Minty

Hi!

Today I have my outfit from tuesday for you. I really like how it looks. I especially love the mint polka dots skirt from Mink Pink. It was on sale at Asos (it still is!) and it's so cute that I just had to order it. IT's still a little bit more expensive thjan the average skirt I buy, but it was totally worth it It's exactly as you can see it on the website. The only downside is that it's very light. So if there's just one small breeze, the skirt will be lifted all the time. That's why I decided against the over the knee socks and wore tights when I went out for work.

cardigan - Mango (bought on sale, there's already on button missing ;_;), t-shirt - H&M, mint polka dot skirt - Mink Pink via Asos (sale), over the knee socks - Calzedonia, boots - Graceland (Deichmann), belt - came with a dress from Forever 21, necklace and earrings (can't see them here) - Swarovski, twisted glamour bracelet - Swarovski Crystallized

As you can see I already got my new Swarovski jewelry! I love the new Tinkerbell series! I decided against the Tinker Bell ring and got this twisted galmour bracelet in indicolite instead. The color is great and it can match a lot of my things. I thought the ring might be a little bit too impractical and big for work.

See you next time!

ONE OK ROCK 「The Beginning」

New PV from ONE OK ROCK! A great song as always, I love them!

It's the title song from the new Rurouni Kenshin movie, which looks really good. I've never really been into Kenshin much, I only read the first two manga volumes and watched one OVA and it really wasn't mine back then.



Maybe I would watch the movie though...

Happy Birthday!

Last sunday some colleagues of my shift came together to celebrate the birthday of another colleague, Athi. We met at Mariahilferstraße (some people were late as always >.<, how I hate this) and then we went to Bier Factory XXL.

We prepared everything with some birthday decorations, the balloons weren't really long-lived though and eventually Athi came, too. The great thing about the party: We haven't told her that it's her birthday party, but of another colleage and only a few people will be there. After we told that everyone just came for her, she was really touched and happy. She also got an album with a lot of photos from us.

We had a lot of XXL food, I just went with a greek salad, because I already had some lasanga for lunch >.<. Unfortunately they didn't write anything about a bunch of red onions, cucumbers and tomato on the menu >.<. But other than that it was very good. We also had a delicious tiramisu made by some colleagues!

It really was a great day. I'm happy that I went there, because I haven't really felt well on that day (I'm having a sore throat for 5 days now and I'm not sure If it's ever getting better >.<). One more picture of what I was wearing that day:

top - ZARA, Cardigan - ZARA, skirt - New Yorker, boots - Graceland (Deichmann), neck scarf - Accessorize, tights - Calzedonia, nail polish - Essie (94 Lapiz of Luxury)

See you next time! Bye!

New Hairstyle!

So I went to the hairdresser yesterday. I haven't been to a hairdresser since february and I felt my hair looked horrible already, but because I'm a very cheap person and going to the hairdresser is one of the most expensive things I'm doing (except for buying electric devices), I only go every 4 to 6 months.

Because I had such a bad experience on the last two times I went to my old hairdresser (with getting hair color all over my face and on my pullover and things like that, I thought it's time to try something new. We decided to visit young style at Shopping City Süd.

We just went there without an appointment. It was pretty full, but they said that it's okay anyway. Tom was finished really quickly and it looks really good. I had to wait a little longer, but that's what I thought.

I wanted to have a kind of ombre look like everyone seems to have now (except for people running around here in Vienna >.<). I wanted it to be a very nice and smooth transition from light brown to blonde, but she said, that it would be pretty hard to achieve and that it would not be as smooth as if you just grow it out. So she made another suggestion: Layered 2-colored hair: The top layer of hair will be darker and in the layers below I'll get blonde highlights. Sounded good and I didn't have any other idea.

After around two hours I was finished and really surprised by the result. Here is a before - after picture:

Looks great, doesn't it? I really like the shiny brown and the layered look. Really cool. I haven't seen anything like this before, and I'm really happy how it looks now. Sorry about no make-up >.<...

For the price it was really worth it. The blonde will get a little lighter over time. I can just recommend this hairdresser. Everyone was kinda busy but really nice, and I love how my hair is now! What do you think?

See you again!

Color Tattoo 24hr - Turquoise Forever

Hi! I'm back again with a product test today!

So a few days ago I went to Bipa with Tom and we saw a great eyeshadow color called Turquoise Forever from Maybelline. He said if I'd wear it he would buy it for me, and I said, okay, I'll try it, but I'm just wasn't so sure about wearing turquoise colored eyeshadow with blue eyes.

Normally I don't wear any eyeshadow, because I'm long-sighted and I mess up every time I try... It's even hard enough for me to put on eyeliner and/or mascara without poking my eyes out >,<. If it's messy I just call it smoky eyes XD. There are days when I'm leaving the house, arrive at work and when I look at the mirror I just see a desaster... So that's about it...

But this color really is gorgeous so I just had to try it:

So it's a gel cream eyeshadow and  the color I bought is called Turquoise Forever. I think the 24hr show how it's very long-lasting. Even better! Every time I try to use eyeshadow it seems to vanish within a few hours to whereever...

When you open it, it looks like a small creme pot, really cute and the color looks even better. I just used my fingers to apply it on my eyes. The texture is really nice, very soft and smudgeable. So you can apply more of this eyeshadow to get a stronger effect or less to make it look a little softer. The color is great and sparkles very pretty. Here you can see the result on my eyes. Unfortunately I'm not very good at taking pictures very close to my own face, but this is the best result I got:

Looks really pretty I think. Makes my eye color look like turquoise, too in this picture. I applied a second layer later to make it even shinier, but I really stayed on my eyes until the evening. I even got compliments... And I thought noone will really notice this anyway... Surprise! Too make this even cooler, I also used a matching nailpolish:

It's my favorite nailpolish color at the moment. Beach Bum Blue (96) from Essie. What a perfect color! It's a wonderful metallic turquoise, even one layer looks really good already, here I used two layers for a longer lasting finish.

