Faux Leather Bottoms for every day

 I don' t think I can actually put into words how much I have been enjoying these faux leather leggings over the last few months. It is just such a great everyday piece. Gives every outfit a little extra edge and keeps me comfortable no matter the activity I get up to. Shopping, errands, brunch, work. date...

Always on the Run

Gino D'Acampo Liverpool

The other night I went for a lovely Christmas night out with my salon colleagues and we made some great plans. Loads of drinks and dancing, but to prepare ourselves we needed food. As most of us lived in Liverpool a long time now and been to pretty much every restaurant we knew we enjoy, we wanted to try something new. So as we all love Italian Gino D'Acampo seemed like a brilliant idea. Which it ended up being.

Wear a Crown, you deserve it

One of my favorite ways to accessories these days, is one hundred percent wearing a headband. They are so in and cute. Add a little something to any outfit and make you look like you are wearing your own crown.
I have been experimenting with a lot of different styles and thought I would show you some of my favorite once.

Technic : Get Gorgeous

Who doesn´t love a killer highlighter? Makes your face look all glowy, fresh, like you definitelly had enough sleep and water. If you choose the right shade, it even complimets your eyes and makes it pop. As soon as the sunlight hits your cheek bone.... Bam. It is basically my favorite part of make- up routine. At least these last couple of months.
I have definitelly tried a fair share of products and I know what shades suit me the most. Purples and pinks not only go with my skin complection, they also work with my eyes and hair color. Without sounding too cheesy and obsessed- they honestly create a little symphony of tones. Colors.

Kirsty Doyle the Fashion Boss of Liverpool?

One thing I love the most about Liverpool, is finding new talents, brands or events. That is why I was so amazed by this woman and her company, after I found out about her last year (she was established by then for years) . Kirsty Doyle and her fashion brand is Liverpool made and based. She is doing an amazing job and there are a lot of things that inspire me about her. That is why I wanted to share with you, why you should check her out.

Mood

Just a little mood board for January to get inspired. You know this is something I do regularly to help me with my house, outfits and more. I am basically just a huge sucker for mood boards.

Love,

Deni.

Get that December Inspiration

 Hello lovelies! Guess what? As it is a new month, December actually, I have a massive inspiration board ready. Each month I try to show you few things that inspire me and helps me with fashion shopping and decorations. All comes from my favorite sources, pinterest and tumblr.

Autumnal Inspiration

There are many sources for my inspiration. From influencers online to people watching while having a cup of coffee. Every now and again I like to share some of these with you all. See where my head is at i guess or what makes me go or perhaps what helps me when shopping.

 Love

Summer Lovin

As summer is officially over and nights are colder and darker....

I have a little look back at my summer here. It has been full of ups and downs. Great memories and big chances. Even if they are not physical, I have changed. Some of my plans and ideas of future are different now. A lot of unexpected options have opened up and I am super excited bout them.
I have lots and lots of content planned for you all through fall and winter. Get ready for my little blogging comeback and now...
Let' s get a look back

Granny Look

I have been wanting to change my hair for a while now. The whole smudged root thing has been in for som time now and yes it is real practical as it keeps me from having to touch up my roots 24/7. Now I am not saying that I suddenly have plenty of time to spend of doing my hair, but the change has really been needed.
Now even though I am a hairdresser myself and I tend to do my hair alone- help has been needed. So I used my holidays back in the hometown to get this blonde straw I call my hair sorted out.
The plan was simple. Get rid of the dark roots and make it all somewhat even with high/low-light situation.

Tone in Tone

There is such a large scale of colors and shades and tones in the world. One might find it difficult to combine pieces of clothes together. I mean it is a simple task, yet there are few little tricks to master it. As it is winter time, my favorite thing is to layer up. That way you are ready for any occassion a day may bring. Keeping it tone in tone and only adding little touches of other complimentary color is safest thing possible.
Here let me show you loves...

Here is grey scale where I also put together materials. Jersey and fluff, sued and leather. Why not. Perfect for comfy and super stylish girl.

A little retro black number. As these jeans have crazy great design including color, you can use that as its complimentary color and accessorize. Have fun with the little things. 

Blue is my favorite color so why not go full on with it ay? Yet again mixing different materials is a key to keep the look interesting . Add few golds or silvers and you really are giving a story of a stylish woman.

How do you make your daily styling easier?
Let me know. Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fulest

Q&A get to know DeniVev

One thing I love the most about writing a blog is seeing our little family grow. Three years ago we turned into huge group and I have never been prouder of any of my other projects. Since then I knew every member of the fam kept coming back and showing love and support I appreciate. These days we still grow and I constantly get surprised by how many people are still interested in reading my rants. And as I am sure many of you have no clue how it all started and who I actually am, i will sum it up for you today and I'll answer few questions people asked me in order to get to know me. If you would like consider this as getting to know your new friend.

