OOTD for a not so hot summer day

Here where I live ( especially recently ) the weather is going cray-cray. One week it's so hot you can't leave the hosue, and now it's like freakin' end of September or something. So I shot this outfit in March or something when the weather became nice and I thought it matches this not so summery but still warm weather.
I wore a long, grey skirt from New Yorker and a crop top from Pull&Bear with some ' light ' leather jacket from Stradivarius. I added the sunglasses because I didn't wear any makeup - but it is useful in summer - and a skull ring from H&M. Also you can change the sneakers to some sandals or flip-flops or even boots as you like.
I like this outfit because it is comfortable and looks and really is effortless. Perfect to do errands, to meet with friends and just chilling.

#2014BloggerChallenge - collections

The next #2014BloggerChallenge is all about collections. I thought I would insert some pictures of my makeup/jewellery collection. I love collecting pieces and it is funny to see what kind of makeup/jewellery phase I went through :) Oh and there're also some cheeky nail polishes!

being sick

Being sick sucks! Apologies for my not too nice topic sentence but that is the truth. And I think it is delicate from someone who is home for 7 days in a row now. I hate sickness, not going to school and falling behind, not being able to go to parties ( concerts ), and not having a reason for using makeup ( also not really enjoying doing it ) and just everything. The sore-throat, tonsillitis, back-aching, head-ache, fever and other aching body parts. I would be more gutted if the weather was as nice as two weeks ago. 
But I brought you some of my 'sickness essentials' to get through a day if you ( like me ) are sick in JUNE.
First is tea. I know this is not the real 'hot' tea - athough I'm sure you can heat it. But I took these pictures when I was feeling better so that's why is Nestea replacing real tea in a mug, what I usually go for beacuse hydration is really important. It helps get rid of the fever the bacillus and the pathogens. I normally drink water but after 5 days of hydrating, it's nice to spice things up a little bit.

Second is to have something that keeps you busy ( if you're well enough ) between two sleeps - because that's how you measure a sick day...eat,sleep, rave, repeat-. I like to use this extra free time to read and watch some series or films. Currently I'm reading Harry Potter all over again. If you've seen my Instagram you could tell I am a massive Potterhead. 

From my medicines I only captured my thermometer ( important to use it regularly! ) because that's the boring part. :D

And we finally got to skincare. Just before I got sick my Avon purchase arrived and I used plenty of it in my sick days so here is just a tiny part of my sick skincare. This time I was so much better ( thanks to Avon because the excitement over new products helped ) with caring about my skin around these times and I was more grateful than ever for my moisturizer and my lipbalm that I spoke about here in the past. And the newcomer here is a foot moisturizer ( Avon foot work ) ! Yes, I finally bought some ( and believe me I really needed it ) and it has an amazing scent to it. And I always think when I use it that in Mean Girls they said that Regina's face smells like footcream, well if they use it I would totally be okay with the thing! :D

Anyways do you have any holy-grail sick trick or skincare product? Let me know in the comments! xx, Kyra

toni&guy casual sea salt spray

I may be late to this trend but I have to make a post about the Toni&Guy Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray. I discovered sea salt sprays last year ( through Zoella ) but at first I figured it's easier to make it at home. Well it didn't quite work out - maybe wrong 'how to' video or something else, I dont know..- but this year as spring hit in here pretty heavy and summer is just around the corner, I thought 'Why not buying a good spray?'. Well at first I had really mixed feelings. It wasn't doing much to my ponytail just left it wet and then my "clean-enough" hair, too dry. Now I know, I needed some special factors to make this work, and in 2 weeks I gathered them :D First I realized I didn't use hairspray ( -.- ) 'Good one there Kyra, not amateur at all..' Then I watched Zoe's video when she does several hairstyles ( here ) and I saw that it's better to apply some before doing the ponytail. Factor numero 3 was that I need a hair that is more "used" than only 2 days. And now what it does to my hair is great, although I still think if I had longer hair I could pull this off better, but that's a thing I can't change so quickly. I will have a makeup post where I used this baby on my hair so you'll see it in action ;)
Do you have a sea salt spray, or any other texturising product that you love? Tell me in the comments! xx, Kyra

mascara - recent favourite -

Helloo everybody! I know, being lazy again, but we're getting towards the end of school and it is just hectic over there. However I am trying to make a new agenda for myself and be more productive! 
Anyways todays post. I don't know if I have mentioned that I am quite a mascara girl. ( WOAH what a suprise..) And I just repurchased an old favourite. I think if you're not new to the beauty blogging/vlogging world you'll be like: What a bore! But I just have to praise this : Maybelline The Falsies ! Yes yes yes! I love the packaging, the brush, the substance of it and it has a nice price, so what more a girl can ask for?! 
Maybelline has a lot of mascaras but I prefer this over the others because of the shape and "curliness" of the wand. I just found it working amazingly, creating curls just as well as volume.

#2014BloggerChallenge the perks of being an ombre

Hey there! :) I am SOOO sorry for the short hiatus that happened here, I was just a little busy bee with everything else. However I didn't want to "forget" or postpone this topic of the #2014BloggerChallenge, which is hair. Yes if you scroll down a little you'll see that I recently did a hair post ( seriously like a fortune-teller or something! ), but anyways I am attempting an other one as well. It'll be a more chatty thing. I would like to talk about being an ombre. And I don't mean the constant battle if I should dye it back, but more the connection with outfits. Since the 3/4 of my hair is blonde, I can wear more black and dark colours ( even on full). I don't want to say when someone has dark hair they can't wear black, but I think the contrast is better. And it saved me from so many pain and misery that when I went out, and didn't have the time to put together accessories, I could just put on a black dress with my leather jacket, brush out my hair and I was good to go. I just LOVED it! 
On the other hand now we're almost at the end of spring and going to summer. When summer, I tend to wear more white and some colours, so I am still debating if for the summer I should go back to brown or not? Please help me with some comments, what's your opinion, what should I do? Because wearing colours and having two-coloured hair is too much for me, but I still get compliments, so I am really confused. Whatever :D I don't know if this post was of some help to you, but I just thought I will sit here and type a bit about my hair:)

#2014BloggerChallenge THE VAMPS

Yes, yes, yes! This particular topic of the #2014BloggerChallenge is one of my favourite! It's all about the music. I can't even describe how much my life depends on music. I need it when I'm happy, when I'm sad...in every mood. I need it when I travel, when I get ready, when I go to partying, so basically everytime. And in this post I will talk about my loves, my heroes, future-husbands... THE VAMPS :D Yes ladies, I know, not sure if a minute of silence or screaming would be more appropriate now. However these adorable boys who made music ( cover videos ) over youtube, now has a whole album that came out! And I have to tell you it is AH-MA-ZING!!! You just need to listen to it. It is kind of indie-rocky-popy, so just great in one! :) And do I have to mention that they're British? ;) Here's their youtube channel.
I hope you'll like them as much as I do and comment me some good music that I can listen to :)
