They come in various colors and patterns, they are super comfortable and flattering, and they are seen on many celebrities: bandage skirts!
For me personally they are a must have for summer since they are super versatile, they can be paired with any top, shirt, or blouse! You can make them look casual by throwing a plain t-shirt on and leave it untucked (like Nicole Richie in the picture), or
for a more sophisticated look you just tuck it in like Kate Bosworth did and your party outfit is complete!
Since they come in various bright colors, they are also perfect for colorblocking!
I have a blue and black striped one from Forever 21 and a coral/peach colored one from Topshop which i love so much!! :)
btw im so in love with the pink and white one rihanna is wearing!! (source link: http://cdn.concreteloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/rihannahervepi.gif)
so what do you guys think about these skirts? are they a hit or miss for you? Share your opinions! :)

Tinted moisturizers are pretty popular for summer, since they are much more lightweight than normal foundation. The only one i have at the moment is the Kiehl's Ultra Facial Tinted Moisturizer and i wanted to share my opinion on this product :)
The first plus is, it has SPF 15 in it, which is one of the most important features a face product should have, to prevent your skin from harmful
UV-rays. It also says that its for all skin types, so thats a plus as well! i have normal to dry skin and it works great for me but i always use a setting powder which i think is definitely necessary, especially if you have oily skin.
Another great thing about this product, what i was pretty impressed by, is the coverage!! for a tinted moisturizer it has GREAT coverage, still not as great as foundation of course, but its also very buildable!
The only downside of this is probably the color range. There are only 3 shades available, light, medium and dark. I got the light one since im pretty pale, and i think this will also work for me when i have a tan, but for girls that have naturally darker skin or a really good tan i would recommend medium.
Overall this is an amazing product, and i would definitely recommend it!
Have you tried this before? What are your opinions on it? Whats your favourite tinted moisturizer?

Hi guys!
Today was a very exciting day coz i got two packages in my mail! :D
after 3 weeks i FINALLY got the two matte Zoya polishes that i ordered on ebay.. its been FOR EVER! i already thought they got lost in the mail or something..
However, the second package was by ELF cosmetics :)
Heres what i got in detail:
Zoya Matte Velvet - Loredana: The Zoya matte nail
polishes are SO unique! this one is gray with some shimmer, i cant wait to try this out!
Zoya Matte Velvet - Savita: Since i love purple nail polish i had to order this one as well! its from the same collection and it also has some shimmer in it.
ELF Powder Brush: I was in need of a new powder brush and since everyone is raving about the ELF one i decided to get this cos its also really affordable! Hopefully it will be as great as everybody describes it ;)
ELF Studio Conditioning Lip Balm - Peaceful Pink: Im a real sucker for lip balms and lip butters, and the ELF ones are said to be amazing so of course i had to order them :D and they have SPF 15! this one is a pretty baby pink.
ELF Studio Conditioning Lip Balm - Mellow Melon: This looks similar to the pink one in the pic but its a bit darker and more reddish.
That was it for my new stuff, share your thoughts and opinions below! xo

Guess what? Ive been shopping! :P i actually didnt wanna shop for clothes until my holiday in Mexico (Im going on the 16th), but i wanted to buy some stuff to read for Mexico so i thought why not stop by at Forever 21 and Zara :P
Plus, since corals are so in this season i wanted to jump on this bandwagon and find some coral colored pieces, which i did!! :)
Heres what i
got:
Coral Blouse (Forever 21):
This is soo cute! I love tops that are cropped in the front and long in the back, and this blouse is just perfect! its buttoned in the front which is actually really short, i tried it on in medium and it was so short that my belly button was showing, so i ended up buying the large one cos the front is a bit longer :) its a very light and airy material and im gonna wear this with high waisted hotpants or skirts! :)
Nude Shorts (Forever 21):
Ive also wanted to find something in a nude color, so i totally had to get these shorts! arent they adorable?? They have 3 little buttons on each side, cute side pockets and what i also love about them are the creases!! They are really well made and they would go perfectly with just a casual white shirt or tank top tucked in.
Coral belt with bow (Zara):
I fell in love with this belt immediately, especially because of the bow!! I can imagine wearing this with a white oversized shirt and leggings, this will spice up any casual outfit! :)
What im kinda scared of though is that it will fall apart soon since its not very well made..but im keeping my fingers crossed haha :D
Books i got (not very interesting haha but thought id add them anyway): Dark Silence, Very LeFreak
So i hope you guys like my little mini haul :)
Add or follow me if you like my posts! xoxo

