November has gone by way too fast for my liking! In the months leading up to December (Christmas, snow and family time) I never feel useful :D I spend most of my time inside (as outside is WAY to windy for me) and read.
In preparation of my November favourites, I had a hard time deciding if I wanted it to be a 'fashion' one or an 'all in one' favourites. I decided on the last one to give you the most complete look on what I have been loving last month.
So without further ado, here are my November favourites!
Eyelash-curler by Primark
Ever since I have started using eyelash-curlers, I have been using one from Hema. I wasn't really loving it, and it would be ready for replacement after a month... As I was strolling through Primark a while ago, I decided to just give it a go. For only
€ 1,50 it was worth a try.. (the one I was using was €4,95)
I have been using this curler for two months now, and I absolutely love it! You do not need a lot of strength to get a good result, whereas my old one needed a few firm pushes to get the slightest result. I close the curler for 20 seconds, apply mascara right after and it will stay put all day :)
Black nailpolish by Maybelline
To me, wearing black nailpolish is not only for darker weather. I find myself wearing it throughout the year to finish an outfit or if I don't like my (too short) nails.
In the winter months, I try to stay away from it as much as possible. I think black can give you a bit of a down feeling when the weather is not really 'fun' either. But... I have to admit that I still enjoy wearing this particular black. It's a shiny black, and the shimmer it has when applied, gives it a bit more sparkle than other black nailpolishes.
I combine wearing this polish with a darker blue or a bright colour on one of my fingers.
Blue cardigan by Primark
Trying to find a brighter colour when shopping for winter seemed like a good idea. That was until I actually went out and started looking for it. I bought this cardigan before the winter started, but looking for a bright colour was getting tough. Working in a clothing store, the comment I get most these days is 'Do you have any colour? All I see is dark red, black and brown' Which is true. I have been wearing this on days where it's really dark outside, just to brighten up my own day a bit by seeing colour.
Knit headband by Pieces (ONLY)
I am not the biggest fan of the cold temperatures (even though I love fall)... I do love accessories though! A few years ago these headbands were a trend, and I ordered a few of them on-line. Not having to go anywhere by bike, I didn't really use them and just wore them around the house :)
Having a job 20 minutes away by bike changed that. Whenever I have to go to work now, I pop one on my head and it keeps me nice and warm!
Chestnut Ugg boots by UGGs Australia
Living in The Netherlands, winters can be quite cold. When my feet experience cold temperatures, my toes will swell and feel like they are on fire. It's called 'wintertoes'. Unfortunately, this runs in my family and it was given to me as well. You can prevent this by wearing shoes with a rubber sole. I am aware that they are not be most beautiful shoes out there, but they are super warm and comfortable. Which is the only reason I bought them. (I want you to know that I had bought them before all the horror videos were showed about the way the sheep are treated!) As you can see on the picture, they are not brand new anymore. This will be the second or third winter I am wearing them :)
What is your favourite thing from last month?
Love, Danielle
