All chained together
Trend alert: chains. As far as I remember this trend started with Chanels fashionshow where the models wore fake chain tattoos. I sure am going to try making the leg chain and have ordered the stuff I need from ebay. There is something so delicate and beautiful about the smaller chains.
The crystal bra
The crystal bra was created my Factory Fox, the goal was to create a bra that is so beautiful and shiny that it would glamourize a whole outfit. It really makes a statement! The original can be found here, but I think its a bit to expensive so Im pondering about making something similar myself.
Prada Baroque
Such unique details to these sunnies, never seen anything like it before. And you can never go wrong with Prada. Luckily I found a more budget-friendly version of them on Ebay. They look exactly the same. Cant wait to wear these babies on a sunny day!

Mind. Blown. by this lookbook.
Cranberry

I had nothing to wear yesterday so I altered this old dress with a couple of scissors. The arms where originally laced, which I didnt like. Now I can wear it more often, the little black dress is a classic. So Audrey Hepburn! My ring is from Nelly. I also pulled off a burgundy eyeshadow without looking dead. Its called cranberry by MAC. Now I’m going to take care of my hungoverness.

I have a new color crush, burgundy.
Naked Palette
Before this product was released it was already very hyped amongst the makeup freaks. I have had this for a couple of months to really test it out before giving a review. This is the ultimate palette for neutral colors, and it is so versatile. You could do almost any type of look by using these colors. Even bold ones, it doesnt have to be boring. Like I did a smokey eye by using the brown tones, and the black can be used as a eyeliner to create a cateye look. The brightest colors can also be used for highlighting around the eyes. This makes great for traveling as you have all the colors you need for every occasion in one single palette.
The texture is very nice, not as creamy as TheBalm, but still. Application leaves almost no falloff and the pigmentation is really good and buildable. I got the second stock of this palette and that came with the brush instead of the eyeliner like on the picture. The brush is stiff and great for applying color on the eye in a precise line. It also came with a travel size primerpotion. Im addicted to this stuff, and I have the full size tube one as I dont care to much for the old packaging. Before the naked palette Urban Decay typically carried bright colorfull palettes and eyeshadows, so it was about time they did something like this. Most of the colors have a frosty finish, but you also find some matt ones. Considering the price and what you actually get this is a great deal! You get 12 full size Urban Decay eyeshadows.
Pictures are taken with flash so colors may differ. The black is much darker in real life. Some of these colors are limited to the naked palette and is not available anywhere else. One thing I dont like about palettes is that there may be some colors that I would not use, but I just got the palette for the other ones. In this palette I can use every single one of them! The only thing I miss in this palette is a matt black, like mac carbon. The creep color is the one I like the least, and it is also the one with the most glitter in it.
This will last me a long time, I havent even hit the pans yet. Urban Decay has now made a second naked palette, but I cannot justify buying something so similar. I really love the packaging aswell. It has a velvet feel to it, sturdy in the hand and easy to open. Even though the design is fairly simple, it really looks expensive and beautiful.
DIY – the fashion edition
Some of you may have noticed my new category called DIY, here I will post step by step diy-projects aswell as inspirational pictures. A piece can get a major upgrade with simple modifications, and it doesnt need to be expensive at all. The possibilities are endless, you can recreate a look from the runway, from pieces you have seen where you dont know the source or is out of stock, or simply creations you have in mind that doesnt exist anywhere else. In the creativity category I will post some of the stuff that I have made. Eventually I will have a store on Etsy or Ebay up and running where I will make and sell stuff on request, and also vintage finds.

Dreamcatcher
ph_weheartit
A dreamcather is often handmade and decorated with personal or sacred items such as feathers and beads. Originally where these used by Native Americans, and was hung above the bed as a charm to protect sleeping children from nightmares. Another theory is that the nightmares pass through the holes and out the window, while the good dreams are trapped in the web, and then slide down the feathers to the sleeping person. These things have really been adopted by the fashion industry lately, and not only do they make a great fashion statement, but they look so pretty in the process. As you may know I have a thing for feathers, and these things have it all. My next move is to find an authentic dreamcatcher or try to make one myself. I remembered when I was younger that the superficial aspect of dreamcatchers really scared me, but now I would love one to take all my nightmares away. If they really do that will be up to each one if you believe in that sort of things.
