Outfit of the day 02.22.13 ❤

Yesterday I had a really late start at school. I didn|t start until 1 pm!! So I decided to film an outfit of the day video. My outfit wasn't anything super extraordinary or anything, but I really liked it so I wanted to share it with you guys!

This is my outfit:

My white sweater is from H&M a little while ago. I love it because it'd really soft and warm, but i think it still looks good. I got it for about 100 NOK which is equivalent to $16-17 and £10 which I thought was a pretty good bargain. I wore a pink t-shirt underneath the sweater which I got from Abercrombie & Fitch a couple of years back.

My pants are jeggings from A&F. I love these so much! I actually have them in blue as well. They are really comfortable to wear, but I love the pattern on them and the whole look of them in general. 

My bracelet is from H&M and it really old. I'm not really good when it comes to jewellery.. I have a little amount, but I always forget to wear is and end up just wearing the same pieces over and over again. I really like the pieces I wear though, so that's good, right?

My watch is from Guess, and I've had this for a couple of years as well. I got it as a birthday present from my grandparents and I wear it every single day pretty much without fail. (And yeah, I know, I'm pale as a ghost! lol)

I got this necklace after my boyfriend went on holiday with his family just a few months after we started dating. I love it! Blue is my absolute favorite color, and this kind of blue paired with the gold just looks amazing (I think so anyway).

I love pearl earrings. I think they just look so classy and elegant, and you just look a little more put together with them than without. I god this pair from my mum before I was going on a trip to the US a while back. I love them!

And that's pretty much it! I hope you enjoyed this quick little OOTD. And please leave me feedback on the video as well. I'm still really new to the whole youtube thing, and I am definitely open for ideas and suggestions. And I'm sorry if my english is kind of shaky. I am pretty sure I can speak english fluently when having a conversation with other people, but once I turn the camera on my brain just shuts off and I can't get things out the way I wanted to. If that made any sense at all.. lol! Anyways, it would make me so happy if you guys would subscribe to my channel. I am working on making my videos better, and once I have my computer back I can start developing my editing skills as well.
I love you all, thank you so much for reading my blog!

My winter essentials

Today I am sharing my winter essentials with you guys. This might be different to what some of your winter essentials depending on how cold it is where you live. It has been anything from -5 to -15*C (23 to 5F) here recently so keeping warm has been the biggest concern. And without further ado, here are my winter essentials:

My skin gets really dry when it's cold, so moisturizers are essential for me, especially during the winter. For my face I use Benefit's Total Moisture facial cream. It is very thick so it moisturizes well, and the packaging is just adorable! I use the Hand Food from Soap & Glory for my hands, which I'm sure you all now is really good by now. For body lotions I will pretty much use anything I have, but I've been loving the triple moisture body cream from Bath & Body Works lately. It moisturizes better than a lot of other body lotions I've tried. Here I have it in the scent Country Chic and Sweet cinnamon pumpkin. My favorite is the Dancing Waters one, but that one is at my parents house at the moment. 

These have been crucial to me surviving the cold weather. Neither of them are the most fashionable thing in the world, but they keep me SO warm and I love them. The UGGs are in the style Classic Tall and I feel like I'm wearing slippers outside when I wear them. The jacket is from Bergans and is the warmest jacket I have ever tried. I don't think I've ever been cold while wearing it. 

 Hats and scarves have also been frequently used this winter. The left hat it from Abercrombie & Fitch, the right one was a gift and the headband is from H&M. The green scarf is also from H&M, the brown one is from Bianco and the beige one with tiny hearts on it was a gift. The green and the brown scarves are infinity scarves, and the beige one is just a regular rectangular scarf. 

I might have gone a little candle crazy these past couple of months... But I just love burning candles on dark winter evenings, and these ones from Bath & Body Works makes our whole apartment smell really good and cosy as well. They are called Vanilla Snowflake, Leaves and Twisted Peppermint. I might actually do another post on my favorite candles sometime if that's something you guys would like to see :)

 

Going a long with dark winter nights, a nice pair of pajama bottoms, some cosy slippers and a warm sweater-type-thing is really good to have. The pajama bottoms are from Abercrombie a couple of years ago, the slippers are from H&M and the jacket is from Mango, also a couple of years ago. 

One if the things I love most about winter is cuddling up on the sofa with a blanket, a hot cup of tea and a good book. I am currently reading Matched, and I'm really liking it so far. My favorite tea at the moment is from London fruit & herb company and is in the flavor Orange Spicer. It is pretty much my favorite tea ever. I am kind of particular with the teas I drink, but if you have any recommendations I would love it if you would leave them in the comments below. 

So thats it, I think. Let me know what your winter essentials are, and if I forgot something that you think I should have mentioned, leave a comment below and tell me! :)
