Hey everyone!

Hope you've had a lovely start for your week ♥

I've been enjoying my free time as I don't have to work this week, so I can focus more on cooking and training and fun stuff, which is very nice. Also, as I will be spending more time in the kitchen, it should look nice. So, I finally did something to the plain white wall full of little holes and stuff, where our spice shelf is located. See more below!



So what I had to deal with was this white wall here. It's no entirely unpleasant, but I don't like plain white walls that much. Especially ones with little holes and stuff in them. So, on Sunday we headed to IKEA and I picked up some decoration items to spruce this up for the Spring.

I decided to use stickers, because we don't own the apartment and can't do major renovations on our own, but these can be ripped off when we eventually move.



So, when we got home, it was time for little planning. I have no vision whatsoever if I can't plan things visually, so I took out some tape and gently attached the cut out sticker things (with the paper in the back, of course) the way I wanted the layout to be.

After that came the hardest part - attaching the stickers. Okay, so it wasn't that difficult as the stickers weren't huge, but still. And the end result? See for yourselves:



Simple and fresh in my opinion, and totally changes the look of the kitchen.



Of course, whenever the light hits them in the right angle, you will see clearly they're stickers, but personally I don't really mind that. And these are also the type of plants I cannot manage to kill with the lack of watering, so that's just perfect.



All in all, I love our little renewed kitchen wall, and the best thing about this renovation is that it only cost 13 Euros. ;) Goes to show that a little bit can go a long way with just a bit of creativity. This Spring I will enjoy cooking even more because the environment is so pretty.

Have you guys done any Spring makeovers of any sorts? Let me know below! And also, tell me what you think about this little DIY project I manage to pull off. ♥

Once again it's time for me to go catch some sleep, and tomorrow, I will be having quite the day with workout, homecooking and Spring cleaning. Yeah, I know, my life is so exciting (not). But I'll get back to you as soon as I can, because I have loads to post for you!

Have a fabulous day ♥

Heya lovelies!

How was your weekend? ♥

Mine flew by so fast, but luckily I'm now on vacation from work so it's not quite yet time for work tomorrow. Today I actually did a little Spring makeover in our kitchen, which I will be talking about more tomorrow, and I'm planning on doing a little tidy-up around the house - like decluttering, reorganizing and such. Also, I have been training more regularly lately to sooth down my anxiety and to get more fit, and that is another thing I will be doing a post about later on, because it's been super effective so far.

However today I just wanted to share this outfit really quickly with you all.



This is yet another pretty typical look for me with booties, jeans and leather in it. The special part this time are the animal prints and pink details.



There's actually no snow here anymore, but these pics were taken like two weeks ago when nights were still colder.

See how my cellphone matches my lips and beanie? Yeah, so cool. And yes, I'm an adult with penguin covers. Deal with it.

But what do you think about the look? Have you also been getting nice weather lately?

Now, I'm gonna head to watch some TV and eat, but I'll be back tomorrow with some home makeover!

Have a great day! ♥

Heya lovelies!

How are you? ♥

I'm so excited to show you some things I got from mail this week. I've been waiting these beauties to arrive for quite some time now (okay, like under two weeks, but I was so impatient), and finally I get to do full Spring looks - including my nails.

So yes, it's another polish haul. If you're fed up with my polish addiction, just wait for the next post. It will be more style related. ;)



As most of you probably know, I'm such a China Glaze girl. I absolutely adore their collections and find their polish names so fabulous and accurate. Also, the quality of the polish is way worth the money - even though they are pretty affordable compared to O.P.I. and Essie.



As the postals to Finland are pretty high usually, I tend to buy not that often, but when I do, I get many. So again this time, I went for eight new polishes. And as you can see, the shades I chose are pretty Spring-appropriate.

Next, let's take a closer look of the colors I bought.



From the Spring 2014 City Flourish collection. Grass Is Lime Greener is a gorgeous pastel green that goes borderline neon in my opinion. Very pretty shade that I absolutely fell in love with when I saw the swatches on nail blogs, and even more so when I got it in my hands. It's a nice change as I tend to hoard mint greens and not so much greens. This will totally make it into my Spring manicures.



