Life Update 2.0

Hi guys!
Just a little heads up and to let you guys know I am currently in between two apartments, dismantling and rebuilding furniture, packing suitcases full of books, driving back and forth to Ikea, stacking shoes in boxes, disassembling shelves of Make up products, and of course packing boxes and boxes full of clothes! AH, so much work to do and still to be done! 

Aside from the move I'm also running back and forth between my university campus and my work place, so please bear with me in this busy time and get excited for lots of Christmas-themed DIY's, cosy and warm OOTD posts, and little christmas-y hauls and cute party season outfits coming up soon. You might even get a little sneak and peak of my new flat! From what I know (we've been so busy, we haven't seen each other in a month! Sad times for bffs), Kym is currently tackling her immense maths course work for uni. The only times we've gotten to 'spend together' lately is when we've been internet shopping together late at night, ha ha! I'm super excited though cos as the great friend that she is she's offered to come help me with the flat in the next few days. Fingers crossed, I am hoping to be done with moving by sunday night!
Either way, I just wanted to let you all know we're still very much alive, just busy little bees at the moment. We'll definitely be back shortly with lots of great posts. 'Til then, we hope you're having a great time, and as a consolation prize, here's a little collage of what's been on our Instagrams lately:

K's Weekly Wishlist #5

Hello Sweeties!

I am so very sorry that I haven't been blogging for a while. A few weeks ago my new studies have begun and since then I have been incredibly busy, it has taken up my entire life. If my boyfriend wasn't living with me, I would be all on my own with my books and my co-students. And yes, this means I have not seen my friends in a while. Now to my wishlist:

Necklace | Batiste Dry Shampoo | Shoes | Lip Pencil | Leggings | Boots | Digital Watch | Analogue Watch

I am still in love with statement necklaces, the chunkier and bigger the better. Some weeks ago I found one at Primark I really like, for a really low price (what a surprise for Primark huh). I really need this kind of jewelry so that my outfits don't look dead boring, mainly because they are so minimal and simple.

I have been recommended Batiste Dry Shampoo so many times, I cannot count them anymore. Many blogs rave about it and so does Bianca. I think I will finally give it a try. This will give my hair a break because I have to wash it every single morning!

This kind of shoes have been on my mind for as long as I can think. I had to give away the ones from Primark I have owned for many years and now I have been looking for cheap but pretty ones everywhere. Zara products are of higher quality, so I might get my hands on those in the future.

I have been buying many lip pencils already and what upset me a bit is that the staying power is quite bad. After reading some reviews on the Bourjois Color Boost lipstick I am eyeing with this one.

The leggings shown in the picture are not only on my wishlist but also on their way to my closet! I am really excited for them to arrive. I am totally into leggings lately and I don't want to miss the wet look ones.

Cut-out boots. Yes to going with this hype. They look a lot like the ones from Jeffrey Campbell, which I like, and I really need some with gold details. They have to be minimal and not suede. I have fallen in love with the ones shown in the picture but my size is sold out already... I really hope they will restock!

No, I have never been someone who wears watches. I have mobile phone, I don't need a watch on my wrist. Well, maybe I was wrong and wearing one would be a lot more practical. And if I decide to get one, I will still have to choose between digital and analogue. Even though I prefer analogue to digital, I cannot bear the ticking for a second.

What have you been wishing for lately?

B's Wishlist #6

Wowee, it's been 3 weeks since we last updated, that's horrible I'm sorry! 

Life's been really busy lately. I've returned to Austria to go back to uni, but in the meanwhile I've also gotten a job as a part time teacher, plus I've found a flat into which I will be moving in a couple of weeks, so please bear with me during this busy time and forgive the occasional dry spell of articles.
I know the wishlists are normally a saturday thing, but better late than never, right :)
Summer's most definitely gone entirely now, the skies are dull and it's windy. I love it! Without further ado, here my wishlist for the first half of october:

   

    Mom Jeans | Cropped Top | Houndstooth Socks | Knitted Jumper | Rose Gold Watch 1 | Rose Gold         Watch 2 | Fairy Lights | Blotting Paper | Necklace | Eyeliner Set | Spot Treatment | Charcoal Mask

I know this was a really big trend in summer especially, but I still can't let go of the boyfriend meets mom jean trend. I recently had a cheeky look on the Nastygal website, and have had a 500€ wish list saved on there ever since. These gorgeous jeans are topping the list. I love the ripped knee detailing, the mid-waist, slightly oversized legs, turned up cuffs and gorgeous wash. While they look best with heeled sandals, I'm sure I could make these badboys work with some cute cut out boots and a jumper.
Next on the list, as usual, something from Monki! A standard piece to have, but as you know I can't get enough of crop tops. I'm really into muted shades, black, burgundy, grey, so this is perfect. Want!
Sadly it's starting to get so cold that I need to wear socks with my cut-out boots, but I suppose that gives me the perfect excuse to order these per-fect houndstooth pattern socks by Monki, which are bang on trend.
I only recently discovered the site Choies, but I'm already in love. My top pic from their website is this beautiful cropped, oversized knitted jumper. So cosy!
I've been eyeing this Marc by Marc Jacobs rose gold watch for an eternity and it's still on my wishlist, but I just found this ASOS similar version which is about 300€ cheaper, so I'm gonna have to opt for that in the meanwhile.
As I mentioned above, I am moving into a new flat soon, which is super exciting and is making me a little interior-decoration-crazy. I NEED to get myself some fairy lights, especially with winter coming up, to  make my new home warm and cosy. You can get gorgeous ones from the Urban Outfitters home section.
One of my staples in my make up bag is a pack of good blotting papers so I don't need to re-apply powder during the day. I caved and bought these beautiful special edition ones by Paul & Joe. The packaging was just too darling not to get them, right?
With my love of muted colors has come a love of extremely simple, classic jewelry. This statement collar necklace with a big onyx stone and silver detailing is literally my idea of perfection.
I recently realized that my collection of eye liners is a bit of a sad excuse, and that I really need to get a few more. This little set by Pixi is genuinely everything you need for autumn: a good creamy black, a highlighting pearl-y color, and a deep plum, olive and brown tone.
Last but not least, two skin care products which I just need to get to combat by occasional stress breakouts: the Origins Spot Remover Treatment Gel, as well as their Charcoal Mask.
