SHOES.

Hello, once again! This time I’ll be telling you about some of my shoes... 

I don’t usually go buying shoes like crazy, since I rarely see anything that I like or want, but that DOES happen every now and then. During the summer break I actually managed to buy 2 new pairs, got one pair from Mari-liis and dug out few old favourites.

Let us start with the pair I got from Mari-liis (who bought them from Japan):

Bonita.

Surprisingly comfortable even though they may look a bit painful, I wore these for three nights in a row once and only my calves were complaining by the end of the third night.

Plus they make me so tall~

Now to the pairs I bought:

Jumex (not the juice)

I don’t know WHY, but these make me think of Lydia Martin/Holland Roden. Anyway, I will forever say that Mari-liis forced me to buy these. They are cute and adorable and I love them but she forced me to buy them. End of story.

Nike Lunar Forever

Got my first proper running shoes! They feel heavenly~

Now I just need to find the time, and energy, to actually go for runs... I’m just too lazy x)

Couple old favourites:

Dea Dia. Cute shoe shop I accidentally bumped into while visiting Shibuya.

Bought these in February 2008 when I was visiting Japan. They were WAY cool not to buy, and so I awkwardly asked for a bigger size than what was on display (Japanese people have smaller feet), and the store assistant even put the shoe on for me and tightened the straps. It love at first sight. I mean with the shoe and I.

Friis&Co.

I had been drooling at these for a while some years ago, but they were always a bit too expensive for me. Until that one day when I stepped to the same store once again and noticed that they had a discount on these shoes... which also happened to be my size. Needless to say I left the store with a smile on my face.

Not the comfiest shoes to wear for hours, but they look damn good.

I also may have bought some new shoes in England... after the summer break.

My defence is, that I had the best excuse to buy the first pair, and- DAMN. I don’t have a good excuse for the other pair.

Converse! with cute squirrels and reindeer (?)!

These babies I bought because I had been rather upset the night before and hence wanted something to cheer me up. So cute AND I got them with a nice discount~

Schutz. A brand I've never heard of, but the original price had been R$320...

Now these... I basically just bought because they went well with my new jacket and made my legs look amazing. I have no other excuse.

All in all, I now have WAY too many shoes, and don’t know what to do with all of them! I don’t know how some people can live happily with 15+ pair of shoes, when I’m already going crazy with less than that!

Oh, btw, this (what you see above) is my new awesome jacket that I got from London (Forever 21~) on my hunt for Victoria’s Secret (from where I bought a new bra and underwear ♥)
And you can't deny that my legs look really good in those shoes, despite the bruises on my knees (which are from DANCING, just FYI)!

Before I go, I remember I promised samples from the nail polishes I posted pictures of, so here we go with the first one~

Pearl Fashion UK - Pomegranate

Stay human and blog ya later!

A nail for a hair. Or however the saying goes...

I've now moved into the new place, have survived Freshers' week (during which I did quite a lot of volunteering work), and will try to get into regular blogging now whilst attending my lectures.
I will be updating stuff from my preview with something new. Basically my next *insert amount here* posts will have something "older" and something new in them every time.

Today's topics: my new nail polishes and my much newer hair (which neither were in my preview... OOPS)!

Let's start with the "older" stuff...

That is nail polishes.

As most of my readers know, I spent my summer in Finland pretty much doing nothing although I did get all these nail polishes.

I have tried all of them on already, but lazy as I was, forgot to take pictures, so you'll get swatches later :)

OPI Silver Shatter and OPI Teal the Cows Come Home

Okay, I cheated a bit and got these from the airport, since they were so much cheaper in tax free than they usually are in normal shops.

They're my first OPI polishes, and so far I don't have much to complain. They're quite "runny" which makes the application easier for some, but messier for me (though I'm always messy with polishes).

Teal the Cows Come Home needs more than one layer if you want the colour to be close to what it looks like in the bottle (but that didn't surprise me), and as with most shatter/crackle polishes, you want to be quite fast with Silver Shatter. 

Gina Tricot Base coat and Pearl Fashion UK Pomegranate

The Gina Tricot one I bought myself whereas I got the Pearl Fashion UK one from my friend Meri, who instead got it from a surprise bag at a convention. 

Don't have much to say about these except that the base coat is very easy to apply, and dries fast which is ALWAYS a plus with me, since I'm incredibly impatient with waiting for nail polishes to dry. Pomegranate shows up very vibrant even after one layer, is easy to apply and dries evenly. 

Flormar Supershine Miracle U09 and Flormar Matifying Top-Coat

I am kinda in love with these two. I got them both for 5€ from Seppälä in Finland and only regret not getting more. I was actually surprised to see Flormar polishes in Finland.
It takes two layers for the U09 to cover the nail, but the result is beautiful. It is this deep purple with shiny, tiny bits of glitter, and it's gorgeous. Downside is you have to wait for it to dry quite a while...
The matifying top-coat is so smooth. Honestly, it dries surprisingly quickly and leaves this smooth, matte coat and from under that you can still see the colours really well.
I love using these two together.

Aaand that's about it with the nail polishes. Like I said, swatches will be coming soon! But later x)

Now, to my new awesome hair that I got cut today at Toni&Guy Worcester!

I had the appointment really early (9.00!!!) so you can guess how happy I was when I found out the washing chair had a massage setting going from shoulders to lower back~ 

And my hairdresser, Connie, gave me a quick head massage while washing my hair! I love being pampered like that ♥

Got myself a fringe!

First I only wanted to get rid of my split ends, but the night before decided to go for a full fringe as well. I got to keep my hair long, which was the main thing. I was scared that she needed to cut way more off in order to get rid of the worst splits...

Never mind the bags under my eyes... couldn't be bothered to put any make-up on!

The fringe will be in my eyes in a week or two, but I don't care because I'm loving it right now!

That's about it for today, I'm afraid. More coming soon!

Stay human, and blog ya later!
