Rebecca Minkoff: Birthday present

My new beauty!

A Rebecca Minkoff bag that I got from my boyfriend. It is the Mini Mac and I already love it. He bought it on the shopbop.com website. The delivery is always amazing with Shopbop!

You also get a sneak peak of my next outfit post! 

Do you like it?

Ombre Nails

I posted a picture on Instagram of my ombre nails (about 3 weeks ago) and you seemed to like it!
I chose the sunrise/sunset look but you can pick other colors. I think Blue and green might look amazing too. A bit of sea on your nails! After posting this I had about 10 min and I just did the green/blue ombre and posted it on instagram. Go check it out! But remember I did it way too fast!

And actually some nail polish removal where you can put a cotton bud into it to clean the edges. You can also use a little paint brush to clean the edges.
BTW I love the Sephora instant nail polish removal. I have had it for about a year and it is still going strong! Which I wouldn't have guessed.

The orange color is Orange you Hot? and the pink one is Hang-ten toes both from China Glaze!

First step:  Put a base coat on your nails and then follow by the color you want through at you nail beds. This should preferably be the lightest color. 

Step two: Take a little card and add a drop of orange and a few drops of pink. Then I took what I had lying around but a bobby pin will do. You then mix the orange and pink a bit. So don't mix it all together, just mix the edges. You will get orange, mix, pink. 

Step three: I took a house hold sponge and cut of a piece. Then take that piece and put it in the nail polish on your card. Don't wait too long because then the polish will try up. Take the sponge and just press it against your nail. The top part should be a little bellow (like 2 mm) from your nail bed. 

Step four: Add a drop or two of the pink nail polish (if needed) and take the sponge and add this to the tips of you nails. You don't have to do this if you already like the result but I like to do it to get a bit more ombre effect!

You can just skip step 2 and 3 if you want and just to the last part. This worked too for me but it was just a little less flashy ombre. 

If you want to use more than two colors this might be the way to go. Just put color 1 on the entire nail. Take color 2 and put it on a sponge and press it on you nails from a little under the nail bed. And take color 3 and put it on the sponge and use it a bit under color 2.

Last step: add a top coat. I love the seche vite one!

If you messed up a bit you can use the nail polish remover but to be honest this is pretty much mess free!

The finished look! 

I'm in no way a nail polish expert and this little post is my first "tutorial" so if it just isn't clear enough let me know! You can ask questions if you don't get any part of this!

Feeling not so blue!

So that's why I put the first picture in black and white! 

But this outfit is blue, blue, blue! This is actually what I wore on my birthday (which is already a week ago! damn time flies!). It is another casual outfit. Are you getting sick of those yet? But I wanted to wear something easy as we were going to the seaside. That means: walking, eating and shopping! So comfy was the way to go. However, comfy doesn't mean sweats in my book. I wore this silk Massimo Dutti top I bought in Madrid and I really like it but I learned that it doesn't work to well with a cardigan on top because the fabric then rises up and you get a bit of excess fabric around the neck. And as you can see silk does creases pretty fast!

The second bracelet (from the top) is from Just Julia! The others I got as a present from my aunt so I don't know where they are from.

Top and cardigan: Massimo Dutti, Pants: Abercrombie and fitch, Shoes: Converse, Bracelet: Just Julia, ring: Tiffany and co, glasses: Armani (Since quite a few have asked).

The turning 23 post got such goods responds I'm thinking about doing a bit more of those personal posts. There were a lot of questions about me moving to LA. Would you want an entire post on that subject? Let me know!!

Happy weekend guys! Hope you have a good one.

Xoxo,

Natasha

A quicky new post!

This was another location on or location spotting list. I actually really fell in love with this one. Especially the park surrounding it and not so much the indoor part. So we wanted to rent a big tent but we are probably just going to pick a location where there is a gorgeous in and outdoor part. Because lets be honest a tent means that there should be extra restrooms also outdoor, an outdoor kitchen for the catering,...

So just do damn difficult (and expensive!). But it is a beautiful location!

Dress: American Today, Cardigan: Banana republic (great for some basics), shoes: zara

Simplicity with leather details

Last week we went to another location for the wedding that might be the one!

If you are getting sick of me talking about it, just shout! 

So you are getting a sneak peek of it here. If we decide to go this way then you will get to see this beauty entirely!