Okay, that's it for today. I'm thinking about buying another color, maybe the dark grey they had, to make an even better look with two colors... They had 6 different colors at Bipa, for € 7,99 each, I'll definitely checking them out the next time!

Okay, see you again next time! Bye!

Accessory Overload!

I'm not really feeling well since yesterday. The night before yesterday was hell as well. We had a terrible storm here (I really was afraid my herbs will not survive this night, but they did after all) and I had a stomachache too and woke up all the night. So I was feeling dizzy the whole day and had pain in my limbs again. I don't know if it's the sudden change of weather or my allergies or an infection. I hate this. Feeling sick all the time without actually being sick in any way.

Even if I didn't feel really well I still decided to go to the city after all. I still needed to check up on the new A/W Swarovski Collection to look for the things I'd like to have. Unfortunately all the things I really wanted won't be our until September or October ;_;. So I more or less decided on these 4 beautiful pieces:

1. Tinker Bell Double Wings Pendant - Swarovski, 2. Tinker Bell Wings Pierced Earrings - Swarovski, 3. Tinker Bell Wings Ring - Swarovski, 4. Sonnet Ring - Swarovski

The new Tinkerbell Collection is gorgeous! I tried on the necklace and the earrings and decided to take them. I really wanted to have longer earrings again, and those wings are so cute. The long necklace is so nice as well. I really like the purple to turquoise epoxy part on it. And the rings? I'm not the typical ring wearer, I prefer to wear sparkly bracelets or bangles, but when I saw the Sonnet ring for the first time, I fell in love with it. Hell, it has stars on it and does look like a little crown! Instant love! Hopefully I'll get these by next week!

After I finished my Swarovski visit, I still had to look a little around despite feeling like utter crap.I thought if I already took me around 50 minutes to get here and another 50 to get back at least I make it worth it. So I went to Forever 21 and Accessorize to find even more lovely stuff:

1. Glittered Heart Bracelet, € 6,90 - Forever 21, 2. Silver Stretch Bracelet, € 7,90 - Forever 21, 3. Burgundy Ribbed Over The Knee Socks, € 4,90 - Forever 21

How can you not love the Heart Bracelet? It has a rose gold lokk and all the small pink hearts with glitter are so cute. The second bracelet reminded me of acceleration arrows from Mario Kart or F-Zero *lol*. I'm a nerd. And then I found the over the knee socks. I love socks! When I saw those I thought about if I already have dark reds ones, but I wasn't sure, so I just bought them. Surprisingly these fit me pretty well. I have pretty large legs and ofter problem with socks (and pants and boots) being to small on me, but these are very nice. I'm thinking about to buying the other colors (navy, grey and wool white) too, if they still have them by next week. You can never have enough well fitting over the knee socks in all colors!

And at Accessorize I bought these lovelies:

1. Metal Leaf Alice Band, € 9,90 - Accesorize, 2. 2X Leaf Barettes, € 4,90 - Accessorize, 3. Fergus Fox Ring, € 15,90 - Accessorize

Yay, I finally got my Fergus Fox ring in medium. Soooo cute! They only ever had it in large size, which is way too big for me, but the medium fits perfect on my middle finger. It was the last one!!! Then I also got this beutiful alice band with what I thought were feathers, but they are leaves. Still very pretty though! And thenb there are those feather hairclips. actually they are called leaves on the website, too. Well it doesn't matter, feathers for me! So many pretty things!

So, I'll take a little rest for now so I'll be feeling better later again. See you!

Turquoise - I love you

Hmm, maybe someone has already guessed it - from the look of my tumblr, my blog or what I'm wearing most of the time - my favorite color is turquoise. When I was a little girl my first favorite color was red, but it changed to pink later, like all girls I think. Then it changed to turquoise when I was a teenager, I don't know why, but it became kind of my "statement-color", I can't just get enough of it.

I've got tops, skirts, dresses, pullovers, multiple cardigans in different tones of turquoise and mint, jewellery, accessories and nailpolishes. Recently I saw some things in turquoise which I do not have - yet, but which I really liked:

1. Turquiose imitation leather jacket, from Pimkie. 2. Transparent bag, from Bershka. 3. adidas Adria PS women, seen at Sidestep. 

I neeeeeeeed them in my closet, come to meeee!

Welcome back!

Okay, so I'm starting a new blog again. And everything will be in english!

Some might ask: Why do you use Blogger, if you have your own webspace with unlimited traffic? So here's a little story how I came here:

I deleted all my webspace last year and started a whole new blog on my webspace with Wordpress, but I don't know what went wrong, but the website itself and also the administration was so slow and glitchy... I couldn't even update anything anymore and it became tedious to even do anything on there. I don't really have the time anymore to really do all this work. I spend a lot time on my website and webdesign when I was younger, but for now I just want anything to be perfect from the strat with the ability to do some changes here and there to my likes.

So after that I went to tumblr. I really do love tumblr. You can find mine here. I also spend some time on there, I like to reblog all those nice arts and pics and gifs. I even wrote some blog posts and did some gifs, but it didn't really felt like a *real* blog if you know what I mean.

And so I came here. Let's hope everything will work right. I changed my blog name from Kira Kira to Citrus Glitter, I hope you'll like the name. I couldn't think of anything better.

I will do a lot of changes in the next days, but for now I'll just leave you with two cute photos of my cats. See you again!
