For my lacquered tips at the moment I've chosen this combination: Essie's Chinchilly and Butter London's No More Waity, Katie. Chinchilly is a granite gray shade without any shimmer or sparkle. Very elegant, very autumn and I think it looks quite nice with my light skin tone. I often wear this shade alone but sometimes I like to spruce it up a bit....
Yummy, yum, yum - I've really gotten into this whole "juice" trend. I'm sure everyone and their mother knows what I'm talking about. Seems like everyone has tried out juicing, either buying juices at the shops or making the juice themselves. Some have stuck to it, and some, well, haven't. I started getting into juicing when I discovered this juice shop we have...
OK, I just wanted to quickly share this Tumblr which I discovered through a friend on Facebook the other day and since then I've gone through each and every post and it's freakin' HILARIOUS! It's called WHATSHOULDASIACALLME and it's run by a girl or a few friends maybe? And the title description on the Tumblr page reads "What happens when you put a...
Yes, it was necessary that I write the word "obsessing" in the title, not just plain old "loving", because I've been listening to these tunes over and over and over! I'm sure you've heard these songs already, but maybe you haven't so here's a few songs I've really really been enjoying lately :) Ellie Goulding - Burn (my FAVE at the moment...) Lorde...
I have to say, I'm really into the colored / patterned pants trend for this fall. I've stocked up on a few pairs from H&M so far. What I love about them is that they go with basically anything so you don't have to worry about choosing specific tops/sweaters etc. but they're much more interesting than a regular pair of jeans. So they...
Attention, attention! Butter London nail lacquers (as they so sophisticatedly call them) have FINALLY touched ground in Switzerland! Woo woo! (doin' the "raise the roof" dance, oh ya) Well, I don't know if I'm the only person that got really excited by this, but I've just heard so much about these polishes online that I've been dying to try them. And they have...
Hi everyone! I've done something quite unorganized but it was a must - I needed a change and I'm kind of forced into it anyways. My original blog "Michelle in a Nutshell" was registered under its own domain. I had paid a discounted price for a year of hosting that domain in the beginning of 2013, so soon that year will be up....
Well hey there! Long time no talk :) I've been quite M.I.A., yes, but I suddenly felt the need for a blog post today since there's so much talk about fall fashion. Some of the trends according to glamour.com: winter whites, classic patterns, over-the-knee boots, turtlenucks (ew), shades of green, slouchy pants, statement outerwear, folk-inspired pieces (huh?) and rounded shoulders. Here are some...
Hi guys! In June of this year I participated in a photography challenge called the "30 Day Snap" which Louise from Sprinkle of Glitter created. The challenge rules were quite simple: upload one photo a day in the month of June - that's it. I really wanted to participate in this challenge because I thought it'd be fun to capture the little things...
Hola! Thought I'd share my nails with you guys today :) The very loved and well-known Tart Deco by Essie. Very coral, very summer, very cute! And I added one round glitter piece to each nail to make it a bit more fun (and sometimes I just can't leave my nails alone without adding just a lil somethin somethin...). I used the glitter...
(Credit for background of image above: HQ PaperMaker; edited myself) A million thanks to Jess from Jess Classy for nominating me for the Liebster Blog Award! She is the cutest thing - definitely go ahead and check out her blog. So this is how the Liebster Blog Award works (text stolen from Jess' blog): Once you get nominated you write a post on...