I was recently watching the new episode of Audrina Patridge's show (im sure most of you know her from "The Hills"), where shes wearing pretty unique rectangular shades, which i immediately fell in love with! Afterwards i searched on the internet and i found a picture of Audrina wearing them or at least similar ones. Turns out that they are by Rock & Republic and the model is called "Infamous".
I want these SO BAD now!! I think that oversized, rectangular shades are in general pretty in this summer.
Maybe ill find a cheaper "dupe" of them, but im afraid they wont suit me so well since i have a pretty small face, whereas Audrina has a wider face. But maybe ill find similar ones at a store where i live and where i can try them on :)
What do you guys think about them? arent they just gorgeous?! Share your opinions! :)

Its time for my nail of the week! This time i chose OPI - Dating A Royal because im sooo much into blue nail polish right now! I love every blue shade from baby blue to navy blue :) Dating A Royal is one of my favourites, although its maybe too dark for spring and summer ;)
It dries actually faster than china glaze and with two coats its totally opaque.
So who else loves
this color?! :D

Today i decided to share my lipgloss collection with you :) i have quite a few and i kinda keep accumulating them because ive been looking for the perfect nude lipgloss for ever and im still looking for the perfect peach one! thats why i mostly have neutral/nude colors.
do you guys maybe know the perfect peach or nude lipgloss?! let me know!
1.) Laura Mercier Lip Glace -
Cinnamon: This smells SO good!! Like toffee or something :D
2.) NARS - Greek Holiday: Pretty glittery rose gold shade, smells weird but i still like it cos its not sticky at all
3.) Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss - Peach Petal: Thought this would be my perfect nude lipgloss to pair with a nude lipstick but i absolutely hate it cos it washes out my lips so much :S
4.) MAC Plushglass - Nice Buzz: Similar to NARS Greek Holiday but more gold toned
5.) MAC Dazzleglass Creme - Passing Fancy: This color looks SO pretty in the bottle but unfortunately its not pigmented at all and on the lips you can only see the glitter :(
6.) Victorias Secret Sexy Lip Plumer: Clear gloss but it gives you that tingling effect on the lips since its a lip plumper..love it! :)
7.) SANA Super Quick Gloss Concealer EX - Baby Pink (Japanese Brand): THIS is the perfect milky pink nude lip gloss!!
8.) Yes To Carrots C Me Shine Lip Gloss - Playful Nude: Dont like it that much, it smells like peppermint which kinda turns me off, and the color also doesnt show up that great on the lips
9.) Smashbox O-Gloss: This gloss says that it reacts with your personal skin chemistry and transforms into your own custom shade of pink! and it REALLY works! it comes out clear but as soon as you put this on your lips it turns pink!! you can kinda see it on my arm as well :D SO COOL!! :D
10.) DiorKiss - Spicy Guava: Ive had this for a really long time but i still love it!! it smells SOO good!
11.) Sephora Nectar Shine - Cherry Shine: I usually dont like red lipgloss but a friend got this for me in New York..Smells really good though! :)
12.) Rocket City - Pop: This was a gift with purchase, i havent used it yet but its a clear pink gloss with a lot of glitter in it :)
13.) Orly Mini Lipgloss: This came with my Orly Cotton Candy nail polish, i think its sooo cute and tiny!! :D
That was it for my lipglosses, hope you like them :) on the 2nd photo you can see the swatches!

These are my first Forever 21 shoes! Im absolutely in love with them!!
They are black fake suede platform heels; in the front they have three elastic straps with buckles on them, inside theres a cute leopard print which i think is so adorable! they have some kind of pin-up look to them but they dont look cheap or "slutty" at all, you can wear them with skinny jeans, high
waisted hotpants or even cute, girly dresses!
They are pretty high, the heel is like 13 cm but the platform is 3 cm so youre actually walking on only 10 cm which is okay :) plus, i like that they have a really thick and steady heel, so they are in fact very comfortable to walk in! theres absolutely nothing that can give you blisters, they are super soft outside as well as inside, i just love suede shoes!!
what do you guys think about these shoes? would you wear them? share your opinions and add or follow me if you like my posts :)

As you guys maybe already know, im totally into cupcakes!!
so i was just browsing on amazon a little bit as i came across a hand cream thats stored in a super cute cupcake-shaped container!! oh my god, how cute is that??
they also come in three different shapes and with different scents: coconut, chocolate and cherry.
The hand cream is said to be extremely moisturizing and to make your hands
super soft. :)
Im totally getting that! What is better than a cupcake shaped pot standing on your desk that has hand cream in it!? :D
So would you guys get this? Let me know! :)
