Winter Essentials. | Blogmas Day 6-9
As you can probably tell, I cheated! The stress of not completing enough blogmas days has got the better of me.
I promise this will be my only time I cheat! I just need to get everything back on track before being able to post at ease again.
*
So what I’m going to write about today is the things I think are essential for winter and the festive holidays!
So to know more, continue reading.
SKIN CARE.
Dry skin is always the main problem during winter because the air’s so dry and your skin gets dry and flaky, so a super moisturizing moisturizer would be awesome!
I’m sorry if the products are mostly high-end, they tend to be nicer and it’s the festive season, splurge!

As you can most probably tell, I’ve decided to do a “Song of the day” and “Video of the day”.
I watch tons of YouTube videos and some of them are amazing so I want to share them with you!
Please leave me a feedback, whether you like them or not.
Video of the day!
This dude’s so hilarious, I thought y’all should watch it as well.
Song of the day!
I just came across this song and thought that it was absolutely beautiful. Hope you enjoy it as much too!
How To : Tumblr Girl Fashion | Blogmas Day 5.
I figured that my follow-up to Part 1 was really really horrible so here’s another one!
First off, what’s in the tumblr trend?
Muscle tanks, high-waisted shorts, stacked armcandy, lots of jewelry, vans, oversized pullovers.
Follow that trend!
Here are some pictures and options for you, so read on!
Oversized cardigans as well! Knitted is always a great option.
Here are some top options.
Forever 21 The Beatles Muscle Tank.
Forever 21 Standout Nope Muscle Tank.
Doe Meow Face Cropped Muscle Tee.
The Laundry Room Flag American Jetsetter Crop Muscle Tee.
I’m Looking For Trouble Tank from Nasty Gal.
Grungy girls would love this!
Corner Shop Raw Bottom Muscle Tee.
Next, outerwear!
They love knitted, oversized ones. It gives an illusion of a smaller body (if it fits you right.) and makes you seem small and cute. Also, it seems like it’s your boyfriend’s (if it’s in the boy-ish color)
Most of them would go for the ones that open in the centre, not the full piece that you have to pull over your head!
Coincidence & Chance Chunky Cable-Knit Cardigan.
Staring At Stars Folk Diamond Sweater.
Sparkle & Fade Boyfriend Snap-Front Cardigan.
Dolce Vita Corvan Cable Cardi.
Nollie Slouchy Button Front Cardigan.
Roxy 5G Oversized Shaker Sweater.
You get the gist of it!
Next, bottoms!
They quite like short shorts / high-waisted shorts. This shows off their slender legs and prove how many hours they’ve been spending at the gym.
Or maybe they’re just blessed.
Bullhead Denim Co Orange Single Roll Shorts.
I think that these sort of colors can really emphasize on your tan, if you have one.
One Teaspoon Bandit Cutoff Shorts.
I think shorts are particularly easy to find, and you get the idea about the kind to find, so I’ll stop here!
One common thing in all of them would be accessories!
Lots of armcandy action there!
Here are some of my favorite options!
There’s a ton of great tumblr-like accessories over at puravida, so head down and take a look!
Whether it’s a cutesy ring or a statement piece, be sure to have at least 3 rings altogether on both hands!
Knuckle Rings are particularly trendy.
Their choice of necklaces tend to be the longer ones, which hang till the middle of their boobies.
They also have pretty big pendants.
Last but not least… Bags!
Their bags tend to be the slouchy ones that hang off their shoulder.
Or just anything that hangs off your shoulder.
Alright, that’s all I have for you today!
I hope you’ve enjoyed this post and found it useful.
Stay tuned for more!

Video Of The Day!
It’s terribly hilarious, I almost fell of my chair (legit) when I watched it.
Presents for HER! | Blogmas Day 4.
Because the female population is pretty hard to please and more preparation would be needed, I’ll be doing presents for HER first!
BEAUTY ITEMS :
{They might be a bit pricey, but Christmas only happens once a year so don’t go scrimping!}
Buxom Shimmer and Shake Lip Polishes & Creams.
Buxom lip glosses have the reputation of being really amazing as they’re not sticky and have a fabulous finish.
Plus they come in so many different shades, it allows the recipient to play around with it a lot!
Eve Lom Rescue Mask.
From what I read in the description, this is really suitable for ladies who suffers from breakouts and irritable skin problems.
It seems really luxurious and effective, almost like a miracle product.
Korres Lip Butter Glaze Collection.
Especially useful during the winter season, this will soften all lips, keeping them smooth and youthful.
And get ready for a New Year’s kiss, or a mistletoe moment!
Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Face Polish.
I feel that face exfoliators should be a staple in everyone’s bathroom.
Sometimes, there are days in which your face would feel gunky and bumpy, and it feels really unsettling while you’re cleansing your face.
So a face exfoliator will come into action and smooth out everything, making your face feel smooth and soft!
Also, Laura Mercier is an amazing brand.
Marc Jacobs The Lolita Palette.
This is the ultimate luxurious eyeshadow!
(According to Fleur) It’s really buttery and smooth. The color saturation is really great as well!
I would absolutely love to get my hands on this palette.
However, the prices of makeup here in Singapore is mad crazy!
CLOTHING.
Tay Bomber Jacket.
I admit, this is just something I want.
But I think it’d be pretty cute for those teenage girls who are on the rocker side.
Designed together with Tay Jardine from We Are The In Crowd, this seals the deal as the punk / rock jacket.
This can also give a boy-ish feel to a girly outfit!
Particularly useful for the winter season as well!
Brandy Melville Go Away Beanie.
Winter season always calls for a beanie!
Nollie Slouchy Button Front Cardigan.
The colors on it seem so super Christmas-y and festive and that is always loved.
Plus the knitted material would keep you warm and feeling all cozy.
This will pretty much go well with anything!
Jack BB Dakota Jacket Tracie French Terry and Quilted PU Bomber.
(Phew, what a mouthful.)
It’s a little like a Tay bomber jacket, but for those who want more color and those who want to look just that little bit more classy.
Honestly, it looks like something Fleur would wear.
Abercrombie & Fitch Emma Sweater.
How cute is this sweater? I think all girls will adore this sweater, who can pass up on dogs?
Plus it’ll be so amazing for the winter, spring and autumn seasons!
I feel so warm just looking at it. Cozy alert!
ACCESSORIES.
Rebecca Minkoff Hudson Moto Mini Bag.
It’s a really cute crossbody bag. I feel that the fabric and print on the bag makes it seem really classy.
The buckle at the bottom is really unique too!
It isn’t too bag and neither is it too small, it’s perfect for the on-the-go moments where you have to rush out the door but need some place to store your wallet, phone and stuff like that.
Kate Spade Cobble Hill Little Murphy.
This feels like the universal bag. Anyone would look good with it!
The classy girl, girly girl or the always-running-around girl would do well with this bag.
I just can’t imagine anyone who can’t suit this.
Tiffany & Co Interlocking Circles Pendant.
Such a classy and elegant piece, the rose gold adds a really nice sparkle and extra “oomph”.
I think it’ll be really nice to give this to your girlfriend / wife.
If you really can’t think of anything, get a….
GIFT CARD!
Be it ikea, sephora, Lush or whatever, make sure that it’d be something they’d use!
And please put a decent amount of money in it for the recipient to spend!
Alright, I hope you’ve enjoyed this post and found it useful!
Stay tuned for blogmas day 5.

