...shoes+accessories haul...

Hello lovelies :)

Last weekend I've been shopping in Budapest for sandals, but unfortunately I haven't found any I liked so I ended up buying gewgaws such as belts, earrings and handbags. 
I've been in need for white and nude sandals, so after my unsuccessful shopping trip for sandals, I've decided to order two pairs from a Slovak webshop.
The package arrived yesterday and I am soo happy :)
It's a pity that I'll have to wait a few days till I'll be able to wear them, because in the last two days the weather went all wrong. It looks more like mid-autumn time than beginning of summer and the forecast says this weather will last till the beginning of the next week.

Anyways, next week I am going finally back to Bratislava. Since I've done my exams I've been staying at home, but somehow there's not much stuff to do, so I am looking forward staying in Bratislava very much.
A few days ago I've mentioned that I would like to study lingua italiano during this summer so I enrolled to a course, which will last whole July. 
Wohooo, can't wait until its beginning on Monday! :)

But back to my post, as you might have guessed, I would like to show you my little bits and pieces from haul.
Let's hop right in! 

I have to confess that I hate wearing belts, I wear them only when I really have to, somehow I don't feel comfortable wearing them. Even though I know that they liven up every outfit and are very stylish, somehow I can't handle them.
Unfortunately, my body is in constant losing/gaining weight so belts are very useful piece for me. 
I've been shopping in H&M and I saw a package of 3 belts for only 5€, I couldn't resist buying them because they came in beautiful colours, I've also noticed the braided one which I would get a lot of use of.

Then I went past Claire's, I don't know whether you are familiar with this shop but in general it sells accesorries. They have great deals all the time like "buy 3 pay 2" and stuff like that. This time they had this deal on earrings. I was soo lucky, because I went in to buy hoop earrings. I wear hoops mainly during summer, in my opinion they fit me very well, but I didn't have any because my old ones broke a few weeks ago and I wasn't able to find any in shops in my town. So I went into Claire's and bought 2 pairs - one bigger and one smaller (I am usually very hesitant when I like two things, I am simply not able to decide which one to get so often I end up getting both - that's why I have 2 same shirts,dresses, etc. in different colours).

And as I mentioned, they had this deal so I ended up getting these long, edgy, gold earrings with spikes too.
So I ended up having 3 earring for price of 2. Such a great deal, isn't it? :)

While shopping in Claire's I've noticed this chunky necklace, I couldn't resist buying it. I don't own a lot of necklaces, but I think I will wear this all the time.

After buying jewelerry, I've decided to take a look on handbags. I was lacking a simple clutch bag and a more casual cross-body bag. I was lucky enough to be able to buy both.

I've bought this white envelope clutch with silver metal application. It has also a strap which is tucked inside the bag. I've been craving for a bag like this very long time and finally I got my hands on it.

I've also bought a brownish cross-body bag. I will use it mainly during summertime walks, going to the pool and doing casual activities. The biggest advantage of this bag is that it can be worn with casual outfits, but you can also combine it with more put together ones.

And last but not least....my new shoes :)

I've ordered them from this site, they have a lot of nice stuff. Go check it out! :)

As I've mentioned I have ordered a nude and a white pair.

These white sandals are brutal! They have a killer heal, but the platform in the front saves the day, even though I will have to wear them with gel pads and wear them on special occasion when I won't be walking for a long time a.k.a going everywhere with my little car. They are more on the classy side, but in my opinion they would be great with jeans aswell.

The nude ones are more on the everyday shoes side, these types of heels are the most comfortable ones for me. I am sure I've mentioned that I am a heels kinda girl. I never wear flats, only when I really have to. All the ballet shoes and flat sandals give me freaking blisters. Heels definitely are made for me!
So maybe they look dangerous, don't be afraid, I am most comfortable in these! :D

How did you like my haul? :)
What were the items you brought for yourself recently?

I hope you enjoyed my haul! 

Have a nice weekend!
I am actually going to a family celebration, you may imagine how "excited" I am :-/ haha...

So that's all for today :)

...summer is here...

Hello lovelies :)

Summer is finally here!

I am usually not that type of person who enjoys warm weather, but this year I am totally glad that summer came just on time.

On Sunday was the first time I was sunbathing and having fun in a swimming pool, I had such a blast there!

Throughout the spring time I have collected a lot of summer clothing and I enjoy that I am able to combine them and create very different outfits every day.

Unfortunately, I've been lacking sandals. I am not saying I don't have anything to wear because I have tons of summer shoes, but I've been missing white and nude sandals from my shoe rack. But today, my order came, it contained two very beautiful sandals - one in white and second in nude colours. But I am definitely not lacking any clothing pieces from my wardrobe.

Today I would like to show you my all-time favourite summer pieces, things, which I love to wear the most throughout summer time and really get a lot of use out of them.
Let's begin :)


1. Maxi dresses

I own at least 9 of them, these are my all-time favourite summer pieces. I love the airy material they are made of and also that you only have to put on a dress and liven it up with some jewellery and the perfect outfit is born.

2. Dresses

When it happens to be freaking hot, around 33° degress and higher, I usually go for shorter dresses. In the summer I prefer wearing one-piece clothes, because I find it easier to combine with jewellery and I don't have to make great efforts to wear nice outfits. I love very different styles of dresses and these are my favourite:

3. Pants

Throughout the summer I prefer wearing mainly pants, not that I don't like skirts but I find it more comfortable to have pants on than a skirt.

I wear either long and short pants, one of my favourite piece are these very long colourful pants made of airy material (left on the first photo), they are one of my recent purchases but since then I wore them approx. 5 - 6 times. And also love shorter jeans pants, but when I want to dress more up I choose these black polka dot high-waisted ones (right on the second photo).

