The Try Outs Part I… New Skincare - Clease & tone!

Since the start of this new year (which seems like yesterday, but is actually ages ago), I have been trying out some new bits in the skincare area, as my skin wasn't really looking and feeling its best.

I haven't changed out my whole routine and many of my core products are still the same (you can see me skincare routine here and here), I just tried out and added in some new products here and there to help improve the condition of my skin.

Some I loved and some I liked, but will leave once they are finished.

For this Part I, I will share three cleansing products and a "toner" - for Part II (coming up soon) I will do the serums and moisture products.

Simple n' Layerered… S/S 17 Style Inspiration - The Jewellery!

Now that we are close to hitting summer - actually very summer-like weather are upon us in Denmark these days, I have now made it to the last instalment of my S/S 17 style inspiration series.

This time I'm looking at the jewellery and as with some of the others, I return classics - simple silver and gold jewellery.

So I will (for the most part) stray away from statement jewellery and keep it simple, but mixing it up by layering them and mixing metals. 

For these simple good quality pieces, but still at affordable prices, my go-to are & Other Stories and COS.

However ASOS also do have a great range of sterling silver jewellery worth checking out, but for this selection, I kept to the two above.

I'm in love with the coco… Inspiration - Coconut Appreciation!

I love coconut - not particular for consumption, but for the beauty effect.

After the benefits of coconut oil were "revealed" a few years ago, coconut have made its way into the beauty world in quite a way.

And it gets me every time, I see a new beauty product with the word coconut on it.

Not only does coconut products tend to smell amazing, coconut oil have proven to have great effects on especially my hair.

I thought, I would share with you some of the coconut products, I have in rotation at the moment.

Sling It… S/S 17 Style Inspiration - The shoe!

For the most part I wear either boots or sneakers all year round, but for this coming season I'm have my eye on an old classic, I see coming back around time and time again - the slingback shoe.

As with many of my other picks for this little series, they can be worn both casual with jeans/shorts and a tee or be the perfect pairing with a dress or a nice trouser and top for a formal work look or night out.

By my side… What I have on my bedside table!

I love my bed - for sleep, relaxation and casual hanging out.

Many other people might stack books on their bedside table, but on mine is a small selection of products, I feel is very relevant to the bed area.

Tassel Task… Inspiration - Easy DIY Simple Tassel Earrings!

I taking a little break from my S/S 17 trends and throwing in a little easy DYI for another (mini)trend for this season - tassel earrings.

I have been looking for a simple pair of tassel earrings at an affordable price for a while, but all the ones I could find had a lot of "extras" and were far from simple.

So in the end I decided to make my own and the result was exactly, what I wanted.

Put a dot on it… Nail Inspiration - Dot Manicures!

Spring is most officially here and somehow the lighter days and warmer weather always make me want to a bit extra with my nails.

Every nail-lover with respect for themselves need some dotting tools in their manicure set - this is the absolute easiest way to create an interesting manicure without the need for a huge amount of creative talents.

I got mine very cheap from eBay years ago and I often bring them out.

But a dot is not just a dot and the possibilities are many - here I will share my three favourite ways of doing a dot manicure.

The simple - One dot

Show Some Ankle… S/S 17 Style Inspiration - The Trouser!

So now we made it to the fourth instalment of my Spring/Summer Style Inspiration Series - and in this one we will be looking at the trouser style, I think will be the one to go for the coming seasons.

It is not a new one - we have seen the culotte/cropped wide leg trouser in many forms the past few years, but I haven't really gotten into until now.

It also seem that the high street (especially Zara) have thrown their love on this style this season.

So there is lots colours, shapes and materials to choose from - I have collected some of my favourites for inspiration.

Done Right… Inspiration - & Other Stories Beauty Favourites!

Ever since I first sat foot in the Copenhagen & Other Stories Store four years ago, I have been in love with their beauty range, especially the bath and body stuff.

Their packaging is amazing and sleek and I love the colours they use, they go so well in my bathroom.

Additional they are gentle on my sensitive skin and the price-range is very good as well, especially as you can get 10 % of, when you bring back old containers.

I have found some firm favourites in the line, both in terms of scents and products, and I thought, I would share them with you.

Return of a Classic… S/S 17 Style Inspiration: The Jacket!

My pick for a spring jacket is probably a bit controversial - partly because a blazer is a classic staple piece in most wardrobes, but also because compared to the other trends, I am featuring, this really doesn't seem to be one, where the high street agrees with me.

However after quite a break, I will be bringing out my black blazer once again, and I have seen that a lot of bloggers are leaning towards this more structured jacket as well.

Despite the fact, that the high street (in my opinion) haven't really caught up with the return of the blazer idea, I still managed to find a few good ones - but I really hope, that I will be right and that the high street will bring out a larger range in the coming months.
