[BEAUTY] Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder

Jun 25, 2012 by Anneli in BEAUTY COMMENT ❤ HERE TAGS: BEAUTY, guerlain, make-up, terrocotta

I topped up on my favourite terrocotta bronzer from Guerlain at Tax Free coming over (TF price/£27 – Online/£33.50). It’s the perfect bronzer, it’s soft and lasts for hours. As I am quite tanned at the moment, I have bought shade 04 – which is very dark and bronzed. Normally, I would go for shade 03 for a softer and warmer look.

Get it here.

On another note I’m still slowly recovering from the wedding – the preparations started 8am and we trotted to bed at 5am after finishing off with a bonfire and dancing on the beach. An incredibly, memorable day. We’re on our way back to London now, settling into normality and a super busy week. Have a great Monday everyone!

 

[SNAPSHOTS] Midsummer Wedding

As promised, here are some snapshots from my sister’s romantic midsummer wedding.

It was the most idyllic and memorable day.

[LIFESTYLE] Norwegian Summer Wedding

Jun 20, 2012 by Anneli in LIFESTYLE 6 COMMENTS❤❤ TAGS: home, norway, wedding

I’m back in Norway with my family, helping preparing for my sister’s big day on the 23rd June. She’s getting married at our summer house by the sea – and the setting and style won’t be far off from the pictures collated above. Whimsical, bohemian and romantic.

For this reason I won’t be online everyday, so please bear with me this week!

[WISH LIST] Urban Outfitters Zig Zag Rug

Jun 19, 2012 by Anneli in LIFESTYLE 5 COMMENTS❤❤ TAGS: home, LIFESTYLE, rug, urban outfitter, zig zag

High up on wish list is this zig zag rug from Urban Outfitters (£65). I love mixing graphic prints with softer and more vibrant elements, colourful prints and ‘shabby chic’ furniture.

I definitely swear by ‘contrasting elements’, my fashion motto if you like. This is very much the same when it comes to how I like interior. My flat is a bundle of contrasts; restored furniture, mixed with travel finds, and modern steel – this gorgeous rug will fit straight in. Whether my other half agrees, is a different matter…

 

[BEAUTY] Malin+Goetz Shampoo & Conditioner

Jun 17, 2012 by Anneli in BEAUTY COMMENT ❤ HERE TAGS: BEAUTY, conditioner, hair, malin+goetz, review, shampoo

Do you remember this post a while back? Well as promised, here is my full review on the Malin+Goetz Moisturizing Shampoo (£19.50) & Cilantro Conditioner (£16.50).

Before I review the hair care, I would just like to add that my hair condition is very dry from a lot of colouring and sun exposure. I’ve rarely ever been happy with any hair care in the past, and have been known to try a lot of different products.

I am massive fan of Malin+Goetz products and the whole concept, so as I was delighted when I discovered a range “…suited to dry, damaged or processed hair”. The shampoo contains grapeseed and apricot, so it smells super fresh, feels very light after usage, not leaving any residue and “…can be used daily, helping hair to retain moisture, restore balance and shine.” It’s a low lather product that works as a terrific detangler and makes my hair feel really soft afterwards.

The conditioner, again “…for colour treated, straightened and processed hair” – feels amazing and not greasy (which so many conditioners do), and I can finally brush through my wet hair with ease.

Both the shampoo and conditioner are oil free and actually recommended for daily use, which proves it’s gentle but incredibly effective ingredients. My hair is left very soft and although I haven’t been using it every day (I like to give my hair 2-3 days rest to re-gain it’s natural oils), it still feels amazing.

So to conclude, an amazing hair care set worth every penny!

[FASHION] Gina Tricot Allison Knitted Tank

Jun 16, 2012 by Anneli in FASHION 8 COMMENTS❤❤ TAGS: FASHION, gina tricot, knitted top, outfit, party, pink, zara

New in is this top from Gina Tricot (£14.95), a Scandinavian high street retailer, which I snatched from my friend. She bought it in Norway (Gina Tricot don’t have any stores in the UK.) Then later I actually managed to locate it online (oops!). I found it in both peach and lime – might have to get those colourways as well. I love anything ribbed, and this neon shade is just too gorgeous. It also has a amazing scooped back – my new favourite summer top, that’s for sure!

Style Tip: To tone down the neon and casual style combination, add some smart elements such as tailoring and black accessories. The perfect office, or even party outfit.

I am wearing it with my Zara tailored track pants, Zara black suede heels. YSL Muse, Michael Kors watch, Lindex sunglasses and Tiffany’s necklace.

 

[BEAUTY] O.P.I Burlesque Nail Lacquer

Jun 15, 2012 by Anneli in BEAUTY 2 COMMENTS❤❤ TAGS: BEAUTY, glitter, nail lacquer, O.P.I

Just back from Paris and as usual, it rarely disappoints. And YES, I still wish I was a Parisian. They’re just so damn chic!

There wasn’t too much time for shopping this time around (although I did stumble over the most amazing Sandro’s sale.) I did however manage to pick up this beauty of a nail lacquer. It was only suiting I got a nail polish named ‘Burlesque’ from O.P.I, as we were off to Moulin Rouge for the night! Fuchsia glitter. When in Paris!

Get it from here.

 

[SNAPSHOTS] PARIS, JE T’AIME

Jun 14, 2012 by Anneli in LIFESTYLE COMMENT ❤ HERE TAGS: outfit, paris, work

I’m off to Paris with work. I love Paris. It’s one of my favorite cities and I always come back wishing I was Parisian (well, most of the time).

This picture was taken 2 years ago when I was over there last.

See you on the other side!

[FASHION] #3 ONLY: Varsity Grey Marl T-Shirt

Jun 13, 2012 by Anneli in FASHION 4 COMMENTS❤❤ TAGS: clothing, FASHION, grey marl, only, outfit, t-shirt

I am currently obsessed with ‘varsity’ style items; college jumpers, t-shirts, vests… Loving the sport luxe style by combining a super casual item with a more dressy designer pieces. I always try to play around with the unexpected I guess.

Like above, when I’m wearing my new t-shirt from Only, £14.99 (also the final purchase this time around) with a designer handbag and leather shorts. The only thing I’m missing is some killer heels, but hey, it was on a weekday.

I am wearing it with Alexander Wang leather shorts, Russell & Bromley suede leather ballerinas, Balenciaga City bag, Alessandro Dell’Acqua sunglasses, Michael Kors watch and a selection of jewellery from Tiffany’s.
