Leopard Jeans

Heya lovelies!

How are you all today? ♥

We're currently spending the weekend at my parents' place, and as I'm typing this, we're waiting my dad to grill some delicious pork for us. Don't you just love spending the time with your parents and other relatives?

I know I do.

It's already halfway of my vacation, and I've enjoyed it quite a bit. It would be so easy just study and focus to it 100%. Well, unfortunately I can't do that. I have to work to cover all the bills and such, and I always love to have a bit extra for - well, you know, pretty things.

So part-time job it is, until I have a degree.

Tomorrow we're supposed to go see this friend of my dad's, who can fix little damages people have in their bodies - like an ankle that doesn't move as it should, or a bump on your leg that's not supposed to be there. So yeah, he's basically a miracle worker - or some kind of healer, and I'm excited to see what he can do.

And I'll report back afterwards. ;)

Anyways, I'm kinda excited about school, though I hate early mornings, and the dry lectures, but the thought of getting my degree - and seeing my friends doing it - is so tempting that I feel like I can make it. Even if last year was exhausting.

Anyways, I have to cut this short so family won't have to wait me for dinner. ;)

So here's the look for today (photos taken a couple of weeks ago):

Top: H&M
Leopard print jeans: H&M
Wedges: SpiritStore
Cropped leather jacket: VILA
Layered necklace: H&M
Black bracelets: H&M
Rhinestone bracelet: KappAhl
Skull bracelet: Gina Tricot

So that's what I wore some while ago - this is actually something I will be wearing again during this school year. How many of you love leopard print jeans? You can find your own pair at H&M this Fall, even though my pair is a sale find from Spring, they're very affordable! (And not to mention fabulous!) I should maybe warn you, you'll be seeing quite a bit these jeans later on - they are my go-to pants this Fall (yep, obsessed with the print, if you haven't noticed already...) - and I believe they are very versatile with the neutral grey tones. And the wedges are a must-have as well, as you maybe can see from the pictures, they've been worn a lot (so much so they're about to fall apart, lol.). I simply love outfits like this, and I hope I can show you more this kind of looks during the next three months or so. (Before Winter, that is.)

So, the question is: How do you feel about this outfit?

Of course, the manicure challenge is still going on, and I'm already feeling sad it's coming closer to an end. (In real life, not so much in the blog, though.) I'd like to remind you that you can suggest manicures (and that means ANY manicure) any time you feel like it. And I'll try and create manicures - and tutorials for you. 

Now, let's see the manicure for this day's post:

Manicure challenge

#13, Animal print nails

So, this one was kinda obvious to me - I had to do a leopard print. (Those who've followed longer know that I have a bit of obsession, especially in nail art.) I also added an accent nail, just for the fun of it. And maybe little for practicing the ombre nail thingy.

I started off with a basic French mani, and painted the ring finger white. Then I created a little ombre effect for the ring finger, and added little spots (white for ring fingers, colorful for others). After that I painted the spots into leopard print using nail art pen.

If you'd like a tutorial about this, let me know, and I will make it happen after the manicure challenge. :)

What are your thoughts about this manicure? ♥

I hope all of you are having a nice weekend - I sure am - and do enjoy the company of your loved ones!

Blog ya later,

Bare Midriff

Hey lovelies!

How are you all? ♥

Isn't it fun it's almost weekend? I know I'm loving it. Today I was shopping and lunching with my fiance and his friend who's staying over until tomorrow, and I really had a lot of fun. I also got an item I need to finish off a DIY project, so stay tuned for a brand new DIY post. ;)

And I got a little something to put on packages I'll put on mail tomorrow. Those who are waiting for me to send something to them, heads up!

Did I mention earlier I had a nasty little fall the other day? I got three cuts from asphalt and it hurts when I walk, but other than that, I'm just fine. Days like that really remind me why I keep photos stored for the future - when something weird happens, I still can blog. :D

Now, what I can say for the outfit... I had been curious to try out the bare midriff trend, but haven't really had the top - or the bottom to create the look. Then one day, when I was tidying my closet, it came to me. I had the top and had the bottom, and when it was warm enough, I wore them together.

And here's the result:

Skirt: thrifted
Cropped top: Gina Tricot, studs DIY
Biker shorts leggings: Gina Tricot
Wedges: SpiritStore
Faux leather jacket: H&M
Pink necklace: my cousin's old
Skull rosary necklace: Gina Tricot
Feather earrings: H&M
Stud earring: H&M
Cuff: Gina Tricot

I must say this is one of my favorite Summer outfits this far - though I've worn many lovely ones after this, too. I love the way my hair looks here, the shade is so cute. I try my best to keep it that way (meaning, a bath tomorrow with some bubbly and a color mask ;)), but we'll see - as, you know, I'm not really a redhead. 

What do you all think about the look? Have you tried this trend, or do you plan to leave it for the others?

Oh, you know what I'm starting tomorrow? The 31-day manicure challenge! (Mentioned in this post.) ;) Okay, it'll be more like 2-3 months long due my schedule, but it'll be exciting - at least for me, anyways. The manicures will be featured in the blog, and I try to make some of them into tutorials if I just have the time.

Also, I have some exciting news to share with you, but it's not quite the time yet. Can't wait to get to tell you all, though! 

Have a fabulous start for your weekend! 

Blog ya later, 

xoxo
