Beauty Favorites | New video

Just uploaded a brand new video after a seven month hiatus. Phew. I'm shocked at how easy it is to edit on my MacBook so I felt a little something inside that makes me want to post more. Now. Or tomorrow. Or very, very soon. Here's what I was wearing in the video:

Dress from nelly.com
H&M necklace gifted from my colleages
Nail polish is L'Oreal Island In The Sun
Half Baked, High, Beware, Riff and Buck eyeshadow from UD
24/7 Perversion liquid liner from UD
Urban Decay Trap lashes
Urban Decay Sheer Obsessed lipstick

Oh, I also dyed my hair back to pastels. Really liking this purple/pink combo right now. I will probably always return to these colors I think. 

Winter life photostorm

Just a few random shots from my camera taken over the last month or so. For some reason my usual winter blues seem a lot less blue this time around. It's like the sun has been shining stronger. Probably also the balance of having a place that feel like home + work keeping me busy.

Ps. I've gone blonde. 

Chop chop, long hair off

When change come, my hair must change too. I'm that kind of person with everchanging hair and it's been this way for as long as I can remember. There's just something refreshing about it, whether it be a new haircut or color. Since I'm very pleased with my current color I decided to grab a hair knife and slice away. I really like how it turned out.. for now. In a few weeks it will probably bore me to death and something new must happen haha. 

500.000 blog views, 500 readers and red lips for christmas

I was just catching up on some blogs and checking back on my own when I saw that the view counter had hit 500.000 and that 500 readers had subscribed, which honestly, is kind of a milestone for me. This blog started out as a fun experiment to express myself back in the winter of 2010 and is to this day still a place where I post personal inspirations - sometimes more than others - and will always be a place I'll return when I feel the need. It's lovely to know that you guys like to take part in this little online diary of mine.

Things have been dull for me online, but my non-virtual life certainly hasn't. I'm hoping to find a good balance between these two parts of me in 2015 and bring it all together for bigger, better things. There are big projects that I have been planning for so long and I think the time might be right soon. I miss interacting with you all both here and on youtube. 

But for now, thank you to each and every one of you for watching, commenting, supporting and sharing your opinions with me these past 4 years. I truly appreciate it ♥

Lips are Makeup Forever Aqua Lip liner in 8C, 11C, 12C, Rimmel Temptation lipstick with a dap of Urban Decay F-bomb lipstick and a Makeup Forever clear Aqua Rouge gloss on top.

Colorful spring hair

Colorful locks and rainbow hair is no longer very groundbreaking, but spring is the perfect time for experimenting with your looks and do something fresh and new. As soon as the weather gets warmer, my need for adding chunks of random colors in my hair gets bigger, and I'm currently playing around with the thought of adding pale purples and minty blue in when I get my pastel pink hair back (which will hopefully be sooner than later). I like how colorful hair is very versatile and can be used in so many ways, it doesn't necessarily have to be bubbly and princess-like, it can also very look more serious and minimalistic. If you're thinking about going crazy with colors I have a ton of videos on that on my youtube channel and also a little guide on pastel hair right here.

Outfit | Undercover

H&M hat - Holy Malice sunnies - second hand faux fur - second hand shirt - Rose Wholesale skirt - Rose Wholesale bag - old boots 

Running erands on no sleep, literally, sometimes feel a lot easier with a little disguise. The weather is windy and wet today so my floppy hat and sunnies don't just hide my face from the world, but also protects me from mother nature. The sidebraid is both practical for the weather situation and for hiding how bad my extensions need a trim, which I will hopefully be able to do tonight before leaving for Germany tomorrow! I'll be away for nine days, so lot's of outfit posts from beautiful Nürnberg will follow. The skirt and bag are both new and worked so well for this comfy-no-sleep-running-erands-in-disquise-look, while the boots have been a staple winter item in my wardrobe for around ten years soon. These pictures (and many more to come) was taken by my wonderful friend and photographer Rebecca Bregnum. How is the weather where you guys live?

Outfit | Patent leather, lace & green fur

I like the idea of mixing different materials and textures, especially in wintertime where you won't overheat and die from wearing faux fur or patent leather. The shoulder warmer is a recent H&M newin that I showed you guys along with the Topshop skirt too. This is pretty close to my new years outfit, except my hair was straight and I wore no jewelry or accessories. I'm also convinced that the shoulder warmer will start to look rather dingy after a few wears due to the quality, bohoo.

It's so funny to me that patent leather has become so big when only five years ago people would point their fingers at me on the street and wrinkle their noses, and now you see it all over the high-street. This Topshop skirt really do both look and feel nice compared to patent leather items bought for a lot cheaper in erotic boutiques.

Last summer I went to a fleamarket that I always visit while staying at my grandmother, we go there after having spent a few hours by a beach that I've went to since I was a little kid, and usually all three of us - grandmother, littlebrother and I - find at least two things to take along with us. I bought the ring from the picture above and have been wearing it like crazy the last few months for obvious reasons. The earrings are 80's vintage.

Purple bun and doll eyes

On thursday I was turning my sleeping pattern around, so in these photos I hadn't slept for just around twenty hours (a total of thirtytwo hours when I finally slept!!) so as you guys can probably guess I was wearing my bodyweight in Illamasqua concealer, went as overboard as I could with my L'oreal Carbon Gloss liquid liner, a tiny amount of random grey eyeshadow to fill in my brows and crease, a bit of Illamasqua's Nymph blush bring back some color to my face, MAC Saint Germain lipstick, Silver Dusk as highlighter both on my cupid's bow and cheekbones and finally some very cheap eyelashes from eBay that looks something like this - they're horrible to apply because they're way too firm, but I like the way they look. Oh and I'm also wearing this eyeliner on my waterline to reduce redness.     

My look for Coma Club

So this saturday I lost my Coma Club-virginity along with Rebecca from the hair transformation two posts below this hahaha. If you're from Denmark and love wild parties, you probably know of Coma Club, and if not, think 80's & 90's club kids, outrageous costumes, wigs, makeup, electronic music and around 1500 people attending. It was on a secret location that weren't revealed until a few hours before the party started. I had soooo much fun, it really was the party of the year. I'll look for more official photos to post.

Did any of you guys attend?

KEA Empire Campus opening party with wantr.com

I had the most amazing friday night with the sweet people from wantr.com at the opening party at KEA Empire Campus here in Copenhagen. I was contacted by wantr after they noticed me in their master of trendspotting competition and asked me to come out and help them spot the most stylish people and promote the competition, so of course I said yes. I partied with the owner of wantr (the handsome guy in second picture), the blonde girl in third picture along with another lovely girl called Nina, our cool photographer and three of my most fabulous friends! I also kinda wanna marry the guy with the sweet smile and brown hair standing beside me, but I cant remember his name bohoo. There were lot's of cute guys and so many beautiful girls and all in all it was a wonderful night! Thank you wantr ♥

I wore pumps bought in Jette Riis - eBay plastic clutch - romwe skirt - vintage Moschino belt - vintage silk shirt - eBay gold chain & a secondhand faux fur
