Christmas Advent Calendar DIY

As promised, the Christmas Calendar DIY:P

That is the calendar that I made for my boyfriend this year:)I am really proud of the result and he was really happy about the gesture and my effort I put in it:)

Step 1:

Here are some things you need in order to prepare it:

24 envelopes, different sizes or what I did was to cut the small envelopes in two and have them in half

Some Christmas paper that you can use as a background

White A3 Paper, I put together 4 pieces of A3 paper in order to get the size

I also needed some colorful paper to make it more cheerful 

24 Christmas socks, those ones are textile and I have not bought them but of course you can use whatever you want to draw the numbers

Step 2:

That is the actual process, for me it took time because I have had a lot of classes so I did not have that much time to do it so I use only my evenings but can be done in a day of course.

Step 3:

This step was the most challenging for me as it represents all the presents. I first did not think about how I am going to fit them in my calendar so it was pretty difficult to place all the present at one and the same time. I am putting now every day a present in, or a clue where to find it:)

What can you put in the calendar?

I used different candy of course, games, socks etc. You can get all the inspiration you need, stopping by the local supermarkets etc.

I hope you enjoyed it:)

Christmas has arrived in Denmark

Hello dear ladies:)

How are you? Enjoying the Christmas spirit and the cold weather?
The first real snow has arrived in Denmark, everything is white and so pretty. I spent the day at home enjoying the view from the window and watching the Sunday program on the TV :)

Exam time is so close and I know that I should study and start preparing for them, but it just feels so good to be laze and enjoy myself:):D

I have tried a pretty cool DIY project that I made actually for my boyfriend. It is a Christmas Calendar, from 1-24th December, where he has a small present every day. Stay tuned tomorrow and I am going to show you some pictures.

Now I have prepared my wishlist for Christmas, may be you can get some inspiration.:)

Those items are just a part of a long list that I have sent to my family. To them I have also added vouchers to some of my favorite shops, some things I would like to have in the kitchen and many more:D

What do you think? Have you already prepared your wish list?

kisses and enjoy your Sunday!

Having a great weekend?!

I hope you are. I have had a great Saturday, enjoying some shopping for Christmas presents and of course enjoying myself:)

I have just sent my Christmas Wishlist to all of my family and friends, and they all agreed on one- NO shoes for me as a present under the Christmas tree:( Unfortunately for me, but what can I do! That is the reason why today I decided to treat myself with a beautiful pair of long black boots!

Soon I am gonna post an outfit post with them!

If you have a pair of long boots that you want to share with all of us, just send me an email with a picture you wearing them, your name and your blog address so I make sure the picture refers back to you also!:)

I am looking forward to receiving your mails here:

I wish It would be mine

It was love from first sight!

If I was about to make a list of wishes for Christmas, this jacket would definitely be on the list. 

What do you think about it?

Favorites: Long Boots

I am just 1,65 m tall so I usually do not like to wear boots that go over my knee as it makes me even shorter, but I can see that the trend is still alive and a lot of girls still wear the so trendy long boots to the knee or even over the knee:)

The most common combination I would see is with a simple black dress/ skirt and the very popular oversize pullovers or with skinny jeans. Even if I clearly know that they do not fit my height and make me even smaller, I have to confess that I also have a pair of those gorgeous booties myself and love them a lot.

 Here are some inspiration photos that I found interesting, Enjoy!

What do you think about those booties, do you have a pair of those in your wardrobe?

Enjoy your Friday darlings!

Perls our good little friends

It seems like ages since I posted the last post on the blog. I am very busy at school, a lot of projects and also preparation for exams. Anyways, I really do not want to bore you with that:)

I am going for a birthday party this weekend- one of my best friends is celebrating her  23rd birthday. So in this occasion, me and my boyfriend went shopping last week. I wanted to buy some new accessories also for myself so I found this amazing perls necklace. I totally fell in love with it as I think perls should be a part of every lady's jewelry box. In the end, I did not buy it as my boyfriend said 'you will look like an old lady, only they wear perls'.

It is true that perls were in fashion 20s, 30s and 40s which makes them very retro, but does not at all mean that they are only for old ladies.

Lets not define perls only as evening jewels that fit only special occasions. You can wear little perl earring every day, simple necklaces that you can combine with jeans, shirts and informal events.

What do you think about this post? 

Do you like perls?

Enjoy!

Recap on the autumn break

It was one amazing autumn break, I really enjoyed it! I traveled a bit, I was also busy with work, I had time for shopping and to enjoy myself. It was an intense week full of actions. I also finally got the time to go to the hair dresser and have my hair cut. Right now, my hair is shorter than it has ever been but I would say  love it. It is easier to have it that way as I do not have much time to take care of it right now.

Anyways, I had also  time to get some inspiration and I am currently preparing a DIY tutorial for you, but of course I will break the ice later during the week!

Thanks for all the lovely messages I have received  and I promise I will come back to you as soon as possible:)

I hope you had a lovely weekend!
