K's "currently vibing"

Hello Sweeties!

Bianca already made a 'currently vibing' post some time ago and asked me to do the same but at that time I was quite stressed with life and I couldn't think of much I am obsessed with. Now I have finally sat down and thought about what I am thinking and hyping about most lately.


Corgi Breed

Yes, this has nothing to do on a fashion/beauty blog but I really don't care because I am so crazy about these dogs! My close ones know that I am actually obsessed with dachshunds, but corgis have conquered a big part of my heart already. FYI: I have grown up with dogs, precisely with dachshunds and a jack russel terrier, and I have learnt a lot about this species. I have a huge heart for animals and especially dogs, so you will see me getting one quite soon. I think about adopting a puppy next year, but I am not sure yet since I have absolutely no idea of how my life will look like one year from now, and there is no way I will be a doxie mommy when the situation isn't right for the dog!


Canvas Tote Bags

I may be late to the trend although it is still going on. The tote bags that appeal to me have to be cheap canvas with a nice, funny text line. I am not that into drawings, pattern or anything else only those shown in the picture.


Pink Ombré Hair

I have recently ombré-ed (I don't think this is a word but nevermind) my hair again. Now they are the usual middle-brown-to-bright-blonde color and I think it's beautiful but sometimes I look at it in the mirror and find it a bit boring. I have always imagined getting my hair dyed in a poppy, more unusual color than brown, black, dark red or blonde (I haven't had the last one yet because I think it would look ridiculous with my olive-toned skin). Back when I was 15 or 16, when I went through my so called 'emo' phase, and yes I was a victim as well, I dreamt about having light to bright pink hair but my mother said no, not in the simple way though but 'no are you insane you're gonna ruin your hair people will think you're a chav this is ugly and disgusting', so now that I am an adult I will make my youth-wishes come true soon and get my hair pink ombré-ed!


Rose Tattoos

Lame, boring, ordinary or however you may call this kind of tattoo I will call it beautiful, classic, timeless and I cannot get enough! I am so in love with it that I will get one of these done hopefully at Smith Street Tattoo when I will be in New York in about a week.


Left Boy

This is an artist I'm like 99,9% sure you have never heard about and if you did, congratulations because this is really good music, with trashy explicit lyrics though. Short introduction: Left Boy is an Austrian rapper, singer and producer from Vienna, currently based in Brooklyn where he also goes to University. His sounds are mostly rap/hiphop/electronic. He started with his music in 2010, often uses samples of famous songs in his pieces (like Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen or Girlfriend by Justin Bieber) and has performed at many festivals ever since. I have been to one of them and that's when I encountered his work; not for the first time, I have heard of him before, but I considered his music to be something entirely different which I really would never ever listen to. I was wrong and I can only hardly recommend him to anybody!


What are you obsessed about recently?

B's Weekly Wishlist #1




As I've mentioned before, I am a notorious shopping addict, and while I do absolutely love to shop in actual stores, I also can't ever resist online shopping.  Here a little overview of what I've been lusting over this week... Sigh, so beautiful!
I've been currently loving nude and neutral shimmery eye shadows - I think I seriously need to take the leap and invest into an Urban Decay Palette... It'll serve me well. With more neutral eye make-up I've recently been loving darker/purple-y lipstick, like this Mac Cosmetics one in the shade Hang-Up (I, like every other make-up lover, swear by mac lipsticks, they are hands down the most amazing, long lasting, easily applicable, moisturizing and pigmented lipsticks you can get.)
 Because of the heat I've had to cut down on foundation and concealer, so I'm eyeing the Real Techniques core brushes set to buff and blend my make-up nicely.
My current smell/flavor obsession is coconut (I recently raided The Body Shop when they had a sale - oops!), so this vegan thai coconut moisturizing spray to protect my hair from the heat and give an effortless, messy beach wave look is definitely on my "to-buy" list this week.
For clothing, I have been loving the minimal, clean-cut designs from the Swedish brand Monki - I just bought their white 3/4 sleeve sweater dress (grab it here on Asos before it sells out!) and I am absolutely head over heels in love with it. Effortless, casual and still sophisticated. This grey top is also begging me to buy it...
To match my minimalist clothing love I've got my eye on this pair of gorgeous sandals in white and brown leather. Pick a beautiful nail varnish in a pop-color (or some lovely nude shades) to complete the outfit. 
For cooler summer nights (I'm traveling to Helsinki in a few weeks, it might get a bit frisky up North!), I am really liking this white and black coat with faux leather sleeves, which nearly reminds me of a longer version/dupe of the Chanel jacket... Soooooo lovely.
I haven't been very much into jewelry lately, though I've been looking everywhere for big, beautiful, summery statement rings. These two from Shop Dixi are just perfect: chunky, silvery, with intricate detail, turquoise gemstone and a little moon - to match my recent tattoo acquisition.
Anything that pleases your eye too? I've inserted the links to all the shops in the description above!
