Víva España!

I figured that a style post would be nice for a change and what better time than summer to show off all the lovely pieces in your wardrobe? My thoughts exactly!

Today's outfit is all Spanish attire. The shirt is from Pull and Bear, the shorts and sandals are from Zara. 

I love the gold detailing on the shirt and the fabrics are all natural.

Please excuse the lighting. Finally an outfit post again. As I realised everything I am wearing here is from Mango. The jumper, the shoes and the bag were all from new collections, so should still be available. 

Everything is from Mango

Before I was heading out to celebrate one of my favourite days on the year, the Independence Day, I thought I will manage to quickly post my OOTD, however I did not and the post is only coming up now.

OOTD and new in

I have been naughty and spending money. But then again, what do we live for...

I ended up absolutely hating the Dior foundation I mentioned in my previous post. Apart from the horrible smell, it really made me break out and made my skin really oily throughout the day, and bare in mind I that I have combination skin, that is not very oily though. 
Anyways, I ended up buying the Clarins Skin Illusion foundation, which I absolutely love. This shade is 103, however I have already bought 108 previously, it is too dark for me though and will be used in summer.
I then bought the YSL Touche Éclat. It was on my wish list far too long and I decided to go for it. While I was at it I also purchased the YSL Rouge Velupté in the shade 01, beige nude. It is very similar to MAC cream cup and rather looks like a milky pink on my lips, which I love.
It will be no news for you that I have not been entirely happy with my Clinique dramatically different moisturising gel. The Elisabeth Arden creme for a waste of money and I have also returned it. Instead I have bought a cream by Lancaster from their AquaMilk series. I really like it so far and will see how this is going.

I have also treated myself to new shades. I am absolutely in love with them. I love the cat-eyed shape and I really wanted black shades to complete my collection.

Since I have not bought a bikini last year I decided that this year a new bikini is definitely a must and since I have already been to the beach on Saturday I went and bought this baby from H&M. I think the colour is stunning and it actually looks like my OPI You don't know Jacques.

The weather is getting warmer and it is a pleasure to have to put less clothes on.

OOTD and New In

Today I have really tried filming a video but unfortunately the quality of my camera really is bad the sound was just awful so unfortunately there will be no video any time soon. 

Instead I decided to have an outfit of the day post and also share the new products that I have.

As you may or may not know, I have had really dry skin, particularly on my forehead and it was/is really hard to apply foundation and thus I have ventured into completely new territory of tinted moisturisers and BB creams. However, this is now what this post is about. When I was buying my Clarins facial oil the lady also gave me a sample their cleansing milk for dry and sensitive skin. I have been using it every morning and please bear in mind that I NEVER used to wash my face in the morning. Anyway, I really loved it although the consistency was really strange to me in the beginning and it obviously was not foaming. 

So I went into my drug store determined to buy the Clarins cleanser and of course went out with the Lancaster one. It is called "Comforting Cleansing Milk". Supposedly they are dupes for each other and after using it for a few days I am really really pleased. My skin feels really soft and nice to the touch.  I bough a set which came with a toner because it was an offer and strangely enough cheaper than the individual bottle. They are both 400ml and will last me forever. 

I also picked up a sun cream for the face because I have to use it here in Israel. The sun is just brutal and shines most of the year. It does not stick and can be used on top of your daily moisturised and underneath the foundation or powder. I had bought the regular sun cream by Lancaster last summer and was very pleased. 

OOTD and New In

Today was one of the first really warm and sunny spring days and it really is about time, since it has been an exceptionally cold and long winter for Israel. So decided to enjoy and met my friend for breakfast on this lovely Saturday.

I also purchased new things that I have not shared yet, but I guess I can hit two birds with one stone and show you the outfit as well as the new stuff.
I have new shoes, that I bought in Primark when I was in Germany for a business trip last week. They actually have a really nice pinky-peach colour and came out a little orange on this picture. I really have to find a solution for the lighting. 

I also have new shoes from a Zara Sale.

I also have a new top from Primark and new jeans from 7 for all mankind that will be featured in the outfit photo. The jeans are of a very dark blue colour but unfortunately appear black due to bad lighting.

Simplicity

Today was the first day of the year where I had to leave the house with an umbrella because it was raining. It's time to get out the cardigans and enjoy their warm an cuddly texture. I love this particular cardigan that I'm wearing here because it was made of 55% silk and 45% cotton so it feels amazing to the touch.

I really think that although the outfit is really simple it still looks fashionable and great.

So I decided that an outfit post is long over due and promptly to close that gasping gap. I am enjoying the last more or less warm days here and one can feel that autumn or rather winter is coming. So obviously one has to use the last chances he gets to wear maxi skirts with shirts, tops and flip flops before getting out all these chunky knits, scarves and boots.

I decided that it is absolutely necessary to wear that new skirt before I have to come up with ways of how to pair it with warmer clothing. 

How do you like wearing maxi skirts? Please share.

Some shopping

The inspiration for today's outfit was really the weather. We had very comfortable 21°C and I decided to wear this dress, since I never seemed to have found the right weather for it in Europe. Although it's a turtle-neck it is very thin, so I'd usually be either too cold or too hot in it. So naturally I'm very happy that it could see the light of day again!

Today I have also seen a L'Occitane store here in a shopping centre and I was really pleasantly surprised, but I guess on the other hand pretty much all of the European stores are now also here in Israel... Naturally I went in to get a new hand cream since mine is running out. I have to say that although the products there are pricey, they are totally worth their money. You don't have to use the cream as often because it really does moisturise very well and thus you don't need to buy new tubes as often.

On an incredibly hot day...

Today was an incredibly hot day: 38°C!!! Naturally most people were trying to hide in shade or in air-conditioned places unlike me…

Anyways, here is some of my personal street style before actually preparing the spread on other people's clothes.

Finally a post again...

Hey guys! So after a very long break here is a post again. I'm sorry, but somehow I've been lacking inspiration. Maybe the long and cold winter affected me in more ways I would like to admit.

Anyhow, now my move to Israel has finally taken place so finally spring has begun and there is so much inspiration to go with!

Here is an outfit I was wearing at a "white" street party in Tel Aviv yesterday. It was absolutely brilliant: DJ, sunshine, a lot of people and booze!

New Year's Eve

Here is my this year's outfit for New Year's eve. The beautiful cameo I'm wearing was my grandmother's birthday present as well as her scarf tied into a bow. I hope you guys had a great night and will have a great year. (Click to enlarge picture)

I also wanted to post a quick video tutorial I got from Youtube on how to create easy smokey eyes, since some of my friends have asked me how I do it and also because I previously used to have some trouble with it myself. So here is Beau Nelson's video for you:

OK, so finally after a lot of talking I am uploading my first outfit picture.  I was wearing this to my best friend's birthday party and you can also see my new haircut. 

I know the picture quality isn't great, but I'll be working on that and promise improvement for my next post!