Stocking Stuffers! | Blogmas Day 3.
[If you’re wondering where Day 2 is, I’m still getting pictures for it, so patience!]
It’s December, so obviously everyone would start thinking about Christmas and what presents to get for everyone.
If you want some tips or an easy way out, carry on reading this post!
Crabtree & Evelyn Holiday Hand Care Set of 3.
At 25g each, it’ll be a great stuffer as they’re small and you get to stuff 3 stockings with just ONE product!
Downside, they aren’t in the permanent line so if anyone loves it and wants to get it, better do so before the holidays end!
Stila Color Me Glossy Lip Glaze Set.
These come in a pack of 3, which in turns come in another pack of 3!
At the back of the label of the mini packs, written on it is a “to: ____” and “from: ___” which is great!
If you’re feeling a little less generous, you can always open the pack up, take 1 lip glaze and put a ribbon on it, there you have it!
Who can pass on a Stila lip glaze? No one.
Ciate Tree Trinkets.
How cute are those mini nail polishes? They might seem more like Christmas tree decorations, but it’ll be cute to find one of these in a stocking!
Plus, they come in a set of 6. That means you get to have 6 stuffers in just one box.
The ball casing also provides the receiver with a chance to express their creativity and use it for next year’s Christmas!
Sephora Lollipop Lipgloss.
This is more of aesthetic purposes.
A little lollipop with the bling and glitz, it’ll be rather interesting to find it in a stocking!
Joy To The World Ceramic Mug.
How cute is this mug?
It’ll be great for anyone! Especially those tea / coffee addicts. Great for hot cocoa during the winter time!
Bacon Bandages.
I know, this is nothing “festive” and absolutely unrelated to Christmas, but I thought this was pretty quirky and cute!
Everyone (almost) loves bacon and it’ll be so funny to have a bacon wrapped around your finger!
I think it’ll be especially appreciated by the younger kids.
Ikea Gift Card.
Honestly, I love the Ikea food centre. Meatballs and salmon and all those good stuff always leave me wanting more!
Also, there are so many cute items in there that I’d love to buy, so I thought this would be amazing for the recipient to receive as it’ll be really useful!
Lush Chocolate Whipstick Lip Balm.
This would be amazing for all chocolate lovers!
It comes in a cute packaging as well, I feel like all the Lush lip balms are great as stuffers.
Their lip scrubs are amazing as well!
Starbucks Stainless Steel Tumbler.
Who can pass up on a green tumbler?
I’m not sure how this works, but when you bring a Starbucks tumbler to a Starbucks outlet, you get something in return with your order.
I personally think that it’d be a pleasant surprise to receive this – especially for those Starbucks lovers!
Nigellissima.
For those mother’s or aspiring MasterChef’s (even juniors!), I think that this recipe book would be amazing for them.
With sooooo many recipes in there, it’d be a dream for those who absolutely love cooking.
(You can get them to cook for you too!)
Alright, so here’s just a few ideas on what to get as stocking stuffers!
Hope you’ve enjoyed this post and found it useful!

Blogmas Day 1!
HOW TO LOOK LIKE A TUMBLR GIRL.
A loose t-shirt, highwaisted shorts and a sock bun.
(Well wasn’t that simple.)
You NEED to get a tan.
Natural tan or sprayed, up to you. Just don’t go overboard and end up looking a little like…
AHHHH!
Beachy waves or straight hair styles are pretty trendy for tumblr girls.
There are some tutorials on YouTube showing you how to get those curls, or you could use a sea salt spray!
It’s really simple to look like them. Fashion wise, it’s basically the same and read this post on the makeup section!
I apologise if I haven’t been posting much.
Writer’s block? I just can’t seem to think of any things to write about.
Sad.
Stay tuned for blogmas!
