food" obsessed people and the same feeling of having to work there for just a little longer! And of course the book is filled with fashion which is always a plus for me :)

Favorite movie?

- The Great Gatsby-yeah it was my favorite movie of August but I didn't really get to watch a lot of movies last month and in general Gatsby was a little bit disappointing. Maybe I was hyped about it too much since I heard so many good reviews but it was just a good movie, one that you don't think about after it's finished.

Favorite fashion find?

- So I've wanted this jacket ever since I saw it on Vanessa Paradise but they never had my size :( and then one time I walk into H&M and go to the SALE area (which is where I feel like home) and see this jacket, not in my size but still in a size that looks good on me :) and on sale!! My but was clpping with joy all the was to the cashier :)

 

Favorite make up or hair product?

- I bought the Pantene Aqua Light Nourishing Mask and I love it! It makes my hair soft and it smells amazing. Although I'm currently looking for something to really hydrate my hair since the sun and the sea have ruined the living daylights out of it :) Any suggestions??

Favorite Quote?

- "Whatever makes you feel bad, leave it. Whatever makes you smile, keep it."

XoXo,

**The Liebster award**

So something really wonderful happened :) I was actually nominated for the Liebster award by My Fair Lala I first of all I just have to say THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH :) It really means a lot to me since I'm a new blogger and this is such a good opportunity for new blogs to be acknowledged and meet other bloggers :)

The Leibster award is given out by fellow bloggers to help them connect and be blog friends, and is given to blogs with under 200 followers. You are nominated by another blogger, answer some of their questions (which is always fun) and then you get to nominate some other blogs that you find interesting and want other people to enjoy them! 


Rules: 

• Thank the lovely who nominated you by linking them back and shouting them out. 

• Answer the 11 questions your nominee has given to you.

• Pick 9-10 other bloggers with under 200 followers to nominate for the award and let them know about it by going to their blogs and telling them.

• Come up with 11 new questions to ask those who you nominate.

Here are the questions from My Fair Lala:

1) What is your favourite accessory? 

Definitely necklaces. I've fallen in love with them in the past year because I've realized that you can completely restyle a very dull outfit with the right necklace.

2) How would you describe your style in 5 words?

Chic, comfortable, girly, casual and "felingoftheday-ish" :)

3) Who is your favourite artist/band at the moment?

I've found so many cool bands recently that I'm madly in love with a few :) Love Emily and the Woods and Observer Drift, but also anything that is current and has a good beat :)

4) Whose style do you find inspirational?

I just generally like anyone that is visually in love with fashion. I love it when I browse other blogs and see a style combination that I would have never came up with myself! I personally love "accessible fashion" which means you can feel fashionable for a reasonable price. Not everybody is loaded with shopping money :)

5) What is your favourite colour lipstick?

Dark red and fuchsia pink

 

6) If could choose 1 make-up brand to use for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Going with the whole accessible style policy, I have to go with CATRICE. I love their products and adore their prices! 

 

7) If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?

On one hand I would be a seagull since I could just sore over the sea and watch the sunset every day. But on the other hand, I would also be a dog since I believe they are capable to love in a way even humans can't :)

8) What is your favourite thing about blogging?

Expression what I feel, getting to know a whole new community of bloggers and finally doing something I was too afraid to do for too long.

9) Which is your favourite blog to read?

This depends on the day I'm having. But I love just randomly browsing and landing on blogs I've never read before.

10) If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you like to go?

You can't expect me to name just one! Bali because of its beautiful beaches and sunsets, New York because I've always believed that is where I belong, Montreal because I want to revisit every place I loved as a child and India because I'm in desperate need of a cultural shock!

11) What is your best beauty tip?

Garnier BB cream.. love the living bits of this thing! :) 

My questions for the lovely bloggers:) :

1) Outfit you feel most beautiful in?

2) Worst beauty product you ever bought?

3) A place you've already traveled to and would go again in an instant?

4) Best piece of clothing?

5) If you could live in any part of history, what would it be?

6) Best song for Autumn?

7) Flats or heels?

8) Best book you ever read and why?

9) What made you smile recenty?

10) What makes you proud of yourself?

11) Your favorite quote?

We stayed in a small fishing town called Jelsa and I can't remember the last time I cried because I had to go home!

Being yourself

Hello Doves,

So I've never really written such a personal post but I really think I should get this out of me. I've had a real struggle in being myself for quite some time now, the main problem being the fact that I'm not able to find myself. All my life I've been designed to follow rules, to obey a system that basically led me from elementary through high school and to the end of college. And now this system is broken among other things due to the fact that I realized, that if I plan to follow this system for the rest of my life, I wont live even a bit. But the feeling of being lost, without any clue where to go from here, where to find yourself, is getting to me.
But still I am positive about the future, believing I will find myself, I will find my passion and I will begin to LIVE. That was one of the reasons I started this blog, because it was something I wanted for such a long time, but was too afraid I have nothing to offer. But I guess sometimes you just have to do things that scare you the most in order to get life-changing moments in your life.
SO what I'm trying to say is, don't be afraid. Don't ever let anybody let you feel that what you accomplished in life is worthless and even more important, learn to love yourself! I'm trying to do this for the first time in my life and it's gonna take a lot of time but I truly believe that accepting myself for who I am will eventually be the most life changing moment of my life!


Love being YOU**

FALLing in love

Hello Doves,

So even though classes don't start for another month and I still have a very romantic summer vacation ahead of me, I started thinking about my FALL COLLECTION. I made up a couple of different styles that I think I'll be wearin in September and when classes start in October.

 Still a little "Summer in the City" :) For an afternoon stroll around town when you still want to feel stylish.

 An everyday outfit, something simple and cute :)

 I'm absolutely in love with boyfriend jeans but am for some reason unable to find some for myself! This outfit is perfect for a picnic, a lunch date with your girlfriends or just for running errands since it super comfortable and chic at the same time!

Hope there are still some hot days ahead since I really want to wear this outfit! For days you want to feel sexy and show the middle finger at the same time ;)

New stuff makes me happy

So I went on Asos.com because I've been looking for a new bag to start off the new busy years and I wasn't able to find anything that I liked. SO after searching for about 2 minutes I instantly fell in love with this bag from NEW LOOK! And guess what; it was on sale!!

And here is just one a of the very simple ways I would style the bag for a weekend getaway when the weather will get a little bit more chilly :)

Hope you like it**
