DIY Bracelet Inspiration

In order to get back to my creative self and DIY roots, I actually went and ordered quite a bit of jewelry making supplies and even went to a bead shop (and dragged my boyfriend there too, haha), to get things for nice jewelry pieces. So maybe from now on, I can craft new jewelry pieces instead of buying them from places where the origins of the pieces might be questionable (a.k.a. sweatshops). Since the internet is full of amazing tutorials for everything imaginable, there's basically no reason to not try to make things myself.

June & July Jewelry

Since I've been loving MintMONGOOSE subscription boxes a lot for the first three months, I figured I should write a little post about the June and July boxes. You may have seen these already on my Instagram in case you follow me there, but I thought I would talk a little more in depth about the jewelry.

January Sales Finds ♥

Hello everyone!

How are you all? ♥

I'm finally having some time to sit down and catch up with you, which is pretty awesome to be honest. It's yet again one of those weeks when I don't seem to be having enough hours in a day, especially when I try to get enough sleep to get through it all. Thank goodness it's getting more and more sunny every day, so it's easier to stay energetic. Today I'm functioning (aka staying awake) on caffeine and sugar and I literally feel it being bad for my body. I probably should know better at this age but... Yeah.

Today, I really wanted to share my sales finds from this month with you. It's not too, too much, but taken my budget it's quite a nice haul. Next month, I'm planning to go through my closet, get rid of items I don't need, and if I shop for something (meaning clothes or accessories) it will be only in flea markets. I could even do a post about shopping from flea markets and thrift stores if you guys would care for that. But, without further ado, to the haul:

DSC04584 (Large)

Cute set of three necklaces. I feel these could be worn all at ones, in pairs or alone -and combined with other items I have in my jewelry box. I thought these were super adorable, and taken their original price was way over 10 Euros, I got a good deal on them.

DSC04588 (Large)

Set of 10 rings. I feel these will get a ton of wear out of them once the weather get warm enough to actually show the fingers more than now. They would also be a cool detail in nail art shots. For a 20 Euros worthy product, the price was more than decent.

DSC04581 (Large)

Cross bracelet, simply because one can't have too many. Nothing more to add there.

DSC04577 (Large)

Triangle shape, tassels, silver color and necklace in one? Umm, yes please! True to my style, this is a long one, and I got it practically free so that's all just win, right?

DSC04574 (Large)

Beautifully detailed ring for some spring/summer looks I've been planning. I love the combination of gold and turquoise here!

DSC04573 (Large)

Snake ring, as I've seen these all over Instagram and wanted something similar on budget. Score!

DSC04571 (Large)

Snake theme continues on the earring set, which I actually bought for the big graphic ones, but the snakes were an added bonus.

DSC04568 (Large)

So, did I mention I bought rings? I feel this got a bit out of hand. (Pun intended.)

DSC04564 (Large)

...and why only get gold when you can get silver as well. I think I'm planning to have an armor on my fingers the next six months or more. There's no other reasonable explanation to this addiction.

DSC04560 (Large)

Sports top in cute colors. I'm totally feeling this one as I need to get back on track with my workout routine. Nice clothes help with that. (Says the girl working out alone at home where no one ever sees my gear. Yeah, the logic is solid there, right?)

DSC04558 (Large)

Striped tee as I need to freshen up my basics a bit. This is a good one to start with. Black and white, lovely stripe print, and the unique looking "worn out" material. I love this tee, and I'm actually wearing it at the moment.

DSC04556 (Large)

Pleather pants with elastic waist. I think these might be as comfy as leather pieces get. Even if these are faux leather, but still. I love the color here a lot, and as the spring approaches, I'm craving for new leather items so these were a must.

DSC04552 (Large)

And last but not least, leopard print jeans, subtly in all-black. I really like the fabric here, even though it is an animal print item, it's pretty safe to wear as it is all in one color. So I think these totally work even in office, where I will hopefully be working soon enough (as I have to do an internship for my studies this summer).

What do you guys think about these finds, and have you had good ones yourself this month? Let me know in the comments below!

Now I'm finally done with all the stuff I had planned for today, and I can go get the good night's sleep I definitely need. Only two days to go before the weekend, and thankfully next week will be a bit easier than this one. I think. But I'll be back tomorrow with another post, so stay tuned for that!

Have a fantastic day, dolls ♥

New In: Germany Shoppings ♥

Hello lovelies!

How are you all? ♥

I've been a bit swamped with all the things (today I should still clean up, do the laundry, handle some school things and go do my shift at work) so this post got delayed for a day. Sorry!

Anyway, today I just wanted to show you my shopping haul from the Germany trip:

 photo DSC00796Large.jpg

I figured since there were shops that we don't have in Finland, I could buy kind of many things. Still, I could've gone way more overboard.

 photo DSC00797Large.jpg

I got socks - because they get used up and nasty and one should upgrade those pretty much every year. And these are so cute colors.

 photo DSC00799Large.jpg photo DSC00802Large.jpg

A floral top with nice back.

 photo DSC00804Large.jpg

Sporty top for many different looks.

 photo DSC00807Large.jpg

Print tee that would probably look pretty cool with jackets and such.

 photo DSC00810Large.jpg photo DSC00813Large.jpg photo DSC00814Large.jpg

Sheer vest with faux leather detail on shoulders. Love it.

 photo DSC00818Large.jpg photo DSC00822Large.jpg

Floral dress with black trims. Totally loving this one - and it can be transitioned to autumn, too.

 photo DSC00826Large.jpg

Oversized tank top with cool print.