It all started in 2010. Back when there were only few ladies known for writing about fashion and noone knew that blogging can be actual career. Sweet Lady Lollipop was still just high school student like me, A cup of Style was all about Lucy and Chiara Ferragni was a solo and one lady blog and not a world known brand. Few years later there thousands maybe milions of girls and boys trying to make it and fight for readers. I loved fashion. Reading fashion magazines was my religion. If I could I would switch it for Sunday church my mum used to take me to. As I always wanted to get into fashion industry either as designer or journalist I figured a blog would be great idea to get this love out my system. As my friends neither sister shared same obsession I figured maybe someone on internet will. So DeniVev was born.



Back when this was best quality and selfie I could take-using my phone- I shared articles from fashion magazines, my outfit ideas put together on polyvore.com or my very very sad and too casual outfits. -my mom used to shop for me so I dressed like a 40 year old with no sense of what figure and right fit means. Later on I grew, my english got much better -which I do believe the blog helped me with as I kept trying to write everything here in english- fashion still nothing famous and I was still in high school. My theme grew from fashion into fashion and lifestyle. You could read bout music, traveling, life, boys, friendships, recipes and places I recommended to see.



It was all getting nice form and shape considering I was barely 17. By 18 I had high number of readers which kept me motivated. I never wanted to become famous or do this as full time job. I do have too many hobbys -including my current job- to settle for just writing haha. I did actually create a YouTube channel which got attention of people round world. Before I knew it I made internet friends in England, Ireland, Canada, France, Texas, Nashville, Spain etc. Felt like I had little online family.
As I turned 18 I moved to England. I never been happier and prouder of my blog. All of my friends in Liverpool were bloggers and I had a chance to attend events I never thought of. Then life happened. Jobs and college. Turn of career and here I am. Hairstylist, writer, blogger, amateur photographer, hobby model, music and travel enthusiast.
7 years later and still going strong and loving my tiny little space where I share rants on anything a modern woman can be interested in. Plus I do have a lot of plans I know you all will be interested about.
That pretty nicely answers question: How did you even get into blogging?



Another thing I get asked a lot would be:
Who helped you to create the visual of the blog? 
Noone. Everything you ever saw (except for few photos my friends took for me) was my work. I spent hours and hours browsing help server and pages to self learn how to deal with my platform. How to make it look as good as possible. I have gone through all pink stage too. Whole blog was this deep dark pink shade with borocco feel, then very scrapbook looking and only then I realized I wanted simplicity and WHITE. There has been a lot of tries and errors for sure.
I even got to help two new starters with their platforms. One on the girls has sadly given up quicker then she got anywhere. Kami from Her Way is still going though!

And onto more of your questions:

How did you cope with big move to foreign country?
Hard! It was hard! I know I was dead excited and saw a lot of opportunities that were ahead. I dreamed of life in England since I was like 9. Think Jamie Oliver and Harry Potter got too into my brain. I remember my first night here though. Reality hit me pretty hard. I landed bout 4 p.m. at John Lennon Airport and by 6 I was standing in the shower with tears coming down my face, thinking what the hell have I just done? Left all my friends, mum, sister, the school I was gonna go to and everything I have known for 18 years . And now I don' t really have a plan for future, no idea where I actually am or what I am going to do to survive. As you can tell I am still alive and happier then ever. Things turned out perfectly. Am in full time job doing something that has been my hobby from nursery. Live in cute flat with the guy I 'kind of really like' and friends who I am super proud of for being themselves and conquering the world.

What are your favorite places in Liverpool?
There is many! And they all have their reasons. For day time definitely visit Leaf on Bold street, Evening time Matou in Pier Head or Cosy Club in L1. In case you feel like staying outside and breathing fresh air, water is real close to my heart. Crosby beach and its neighborhood give me amazing piece. It feels like I am a girl in those old Rosamunde Pilcher movies. But the other side of city has something in store too. Otterspool. Beautiful greenery, lots of people and water. Plus a big sentimental feeling.

Favorite place IN THE WORLD you been?
Well, as much as I loved all the places I traveled to so far. Two stayed deep in my heart. Real deep. So deep I think of spending my pension there one day haha. Sorento and Capri in Italy. Love. I don' t even know what to say about them or how to explain them to you. Its two of the most chilled and stunning places. Just love.


