Que pasa?

HeyHiHola!

The last couple days have just flown by due to the fact that I've been trying to hang out with friends as much as possible before we all disperse to various holiday destinations and summer houses in a couple days. We've been to the cinema, out to eat, watches a boatload of Community and we even spent last night roasting marshmallows by the beach in the sunset, which was wonderful!
So that's why I haven't really put much effort into posts, sometimes you have to put focus into other things :)

If you have any suggestions for future posts, be sure to let me know! Hope you're all enjoying summer so far because I certainly am!

DIY projects

The only downside, as one might put it, with not having school anymore is the unbelievable amount of spare time that I have on my hands and I don't know how to spend it, especially when the weather is horrible! So I've been reading like crazy and trying to put my tendency to not throw anything away to good use. So I've collected all the things in form of tickets, broshures, pictures, clothing tags etc. and tried to assemble something creative out of them.

Here are my results:

On a metal bulletin board from Ikea, I put up maps from Paris (♥) and skiisystems, clothing tags, a postcard portraying Rauschenbergs goat,  airplane tickets and other pretty things.

Close up, I put hearts on the Paris map of where we stayed during the last two times I was there!

I found a bunch of magazine clippings from last summer and decided to finally put them all together in a collage. It turned out really bright & colourful which will look really nice on my wall.

This I didn't do today but it's something that I thought was appropriate to show in this post, I took my boring wooden wardrobe door and put up a whole bunch of pictures on it. It immediately made everything look a lot livelier and + its something that my friends always look at when they come over!

I love doing little changes to my room every now and then!

Dip dye hair?

Dip dying has been all the rage this season, everything from dresses to shorts to ...hair! I honestly haven't thought much of it until a friend and I started discussing it the other day. I actually think it can look really cool! Of course, it depends on the person and the intensity of the colouring but a few pops of pink here and there on beach-y tousled hair is really pretty!

I don't think I'd ever do it for real, at least not now when I still live at home and knowing that my mum would freak if I did... However, when I was browsing the cosmetics store the other day, I found a hair mascara and decided to give it a shot.  I chose pink because I think it suits me the best but they had a bunch of different colours!

It only lasts until you wash your hair but I think its a really fun way to temporarily change up your look and go a bit wild! + it looks cool in photos!


What do you think? Pretty or tacky?

Stocking up for summer!

I'm an avid reader (to say the least) so I always make sure to have a good amount of books to keep me entertained, especially when school isn't taking up all my time anymore.  I recently borrowed some books from a friend, which by the way is an excellent way to get a hold of good books without having to buy them, which I'm planning to read in the coming weeks.

Thanks for the memories  by Cecelia Ahern
The Time Traveler's Wife  by Audrey Niffenegger
One day  by David Nichols
The Great Gatsby  by F. Scott Fitzgerald

I'm really excited to read all of these and hopefully they'll be just as good as my friend said they were :)  These along with the 20-something books I'm planning to order from amazon (my favourite place to buy books) will surely satisfy me throughout my vacation! 

Have any of you read any of these books?

Outfit of the day

 Since the weather is absolutely horrid at the moment (hurricane winds, rain, cold etc.) I haven't exactly been able to wear dresses and shorts (much to my dismay) so I had to settle for clothes that are appropriate for both the season and the weather. Full covering clothes to protect from the cold yet light and summer-y colours!

Blouse from Odd Molly
Pants from Zara
Scarf from Zara
Bag from Zadig & Voltaire
Ankle boots from Vagabond
