Just snapped this pic before I left: I barely wore any make-up, just a hint of Benefit's "Sugarbomb" on my cheek, Nivea Lash Revolution Mascara paired with a very thin line of MAC Fluidline Gel eyeline and on my lips "Girl About town" from Mac which is my current favourite :-)

Vodka cranberry and our goodie bags filled with nice stuff

Last night Nina and me attended the Nelly "High Heels tour" party at the Box/Hilton Vienna. We were among the lucky ones who got to choose a pair of shoes from the new collection that isn't even out yet. I can't wait to have the shoes sent to me :-)
As per usual, many people at the party were dressed as if they attend a prom night which I always find funny since being "fashionable" for me doesn't have anything to do with wearing glittery, over the top clothes, tons of make up and as much jewelry as one can wear...for me it's about wearing what you love, what you feel most comfortable in and staying true to yourself. I just wore a white men's shirt, a skirt from Zara and my favourite simple black ankle boots. The only thing that probably stood out were my bold pink lips. Right now I am so in love with MAC's Girl about town lipstick, I think it looks perfect with dark brown hair. SWOON!
Anyways, the party was okay, not as many people as expected and I also had to leave early because I have to write on my bachelor thesis, it is due on november 22nd and I am not as far as I would like to be :-) Therefore the lack of outfit posts. I promise it'll be better once my work is handed in! xoxo V

Halloween Evidence

Just wanted to quickly share with you some pics of Halloween. As Nina already mentioned, we weren't the most creative ones with our costumes, but hey...at least we didn't run around like sluts, like all other girls did. I don't know what it is that all of a sudden on Halloween all girls feel the need to free their inner slut :-D Anyways, pics were taken with my phone, so the lack of quality and somehow we were unable to get full body pictures haha Nina was dressed as devil and I pretended to be a Barney Stinson/Johnny English/James Bond something ;-D
There you go....

Books

I love reading. Wheter its fashion magazines, history books (guess I got that from my grandpa ha!), Romances, Thrillers, Cookbooks...I just enjoy reading. If I'm really into a book, I might as well read it within a mere 2 days (Like Dan Brown's books)! I also love photography books, mostly about architecture and interior design. My amazon wishlist is about 9 pages long filled with books I am longing to buy and read in the near future. Unfortunately, I am so caught up with work and university stuff right now, I can't find a single minute to really sit down and enjoy a good book. This 2 books featured here are among my favourites within the fashion/lifestyle genre. I really recommend Derek Blasberg's "Classy". It is very entertainingly written and besides the obvious tips (Must haves for a lady's wardrobe etc.) it really has some useful stuff in it on what to wear when travelling and what to carry in your handluggage, how to throw different types of parties and how to break the ice when you're at an event where you barely know somebody!
"The goddess experience" on the other hand conntains a list of things everyone can do/enjoy in their lifes to feel like a queen. Or a goddess :-) It is beautifully illustrated and I find many of the tips inside very useful and they remind me of how important it is at times to just take care of yourself, treat yourself and how to enjoy the simple things in life. It definitely is a fun read!

Favourite perfumes

I'd thought I share my current favourites of the perfume world with you...actually, Glow by J.Lo isn't only a current favourite. I've been head over heels in love with it ever since it came out it 2003. It's is THE perfect scent. And so much better than the typical utterly sweet and cheap smelling celebrity perfumes that are out there. When I think of a ideal perfume for daytime, I think of something that smells fresh,clean,not overbearing,almost as if I'm not wearing any perfume at all but just smell like I came straight out the shower. Glow does exactly that. It is so subtle that people almost tend to ask what soap you use because you smell so fresh and clean. And that's exactly what I want for daytime. Escadas "Absolutely me" on the other hand is a kind of sweet scent. But not the same kind of sweet as named celebrity perfumes. I am really bad at describing scents,all I know is, is that I absolutely love this smell for nights out as it is sweet but somehow still fresh and it definitely doesn't smell like anything else out there and I like the thought of going out and knowing that chances that somebody else has the same perfume are almost non-existent as I guess it is not as popular as Narciso Rodriguez, Marc Jacobs, Chanel etc. scents :-)
