B's "currently vibing"

It's been a little while since I last wrote about the things in fashion and beauty that I'm currently loving, so I thought I'd do a little updated version.

Dark Eyebrows // Blonde Hair

The thing that I love the most in the beauty world right now is the dark and thick eye brow + blonde hair trend. My own hair is ombré-d to about ear length and very long and blonde, with quite a bit darker roots, very similar to Drew Barrymore's hair in this picture. I just really love how the dark and thick, very defined eye brows contrast with the blonde hair - the stronger the contrast, the better, I think. I don't really care for their music, but Rihanna and Rita Ora look amazing with their dyed blonde hair, dark defined eye brows and bold red lips, and both Cara Delevingne and model pal Suki Waterhouse make me jealous with their perfect hair/brow combinations. Think I will be loving this for a long time.

Tropical Colors, Scents and Flavors

I totally realize I've said this before, but I am just REALLY into tropical things lately. While I do really love tropical prints on clothes, it's mostly scents and flavors that drive me crazy. I have been buying lots of scented candles lately, and now have my eye on these two: Yankee Candles are just the best, and "Black Coconut" and "Tropical Pineapple" literally sound like they were created for me! I've been digging little funky keychains too, and while I can't afford this little Mulberry pineapple gem, it definitely meets my tropical love. Because I am dieting at the moment, I don't really allow myself any sugary drinks at all except for the morning orange juice, but sometimes I buy one of these Rubicon tropical fruit juices as a little treat. To add to my biiiig collection, I am eyeing both the Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Lip Butter and the Aloe Lip Care - when the sun shines in my face all day, I need to remember to moisturize my lips frequently. For a sexy evening glow, the MAC Tropical Taboo Mineralize Skinfinish is perfect. And last but not least, the Batiste dry shampoo in the coconut & exotic scent. Literally addicted, I keep re-buying it.

Flowers // Cacti

I suppose that one's pretty self explanatory, and also goes hand in hand with my love of tropical things, but big, bold, colorful flowers and green, juicy cacti just make me feel really happy! I recently adopted a little palm tree and a cactus from Ikea, and they really brighten up my room a lot.

Tattoos // Piercings

When I think of it, tattoos and piercings shouldn't even be in my "currently vibing" list, because I've loved them for such a long time and can't see myself stopping any time soon. I have both, tats and piercings, myself - a crescent moon inked on my forearm which I've mentioned before and you can see here and here. To match my moon, I'm planning on getting a sun very soon. The one in the top right hand corner is literally perfection and is what I want to get! I also have quite a few other tattoo ideas, so keep your eyes open for future tat articles :) I also really love piercings. I currently have three on each lobe (the second piercing on my left lobe is currently stretched to 3mm and I'm planning to go up to 5mm) and a cartilage, as well as a nose ring. I'm really thinking of getting a couple of other piercings - both nipples, my navel and quite a few further ear piercings (especially rook and tragus) are all options I'm debating and planning on for the future, but for now my biggest plans are continuing to stretch my second lobe as well as finally getting my sun inked!

There's lots of other things I'm currently loving, such as nude make up, moon and sun patterns and jewelry, contrast sleeve coats, avocado and lime in every way shape and form, cute socks, matte lipsticks, messy beach waves, tanning cream, any kind of cocktails! but especially Mai Tai's with LOTS  of rum, and TONS of other things, but I thought I'd show you my top 4.

B's Summer Accessories

Hi again!

While I was shooting my summer products photos, I thought I might also take a couple of snaps of the accessories/jewelry I've been loving in the past month or two. I get my jewelry from all kinds of places, but I do have a couple of shops where I always return! 

                                                                                                                                                            Here's the necklaces I've been wearing the most recently.
1/ ASOS silver and black necklace (it actually belongs with necklace #4, the thin golden triangle necklace). I love these two dainty little necklaces, because they are great to wear individually or paired together, which I like because it allows me to mix my golden and my silver jewelry easily. Sadly, these necklaces have now sold out, but you can find similar ones on the ASOS website! They also currently have a great sale on!
2/ For MONTHS, I'd been eye-ing this golden lions head chunky chain necklace, and for some reason I never came about buying it, until a couple of weeks ago. Crazy, I know, as it is one of the best necklaces I own and I am completely in love with it. I know it's very on trend right now and everyone including Rihanna and various fashion bloggers owns them, but that doesn't really bother me. You can buy them on Ebay, Plndr, and many other sites, but I got mine off this sweet little online jewelry store called Kukee (watch out, Kym has a review for you about them soon!), where I get a lot of my stuff from. You can get this lion's head necklace here (and it only costs 5 pounds).

3/ My number 3 is a necklace I got a couple of weeks ago in Vienna, at H&M, because I had a 30% off gift card on a full priced item. I love it! The quality is amazing, especially considering it's H&M and their necklaces can be a bit flimsy sometimes, but this one feels heavy and nice, and the blue and shimmery stones are perfect to dress up an outfit for a night out.
4/ Little triangle necklace via ASOS (see 1/)
5/ This golden and black thick beaded necklace is a piece I bought about 4 months ago at Forever 21. They had a turquoise version too, but ultimately I had to go for the black one, because everything I wear and love is black, and I am glad I did, as the black color makes the necklace seem a lot more expensive than it was. Money well spent!

Next up, my "summer rings": I have a HUGE ring collection, as I am very much a ring lady (I can wear up to 10 rings at a time...). These are my rings of the moment: Purple glitter stone ring (Accessorize), Silver detail ring (thrifted: my all-time favorite ring since forever), brown shimmery stone ring (Accessorize), thin woven golden heart ring (friendship ring with Kym from Forever 21), thin silver woven ring with turquoise stone (Accessorize), twisted hands ring (ASOS).

                                                                                                                                                           
And finally, my every day watch, some earrings and a couple of other little gems I have been sporting nearly every day these past few weeks: White daisy hair band (River Island), Handmade Red Rose Flower Crown (Beauxoxo on Etsy), silver mini Casio watch (via ASOS), roman coin anklet (River Island, similar here), Door Knocker Lion's Head Earstuds (both via Kukee).
