❆Christmas 2024 OOTD❆

Talk about late! It's been more than a month since Christmas but I totally forgot to share the outfit I had for a nice dinner with a family friend. One day, I promise, I will learn to take a good picture so that the outfit can actually be, you know, seen? That would be great.


A close up of my dangly heart earrings. Do not mind my anemic complexion.

So I went to Paris this week. I really wanted to take pictures for each outfit the three days I was there but I was so exhausted that I totally forgot to on the first and third day. Sadly, I only have pics from the second day. They are not amazing but an outfit is an outfit! It was very cold, I did have a warm jacket over everything though. As usual, photo quality is bad. I have no phone or a camera of my own.

Thrift Find 27 Nov 2024

So, I'm trying to go by the recycleries more often before they close up for the holidays. I'm still looking for some things on my wish list but I doubt I'll be able to find a winter coat in a thrift store this year. Still, I was able to find quite a few good things, two cute necklaces and a very nice top. There was also a large flea market but it was pretty sparse on clothes and I didn't find anything I liked. 

The first thing I found was this cute cropped cardigan in brown with a very cute stripe. It's from a brand I haven't seen before: Mais il est ou le soleil. I looked up some items on Vinted and there was quite a few things I really liked. It's just kitschy enough to be fun. I want to try to order something from Vinted in the near future.



The jewelry is brand-less and a little wonky, but I like it like that. I kind of steered away from more cutesy accessories for a while but I regret that. I really don't have a name for what I like. I wear both feminine and masculine silhouettes and styles, I like both dark and lighter palettes. It's messy but I don't want to be boxed in so it works for me.



I found some cute stuff for decor as well, two cute blue bowls and very glam Christmas tree decorations. In other news, I will be going to Paris on the 11th of December! I will be there for three days but I hope I can put together 3 cute outfits for the trip. Might as well!

10 Nov 2024

It was a pretty hectic day even though it's the weekend. I actually did not wear this outfit all day and mostly was just kind of testing out how it would look. It all came about because of this hat my mum dug out. I cannot remember where or why we got it but it's pretty cute. I was kind of neutral about hats until today, I'm still not totally sold to be honest but something about the autumn season is just really telling me I can experiment with some hats.

The scarf was a pretty recent find at a thrift store, I snatched it right up because I love a simple star-pattern. I have also been coming across a lot of Esprit and old H&M pieces in thrift stores which has sort of got me thinking about maybe making a post about some brands that I like. I think I'm also due for another magazine flip-through. Probably digital.

Hello! I've also been inspired by the many Gal blogs I saw here on blogger to try something a bit more bold and girly. I also have some very cute glossy heels with a strap that I think are super girly and fit the look. Autumn is my favourite season but it's just barely getting cool here. November will probably be very cold and I'm already prepared to try out all my stockings/tights!

Here is the outfit! I love how the white stockings bring it all together. I do wish I posed better and also took pictures with a prettier background but I just really suck at taking pics of myself.



With a long-sleeve bolero.


With my handbag for which I recently got a decorative chain and a very cute gothic-ish key chain.

Here's some close-ups. The top actually has a big bow!


My lovely shoes, they are pretty worm because I got them second hand. But only for 1 euro! And they are still in excellent condition.

Love this skirt. The tiers are just too cute and the rose print as well.

I don't have much make up (and I am also really bad at it) but here's what I had on today. The eye shadow I got for really cheap, the lipstick is from Aliexpress, and my mum gave me the mascara because she didn't like it.

I wanted to put together a cute little pic of my make up and went a little overboard! But it was fun. Oh to be an employee of a fashion magazine...

9 Oct 2024

I've decided to put together an outfit, not to go anywhere or anything, but because it's time to actually take my fashion journey seriously! I was planning a very simple look but with a touch of girliness. Hence, the pink polo. It's the one I got two weeks ago and is a little transparent which I thought would worry me but was actually not a problem at all. Brown and pink has been pretty popular this year and its a combo I always liked, it's dessert-like. However, this outfit turned out almost a little sporty combined with the racer jacket and my new duffel bag.


With the duffel bag. Sorry for the blurriness!

I am so embarrassed by how bad my poses are and how dumb my face looks in every shot. Look, I'm just not a model, no matter how much ANTM I binged. But it's fun to take pics anyway and though it's way to warm for this outfit right now it will be good in a months time. Also, my hair is at this really weird stage where it doesn't look too good so I want to grow that out as well.

Thrift Find 28 Sep 2024

As mentioned in my earlier post today, I went by both recycleries today. I was lucky to pick up two items from each store which were super cute and even scored a DVD and 2 CDs. I'm also trying out something new by actually wearing my finds in the pics I'm gonna use so that I can actually see how it sits on me. Yes, my ugly face is here. And yes, I am fat. That's life, I guess. 

The first thing I grabbed was this little pull-over shrug thing. Really reminds me something a ballerina would own so I paired it with this tank-top I already own. Excuse how bad this photo is but I really cannot pose to save my life or take a good picture. This one was kind of a steal because it actually had a tag that said 3 euros but the lady was so fast she must have not seen it and sold it to me for 1.

I then spotted this tee. I'm always happy to have more oversized shirts and comfy tees in general. I do like a few AC/DC songs but am not diehard. Sorry, I know that's basically band tee war crimes. I am myself AC/DC though.

Probably my best find of the day: this gingham style short sleeve shirt. It went super well with my outfit as well. It's super casual, I love gingham, plaid, and flannel. The colours matter a lot though.

Last but not least, I spied this polo when I was last at the recyclerie but wasn't confident in getting it. It is pretty worn-down and slightly see through. The print on the back was to die for though so I did get it. When I actually tried it on I was surprised with how cool it was!

Super excited about the weather getting worse and worse. Yes, please to the cold and the rain.