From the Summer 2013 Sunsational collection. Highlight Of My Summer is a very pretty shade of mint (I guess) but more green than your traditional mint polish. Like I've seen others describe, it's hard to tell if this is a neon, or just a bright shade. I'm personally still on the fence about that, but I'll let you know if I figure it out later on.



From Spring 2014 City Flourish collection. At Vase Value has been described very difficult to work with due its formula, but as I have a strong addiction for my mint shades I couldn't pass this. This really tries to be a basic light blue, but at least the bottle I got as a minty shade to it. I totally love this a lot and could imagine wearing this very often.

I know many of you are thinking these shades above are just the same, but let me assure you, they're not. You can check out the swatches on the bottom of this post to see for yourselves.



From Spring 2014 City Flourish collection. Metro Pollen-Tin is an adorable shade of yellowish orange, that could probably be counted as a pastel, but really is also borderline neon. I love how bright this one is, and I also love how it is so different than any other shade I own. I could see this being one of my favorites when I just get a hint of a tan worked out.



From Spring 2014 City Flourish collection. Spring In My Step is a very basic baby pink, but as I was indeed missing one from my collection, this was a must-have for me. This is actually the only one of these I got to try on my nails before typing this post, so I can tell you it wasn't as painful to work with as people had said. I got a nice finish with just two not that thick coats and it also dried up reasonably quickly. So all in all, this is a great polish to have.



From the Hunger Games collection. Fast Track is a pretty nude/beige/light brown polish with stunning golden glitter in it. The glitter seems pretty subtle, so I think this would be a great color when you want a bit more glam mani, but you need it to be appropriate everywhere at the same time. This looks very cute in the sunlight, and I can't wait to get to try this in manicures.



From Fall 2012 On The Safari collection. Elephant Walk is a very lovely shade of grey with a silvery shimmer to it. I'm still not quite sure whether I like this a lot or not, but I really can see myself wearing this more towards the Fall. Why buy this now? I have no idea, it just felt like a cool thing to do.



From the Surprise collection. Don't Be A Flake is a very cute mix of light blue, black and kind of holo pink hexagon glitter with a clear base. I absolutely love this combo - and as you know, I have a weakness for glitter polishes altogether. I actually have this one on my nails right now together with the pink seen in this post, and I can't get over how cute that combo is. I can guarantee you will be seeing more of this gorgeous polish!

Swatches:

Below you can see how each polish looks on a nail. Though, there's a bit of a flash to each pic, so they appear lighter than they really are. I tried to make the pictures as accurate as I could, though.







The focus was out of place with the last one, and I must correct that the pink glitter in Don't Be A Flake is actually more pink and cute than the photo suggests. I will be providing more pics pretty soon though, as I created a mani with this glittery goodness just today.

I hope you enjoyed this little haul, please let me know what you think of this below in the comments. ♥ Also, I would like to know what color your nails are today?

Now, this girl needs to get some sleep as in the morning, it's time for the Malaysian GP qualifying session in F1, and naturally I (the sports fan that I am) will be up early to watch it. I hope I will get nice posts for you guys this weekend, but even when I'm not writing here, you can always find me on Instagram (@silvertigo). Follow me there for many moments that don't make it into this blog, and also for the blog updates!

Have a fabulous day ♥

Hey babes!

How are you all? ♥

I've been meaning to post this for many days now, but due to this thing called my unexpected life, I just didn't even my computer for few days.

Today, however, I just have few minutes before heading to work, so let's see this outfit out, shall we:



Like the title suggests, this is all about my comfort zone, a.k.a. casual pieces in shades of black and gray. Everything about this look is pure love to me, and I'm so happy it starts to be warm enough for leather jackets out there!















Leather jacket: H&M Jeans: Gina Tricot Shoes: Nelly.com Bag: Boohoo Beanie: DIY Bracelet: Europehouse Shirt: Cubus Necklace: Gina Tricot Rings: Gina Tricot, Nelly.com, H&M Earrings: Gina Tricot

So, a very simple look, totally casual and easy to wear, and all the elements are so comfy to me - on many levels. Like I've mentioned before, this kind of looks are my go-to outfits. Not very girly, but that's me.

What are your go-to looks like? And what do you think about mine? Let me know in the comments! ♥

Now, I must dash. But tomorrow, I will have another fun post for you for sure. ;)

Have a fabulous day! ♥