That is all for my favourite summer pieces, I also have a lot of shirts, T-shirts, blouses, tank tops, etc. but I can't choose my favourite ones and also some of them are very simple pieces to be easy to combine.

I left out summer shoes as I am planning a post on my summer shoes collection.

To sum it up, the displayed pieces are my very favourite. If you see me during the summer, you'll probably see me in one of these pieces :)

What are your favourite summer clothes?

Do you prefer dresses or pants/skirts with T-shirts?

Please leave a comment in the comment section, I appreciate it!

Until the next post...

...spring favourites - lip products...

Hello lovelies :)

As promised today I will be showing you those lip products, which were my favourites throughout the whole spring time.
Even though the temperatures outside are showing that summer is finally here, it is still officially spring time in my country. The beggining of the summer is "scheduled" on 21st of June so I am still in time to show you some of my spring favourites. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it and didn't introduced you my other spring product/fashion favourites, I hope that my summer favourites will be more succesful attempt. 

So I have chosen 5 lip products, which I've been using very frequently during spring time, and there are some  which I am sure I will continue using during summer. 
So these are my top 5:

(haha,those mouth shapes are hilarious, I've been kissing the paper on my desk so it didn't turn out flattering)

1. Avon Brilliance in Frost Berry

I looove berry colour lipsticks, they are my all time favourites and this one with shimmers in it became my most used lipstick. I have similiar nail polish and used to combine those two together. It doesn't dry out the lips, applies were evenly and lasts satisfactory amount of time.
Unfortunately I find it too dark for summer time so I am leaving it in my lipstick drawer to rest, but I am sure I will return to it in autumn.

2. Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate in 05 My Real Pink

I don't know why is this shade called My Real Pink when it has a reddish undertone, but that's the way I like it :) I don't like very pink lipsticks, I prefer those which move on the scale of fuchsia or red. This lipstick is very pigmented and lasts approx. 4 - 5 hours. Unfortunately, I have lips which tend to get very dry and this listick definitely dries out my lips, so I would recommend using lip balm before application.

3. Rimmel Hydra Renew in 150 Piccadilly Pink

You might see that Rimmel prodcuts are my favourite :) But I can't help myself, in my opinion Rimmel is one (if not THE) best brand available in the drugstores. This shade is more pinkish than the previous one, its colour is more settled not as pigmented as the previous one, but still very lasting.
Both of the lipsticks have sheen finish, but this looks more "fresh" on the lips. I use it on days, when I don't want to drag great attention.

4. Maybelline Color Sensational in 108 Pink Pearl

I bought this lipstick when I was on hunt for perfect nude lipstick (actually I still didn't find the best one, any suggestions?). It has a kind of frosty finish, my lips almost look like white, but you have this pearl finish to them.
I can't say this lipstick lasts as long as the Rimmel ones, I wish it had and also it is quite hard to apply :(
You need to play with it until you can say it is applied evenly.
The only reason why I love it so much is its colour, but it was enough to become one of my favourites :D

5. MaxFactor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Stick in 55 Mysterious Hazel

This products is something between lipstick and lip gloss. It has a lasting effect as lipsticks, but it is glossy like lip glosses. I love it for being easily applicable and long lasting. The colour is very settled and glossy.
But you have to shape with a sharpener, so makes a lot of mess when taking care of this products and also it misdeems very fast.


So this concludes my favourite spring lip products.

Which were your favourite lip products for this years spring season? :)

Share with me your thought, I appreciate it!

Kisses,

...I'm back...

Hello lovelies :)

I've been quiet for a while, exactly for a month, but I had examination period and didn't have enough time to pay attention to other thing than school.

Meanwhile, I was thinking about some posts, which would be enjoyable for me to write and for you to read and I have some good ideas. 
I am planning to post the Colours of the Rainbow tag, which is currently very popular among the YouTubers and also I have planned a post on my favourite spring lipsticks. 
I am so happy because I have finished all of my exams and now have time to read, relax, party and to spend more time on things I like the most.Today I would like to tell you a little more about my plans, so you can consider this post to be a personal one and of course very different than the posts I've posted before. I hope you will enjoy reading it!

I have decided to lose some weight - to be exact I would like to get rid of my excess 3 kilos.
Last year this time I had 55 kilos, I've been working very hard on achieving the "ideal" weight of mine, but actually I wasn't that happy with it. I had a very bad relationship, a partner who forced me to change almost everything on myself and when I said goodbye to him, everything somehow lightened up. I had so much better mood and finally started to pay attention to myself and love myself. Of course, I have started to put on some weight, but it didn't bother me that much.
Now I'm not telling you that I am overweight, I have 60 kg, but I feel that I need a little bit of excercise to get in shape for summer. I would like to lose 3 kg, which is not that much, so I am sure in 2 weeks time it could be possible, if not I won't be mad about it :)
I will be doin' zumba, the only excercise which does not bore me to death and also it is effective for me.

I was a big fan of healthy eating, but the last few month and the winter made to do everything else than to eat healthy. So with the beggining of the summer I am planning to get back to healthy eating. I am somewhere halfway, even though I put down eating sweets I still have days when I can't resist eating a Pink Magnum, which is currently my favourite treat. But I noticed lately, that my lunches and dinners consist of vegetables, less bread and fat foods. It won't be a hard plan to fulfill. I am also thinking of making posts on the foods I am eating as I love to cook, what do you think? :)

(I've got the image for here)

My long-time dream is to learn to speak Italian, so I will take a great step and enroll to an Italian language course in Bratislava. I am looking forward to it and hope that I will learn at least how to introduce myself in Italian :D

(image from this site)

So these are my 3 biggest plans for summer, I would like to fulfill them all but we will see in September whether I was succesful :) Until then I will try to improve my bloggin' and post more posts!

See you until next one!

Kisses,

Carina...
