Sephora, Outfit & Books

Today I popped by the new Sephora downtown. It's the first in Denmark and it just opened yesterday. The grand opening is on the 15th. It was really cool, just an abundance of makeup, haha. I didn't actually buy anything, because it was so busy in there, I didn't really want to stay for too long. But I did see something that I really want now. The Naked 2 palette by Urban Decay.

This palette is so hyped it's almost ridiculous. But after seeing it in real life, I really want it. The colours look so amazing and it has several colours that I've been trying to find, without luck, lately. This one is definitely on my current wishlist, but I don't know if I want to spend 370DKK just now on makeup. Maybe next month or maybe I'll put it on my birthday wishlist, even though it's not until August. It is lovely, though.

Today's outfit -

Jacket/H&M - Top/Only - Belt/H&M - Headband&Jewelry/ Topshop - Black ring/Gina Tricot

I didn't get a good full body shot, but I just wore my gold leggings from Topshop with a black bodycon skirt. In case you were wondering.

I think I'm getting into another phase of reading books again. I love books, but I don't always read as much as I'd like. It comes in waves in a way. I won't read anything for months and then suddenly, I'll chaw down a big pile of books in no time.

I read Smertensbarn by Mette Finderup last night. This book doesn't actually come out before tomorrow, but I snagged the reading copy at work and gulfed it down last night. I don't usually read Danish books, but this one caught my eye and was really a page turner. It was really good, actually, I'm eagerly waiting for a sequel now.

I think I'm going to start Spellbound (Hex Hall 3) by Rachel Hawkins tonight, I really liked the first two books, so it'll be interesting to see what happens next.

Have you read any good books lately?

May 2012 Wishlist

So those are the items I'll be lusting after this month. I'm trying to cut back a bit on the shopping, especially the Topshop shopping, so it's going to be a long month, haha. It's so annoying, though, because I wanted that necklace a long time ago, but it sold out and now it's back. Those bastards. Also, those jeans are insane. I'm trying so hard not to buy them.

What are some of your wishlist items for this month?

Collective Haul: Topshop, Asos, Jeffrey Campbell

Spiked Litas - Jeffrey Campbell/Revovle Clothing

Striped Jeans - Motel Rocks/Asos

Bracelets, spiked slippers, tunic, scarf - Topshop

All right, so today I want to show you some of the things I've bought in the last month or so. I gave in and bought the spiked Litas. They're just perfect, I can't even. I'll be doing outfits asap, so for now the collage will have to do. And yeah, clearly, I have an addiction to Topshop, but I don't care ;)

But I also want to show you, what I picked up today from Topshop, because I just quickly popped by to see if anything new had gone on sale - you know, you gotta be quick if you want the good stuff, haha - and this dress had gone on sale.

By Unique

I have been eyeing this mofo for so long! I absolutely love it. The print is so unique (no pun intended), the silk is so soft and overall just downright awesome! I always thought it was too expensive (originally 1299DKK, then 999DKK, then finally 599DKK in the sale) and that it would not flatter my bodytype.

But when I was in there today, I thought "All right, let's just try it on for fun, just to get a good laugh". They didn't even have my size, but they had one size down. So I tried that on and I was all "Damnit, this fits and it looks good, crap! Now I have to buy it" and so I did. It is a bit long on me as I'm only about 163cm tall, but I don't mind. Here's what it looks like on a tall model:

I tried it on with this:

Though, I'll probably pair it with some chunky sandals when it gets warmer.