 photo DSC00829Large.jpg

Basic tops. Like socks, everybody needs them.

 photo DSC00832Large.jpg photo DSC00834Large.jpg

Iron Man skirt. Seriously, the words aren't enough to tell how happy I am that I found this. For one Euro.

 photo DSC00835Large.jpg

Then my souvenirs and the pair of sunglasses I found.

 photo DSC00838Large.jpg

I know I don't usually mention buying toys and such, but this one was something my fiance insisted on buying for me when we visited the Frankfurt zoo, but missed my favorite animals, tigers, because they were having siesta that time. I know, I'm a bit spoiled.

 photo DSC00839Large.jpg photo DSC00842Large.jpg

My first ever F1 cap, with Mercedes and Nico Rosberg. Totally a driver I support, even if I maybe should've gotten a Valtteri Bottas one. Especially since as I got another one too:

 photo DSC00846Large.jpg photo DSC00850Large.jpg

...which is Red Bull one with Daniel Ricciardo's name. If only I had more money on me there, I would've probably bought even more. :D So let's just be glad I got away with just two caps.

 photo DSC00854Large.jpg

Last but not least, sunglasses I bought from Primark. I really loved the rhinestones on top so I had to have these. No one tell me I have too many pairs.

What do you think about my buys? Let me know below ♥

Now, I need to get to the household chores and such. But I'll be back as soon as I can!

Have a great day, dolls!

Born Pretty Store Thingies ♥

Hello everyone!

How are you all? ♥

Once again the week has gone by incredibly fast, and I can't believe I haven't blogged after Monday. Well, technically, after Thursday, as I wrote the posts for the weekend beforehand. Anyway, I'm back now, and today I really just wanted to share some goodies I got this week from Born Pretty Store. There's more than just nail things, so don't worry, you can keep reading, haha.

 photo DSC08430Large.jpg

So this is the pile of stuff I got, I decided to try out the surprise bags once again so there's some items I couldn't predict at all. Also, I had some things for the giveaway I'll be hosting after we hit the 300 GFC readers - which I will only show once the giveaway is up. I've got many nice things for it, so definitely stay tuned for that. Hopefully we'll hit the number soon.

Okay, you probably want to see the items now, right? Let's do that.

 photo DSC08432Large.jpg

So first up, we have these temporary tattoos with cute bird design. I'm so indecisive I really can't pick a real tattoo and be sure I'm happy with it forever, and therefore it's better for me to stick with these ones for now. But aren't they cute?

 photo DSC08433Large.jpg

A hairband, the telephone wire type I've been dying to try out. I wish it was pink, though.

 photo DSC08436Large.jpg

Random jewelry from a surprise bag, I love them!

 photo DSC08435Large.jpg

Neon stickers for nails - perfection for summer manicures!

 photo DSC08439Large.jpg

Fiercely long nail tips, which I might try out for a photo shoot or such, but don't know yet. Also from a surprise box as I don't buy these on my own.

 photo DSC08441Large.jpg

Cute baby pink press-on nails. Another thing I didn't know I was getting, but I would definitely use these for a week when my nails need to be without nail polish.

 photo DSC08445Large.jpg

Random nail charms, all of them are pretty adorable.

 photo DSC08447Large.jpg

Black bows for nails - I have these on white as well, and I figured the black ones would be a great addition.

 photo DSC08448Large.jpg

A striping tape. Because there's never too many. Except when there is.

 photo DSC08452Large.jpg

And last, but definitely not least, pastel studs! You all know how much I love studs on anything, so these were the perfect thing to go with my new pastel nail polishes.

So, what do you think about my little haul? ♥

Remember, if you wanna go and get any of these items - or something else - from the Born Pretty store, grab the discount code JVNT10 and use it at the checkout to get 10% off of your purchase.

Now, I gotta get going with the evening snack, but I'll be back soon, hopefully with the Easter pictures!

Have a lovely day ♥

New Spring Items ♥

Hello my darlings!

How are you all? ♥

I've had longer gaps with the blog posts than I would've wanted to, because I'm dealing with some stuff in my personal life. But not to worry, it's nothing too serious - actually it's something I want to write about later on when I get things in order. But in the meantime, I will show you the results of a little retail therapy I did last week:

 photo DSC07483Large.jpg

A little accessory haul from Boohoo. I have been thinking a lot about how I want my style to really be, and so I needed a little accessory fix to take a step forward to it. (Naturally the next step is cleaning up some unnecessary items from the closet.) You can see elements that I've many times stated being favorites of mine, black, bright pink, studs...

 photo DSC07485Large.jpg

A pair of black over-knee socks, totally something my rock chic looks need - can't wait to wear these!

 photo DSC07497Large.jpg

Another beanie, in neon pink. Do I even need to explain myself with this? Probably not.

 photo DSC07488Large.jpg

Pink sneakers. Because you can not have too many pairs of sneakers. And they're pink.

 photo DSC07490Large.jpg

Studded gloves. These really have to wait for the warmer weather - and a day I actually feel comfortable leaving the house with a stack of rings. They don't cover the hand very far, so they're more of a fashion statement than a warming element.

 photo DSC07494Large.jpg

And lastly, two pairs of sunnies. These are not as appealing to me as my beloved aviators, but I figured I should try out different things. And these were cheap, and just simply plastic, so I won't feel too bad if something happens to them.

That's it for today, hope you liked my little haul. Have you all done any hauls lately? What will your style look like this spring? ♥

Now, I really must head to work, but I try to have another post up tomorrow!

Have a fabulous day ♥

Let's be friends in IG!
