Collective Haul! °2

Hello everyone!

After a long nerve-wracking week with 4 written exams for my school leaving examination, I´m finally back with a collective haul!

Basically, I found vintage pieces in my favourite local thrift stores and some jewelry.

First, I went to H&M to buy a golden chunky necklace for my graduation ceremony outfit. I found this one and I really love it. I paid 15€ for it!

For my exams, I got this as a lucky charm. It´s a beautiful brooch from a fleamarket!

On Saturday, I went to the fleamarket in my town and I found those awesome platform heels there! They fit great and I only had to pay 3€ for them!

I got this flowery blue blouse from my favourite local thrift store for only 3€. I love the detaling!

  

I got this grey semi-transparent blouse there, too. I love the pattern and its fit. I also paid 3€.

Last week, my grandma gave me this silver glittery turtleneck pullover with short sleeves.She found it in her closet and thought it will fit me well. Right!

On Saturday, I went to another thrift store and found this awesome patterned short sleeve blouse. I love the details and its fit. I only paid 5€!

For 5€, I also found this shirt with flowery prints on it. I think the colours are great and perfect for spring/summer!

But, the biggest bargain and treasure is this light blue blazer jacket. It´s a real "Hermes Paris" one as the label on it says. I researched a little bit in the internet and I´m right! I don´t know its original price but I think that it was more than 1000€! I only paid 25€!!

Today, I went to a book shop to find some bargains because this store will close soon. I found this book with a lot of photographs and explanations about architecture from the ancient rome to the modern. I only paid 1€! (30€)

 Hope you´d enjoyed my haul!

In a little while, I meet up with my grandma to go to a little cafe because I haven´t any school this week!

Have a great day!

Collective Haul!

Hello everyone!

I´m finally back with a collective haul! I purchased those things in the last few weeks and I hope you´ll like them!

Recently, I´m really busy with learning for my A-levels next week!! I can´t believe that those exams are that close!..

Yesterday, I went to my favorite local secondhand shop. There, I found a few awesome things!

I always dig into the huge boxes with silken carrés to find some awesome cloths. This time I made an gorgeous find because I found a "real" Hèrmes carré! The label on it shows the orginality but I can´t believe that it is a real one. I love it anyway because I only paid 1€ for it!

I also found this cute little shoulder bag which is perfect for spring/summer. I love the burgundy colour an its used look. I paid 1.50€ for it!

Another great bargain is this huge clutch-like bag. I really like the minimalistic design and I think it´s perfect for summer. It had only cost 2€!

Finally, my ordered DVD arrived! I simply love this movie and if you are interested, you can read through the summary here! This DVD is a special edition with 24 pages of background informations. 

Since several weeks, I use this "alverde" foundation in "10 light beige". It´s quit of chemical ingredients and is only based on natural substances. It had cost around 3€.

Last week, I went to H&M to look through their new collection. There, I bought this floral patterned blouse which I really like. I´m excited to wear it in spring/summer! I paid 20€ for it!

 I also bought those light beige-grey pants which fit really awesome. Last year I bought them in black and I loved them! They had only cost around 15€!

Last but not least, I went to "Deichmann" to search for some simple black pumps! I love the chunky heel and its fit! They look awesome to my "Versace for H&M"- dress which I´m going to wear on my graduation!

I paid 25€ for them!

Hope you´d enjoyed this haul!

Have a great weekend!

Love, Julia ♥

Book Review: "Vintage Fashion - Collecting and Wearing Designer Classics 1900-1990"

 Hello everyone!

Recently, I´m really busy with learning for my "A levels"! I´m so excited because they will start in only a month! I hope evrything will be fine!

Today, I have a little book review for you! I actually also wanted to show you another book and a DVD but I havn´t received them yet. I ordered them on the internet and there are some delivery problems.

The book I´m going present is about the fashion and the styles from the past century, from 1900 to 1990.

The pictures and the illustrations show typical shapes, colours, fabrics or pattern from each decade. The annexed texts explain each chapter very detailed and articulately.

 I took some pictures from the interior to show you some details!

The last thing I´m going to show you is this awesome nailpolish! I bought it from the new Catrice collection and it´s called "Genious In The Bottle". It´s a mixture between gold, green and blue and this changing colour reminds me a lot of the Chanel "531 Peridot" from their latest make-up collection! This one is much cheaper (around 3€) and looks exactly like the Chanel one, I think!

Hope you´d liked this review and I wish you all a great start into the new week!

Love, Julia ♥

Collective Fashion & Beauty Haul!

Hello everyone!

 Today, I have a collective fashion haul for you!

I bought this acquirements within some weeks. They contain my online order from H&M and some bargains from my shopping tour in Strasbourg, France!

Hope you´ll like the things I got!

First, I got these cute black shorts from H&M! I love the light fabric and the wearing comfort! I really like them because they aren´t that short and they are perfect for hot summer days! Last year, I already bought the same shorts in a beige and in a caramel colour! I got these black ones in sale for 10€ (20€)!

From H&M, I also got these awesome platform sandals! I really like the colour combination and the wearing comfort! They fit me perfectly and I got them in sale for 20€ (40€)!

One of my biggest bargains is that "Versace for H&M"- dress! I was shocked as I saw that H&M still sells some of the Versace pieces because I thought that everything is sold out after some hours! Fortunately, there was one dress left which was my size! I love this dress and I possibly will wear this on my graduation ceremony in June! I got this dress in sale for 60€ (130€)!!

For 3€ (4€), I got this golden wire ring with a jade-coloured stone on it! I love the colour and the design of this ring! The nailpolish I wear will be presented below!

The last H&M pieces I got are those gorgeous earrings! They remind me of some retro vintage ones from the 70s! I got them for 5€!

The next few things are from my Strasbourg tip with my mum on the weekend!

First, I got this secondhand shop purse! I really love the unique look and the possibility to wear it in two different ways! I only paid 5€!

In a KIKO store, I bought this beautiful matt finished burgundy red lipstick. It lasts really long and is very moisturising although it´s a matt one! I paid only 2€.

I also got this awesome pastel green nailpolish by KIKO. It´s caled "349 Light Olive Green" and I paid only 1.50€ for it!

In sale, I got these two awesome liquid liner in a golden and in a bronze colour! It´s a great alternative to black ones and they are awesome for special eye make-ups! Each of them only cost 1.80€!

The last thing I got is this cool bracelet from COS. I went to this shop for the first time and I really liked their clothes and accesoires! Because there is sale, I got this bronze metal bracelet for 6€ (12€)!

Hope you enjoyed my haul!

One of the next post will be another haul with books and dvd´s I got from a book store!

Have a nice evening and a good night!

Love, Julia ♥

FOTW(eek) & Sushi Experiences!

Hello everyone!

Today, I had a free afternoon, so I decided to make some sushi!

I never tried this before, but the result was soo delicious!

 For preparing, I used the "Sushi Starter Kit" I got as Christmas present. It included sushi rice, rice vinegar, roasted seaweed, wasabi, gari (ginger), soy sauce and a bamboo mat.

First, I prepared the sushi rice! You can look up a recipe in the internet to know how it should be made!

After cooking, the rice had to cool down and in the meantime, I prepared the other ingredients!

The result looks kind of delicious and it tasted really good!

For filling, I used carrot, cucumber, avocado, paprika, tamago (egg) and mayonnaise!

I also have a FOTD for you today ! Well, it´s rather a FOTW(eek) because I wore it at the beginning of the week!

I used some colours to brighten up the darkness and coldness outside! Hope you´ll like it!
