hAPPy HaLLoWeeN 2012

 

Since I am not going anywhere tonight, I thought I will put some Halloween Inspirations together.

I love these simple Halloween decorations & DIY's

Besides wanting to dress up as a Ballet Dancer (in Black or White) I love the sugar skull make-up!

GOODBYE October! well HELLO NoVEMBER!

OOTD: Out of the BLUE

(necklace ~ Forever21, cardigan ~ H&M, Top ~ Express, jeans ~ Guess, shoes ~ Aldo)

QUOTE of the day: Happiness is something you decide ahead of time! 

I don't understand people who have so much to appriciate but chose to complain about everything. You might have a rough day (me too sometimes!) but don't forget tomorrow will be another day where you can try to change things in your favor. You're in charge of yourself and you have the power to make decisions to improve your current stage of life. Don't give up on your DREAMS & GOALS! It's always easier to give up then to fight for something you want or that is important to you.

TAG: I heart FALL

favorite LIP & NAIL product and fall candle

lip product ~ my Clinique Chubby Stick, I have a couple of different colors but lately I have been wearing "05 chunky cherry" it's very moisturizing and I love the glossy non-sticky finish!

nail polish ~ Essie ("a list") - it's a great apple red.

candle ~ love the green design and it smells divine!! (something like fresh forest; wood & leaves) - also loving those candles (picture below)

 

favorite STARBUCKS drink

okay let's see what are my options? - Pumpkin Spice Latte - Peppermint Mocha - Carmel Bruleé Latte - White Peppermint Mocha - Salted Carmel Hot Chocolate & Salted Carmel Mocha

Considering my options I would either go with the Pumpkin Spice Latte or Carmel Bruleé Latte but unfortunately I am rarely go to starbucks. Instead I love to drink homemade Vanilla Latte or Tea!

favorite scarf or accessory

Those are my current favorite scarfs. If I had to chose between gloves, hats & scarfs, I would definitely got with scarfs. I basically wear them all year long.

favorite Halloween movie

Oh there is plenty movies. Not necessarily about Halloween itself but witches or fictive characters.

Hocus Pocus ~ Harry Potter ~ Edward Scissorhands ~ Nightmare before Christmas ~ Sweeney Todd ~ Halloween Town ~ Adams Family ~ Paranormal Activity ~ Saw ~ Nightmare on Elm Street ~ Dead Silence ~ Strangers... etc. basically I am into a big thrill but also love imaginary movies.

favorite CANDY to eat on Halloween

To be honest I'm not a big fan of candy or chocolates but I do loooove cookies, cupcakes and cakes!! My favorite cookies are White Chocolate Chip cookies!! But I also love gingerbread cupcakes or pumpkin cinnamon bread.

What are you dressing up as?

Unfortunately I am  not going to an Halloween Party this year (cause I'm going to be working) but I would dress up as a BALLET Dancer (Black or White).

Your favorite thing about FALL?

hot drinks ~ crisp morning air ~ rosy cheeks ~ homemade hearty soup ~ colorful leafs

Mini Haul 3

 FRIDAY. I went to H&M and picked up a few items. Actually I just wanted a new scarf really bad and ended up with a couple of extra things! Does that ever happen to you? So there is me aiming towards the accessory section - looking left to right so I'm not ranning somebody over and ... BAM...  my eyes got caught on other things. It's like bugs get drawn to light :D Usually that scenerio happens when I don't plan a shopping trip, then I tend to find way more interesting pieces.

Saturday. Yesterday it was snowing for the first time this year. That was an terribly awesome moment when I woke up in the morning and saw the trees covered in snow.
It's wonderful how little things in life can make you extremly happy - just the fact it was snowing made my day!


SUNDAY. Another terribly awesome moment is that we got an extra hour; thanks to time savings... yeah. It feels great to wake up at 8.45a.m knowing it's only 7.45a.m.



QUOTE for the day:
Stay strong & BEAUTIFUL
because things will get better,
it might be STORMY now,
but it can't rain forever!

Have a blessed & happy sunday!  xOxO Eva

Fiiiiiinally home! Boy, that was a long day at work. Today I was aiming for something casual. I wasn't really in the mood to dress up. Now I am ready for my bed. Good night everyone!

ARE YOU HAPPY?

Quote of the day: I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh start, with perhaps a bit of MAGIC waiting somewhere behind the morning.

J.B. Priestly

CURRENTLY:
~ watching... nothing on tv, I barely watch tv. I watch quite some Youtube videos. I love watching real people that INSPIRE me :)

~ listening to... Beyoncé (last Album) & radio

~ thinking about... my mom, cause she got a bad cold that worries me and someone else I love a lot and is stuck in my mind, probably without knowing like 24/7

~ trying to figure out... the near furture (refering to my heart) and working on eating healthier & being more active

~ looking forward to... this weekend, cause I am going out dancing this saturday and my new iPhone 5 that I ordered *smile*

~ reading... the 3rd book from Hunger Games - "Mockingjay", "How to look expensive" by Andrea Lustig and "The Magic" by Rhonda Byrne (my absolut alltime favorite!)

~ making me happy... the color of the leafs, my family & cats

OOTD: Quick & Casual

LOoOoooooVE my toffee-colored oversized sweater. It's so warm & comfortable so I can wear tons of layers underneath it - like "onion style"   xD I paired it up with some ALDO wedges that are extremely comfortable as well and nobody can see my thick polka dot socks that I am wearing.

