EGOutfit: Eye of the Tiger!

Hi Egos, raise your hand if you sang that title in your head :D I really couldn't help using it for this particular outfit :D

I was out again and was having one of those bad hair, dont-even-talk-to-me days and needed a look that was a statement in itself. For me the Print says "I'm dangerous", the leather jacket says "I'm not a nice girl" and keeping it black'n'grey is telling people that I'm not in a good mood. ;-)

But let's get to the pictures first, shall we?

EGOutfit: Autumn's Fairytale!

Hi Egos, autumn kind of acts like me. Hot in one moment and cold in the next :D This past week was super cold and I wore my entire scarf collection but then all of a sudden we got a sunny and warm day. What better way to enjoy such weather than to take a stroll and do an outfit post?

EGOtorial: Recreating Magic Hair - Backwards!

Hi Egos! I recently got my hair and make-up done for a project that I might be able to share later on. Both were so amazing that I took as many photos as possible in order to recreate the looks later.

I haven't really tried that many hair styles but I've been very interested in all kinds of hair styles that I want to try and probable will. I'm so bad at braiding though that I definitely need to practice some more before I can share it with you :D

But let's get to the hairy part!

The hair dresser did this incredible bun! Can you believe it? Might be pretty easy for you but to me this seems like magic!

So how did she do that? I very slowly untangled my hair and took photos in the process to show you the principle she worked with.

There is a hole in my heart!

Hi Egos, my desire for something has become too strong so I have to share it with you guys. I'm paying a lot of attention to fashion trends. Always looking for a look that suits my style. I try to keep a good balance between the bad side effects of looking fashionable (Don't give me that "you can be comfortable anyways"-talk. My style doesn't include a jogging suit and sneakers). I love heels but get blisters. I love certain pieces of clothing even though they might not be compatible with the weather outside. To a certain point I can ignore these risks to my health but then there needs to be a time to give my body some rest.

So for almost two months I have been staying away from nail polish because my nails started splitting and I didn't want to loose my nails altogether. However I can tell you that it hasn't been easy. Sometimes there is this one colour that would take your outfit to the next level. I still want to wait a bit longer until the damaged nail have been replaced. But it's so haaaaaard T_T

Instead I shall share my nail polish collection with you guys in hopes of calming my longing heart! :-D

 

 

So these are the colours that I have. My sister and I have been collecting them for years and there are a lot that I left out because we don't use them anymore. I think that there are a couple of nail polishes that are lost in some bag as well. For some reason I seem to loose them just like bobby pins, hair ties, eye liner etc.you know what I'm talking about. :D

These are my most favourite ones! I love painting my nails in two different colours. I am not a big fan of  gel nails or nails with accessories on them. I keep it simple and single-coloured on one finger with no more than two colours on one hand like this:

I can't wait to put on some nail polish again. It's very likely that I will show off my nails next weeks with a matching outfit. They seem quite healthy to me by now and if I can find a better hand creme that takes care of my nails in addition to a top coat I might not have to worry about my nails ever again :D

GLOSSYBOX: Gift yourself each month!

Just before christmas I decided to get myself a subscription to the Glossybox. I wanted one because you get to try out cool new products each  month that might not even be available in your country. When the first one arrived in December I was head over heels. From the package to the carton and even to the stuffing, everything was coloured in a matching scheme. The products were awesome as well. Since Christmas and New Year's Eve were just around the corner they put in false lashes as an addition to their regular 5 products. How that turned out shall be saved for another post. :-D

So now I want to show you what I got this month! As we all know -whether we are in a relationship or just awesomely single- this month is dominated by Valentines Day (Valentinstag in German). I expected that there would be some lovey-dovey themed packaging and products involved. Let's see just how right I was about that part:

Let's have a closer look on the products. They put in this gorgeous in "Dusk Lipstick Striptease Gloss"  by Model Co. Everyone who considers subscibing to this monthly package full of luxury should definitely answer those questions about your skin tone and hair colour because they will take that into consideration when putting together your products. Then there is the Bamboo Plumping strand expand which is a voluminizing product for your hair, followed by Dr Bronners Magic Soap. This magical soap is a body lotion that is entirely made of organic ingredients. Next is the Être Belle Cosmetics Hydro mask. No need to explain that I guess. :-D Lastly we have this incredible perfume called Womanly by Thierry Mugler. The flacon is so amazing that I probably would put it on even if it stank really bad.

I only made a 3-month subscription to see if the contents of the Glossybox were worth it. However my experience durinng the last months is entirely positive so I will prolong it for another 6 months. In the end the best part about this package is that it feels like christmas each month. The suspense and the value of the products make you await the next month even more!

EGOutfit: Brown, Leather, Studs

Hi Egos,

I noticed that I've been talking quite a bit about drinks and food in general. Since this blog isn't just about food let's get back to the roots.

I was running around town with my twin sister today and dressed up as usual. I tend to put in more effort in the way I dress in my free time than when I go to work. Since it's still winter I can't go as crazy as I would in the summer time.

I've added a little of my mood today in presenting this outfit for you guys. As you can see I felt a little dorky :-P

I bought this dress last year already. I just love the leather elements it has on the collar. It has no sleeves so I paired it up with this black cardigan. Taking the look to the next level I added this black studded belt that actually belongs to my sister. Sharing your clothes is most definitely a big pro to having a sister your own age. Thinking of the cold outside I put on a pair of thick black tights and slipped into these black ankle boots that have spikes the same colour as those of the belt. Clever right? :D

Make-up wise I didn't do much. I am a huuuuuge believer in natural beauty and keeping it simple. You should enhance what you were born with and always be your best self. I kept the eyeliner to the roots of my lashes and put on my incredible Chanel mascara. The Lipstick is called Raspberry Sorbet by Isa Dora. It's part of their Jelly Kiss line and keeps the lips from drying out.

And that's it! A simply yet casual outfit for running errands. ;-)

How do you dress when it gets a lil too cold outside?
