Outfit Of The Day ♡


Hey guys! So today I had some fun with my friends, as my school was hosting a type of fair, and my cheerleading team and I got to perform our routine in front of the school, which was an incredible adrenaline rush and it all went great! I thought I would share the outfit I wore when I was walking around with friends, as I thought maybe I could give you guys some inspiration on outfits that are cute but comfortable at the same time. Please keep in mind that I live in Switzerland, and it's still really cold because of this crazy cold wave over Europe. But I hope you guys enjoy!


My denim button-up and black jeggings are from Zara, and my burgundy circle scarf is from H&M. I also wore a plain black leather jacket over my button-up and my white converse high-tops!


My beloved bag is from Rebecca Minkoff (review on my blog!) and I was super happy because there was an American Candy stand so I stocked up on some goodies :)


And here's the makeup and makeup products I wore during the day, I went for a nice natural look, focusing more on the face than the eyes. The picture was taken when I got back home, so my makeup's a little faded - sorry!

Mini Haul ♡


Hey everyone! First of all I'd like to apologize for not posting for two days - but I was busy with some tests I had to study for, and I would just like to warn you that I probably won't be able to get a post a day up since I have tons of tests to revise for. 

So anyways, today I went to Zara looking for some pants, because it's seriously so cold in Switzerland right now. Apparently it hasn't been this cold in Spring in 40 years! So as it's this cold, I had to stock up on some new pants since I was getting pretty bored of wearing my other ones. Let me just say that it wasn't as simple as you might think to find pants in Zara, mainly because I'm insecure about my thighs and I pretty much thought that every pair looked bad on me. But anyways, I ended up getting two pairs, and both jeggings. Jeggings are my lifesavers on lazy days, they look great with sweaters or comfy shirts. 


The first pair I got was kind of an up-cycled motorcycle style, and these are so comfortable and trendy! They look great with a plain white shirt and a black cardigan or blazer. 


The second pair is just plain black jeggings, just because these are pretty much a must-have and go with anything. 



Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this mini haul and let's hope the weather is better where you live!

Tunes To Get You Healthy ♫


Am I the only one who hates running? It's so boring, but every time I do it I feel exhilarated afterwards, and proud of myself because I know that I just did something healthy. So, to help any of you out there who feel the same way as me, I decided to share some of my favorite songs to listen to while I'm running. Enjoy! ♫


  • How to Be a Heartbreaker - Marina and the Diamonds
  • Global Concepts - Robert De Long 
  • Radioactive - Imagine Dragons
  • Get Lucky - Daft Punk 
  • Kiss You - One Direction 
  • Can't Hold Us - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis 
  • I love you so - Cassius 
  • Oh no - Marina and the Diamonds



I also found a great album called "50 best of Jogging Vol.1" by the Gym All-Stars. This is great because it comes with 50 songs (covered- not the originals) and they tell you if this song is for the warm up, mid-tempo, up-tempo, cooldown etc.. Hope you guys enjoyed this post and are now motivated to go running! X, Emma 

Healthy And Yummy Breakfast ♡


Hey everyone! Today I am going to be sharing my favorite breakfast of all time with you! ♡ I eat this pretty much every day, as it is healthy, and fills you up to the right amount. For this meal you will need:
  • Some cereals (I use Kellogg's special K with dried berries and strawberries)
  • Some fruits of your choice (I picked blueberries, but you can pick whatever you want)
  • Some natural yogurt. 
  • Some honey 
  • A bowl 
  • A spoon

Once you've got all of these things, just pour the cereal and the blueberries into the bowl, and then go ahead and add the amount of yogurt that you want, and then the amount of honey that you want! 
Doesn't that look sooo good? ♡
And there's the finished product!

Hope you guys enjoyed this super simple breakfast 'recipe' and make sure to tell me if you enjoyed it and if I should post more nutrition-related articles! X, Emma ♡

Rebecca Minkoff 5 Zip Mini


Yesterday I was so excited - I got my very first Rebecca Minkoff! I've been in love with Rebecca Minkoff's purses ever since I laid my eyes on them, and I finally decided to get one! I got a Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip mini in periwinkle. I was hesitating between getting the black one but I just couldn't resist how beautiful and chic this one looked. Now, before you guys get confused, I would like to point out that, yes, this bag does have 4 zippers and not 5. This is because the old 5 zip mini models had an extra zipper in the back, but Rebecca Minkoff changed it and there are now 4 zippers.

This bag is absolutely gorgeous, and great for shopping trips and quick errands! Two of the four zippers are usable (very top one - the big compartment, and the top one on front of the bag - small compartment great for keeping gum, cash, change, etc..), and all the zippers come with a tassel attached to them. The bag also comes with a strap, which isn't adjustable, and has a very chic silver chain to accompany it. If you wish you can remove the strap and wear the bag as a clutch.

The bottom of the bag also has 4 studs to set the bag down (as you can see in the picture above), and inside the bag you will find an authentication card and a super cute 100% polyester duster bag.


The interior of the bag is 100% polyester and matches the duster bag, and the outside is genuine leather.
