Fashion, Beauty & Random Favorites April 2014

It's time for monthly favorites! This time they are a little more random but I hope you still enjoy <3 

H&M Black Faux Leather Jacket 

I cannot believe that there was a time when I owned no black clothing at all. I have been wearing the jacket so much in the last month and generally just wore a lot of black. Black and white striped t-shirts, black bags, blag shoes - all of it in black. 

 Catrice Glamour Doll Mascara

I like the effect this mascara gives to my lashes. It separates my lashes really well and keeps my lashes looking good throughout the day - especially in combination with the next product.

 essence bloom me up! Limited Edition eyelash curler 01 lovely lavender

I have not mastered curling my eyelashes yet but I have been trying hard this month! Of course the color of the limited edition eyelash curler is simply lovely but it actually works pretty well, too :P

 ebelin face massaging brush

I am still at war with my skin but this has been helping a lot! I never found a face scrub that actually worked for my skin. This is a great alternative to scrubbing your face. It helps clear up my skin and does not dry out my skin like most face scrubs do.

Maybelline Super Stay Forever Strong 7 Days Gel Nail Color 76 French Manicure

I have been all about nude nails lately. I look at other people and love their spring colored nails and totally fall in love with it  - but when I get home I don't reach for the light lavender, pastel pink or baby blue - no, I put on nude polish again. I simply cannot help it!

Cupper Liquorice & Spearmint Infusion

Just take a second an admire these gorgeous packaging. Have you ever seen pretty tea like this? The box looks great from every perspective - even the ingredients list is cute. When I use this up (which will happen sooner than later) I will make sure not throw the box away but actually cut it apart and put it up somewhere in my kitchen. I am a little liquorice crazy - it is my favorite ingredients in tea and what is the best combination with that? - Mint! I am loving it. In addition to that it is a Fair Trade product which makes it even better.

Ed Sheeran - Sing

Ok, so don't drink and smoke kids! I might not support everything said in this song but nevertheless I have been listening to this all the time singing along terribly off-key dancing through the apartment. Ed Sheeran simply has an amazing voice and I am currently trying to convince my friend to go see him in concert in November.

These were my favorites of the month of April 2014. What were your favorites? Any recommendations?

H&M Basics HAUL

I just passed an exam that I was terrified to take and had to celebrate that. And how do I like to celebrate? Yeah, I went out with my girlfriends and had ice cream for lunch but I also went a little shopping crazy.  hardly ever buy things that are not on sale but this time none of the items I got were on sale.

Blue Jeans - 9.95 Euro
I already own a pair of the exact same jeans. I guess I'm kind of picky with my pants. I' don't like the used look, I don't want any patterns on the pockets and I want them to be (and stay) a dark blue color. These are the perfect jeans or me! I have had similar pants to these that were more expensive but these are the ones that last me the longest and the color doesn't fade that quickly plus the button is a nice color, too (not a shiny gold or silver, because I don't like that either).

White Blouse - 19.95 Euro
I have wanted one of those for forever! I love this one, because it is not too sheer, it has the perfect length and it does not have a collar.

Black Sandals- 9.95 Euro
These are super simple, faux leather, flat sandals that are another basic like the blouse that I somehow never bought before. I feel like this is a very basic haul :P

Brown Faux Leather Bag - 14.95 Euro
I am in love with this bag! It is so simple and small and cute. The size is perfect for when I don't really have to take anything but some money and my phone. I only own small bags for going out at night but I had none for everyday use. It just feels a little stupid to carry a big bag that I usually take to uni when all I do is go grocery shopping. I will use this a lot.

How do you celebrate passing an important exam? Where do you buy your basics?

New In: Leather Jacket - H&M Sale

I went into town looking for something completely different - but of course I did not just buy that. I went into H&M and the sale section was exceptionally small. I did not find anything I liked but one thing: a black leather jacket! I consider that a basic in everyone's closet but I never owned one myself. I just never really found one that I liked and that did not bust my wallet. This faux leather jacket is exactly what I was looking for! It was originally 39.95 Euro and I got it for 50% off. I love the length, the cut and the details on the shoulders.

My style is usually more on the girly, maybe sporty or romantic side but definitely not on the rocker side. The look that I had in mind was "Cara Delevingne for Burberry" (even though I know I will never look like her ;) ). I love Burberry leather jackets but of course those are way above my price range. The only problem I had was - doe it look like a costume on me because it is so out of my comfort zone? I was so unsure I asked cashier twice for how long I could return it.

Now I am not worried about that anymore  and why is that? - YouTube! Allie Evans wore this exact jacket for seventeen magazine not only once but twice! Ha, I feel so chic <3

Another thing I really liked was this dress but I always hesitate to buy things for the regular price - I hardly ever do that. Sometimes I regret that because not everything is still available when I go back to look for it in the sale. I am not sure whether I should pay another visit to H&M and just get it. I really liked it.

Did you get anything from the H&M sale? Do you own a black leather jacket? Would you consider that a basic?

BIG H&M SALE HAUL - Part I - Schuhe!

Ich habe bei H&M online bestellt! - Jedoch viel zu viel :P

Ich werde nicht viel von dem Bestellten behalten, denn vieles gefällt mir / passt mir nicht so, wie ich es mir vorgestellt hatte. Trotzdem wollte ich euch einmal alles zeigen, was ich in meinen Warenkorb gewandert ist.

Die Schuhe kosten im Sale gerade noch 20 Euro und ich werde sie wieder zurück schicken :/
Sie sind wirklich super hoch, aber dafür noch relativ bequem. Was mir hier nicht gefällt ist wirklich der Look. Die Form ("eckig") sieht am Fuß einfach merkwürdig aus und der Schuh tut trotz des dicken Absatzes nicht, was ich mir vorgestellt hatte: er macht wirklich unvorteilhaft "dicke" Beine :(

Ich weiß wirklich nicht, was ich tun soll :( Der Schuh ist wirklich wunderschön - die Farbe und die Höhe - aber die Spitze? Beim ersten Blick gefällt sie mir, beim zweiten nicht und beim dritten dann doch wieder. Sie kosten nur noch 7Euro - aber 7Euro für einen Schuh den ich nicht trage ist dann eben doch zu viel. Hmpf.

Würdet ihr ihn behalten?

Ich liebe sie! - Aus dem gesamten Haul sind dies wohl meine Lieblinge, aber auch sie werde ich nicht behalten, denn sie sind mir einfach viel zu klein :( Ich kann mich zwar gerade so hineinzwängen, aber wirklich ertragbar ist es nicht.

Dieses Paar weder ich wohl behalten. Einziges Manko: meinem Freund gefallen sie gar nicht :(
Ich finde sie wirklich hübsch. Vom Style her wohl eher Spätsommer oder früher Herbst, aber für 5Euro kann ich sie auch jetzt schon kaufen :P


Dies ist der erste Teil meines Haul, es folgt noch ein zweiter Fashion Part, den ich hier verlinken werde, sobald er online geht.

Bis zum nächsten mal,

   Myra <3


PS.: Ignoriert einfach meine schmutzigen Fensterscheiben im Hintergrund :P

Armcandy!

So ist das eben wenn ich neue Sachen habe - ich muss gleich einmal ein wenig damit herumspielen!
Die Uhr ist leider das einzige, was noch zu bekommen ist :/
Der Armreif ist aus Krakau, das Armband aus Capri und das Armband ganz rechts ist schon ein paar Jahre alt und von H&M.

Ich würde die Uhr auch solo tragen, aber ein bisschen werde ich auch mit verschiedenen Kombinationen experimentieren <3
