DDOF Daily Dose Of French

daily dose of french

I got into a bit of a habit of watching one french movie a day, calling it my daily dose of french (how thoughtful). Yesterday I didn't got around watching a movie though as I attended even better. An evening spent outside of a historical villa listening to french music performed by Chris Ruebens ensemble. Well known french songs such as "Je Ne Veux Pas Travailler", "Aux Champs Elysées" and many more. I was overly excited when the latter started playing, because I had to learn the chorus of the song by heart last school year for the french class. 

And here's what I wore! The whole outfit is thrifted (I swear I seem to live on thrifting, sales and other bargains only) except for wedges which are from a local shoe store, socks from Seppala and the bag from vj-style.com

Go listen to Chris Ruebens here.

Don't forget that you're tagged to do this. Yes, YOU!

And check out my most recent nail art tutorial!

What We Made and What I Wore

Yesterday, 1st of July, me and a couple of friends totally succeeded in baking a cake, a belated birthday gift. A simple combination of yummiest ingredients on earth and a recipe out of our heads. I may put together a recipe and share it sometime!

Here's yesterday's unusually plain outfit I wore. Much more summery-colorful looks are coming soon as I'm really not the one who sticks to simple throughout summertime. But I had to stay comfy yesterday!

I will be back with decent blog posts soon I guess. I have makeup to rave about, so a much more text including posts such as reviews are on their way. 

BISOUS BISOUS,

OUTFIT POST or What I Wore The Last Time I Was Dragged Out Of The House

OR WHAT I WORE THE LAST TIME I WAS DRAGGED OUT OF THE HOUSE

I gotta admit I've reached a whole new level of laziness throughout this first month of Summer. Although, I do love to make myself look decent for going out, makeup and clothes are beyond exciting. I've gone out only a few times this month yet captured only one of them. 

I wore this summery piece of loose top from New Yorker and thrifted high-waisted shorts with a bow in the front which totally disappeared in a photo. My wedges are from a local shoe store, beloved bag from vj-style  and a rose gold watch from ebay.

It's been forever since I posted such a close-up of me on the internet, ouch

A Week In Outfits

A WEEK IN OUTFITS

Spring's here, no more whining. I can wear my pastels and dress all light and nice not feeling guilty whatsoever 'cause Spring has hit us not with a fizzle but with a bang! Snow's gone, so are my down moods. 

Dressing up is one of favorite things to do so I've been capturing my outfits every day this week. You might have noticed this if you're following me on Instagram, I'm an insta-junkie so I will never miss a chance to post a picture there.

Pastel purple jeans, 2nd hands
Rose gold watch, ebay

 Oh! And my feet's finally back in my beloved wedges (local shoe store). This makes me so happy, you don't understand. I was stuck in my hideous winter boots for what it seemed like three thousand years. It's like I have my life back together when I'm wearing shoes I love. Speaking of, “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” - Marilyn Monroe.

So these are the shoes I was wearing in every outfit you'll see in this post. Let's move on.

After wearing jeans on Monday, I decided to go through this week wearing comfier clothes than that. The majority of jeans I own are tight and I'm in discomfort most of the time. Whereas dresses are the complete opposite. I own only a few of them and this one I wore on Tuesday must be my favorite. It's H&M, but it's thrifted, oh so much love for such finds! (I of course wore tights with this and a cardigan, it's not that warm you know)

Yes, dresses are comfy, but The Most Comfortable piece of clothing award goes to high waisted shorts. I practically live in those.

Pink cardigan, who the hell knows where's it from, every other store has it
Denim button down, Seppalla
High waisted shorts, Stradivarius
Pink bowtie, ebay
Bright mint belt, Reserved

My favorite outfit of the week! Obviously because it includes a bowtie, also I really need to purchase some more. With pretty patterns this time.

Pastel mint cardigan, Reserved
Chiffon button down, Asos, but via ebay
Black high waisted shorts (with a bow in the front!), 2nd hands
Rose gold watch, ebay

Really love these petals' detail on one side of the cardigan, screams Spring, doesn't it? So this was fun, capturing my outfits everyday. When school seems insufferable, I feel good because of my fun rags, as I said, I really do love dressing up. Now that the Spring has come, I still wouldn't call this week an explosion of pastels or anything, even though I adore them. But each and every outfit has some pastels thrown in as you can tell. I could never leave home without a pop of color! 
...

I will hopefully continue on taking pictures of my outfits in the future. So you should expect such posts coming. I also have planned a nail art tutorial this week, who's excited?!! In the meantime, you should check out the latest and my very first nail art tutorial: Florals & Pastels.

The Twelfth of March

T U E S D A Y ,  M A R C H  1 2

My bedroom painted in beautiful afternoon colors. Was painted. A couple hours ago.

I'm sorry in advance for these weird colors of today's pictures, even though my bedroom was lit so delightfully, I must have picked this strange time of sun setting and my photos turned out quite odd this time..

So yup, as you may have guessed, we're having sunny days here and that puts me in an exceptionally good mood as I've written a while ago - how sunshine affects my days. The only (and the biggest) downside is that sadly, the 4th month of winter is running. It's extremely cold (more than 10 degrees below the zero, crazy right?!) outside and the streets are full of snow and winter boots are kinda ruining my outfits ya know. I keep on wearing pastels and pastels only and I find it super weird putting these boots on everyday. (None of my outfit pictures here has them, so click this.) I can't wait to change these boots into oxfords or wedges or something and my parka into a trench coat. It literally breaks my heart seeing blogger's spring wishlists full of the nicest and lightest clothes... Can't cope with winter anymore!!

My new mint jeans I got last weekend makes me happy and my whole outfit kinda brightened the day. Alrighty, the day needs no brightening as the sun is literally blinding.

BELATED MANI MONDAY

 I made this à la Cath Kidston mani for the second time now and I'm kinda loving it! In fact, I didn't even plan CK mani for this week, this was supposed to be a completely different nail art, but I messed it up last Sunday and wasn't up for a second attempt. So I settled to this design mostly because it's fun to do, well I really like the process. Does it call for a tutorial? *shrugs* who knows! 

I know it's been a week now since I updated the blog, but what keeps me doing this is basically the ideas or some DIYs and recipes. I have a lot whirling in my mind and there's this one kinda sorta maybe DIY that Ill be sharing this week, I still need to get some stuff for that, but it is certainly coming up this week.

Meanwhile, I'll be blogging my days like I just did, lets just hope it interests and entertains (?) you in some kind of way.

BISOUS BISOUS,
