You know how much I love burgundy in winter, and you might have also noticed that I’m slowly trying to expand my outerwear collection for the past few years. So a few weeks ago, I started searching for a new coat, and I found this beautiful burgundy one at Spartoo.gr. It’s from Benetton, and I bought it at 20% off. I got mine at size FR38 (IT42). I was going to size up, to be able to wear thick sweaters under it, but the site said to size down, so I got the 38. I love its color and fit, but it is way thinner than I had anticipated. It is really beautiful though, and I think it looks good on me, so I’d definitely be keeping it. Even though it’s more on the violet side of burgundy, I paired it with my burgundy bag and sweater, and my favorite over-the-knee velvet boots. I loved the look, and I’m glad we were able to photograph it that day, because a lot has happened in my life since then, and that’s why I had to take a week off blogging. I’m back now though, and I’d be posting regularly from now on. Hope you like this look!

Kat von D Alchemist Holographic palette review
The Kat von D Alchemist Holographic palette is one of the most beautiful palettes I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning. It has a gorgeous holographic packaging, the palette itself is triangle-shaped, and it has 4 pastel-colored highlighting powders in it. “Emerald” has a green hue, “Saphyre” has a blue hue, “Amethyst” has a violet hue, and “opal” has a pink hue. They’re all holographic and very pretty and all highly-pigmented. A light touch of your brush on them is going to give you extreme glow. That’s even good or bad, depending on how you’re doing your makeup and how much glow you want for it. For me, it’s definitely too much for everyday, so I’m keeping it for very special occasions. My favorite hue is definitely Opal, because it’s the most discreet one, that might give you a more natural glow. Mind you though, there’s nothing natural about these highlighters; the result is gonna be intense. Another thing I didn’t love about this palette, is the size of the pans. They’re tiny, like eyeshadow ones, so if you’re using them a lot, it’s gonna hit pan fast. That compared to the price of the palette is a bit discouraging. But if you love the colors and you love your bold highlighters, go for it. 😉

7 years of blogging | Outfits
Oh my, 7 years of blogging, how fast the time went by? It feels like yesterday that I started this little blog of mine. I couldn’t celebrate my blog’s birthday in another way than an outfit post, could I? Here it is, and a festive outfit post I might add. With a balloon and everything. haha This year we decided against a bigger helium-filled balloon, because it was a total fail, ’cause the helium made the balloon look deflated in last year’s photos, because of the cold weather and we didn’t want to repeat that. So here’s a smaller and cuter one instead. I built the whole outfit around burgundy color, and I really loved how it turned out. It looked even better in real life believe me! I’m definitely going to wear it again for a night out with friends or the boyfriend.

CND Glacial Illusion Collection
The new Glacial Illusion collection of CND for Winter 2018, is full of icy-cool shades, which I personally adore. It includes 6 colors, as always, with names such as “Ice Bar”, “Cashmere Wrap”, “Radiant Chill”, “Alpine Plum”, “Mystic Slate” and “Winter Nights”. “Ice Bar” is a shimmery translucent pink, “Cashmere Wrap” is a nice pink/beige, “Radiant Chill” may look copper but it actually has rose gold hues, and gives a nice mirror effect, “Alpine Plum” is an icy lilac shade (which I’d love to add to my collection), “Mystic Slate” is icy grey/blue, and last but not least, “Winter Nights” is a nice deep night blue. The last one gives a pop of bold color to the whole collection and makes a nice combination with practically any color of Glacial Illusion. As you can see from the photo above, I received the colors “Winter Nights”, “Radiant Chill” and “Cashmere Wrap” of the collection, along with their famous top coat which I love. They’re all very pretty, but I personally loved Radiant Chill which I’m currently wearing on my nails.

All that glitters | Outfits
Fresh new outfit post, from yesterday morning! It may seem simple and casual, but look at those booties; you can’t really tell from these photos, but they are glittery. They are so pretty and shiny up close, without being too extravagant for my taste. I wore these on Christmas day with the skirt from the previous post, and it really made it feel more festive. My blog anniversary is coming next week, and I have an even better outfit post planned, but for now I leave you with these photos and this kind of casual look. Hope you like it babes!
