Style and Sushi

I can't believe that this is my fourth year of doing this 'my 2016 favourite outfits' post. It's such a fun way to see what I have been wearing throughout a year.

During the Christmas time I decided to get myself a new bag! From me, to me. I have had quite the year and had some money left over from working and still had some birthday money left from when I had my birthday in February, so I really wanted to buy something nice for myself. In the end I ended up buying this gorgeous Lancaster Mademoiselle Ana crossbody bag for myself.

I love Christmas and all the things that come with Christmas. My favourite thing about Christmas is probably getting to spend lots and lots of time with your family and other loved ones. We always have this tradition where my brother and his girlfriend come to our house on Christmas Eve and we have the biggest feast of all time. Mostly including alcoholic drinks, however I am not really a big alcohol lover, so what I like to do is make myself some non-alcoholic drinks and today I am sharing my favourites with you!

I wanted to post lots of my Christmas recipe posts in the early months of December, but I have been so busy with uni that I haven't really had time yet to am so late with all of the Christmas posts this year. So now that I have a bit more time on my hands just before the Christmas holiday, I will be sharing my first Christmas recipe! Gingerbread man cookies! So cute and perfect to have during the Christmas season!

Every now and again I change up my makeup routine. Since the last time that I posted about makeup, some base products have changed again. I had to deal with a major breakout, so I had to change up my 'base' once again to see if the BB cream that I had been using was the product that was breaking me out. So here I am once again, with a makeup routine that's kind of different from all of the other ones that I posted, but pretty much the same too.

This post is the final part of the Christmas gift guide series. After sharing my budget Christmas ideas and my lifestyle Christmas ideas with you last week, I'm sharing the semi-luxury gift guide with you today. Luxury gifts are those kinds of gifts that you would like to gift everyone you care about. However I'm really not that rich that I can get my mum a Céline bag and my dad a brand new stereo set, so that's why I would say that all of these gift ideas are kind of luxurious, but still semi-affordable, considering some gifts that people give each other are around €1000.

My five favourites posts have flown by in these past twelve months. It's so crazy to think that we're nearly at the end of another year. November has flown by so fast and I had a bit of a hard time remembering what I had used and loved a lot during the month. I partly blame the chocolate rush I'm constantly in now that it's December and Christmas is just around the corner. So I had a good thought about my five favourites and here they are!

Ugh, this year literally has been going by so fast. I can't believe we're closing in on already being halfway through December. I feel like as we're getting older, the months just become shorter and shorter. This past month on Instagram has been a whirlwind of cosy knits and lots and lots of my own food. So without further or do, here's my instagram activity from November!

Today I'll share the second part of my Christmas gift guide with you. After sharing some budget Christmas ideas with you the other day, I also wanted to share some lifestyle gift ideas with you. Lifestyle gifts are perfect for when someone just moved into a new place, or if you and your family and/or friends are really into lifestyle! Sometimes it's hard to really figure out what someone likes, as lifestyle gifts usually are quite personal. So these gifts are perfect if you're looking for that special and meaningful gift for someone who just moved into a new place!

The Christmas season is my favourite season of the year. All of the cute little lights everywhere, the hot chocolates and just spending lots of time with the ones you love. Since I love Christmas so much I thought why not post a Christmas gift guide up on my blog. I will be posting a three part Christmas gift guide this year, starting off with the budget Christmas gift guide today, then I will be posting a lifestyle gift guide and finally a semi-luxury gift guide!

Being a uni student, is hard. You don't have a lot of money to spend on Christmas gifts, and it can get quite hard to buy your friends and family some really nice and affordable Christmas gifts. So in this post I'll share a few Christmas gift ideas that are under €25,00. Perfect for a uni student, or really lovely as a stocking filler if you have a bit more to spend.

Acne is something that I feel like I should talk about a bit more on my blog.  I have had to deal with pimples since I was twelve, they weren't really that bad, I had the occasional painful pimple in high school, thinking it was ruining my life at the time. Since my first year at university, I started noticing that something changed in my skin. While having the occasional painful, bumpy pimple at high school, I noticed that when I went to university, those painful pimples somehow showed up on my face every (other) day leaving lots of scars behind as well. In this post I will share a few of my favourite skincare items that help calm down my skin whenever I am breaking out.

I love autumn/winter fashion, so I am constantly browsing the internet, looking at new tops, trousers, jackets and all other items like that. This month is no different, so I wanted to create a little wishlist for this month of all the items I would love to get my hands on.

It's crazy to think that we're already in November and the end of the year is slowly coming into sight. Actually, it's really kinda scary how fast this year is going by. Now that it's been October, I am really, truly in the Autumn state of mind. Anyway, I am all wrapped up in scarves, boots and knits and these are all of the things I have been loving during the month of October!

Autumn is well and truly here and trees seem to loose have lost most of their leaves. With the autumnal season coming around, my instagram feed slowly starts to include photos of me wearing wooly jumpers, as well as knits and throws are starting to become a part of my daily routine. It's November and I posted lots of photos on Instagram in October, here they all are.
