It's nearing the end of Fashion Week and I thought I'd share with you the collection that made my day a little more colourful, literally, and for some reason has been at the back of my mind ever since. Yes, it's Moschino's A/W collection by Jeremy Scott. I don't know what exactly drew me in, but I just loved the creativity/playfulness and the attention to detail on the dresses. If you look closely you can see the barcode and other intricate details on the dresses. So I picked out a few of my favourites from the runway, as well as a photo of Rita Ora rocking one of Moschino's pieces.

Usually I'd be all for sparkly and elegant dresses, as i'm not a very daring type person when it comes to fashion, however every now and then I get that little urge to wear something out of my comfort zone and this collection just hit the spot.

Hope you enjoyed reading :)

My next post will be a review of februarys Glossybox.

Michael Bublé and my OOTN

Happy Monday Everyone!! 

So yesterday was a day that I had been waiting for, for about a good four months. Four months for what? Four months since I had bought the concert tickets to see Michael Bublé. I was especially excited as it was my first concert ever. I know, i know i'm 21 years old and haven't been to a concert before and actually I have no good excuse. I guess I never got round to it. 

I was so nervous before we got to the concert, as I had no idea what to expect. But at the same time I was scared my expectations would be too high. Though, when i got there and sat in my seat I was just so excited. They started off with an opening act, a band called Naturally 7, who sung acappella. They were amazing. They were able to mimic different instruments like the trumpet, drums and guitar with just their voice. It may sound silly, but I was completely gobsmacked. 

Finally the time had come for Michael Bublé to come on. My heart started racing and the suspense was building and then there he was. It all felt so surreal. But I was so happy that he sang all my favourite songs. Each number was so spectacular. For one there was fire flaming out of the stage, then some sort of fireworks and raining heart confetti. He is just so amazing live. I was so overwhelmed. But I will shut up now as I could go on and on. As you can obviously guess, I absolutely loved it. I was lucky enough to get a few good pictures of him in the flesh and on screen so I thought I'd share a couple with you. You can also see the outfit I wore to the concert down below. 

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed :)

My 'Go to' Hairstyles

It has been about a week since I got my hair cut. So now that my hair is quite a bit shorter I have been playing with it a lot more, even though I have less hair to play with. It's crazy how many different hairstyles there are out there. I have actually tried out a few even some that look/are really hard but fail miserably. At the moment I am only able to do the simple and easy ones, but hopefully I'll become a pro in no time. So I thought i'd show you my top three 'go to' hairstyles at the moment, and maybe give a little inspiration for others. Unfortunately, my hair isn't long enough to do a fishtail anymore which is my favourite hairdo. 

#throwback




I must admit I do miss my long hair but it was about time to get it cut, as I hadn't done so in forever and I was starting to get split ends. I don't know why, it might just be my imagination, but every time I get my hair cut it always seems to be shorter than I ask them to cut it. 

So here are my 3 favourite hairstyles at the moment.


1. Doughnut Bun 







2. High pony tail with a gold ring from H&M








3. Braid

Glossybox


My first Glossy Box has arrived! :)
I've heard so many good things about beauty box subscriptions and luckily we have Glossybox here in Sweden. So at the beginning of January I subscribed to Glossybox and have finally received my first box. Since it was my first box and the theme was back to basics I was really happy with most of the products I got.

For those of you who don't know what Glossybox is, it is a beauty box which contains five different beauty products. Also, you don't know what you're going to get until you get your box. Some products are normal sized while some are smaller testers.

Only 139kr a month in Sweden.

Glossybox in the UK is £ 10 and in the US it's $ 21.

I definitely feel like I get my moneys worth.

You can also collect glossydots for reviewing products and in Sweden once you reach 500 glossydots you get a free box. 













 A brow pencil that keeps the brows and eyebrow shadow in place. I think it is the regular size. It definitely keeps the brows in place and protects the eyebrow shadow.

 Sumita - Brow Set


Original size charcoal konjac sponge that exfoliates the skin. Really good sponge that washes away make up, makes my skin shine and feel really soft afterwards.

 Karmameju - Konjac Sponge



This newly released toothpaste is supposed to whiten the teeth and take away discolouration. I've started using it but I'm not sure if I believe that it whitens the teeth.

 Oral-B 3D White Luxe Glamorous Shine


 This mastey color protecting oil treatment is applied in the hair. It repairs the hair and protects it from heat. There have been so many good reviews online so hopefully it works.

♥ Mastey - Color Protecting Leave-In Oil Treatment


Lastly a little tube that minimises your pores, which you can use both under or over make up. Works really well and smells really nice as well  :) 

 Benefit Cosmetics - The Porefessional

My New Back Pack


My backpack is finally here :) Yay!
So the plan plan is to use this bag for uni. I know it may look small, but I can actually fit everything in it, including my notepad and books. You can adjust the size of the bag with the zippers on the side and it has a lot of little pockets on the inside and outside of the bag. I really like the logo of NYPD it sort of reminds me of the Tory Burch logo but nicer. It comes in two colours: black and blue/turquoise (the one that is in the picture). I actually wanted the black one, but it was sold out and I didn't want to wait. Really happy I chose the blue one in the end!