!!I hope everyone had a blessed & sunny sunday!!

MINI HAUL 2

Today I went shopping and found these two thick wool sweaters. They soft & super comfortable and I love the big buttons in the front. Now I feel more prepared & ready for the cold days.
I also perchased some Clinique items. I have been in love with Clinique's chubby sticks so I got 3 new colors for fall and I also got the new Clinique "stay-matte, oil-free" makeup plus the airbrush concealer.
The lady that helped me out today was super sweet! She gave me the airbrush concealer, 7 day scrub cream and moisturizer tester for free. I don't know what's up with most of the saleswoman - I'm willing to perchase one of your products and you being a total drama queen. Then I'm definiately ain't buying your stuff - easy as that -.-

I love BREAKFAST

My alltime favorite meal of the day is BREAKFAST :) For me a perfect morning is waking up without an alarm clock, taking a bath and then enjoy some freshly brewed coffee with my choice of breakfast. In the picture you see my current favorite which is a fruit salad on the side and some jogurt with oats/ granola, coconut flakes and cinnamon... yummy ^_^ while eating my breakfast I like to do my make up, read a magazine or watch Youtube videos. That is my "personal perfect start" in the day.

REVIEW: Latest face lotion

Those 3 lotions were the last ones I tried. The Chanel Beauté Initiale is by far the most expensive face lotion I ever tried, next priciest is the Youth Code Luminizer and the least expensive was the Youth Code "Dermo-Expertise".
Chanel: I liked that it has SPF 15 and it smelled heavenly! I didn't like the creamy thick texture of the lotion and the price is just ridiculous.
Luminizer: I loved the light & liquidy texture, it also has a shine to it that makes your skin glow, (like an angel ^^) it dimishes really fast but the smells is not as great but not bad either - its neutral. Maybe that is a good thing, cause it could have less preservatives and perfum in it.
Dermo-Expertise: for being the least expensive one, it is a really good face lotion. The texture is light and easy to apply.
All of the lotions lasted me for a long time... I would say "a little bit goes a long way"
The next face lotion I want to try is the Clinique "moisture surge intense"

Love you all, xOxO Eva

NOTHING ELSE METALS

Last weekend I painted my nails with this gorgeous shimmery nail polish from Essie. It's a fun color for a night out! The bottom right picture shows my favorite base (blue one) and top coat. I hope everyone had a nice relaxing weekend.

OOTD: Très Chic

Well 'Hello' there ^_°
Today I didn't really had the motivation to dress up but I had to leave the house to run some errands. Since I didn't wanted to look like a total slob I thought I will dress up my grey cardigan with some classy Tory Burch Flats and some chic Tiffany Bow Earrings. I felt comfortable & cute whereas being at the dentist today wasn't that cute. I knew those cookies I ate meant trouble! I am such a cookie monster.

MINI HAUL - H&M

Today I am officially a smartphone-owner. After so many years using my little itzy bitzy teeny tiny Nokia, I gave up and got the new iPhone 5 in black. I am suuuuuper excited, I can't wait, but this is a good situation to practice my patience ^_^ Anyways I still had some time to kill before I started working so I randomly entered H&M and found 3 basic pieces I liked and as you can see it's obvious that I am into elbow pads.

Today's quote: I rather have a life of OH WELLS 

                          than a life of WHAT IFS

I GOT POLKA DOT...

GOOD MORNING!!.. before I head to work I want to share today's Outfit! It's one of my favorite combinations. It's starting to get a bit colder outside so I went with some skinny jeans & a polka dot blouse.
Last night I had some crazy dreams. In one of them I lost my cat! When I woke up my kitty wasn't even laying in bed with me so I looked for him and at first I couldn't find him. I got a bit scared but eventually I found his hidding spot and was happy to snuggle him. Lately I have been dreaming a lot.

Today`s bucketlist: 

• GET UP
• DRINK COFFEE
• DRESS TO IMPRESS
• CONQUER THE WORLD 
• SMILE MORE ^_^

HAIRSTYLE 1

Happy TUESDAY everyone!! Today I felt like putting some effort in my hair. So I took an BEFORE & AFTER picture to show you the huge difference. I love the result! My hair looks shiny and polished but a huge down point is the time factor. I am not a professional so it takes me a good 30 minutes to create those type of curls. That's why I barely wear this hairstyle which my hair of course appreciates because it's not going to be damaged by hot tools.

SMOKIN HOT

This week I felt like rocking an dark edgy purple. I catch myself being in a mood for certain colors and that changes frequently - one week I feel like a sultry red and the following week I turn to a basic pastel pink.
I love to combinate this color with my faux leather jacket and some angle boots...
I wish you all a wonderful & blessed start in the week...

SAINT SUNDAY

When I think the word sunday - in the fall season, I think of hot tea, scented candles, a walk through colorful leafs, wool scarfs, baked goods and hints of sunshine peeking through the clouds. It gives me a warm and cozy feeling. I am so blessed to have this weekend off to enjoy my hot tea and write a bit on my blog. Yesterday was an very exciting day for me because I fullfilled one of my wishes I had for quiet some time.

I indulged in some beyond beautiful Tiffany bow earrings! They look classy and timeless and glam up every outfit I have. 
I am truely blessed and grateful for being able to get myself such an adorable treat.
It's important to value and respect yourself  - it doesn't mean you have to spend a fortune... just take care of yourself and be grateful.

Mantra for the week: I am braver than you believe, and stronger than I seem and smarter than you think.

xoxo, love eva
