Today I woke up to beautiful sunshine and it actually was warm again! I was so happy that without thinking twice I picked my new maxi skirt and top and decided to wear that outfit today. I went for a coffee in town with my friend Joanna, so I also had a good reason to dress up nicely. I was never convinced of long skirts/dresses because I felt like I am just too short to wear them without high heels and since my knees are not good with high heels, I never got a maxi piece. However, last time when I was shopping, I spotted this beautiful tropical skirt and decided to at least try it on. And I instantly fell in love with it. So, here's today's outfit! white cami - Primark leather bag - FOSSIL maxi skirt - H&M I really like those cut outs on both legs - that's probably what convinced me to buy the skirt! I put my hair up in a ponytail since it was pretty warm and I also felt like this outfit looks so much better with a ponytail instead of my hair down.

Hello world! I feel so bad for not blogging at all lately, but I've been working over the weekend and it was generally a bit stressful since I'm leaving in two days. I don't have many things left here that I could blog about, since the majority of my luggage is already overseas ( and safe). But, I was waiting for the right moment to film a video about all the empty products I've collected over the last few months. I knew that I would be going away on holiday in July, so I already tried to cut down on my beauty products and when I found out two weeks ago that I have to leave, I decided that there is really no point in packing every single thing and shipping it abroad because I already sent 70 kg of luggage and this is just crazy!!! I only packed products that are still unused or at least not nearly empty and for my flight on Wednesday I can only take little liquid bottles since I only have hand luggage booked. I hope this explains the situation a bit. So, since I'

I always wanted to film some make-up videos but I don't have a good tripod nor good light to film such nice close up's. So even if I try to take make-up pictures it is extremely difficult to capture the make-up. I basically look very, very weird on such close up pictures and then I always decide better not to do make-up posts because I am just so bad at them. But today I thought I'd show you what I usually apply to my face in the morning and how it looks like after a whole day of running around in the rain, trying to find something without big success. To start with, I use the REN vita Mineral Active 7 Eye Gel around my eyes and sometimes I also feel like moisturising, so I also use my Tolpa mattifying face cream, but usually I do in the evenings. Then, I use my Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in the shade 010 Ivory - I apply it underneath my eyes, on all the spots and red bits of my face. Once I'm done with that, I use my Bourjois Healthy Balance powder in 53 an

As you may already know, I've had bad nails for years and even using conditioners doesn't help as much as I would need it to keep my nails pretty and at least a bit longer than just to the tip of my fingers. I've had gel nails for a pretty long time and I loved them but it also happened that my nails broke underneath the gel, so that the gel layers broke too and it was tricky to fix my nails again. I also tried some stick on nails around September last year but I didn't wear them for too long since I thought that sticking on the nails went wrong very often and it made me angry too. However, recently I've seen several girls writing about the fake nails from Primark. Since they are just £1 for 24 nails and the glue, I thought that this is really worth trying and I found two designs that I really liked so I took both of them home. Now, I only tried them out last night after work, because I was pretty sure that ripping apart cardboard will ruin the nails qu

I have already spoken about this topic in the latest vlog, which didn't turn out to be a real vlog because I was ill and in bed all week long and then this topic came up that changed my life a lot again. You can go and listen to it here: VLOG . Or continue reading here... So, you already know that I came to Scotland from Austria last July just after graduating from High School. I basically left everything behind to live with my dear boyfriend Eryk and to study in the UK. Since I didn't get a place at Uni straight away, I got told to study at College for one year to gain more experience since this will give me more chances for next year. I've applied for Uni the second year in a row while still going to College. Now, College is over, I've finished with Advanced Higher French and Higher Spanish and was expected to go to Uni after summer. Problems started when I first got rejected from all my choices and I had to consider going back to Austria. For this reason I al

After working for three days in a row I am so exhausted that I already feel bad for being so weak actually. I ended up with a flu, which is not too pleasant, but at least I don't have to worry about College any more and I will only need to come back to work next weekend. I hope I will be healthy again by that time. I just returned from my GP and the pharmacy and am just sitting in my bed after quickly taking outfit pictures outside with Eryk. I decided to finally post something again and I feel like outfit posts are my favourite and somehow they always bring in the most views. So this shows that apart from me, there are also others that seem to enjoy this kind of posts. When my mum was over I already mentioned in the previous posts ( here and here ) that we did some shopping and also on Thursday I ended up buying myself a new bag. Yes, again. I actually felt so bad for doing this that I was thinking of returning it the same day, but then again I would regret it even more,

