Them 10 Moments in 2014

This year was great. Full of unexpected moments and moments that will forever stay in my mind. My life has changed completely and now I am sat in my room and I feel almost speechless. I am happy I can even put these few words down.
There is a lot on my mind now, for example thoughts like: "How fast did this year gone by?! What have I done?! Why have I done all that?!" I just want to go back in time now and relive it all again so I can look at everything from another perspective. Enjoy every minute of everything I thought was stressful and miserable just as Tim in About Love. I am sure I am not the only one who would like to do so. Perhaps Hermione could borrow me her time traveling necklace. But since we know that ain´t really realistic I will just go back using photographs that we know I take 24/7 and share my favorite moments of 2014 with you that way. Shall we begin?!

Family Matters

Family is the most important thing it the world. That is what we are told, that is what were learned and what we believe in. It doesn´t matter if it is your blood or not. Those closest to you who love you are your family. I am lucky enough to have great and supportive parents and big over control taking sister . This last year I barely had a chance to spend some time with them and it was especially hard for all of us to be together  at the same place at the same time.
That is exactly why being with them these days through holidays is so precious. We are walk freaks so we use every single free time to go out and walk together. Even just our presence that we feel is enough to make each of our hearts melt.

NEW to my body care

Avon has always been one of my favorite places to shop for cosmetic products. I am barely ever disappointed with them. So when I got this set for Christmas I was more then happy. Same with Yves Rocher products. That is also something I got. I am totally in love with their shower gels and I also already wrote about my obsession with their coffee scented one.

OOTD: Oversized and High

A few posts ago I wrote about my red pumps that I was hoping to wear loads this Christmas and I did. I have put together really simple and comfortable outfit and then added my high heels. I do like this outfit A LOT so I thought I´ll share a few pics of it with you.

Merry and Bright

I guess I was just a really good girl this year because I had one of the nicest Christmas Eves. Delicious meal, beautiful family, a lot of laughter and incredible presents. I did feel a bit old whilst opening my gifts, because I got home ware, cooking and baking things, super expensive perfumes and some clothes. Doesn´t it make me seem oooold ?! ahah. Oh and my loved once seemed really happy with gifts I gave them this year as well which made the whole evening even better.

Them Red Once

Christmas in 21st Century aka Internet Favs

Let´s face it and be honest with each other. As much as we want to spend the time through Christmas holidays with our friends and family, chill down, relax and enjoy the great meal, we will end up in a food coma lying down in the bed or on the floor (that is optional) on  our notebooks, phones or pads. Sad but true. We really are a different generation and I did try to get away from the technology last year but NO success. That is why I thought of making a list of my Internet Favorites which includes bloggers, youtubers, vloggers and some websites that I have been on for last couple of years through this season and definitely will be this year as well.

I wish I wore : Festive pants

Cigarette pants are my obsession. It is hard for me to find some that would look good on my body type so till I find them I thought I´ll show you how I´d style them this festive season. They are really chic and trendy so don´t be afraid to wear them! It is a great timeless piece to have. Just saying.

Am I too old ?!

I love cooking, baking and anything to do in the kitchen. And having a great book to cook from is the best feeling I have. Sometimes I get more excited about new cook book then about a new pair of shoes. Which is A LOT. Today I got a new one for a collection. And I actually started making MY OWN collection of cook books. Not my mothers or our family books. MINE. That is so exciting! ahah. Does it mean that I am getting real old or is that just that I love food and making it?! I don´t know, but I thought that in case there are some of you as obsessed as I am I will make a post showing my fav cook books and sharing some of my fav chefs, food vloggers and food bloggers (since I am one of them ).

Walk down the memory lane

Having troubles is something we all go through. Obviously. What is life without a few problems and complications. Well lately I have been having troubles with writing my blog posts. I have finally made a design and style for my blog that I am happy with (we´ll see how long that will last since we all know that I get bored of everything real quick) and I wanted to go full power with my posts and suddenly, I don´t know what to write about.

The outside is important too

Yes, I think that the outside matters as well. And no, I am not talking about someone´s character. I am talking about clothing and outfits. 
When I was younger I considered coats and jackets as a necessary at cold/winter months and I wore them just so I don´t freeze. But now that I am older I know that they can be statement or main piece of your outfit and they can also change or complete the look. I also became kind of obsessed with them and I have to keep reminding myself whilst wandering around store that I ain´t have enough space in my closet to get all the coats I like. If I didn´t do so I´d have to move my bed out to the street and sleep there so I have the storage I need.

1 year, 1923 views , 75 videos

There is nothing better then realizing that you are on YouTube for EXACTLY a year. 
Well yeah I was on youtube for years now but as I explained on my channel in many videos before I have always canceled my channels and deleted all the videos but this time I haven´t. I decided to celebrate my YouTube birthday on a day when my first video that you can find on my channel was uploaded and I totally forgot that 5 of December is the day. 
Well ... I can´t explain how I really feel. I can only say that this year was super fun, full of changes and I am really happy that my videos were kind of mapping that time of my life when I went through the biggest life changes and I have it all on my channel.

OOTD: All about That Scarf

The weather outside is frightful.... Or not. And that is actually making me sad. In case you have seen my Vlogmas day 1 I said there that I want to freeze now that it is December. But I am not. I am actually a bit warmer these days then I was for last few days of November. Which means that I still get to wear skirts and dresses without getting my butt freezed.

Aloft Hotel Launch Party

Last night I had a chance to go for a Aloft Hotel Launch event with Frances  and we had the best time. It was a night full of music, free drinks, stylish people and fun. Oh and photo booth sessions. 
This party was kind of a last minute event in my schedule since Frances texted me like four hours before the party started and we had no idea if we should go or not. But then I though "Hm, music! I love music! I should try it.". And so we went and we were really glad we did. No really! We were SUPER glad we did!

