It finally is the last week of January so it will only get better from here. We are no winter sports fans and the weather is definitely getting on my nerves. I want to wear looser and thinner clothes but it is getting really really cold the next few days and then it might be over.
Meanwhile I am trying to incorporate as many vibrant colors and spring patterns to my looks as possible like the colorful scarf I am wearing above also the green did help to lift my mood on this cold and gloomy day.
The jacket I am wearing is super versatile and great to wear now and in Spring. Looks cute to pair with denim or bootcut pants as well and a graphic tee underneath.
How are we on the cadett caps or baker boy hats or fiddler hats ? I still like to wear them a lot not even in the Winter but also in Spring time and some colder Summer days.
Have you guys already decided on Spring looks ? I am planning on start shooting them next week so I can share pretty soon. I have a lot of cute pieces so make sure to check back.
With the new year always comes the urge to start fresh around here (or at least to get organized, put away the Christmas decor and have a clean house). I have done lots and lots of organizing throughout the two years of the pandemic and some areas still need improvement but I am getting there. It gives me such a peace of mind and makes me love our house even more when everything is neat and has a place to go.
With all the things Emilia has and has gotten for Christmas it is even harder to keep it tidy around here and I manage as best as I can but that will be another post for you guys where I specifically share want I did and why.
Now let´s have a look at the last areas I gave a proper cleaning. I am going to link as many boxes and little helper I used.
Kitchen – Spice Drawer
This was such a huge mess. I didn´t know half the things I had and always bought more cause I couldn´t find anything up to the point when I got almost crazy finding some of my spices and dediced to clean out the whole drawer.
I got these little glass containers in a set from amazon and they are super handy. They fit great into the drawer, they come with stickers to properly label your glass containers and a funnel to avoid messes. Love that the lids are labeled.
Hallway – Shoe Closets
I definitely am a little ashamed to share the before picture of my main shoe closet but yeah that is the real truth. I haven´t sorted this one for about two years and it definitely showed. I purged lots of shoes I don´t want to wear anymore as well as shoes that don´t fit anymore after my first pregnancy although I would say my feet are back to normal at about 95%.
I sorted them by category. Flats and mules on the top and heels from the middle to the bottom. Sneakers in the middle. The super cool shoe riser are from Ikea and pretty awesome cause sneakers take up a lot of space and this way you save lots of space.
If you follow me for a time now you might now that I love Ikea a lot and could make proper advertising for them by sharing parts of my home so of course I do have Ikea furniture in my bedroom as well. My vanity and the Alex container are both very handy in terms of storing make-up and little beauty gadgets. I have gotten baskets over the time to properly store all of my belongings and of course my labelmaker could not be missed.
I think we all long for color after the most dreaded weeks of the year. Spring is still far away and Christmas time has been so festive with all the sparkles and lights and the cute outfits that January seems to be quite colorless.
So there is definitely a need to add some color with your clothes.Everything I am wearing is is normal sizing but all things denim are maternity cause I can´t button my pants anymore. No chance.
The sweater includes the most beautiful colors but is still super warm for the colder days (it won´t get better here until the end of march). I have styled it super casual with a pair of wide leg denim and sneakers. Picked up the blush from the sweater with my handbag et voila. Just throw on some Pillow Talk lipstick and you are good to go for a cold day.
I love my lipsticks and I definitely love to wear a bold lip. It is a statement and oh so beautiful. Period. There is nothing more to add but the bolder and darker the lipstick, the trickier it is to apply it perfectly and make it stay all day.
For today´s post I am sharing how I wear this very berry color and what are the steps to get to this edgy look.

Scrub, scrub, scrub…
First of all these are the perfect months to wear darker lipstick but these are also the month my lips couldn´t be drier. I have to things I love to do in the evening and mornings. First of all there is no way to hold on to your smooth lips without a scrub. Wearing lipstick everyday and removing your make-up in the evening is taking a huge tool on the hydration of your lips so a lip scrub it is.
Hydration is key…
After a good srcub hydration is key to keep your lips smooth and free from chopping. This Rituals Rescue Lip Balm is my favorite and I always have a back-up in my drawer. It is this good and the quickest remedie for extremly chapped lips.
Liner…
Like with all the dark colors you will need a liner to keep the color inside of your lips and stop it from smudging. Also lining your lips first and fill in the color after will make less of a mess I promise. Looks strange but is very effective and there is nothing to correct after.
The colors I have shared above are my four favorite berry colored lipsticks I have owned and loved for a long time.