It's Friday again and the whole week was amazing because it was sunny and hot and I finally felt happier and more alive. Bad weather makes me feel so depressive that I was more than happy to see the sun shining every day now. I've been tanning every morning and afternoon, I enjoyed eating my watermelon in the sun and using my beautiful smelling tanning oil, that reminds me SO much of holidays with my family. This week's vlog is mostly about us having fun in the sun, going on walks, shopping and me going to the cinema with my French group to see Timbuktu   and eating frozen yogurt again, in the sun. The only thing I can say about this week is that I really enjoyed it and I am sad that the weekend is said to be colder again. I do hope that next week will be nicer again, so I try to stay positive. I didn't plan to do much today but in the morning I got a call from work and got asked if I could cover someone's shift, so I did work for six hours today too. And

I've been in heaven all day long because of the amazing sun and the really warm temperature. I've got such a tan compared to what I looked like yesterday, but you can't really tell from the pictures. To me it's kind of the first really hot day of the year, even though Vienna is twice as hot as the moment. but I would call it hot here in Edinburgh today. I was in the sun all morning and early afternoon but now I decided to sit at home a bit to let my skin relax a bit. In half an hour I'm leaving to pick Eryk up from work and this is the outfit I chose: batik print dress - Troll leather satchel - FOSSIL lace flats - Primark I also decided to braid my "fringe" so that the hair is not in my face all the time because I would sweat even more. And here's what I looked like before, but after laying in the grass fully exposed to the sun for about two hours.Here I only wanted to be outside but not really having my face in the sunsh

Last week my mum was in Edinburgh and we spent some days visiting the city, but we also went to shops because my mum wanted to get herself some stuff from here. And of course I also found some pieces I couldn't leave without. I thought it would be fun to write a quick entry about all the things I got last week ( maybe nearly all the things because many things were household stuff and that's rather boring I'd say). Apart from that, my mum brought about 6 kg of sweets and I am happy. First of all: Beauty. I got myself a new concealer since I was running out of my previous one and I usually get the Collection Lasting Perfection, but there was no shade 1 in any of the shops I went to. So I decided to try the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer. If you'd like to read a review/comparison of those concealers - let me know. Then I also got two lip sticks. First we have the Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Gloss Stick in shade Sunrise 03. My mum actually also got one from th

After ten months of living in the UK, my mum finally managed to come and visit me over here for some days. I was very excited to see her again and even though we've seen each other in April last time, I couldn't hold back my tears when I saw her coming through the Arrivals door at the Airport. Being so far from my family has shown me how important my family is for me, how much I miss them and how good it is to live near your loved ones. We spent some days exploring Edinburgh a bit and we even went to places I haven't actually been to before, so I also saw something new. We had pretty good weather, since it nearly wasn't raining at all and it wasn't cold either. It could have been better, but we were happy with how it all turned out. I definitely enjoyed those days with my mum and am also sad that she is already back home, but I know that my little brother needs her more and that I will see her soon again. While the vlog is uploading, here are some impressions

Today I woke up and went tanning in the garden and I felt like it was really warm for Scotland. It was warm enough for me to just wear a dress and a little cardigan, so that's all I've been wearing when I went to town. But on the bus I realised that everyone was wearing winter jackets, now that it's warm. When I am freezing people tell me that it's so warm and that I'm weird. Well. It got really windy later and it was difficult for me to keep my dress down. Good that Eryk was carrying the shopping. I am aware that my face doesn't look too photogenic in this picture but trust me, it was the best of all. dress - New Look leather satchel - FOSSIL cardigan - ZARA flats - Mel by Melissa Here I tried to spin and I thought the dress would look very pretty, but the picture turned out more weird than nice. And here's one of my selfies that I took at Superdry today. I didn't get anything because I would buy everything at once, but Er
