I bought this the glorious day I discovered
& Other Stories had opened a store in Rome and have been impatiently waiting for Spring to bust it out.
Featuring #GirlBoss, a couple books turned movies and a hipster Murakami number.
Here we are with the second issue of

There was a time, a handful of months ago, where the
it product in the beauty world wasn't even a beauty product.
Despite the fact you couldn't find it in the Sephora halls, it was so hyped up it was one of the things I wanted to pick up in New York, and after my first ever stroll through the hipster paradise that's Whole Foods, I finally became the proud owner of the most commented thing of 2014: Coconut Oil.
Um... Hello?
Long time no see, uh? Weirdly, I feel my hands shaking as I'm typing this, as I'm doing this thing I've put off for far too much time. During said time, I tried to not even think about blogging. I tiptoed around this topic like it was a pile of smelling poo on the sidewalk and tried to pretend I was fine with this break, when actually, I wasn't.
I love blogging and I'm proud of my blog. I'm proud of my improvements and, though not such big things, I'm also proud of everything I've achieved.
I guess coolest people would call this blog a memoir, I just see it as a creative outlet, a hobby I've kept doing for over a year now and that I'm not planning on quitting anytime soon.
So, on Friday, I turned 19.
A part from scaring me to death, because this is my last year as a teenager and I already feel old, it was awful.
If you've been following me for a long time, you'd know
I would have never ever spent 8€ on that pot of sugar Lush dares to call 'Lip Scrub'. Bare in mind I'm not saying it doesn't work, just that I don't think it's worth the money.
When
sales season swung around, though, I managed to get a pot of
Bubblegum for half price and those are my thoughts about it.
Here we are at our second
Forever Repurchasing post! Aren't you proud? Ok so, all the products featuring this category are obviously my favorites, but this one, the
Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in Eastend Snob is something else. Like I had a mini - ok, proper - panic attack one day when I couldn't find it. Like if I had done a 2014 favorites, this would have taken the crown. Like it's becoming my signature lip. Like everyone loves it and compliments me on it. And I'm here to tell you why it is so good.
I think smelling nice is one of the biggest pleasures in life. There is no compliment I enjoy more receiving than 'You smell so good' so I have been on the hunt for the perfect fragrance for quite a while now. After rummaging through all the Sephoras and fellows I came across, I realized I don't like traditional high street scents: they all smell a bit too... like perfume. Maybe it's the alcohol in them, I don't know, but I remember smelling Tom Ford Black Orchid and almost gagging for how bad it was.
When
Suzie did this I was like 'Yeah', then
Lily jumped on the band wagon as well and I thought it was about time I'd write down my New Year's Style Resolutions as well.
rimmel 60 seconds » WHITE HOT LOVE
White is beautiful: I love it in the Summer and I love it in the Winter. Crisp white boyfriend shirts and chunky ivory knitted sweaters are currently filling my dreams, but a good way to incorporate the lightest shade into your look is by putting it onto your nails, which is something I'm loving at the moment.
I know some people can find white nails a bit OTT, though, so here's a quick guide on how to rock them without falling into the kitsch hole.
» THE RIGHT LENGHT
With such a statement block color the length of your nails is really important: too short can make your fingers look a bit stubby, while too long may not appear very classy. File or grow your nails so that they maximum stick out of your fingertips of one mm, this way white will elongate your fingers and you'll have a very classy look.
» DARE TO SQUARE
To me, iron shape nails + white polish = Ariana Grande. If the Break Free's singer is not your number one style icon, you can keep everything a bit more subtle and elegant by opting for a more natural nail shape, like square.
» THE MATTE EFFECT
If you want to make your alabaster talons appear a bit more modern and interesting, there is nothing better than a matte top coat. Perfect to refresh Summer pastels and subtle your look even more, it will add a unique twist to your snow colored nails.
