BLEU ET ORANGE

Hey Lovers,

Since the weather is so bad all the time and I would love to stay inside all day long I had the idea to shoot inside. Well normally I don't like it that much but I have to honour to live in a absolutely gorgeous flat and so it isn't that bad at all.

Well I wanted to wear something summery although it was raining outside and I created this look.

The look is clean and chic and I really love the casual but though chic feel of it.

Lately I have been loving bright colours more and more. This blue silk-blouse is one of my favourite clothing idioms at the moment and of course I love the shoes. I had no chance to wear them outside.
I choose to pair the shoes to the blouse because orange is the complementary colour of blue and it matches perfect. 

On the eyes: GOSH Eyeshadow in BROWN

On the lips: ESTÉE LAUDER Lipstick - FIG 

I applied a bright lipstick because I think it matches the look best. The outfit is simple but has colour in it and in my opinion it looks much better to wear a bright colour on the lips to drag a little focus on it as well. 

Necklace: H&M

Blouse: ZARA

Trousers: 1921

Shoes: Vic Matié

Actually I'm trying to find "my style" and I am a person who can't decide between the "cool" and the "chic" fashion part. I tend to go with the chic part because I think it'll last longer and I have to say that there was a time I hated to go shopping because I always asked myself the same question: "Does this really fit you? Do you really need this?"

Lately I started to try out new thing and I stopped thinking to much. 

I know which colours fit me and I know that I won't buy any too cool idioms.

Normally I am into grey, beige, black white and all the other natural and very basic but though absolutely pretty colours and since I have stopped over-thinking about that whole clothing thing I bought a few "cooler" idioms and I absolutely love them.

Maybe I am going to be doing a collective haul on these idioms.

I am wearing ESSIE CAPRI on my toenails right now and I actually thought it was a little bit more red but I like it although. You have to know that I am the laziest person belonging to toenails. ;)





I wish you all a beautiful day and

LE JARDIN ET NOUVEAUTÉ

Hey Lovers,

Last weekend was the only beautiful day in a long time and guess what? It has been raining since then. The sun was shining and I got a few new things.

In the afternoon I prepared everything for the BBQ in the evening. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of the yummy food but Summer hasn't even started so I am sure I'll get another chance to photograph a typical BBQ at Maison Maria. ;)

Okay let's start with what I got last weekend:

The first thing I got is a pair of shoes and OMG I am so in love with these. I have been looking at them since they arrived at my parents shop. These wedges are from the company Vic Matié, an Italian shoe manufacture. And of course they have a neon orange detail. I am so obsessed with the colour orange right now. It always used to be my favourite colour when I was a little child and now I like it again very much. :)

I went to the drugstore and got a few things I really needed and as always I couldn't resist getting some goodies. I stopped at the ESSIE counter and got a orange nail polish with a hint of red in it.

The colour is called CAPRI and I love the island Capri very much. It is extremely beautiful there.

The next beauty related idiom I got is an eyeshadow from the company GOSH, which I really wanted to try out for a very long time. The company came out in Austria last fall I think, but I am not sure. I actually own one product of them, a velvet lip primer, which I never use, not because it isn't a good product, but I am too lazy to use 500 products in the morning. 

Anyways I got the eyeshadow in the colour BROWN.

The eyeshadow has a warm undertone and a few sparkles in it. I think it is the perfect everyday colour because it can be used on its own. Apply it all over the lid and blend it away to create a soft shade and build the colour in the crease. Blend everything well together and you have a beautiful and little edgy everyday look.

This is how the colour looks blended away.

It would also look very good mixed with a lighter or even a darker colour.

The pigmentation of the product is also very good.

I used the eyeshadow the following week and noticed that without a primer underneath it'll smudge away easily. 

But with a good primer it is a good eyeshadow.

The thing I like the most is of course the colour.

As the weather was so nice I went out and took some pictures of our beautiful garden. I love to be in nature and I love flowers. We have a lovely rockery. As child I used to play with all the stones and I even built little houses for my barbies and little dolls. But I also liked to climb onto the bigger stones or play football with my friends.

We have a lot of fruit trees and shrubs. We also have red and black currants in the early summer. I absolutely love the juice and even more I like the yummy jam that we make out of them. Here you can see red currants in the middle of Spring. They are still green but I am looking forward to eat them. 

I wore simple black jeans, a jeans-shirt and coral-pink nail-polish that day.

I absolutely love to be barefoot. To me it is a sign of freedom and it makes me happy. Also it is good for your health. 

I hope the sun will be up in Austria soon an that Summer returns again. I am sick of wearing thick jackets and Hunters - although they are pretty stylish - and I am sick to freeze all the time. 

The only good thing this weather brings with it is that nature is able to regenerate a little bit.

The glaciers won't melt as soon as they would if there was extremely hot weather.

The wood will grow fast and there might be new springs. 

Anyways, I wish you all a nice evening and 

TAG: FORGOTTEN LOVE-PRODUCTS

Hey everyone!

Today I want to post another TAG. 

This TAG is very different from a lot of others. It's not about favourite or most used products, it's more about products you used to love and now you don't really use them anymore because you "forgot" them or simply found something similar that you like more at the moment. Anyways, I found a view products that I "forgot" to use:

Brushes

This smashbox foundation brush is my first "forgotten" product. I used it a long time to apply my foundation but now I like mac's 187 stippling brush better. 

My application tool changes often, because sometimes I think, that the finish looks nicer with a foundation brush, sometimes with a stippling brush and sometimes even when I apply foundation with my fingers. 

Blushes/Bronzers

DREAM MOUSSE blush - Peach satin - Mabelline 

This was my first "not-powder-blush" and I used it before I got my mac cream blush. 

I like the texture of cream blushes better than of mousse blushes. Although, the finish of mabelline's blush is really beautiful.

Eyeshadows

Those two CLINIQUE palettes were my first high end make-up products. I got them for babysitting and was soooo happy about them. 

Lipsticks/Lipglosses

M.A.C. Lipglass Viva Glam Cindy

M.A.C. Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick

BOBBI BROWN 

I really liked all of those colours and I still like them but I simply started to use different shades. 

Nail-Polishs

August, September, October - in those months I loved to use this nail-polish. I really should

 start using it again because it's so pretty.

Essie - In Stiches

Scents 

YSL -Parisienne 

This used to be my favourite scent in the world but now I can't use it anymore because my boyfriend doesn't like it. :( 

JIL SANDER - SPORT for women

This is one of my all time favourite perfumes. I ran out of it and re-bought it, but I said to myself you wait until christmas and then you are allowed to use it. Because I got some new perfumes I still didn't open the new Jil Sander one. 

I really hope, that you likes the TAG. Let me know what your "forgotten products are"!
