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 Weekly Wishlist #3

Hiya! 

I've had a few camera-related problems (aah!) so I haven't been able to upload any pictures recently - though I will post an article with my favorite buys of july 2013 soon :)
No matter what, I always have time for my bi-monthly wishlist though! I haven't seen many clothes that I really want recently, and I'm still a little caught-up in my make-up frenzy, but I thought after last week's beauty heavy post, I'll try to focus more on accessories, so here goes: 

 Necklace 1 | Necklace 2 | Benefit Kit | Backpack | Tan Cream | Nail Polish | Ear Studs | Laptop Case

I've been loving neutral colors and bold statement jewelry lately, so these rope necklaces with silver and gold detail from New Look are right down my alley - can't decide which one to get!
Because my bezzie Kym is heading to the US in a couple of days and cos she's the cutest girl in town, she asked me if I wanted anything from NYC... of course I couldn't say no. #1 on my wishlist is this little beautybox by Benefit called "Primping with the Stars". I've got their "Sugarlicious Lip & Cheek Kit" and love it dearly, but this box is even better - my every day make up essentials in one box and a cute travel size of their They're Real mascara.
I've been searching for the perfect leather backpack for a while now and recently came across this one on ASOS. I love the contrast between the suede and sleek leather, the color is perfect and it's neither too big nor too small. At 70€, it's quite expensive, but bear it mind that it is real leather.
Talking about chocolate brown: summer is slowly but surely coming to an end... and I'm pretty devastated because my tan is fading! When I was at the airport recently, I picked up a beauty magazine for a fiver, which had a really generous free sample tube of this Rodial brazilian tan... it's so good, but I've run out and need some more - despite the hefty price tag of 40€ for a small tube.
I've also been looking for a cute leather-look nail polish, and think this one by Nails Inc. looks just perfect! Definitely going to get the black one, it looks classy and fierce all at once.
As you may or may not know, I really love piercings and tattoos. Along with my crescent moon tattoo on my forearm, I have a golden nose ring, a cartilage stud on my left ear, and, as of yesterday, three lobe piercings on each side. To decorate my new piercing acquisitions and because I love to wear different studs on each ear, I've got my eyes set on this really cool set of studs by Me & Zena.
My current laptop case is a disgrace to my darling macbook baby, so I've been on the hunt for a cute one: this one by ASOS is perfect. Colorful, girly and with a little bit of aztec, right on trend.
