Friday's Nail Combo - An old classic

Lincoln Park After Dark from OPI

This is an old classic. I remember quite the raves going on about this nail polish the last two years. I still really like this colour as it looks black from far but when looking closer it is a dark purple and less harsh than black would be.

I am in quite the fall mood at the moment, so my nails kind of match that this weekend.
I am off to the Olympia Beauty show on Sunday and some other shopping which includes definitely checking out the Chanel fall nail polishes (especially Frenzy and Vertigo).

Hope you are all having a nice weekend!

So long...

Toni&Guy HairMeetWardrobe Blogger Event

Technically I am more of a Youtuber than a Blogger but thanks to my lovely friend Kelly (jellyminxthinks) I was invited to the HairMeetWardrobe Blogger Event.
I was never invited to anything (thanks Toni&Guy) so I was more than happy and excited to go.

Toni&Guy wanted us to have fun at this event and try out some new hair styles (from casulal to creative and classic to glamour). A hairstyle always is part of an outfit and so is the makeup. It was a fun night trying out new styles, makeup and clothes and therefore create a whole look.
Check out www.hairmeetwardrobe.com for more info or tweet @hair_wardrobe.

I ask for a wavy elegant hair style that would be easy to create at home. Watch the video below if you want to know how to do it.



Special thanks to Subrina who teached me loads of tips on how to achieve those elegant waves on a daily basis!

The outfit to go with my hair was mainly from Monki (dress and jacket), the bag and belt were my own.
I wanted to create a casual yet elegant weekend kind of outfit I would wear. The lipstick was Rouge d'Armani in 400 and just had the most luxurious feel on the lips.

Thanks to Toni&Guy for inviting me! I had a blast as you can see :)

So long,