First of all, as we got in my mind was blown away by the combination of old architecture and modern touches. Plus all those party lights made the building look absolutely amazing.

I have been loving it all

It is already the end of November and we all know what that means! Loads of November Favourites videos and posts are coming up these days. And so is mine ahah.
I filmed a video for you over on my YouTube channel and I decided to make a bit extended version here on my blog.

What do you carry around?!

I came out with something new for my blog. Something I don´t think I have ever done. I took a few photos of what I had in my bag today as I was going out to run some errands.
I have seen many bloggers doing this kind of post and it always made me go "oh interesting", "wow that is lovely" or "I have that too" so I hope my post will make you think something similar.

Long time no Instagrams

Instagram is an app that became one of the ways that we communicated together. I love to share some of my favourites, obsessions or even moments of my life with my friends and some of my readers. I am not going to get too deep on how I feel  about technologies and ways of our communication these days (maybe next time) cause all I wanted to do was share some of my Instagram photos from last couple of weeks (in case you ain´t follow DeniVev on instagram yet) .

Festive Kiss

Dark Lips = My Obsession ! If you read my blog for a while now you know that. I like to try out different combinations of lipsticks I own and every now and then I come up with a shade I am in love with. Seriously! If there was a way I could marry to this lip colour...I would! I have been wearing these two together for a few weeks now and I had to make a whole post about it. I just had to!

I know that there is a lipstick by MAC and also by NARS in similar shade that I have created but they seem to be too expensive to me. And you know that if there is a cheaper way of getting what I want, I go for it. ahah
So combination of NYC Lipstain in Forever Mine Wine and Alverde Lip Pencil in 30 RED has been my essential lately. It makes that perfect fall/winter and festive ready colour. Plus I feel like it goes with my skin tone pretty nicely.
You can find both of these lip products in your local drugstores and you won´t pay more then 3 pounds for each. I personally found them both on sale and I paid 1 € for each. Isn´t that great?!

What are your favourite fall/winter lipsticks? Do you own maybe these lip products?
Until next time keep safe and live your life to the fullest !

OOTD: Wednesday Fanciness

I love to dress up fancy. But fancy means something else in every once dictionary. For me fancy meant that I´d actually wear a dress or skirt or anything a bit girlier lately. I wore a lot of leggings and jeans these days so the fact that I´ ve put a skirt on AND three days in a row was a holiday! That is why I thought I´d share this causal but still fancy outfit with my blogger loves.
 I have been loving tartan for some time now as you all now! And I finally found the perfect scarf for all of my outfits. I got it at Primark for 6 pounds and it is reversible so you have slightly different print on the other side. It is one of those big blanky kinds and it is sooo super warm. Ever since I bought this scarf there were maybe two outfits that were missing this lovely piece.  And all the colours it has are the perfect colour scheme for my wardrobe, especially through autumn/winter.
 This kind of outfit is my safe uniform. You know that kind that you go for whenever you are in a rush or you are too lazy to come up with something new and original. You saw me wear this shirt about hundred times already but it is one of those basic pieces that can not miss from any woman´s closet.

What do you think about my outfit? Would you wear this? Oh and what about those cheeky socks in a boots that peak out a bit and add a bit of colour that this outfit needed? Are you into peaking socks? They keep your feet extra warm after all.
I hope you are having good week so far.
Until next time, Keep safe and live your life to the fullest.

#COStyle 2014

In a short-cut, Celebration of Style is a three day festival of style taking place in venues across Liverpool bringing together some of the style influences from the fashion, art and photography world, including Matthew Williamson himself. 
I have been lucky enough to take part at this style event on Thursday and Friday (13th and 14th of November) and I had loads of fun. I went (as always) with my fashion partner in crime Frances. We started with a launch party on Thursday night that was taking place at one of my favourite art stores in Liverpool Nook and Cranny on Bold street. Here we had a chance to see some of the work from new art and fashion talents as Wicker Wings, Sarah Rafferty and a few more. The atmosphere was great as there were loads of other bloggers, journalists and other arty or fashion-y people. It was all a great change after my lonely evenings at home and wearing a fancy clothes instead of PJs was a great feeling as well. 
 And then on Friday we went for an Influence of Style expo where you had a chance to take part at seminar talks and then browse through exhibition of some great brands and stores as Nook and Cranny, The Leather Satchel co, Illamasqua, MATALAN, The Body Shop and many many more. It was great chance to see a few of the best pieces from brands, stores and we also had a chance to get our hair or make-up done by professionals who even gave you a few tips on what and how to do. 
I tried my FIRST cake pop, we had our portraits done by lovely Rheannon Ormond from Nook and Cranny, we chatted with some lovely people from MATALA about their Alphabet Scarves for Alder Hey Charity support and took a scarfie selfie. After that we used a opportunity to get our make-up done by Benefit makeup artists. I personally talked with my "make-up lady" about every single product she used on me and she had a few great recommends for me (make-up and carrier wise) which I am super grateful for. Oh and the best part was probably when I stood a few meters from Matthew Williamson. Even seeing such big person from fashion industry in person was surreal and then seeing how down to earth he is.... oh wow. 
 Over all I had a great time meeting new bloggers and people from the industry I adore the most (art and fashion). We did have some troubles getting to the Fridays exhibition and finding it, but I guess it was our own lack of luck. 
As last I´d like to thank Frances and the whole COStyle team for making these two days of my life so nice and for giving me a goody bag :) . 

Until next time keep safe and live your life to the fullest loves!