How the hell did you get into hairdressing?! 
Okay, so I did mention I wanted to write and be in the fashion. As these options didn' t seem to work out for me as I planned or would be too expensive , plan B had to be placed. Had to think of something I always loved and could bring me closer to fashion. HAIR! I always did mine and my friends hair. I have been the one for prom hair, braids, colors and first ombres. That meant college was needed to be done and I did apply. I learned so much. I got so hungry for skill and information, I been at college more hours a day and week then home. My own day time classes, I added some evening classes my amazing teacher allowed me to go to and we were lucky enough to have competitions and more. Between two levels I worked in barber shop which sure gave me a lot more skill. Just hungry, hungry and hungry. Thanks to that I got to full time job before I even finished my qualification.. Go me haha

What are the plans for your near future? 5 years or so.
First thing first, I wish to change my location. South on England better get ready for me haha. In 5 years I sure aim to get more salon experience, work with industry greatness and slowly open my business. My more private plans will stay private for now. x


Those would be all questions for now. I did get few suggestions on what to talk about, but these were few actual questions that help to see who I am, where I am and how I got here.
Hope you enjoyed reading through and I' ll talk to you soon again.
Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest

DOn' t waste my time!

Disclaimer! As usual I go from one topic to the other! But that makes me .. ME! And only that way you will truly understand me. Enjoy x

At the age of 21 I have had enough experience with relationships. In general. Friendships, work, men, family, and a lot of people know me cause of my hobbies and profession. It all is a mess!Keeping it all sane, balanced and everyone happy?! That is impossible. That is why I have been let down, disappointed, used or just purely 'efd' over.
That is only natural though guys. I have never met anyone who had life simple. Who would have never gone through any of these problems. You meet people and they often waste your time. Their dramas, attitudes or lies.
And believe it or not, I don' t mean to cry about it in this post. I am actually happy I bump into these humans. They all have a purpose. There is a reason to everything that happens to you and you learn from it. Maybe it doesn' t seem like it at first, but with some time passing, you will realize how that person have changed you. How no argument is ever totally pointless.
With that being said, I would still like to get number of people that seem to love wasting my time to gown down and simply stop! It ain' t fun no more. Cheers ;) lol.

What do you think about these photos though?! 

I know, slight change of topics haha. But honestly, the whole relationships thing.. We can all relate. I just hope some people will realize I have targeted them. And maybe I havent even talked about you , the one reading this, yet you still feel guilty. Better go and do something bout it ha?!

Right... back to my peng pics.

My lovely Maya, you can read bout her here, took these of me the other day. And I really love them. Shows casual and very natural side of me. I didnt glam up big time yet I felt amazing. I am actually a good looking human, Who knew?!

 I did! That is what I keep telling myself every day. I have been through a lot. People around me put me into a lot of situations in which I thought very little about myself. Feeling of embarrassment, sadness, thinking I am ugly, fat, useless and an overall mess. Not all at once necessarily. I do still get almost daily reminders of these thoughts and they do slightly run through my head. That is why I created this as if mantra I repeat to myself. ' I am beautiful, I am confident, I am strong, smart, talented, sexy. I am a diamond! They might shape me, try to cut me and change me. But they will never ever break me!' 

Little something that keeps me going. Helps keeping the tears in as you meet daily or not so usual obstacles.
This unbreakable diamond mantra is something I talked about with my friends during a photo shoot. They agree with me! We should all think of ourselves, life and people around us in this way. You will be tossed around. People will try to change you, make you something you are not etc. But remember they will never break you. As long as you remind yourself what a beautiful unique and shiny thing you are. 

To keep myself separated from all that wrong energy and trying to keep all those bad thoughts, I have about myself, as far away as I can, I had to cut down some people. Make sure they do not waste my time no more. Make sure I think about myself. Put myself and my relationship with ME first. After all Ru Paul says it as it is. If you don' t learn how to love yourself, how the hell are you gonna love somebody else? True. I am working on this relationship every day. There is definitely a progress being made.

So please ask yourself a question. Are you, your own priority? Do you make sure your are happy and comfortable ? No?! Change it. Yes?! Good job you!

 outfit: NEW LOOK shoes, ZARA coat (actual sign 'dont waste my time' at the back), H&M top, PRIMARK leggings (distressed with time and hard work lol), sunnies from old friend EBAY for less then a pound!

 Are you going to let people play around with you?! Or are you gonna make them stop wasting your time?! And theirs. Remind them of who you are. Show them what a strong rock you are. How much you shine without them in your life. That they do not effect you no more. Thats when you will be truly you, be happy and shine.
Love yourself and be your own priority.

Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest.

For my hood diamonds....

How do you choose tho

I love fashion. Shocker right?! Yes I am trying to be funny and sarcastic. Welcome to random rumbles of Deni the DeniVev haha. No now seriously. One of my favorite parts of the day, except for the one where you finally go to bed, is dressing up to finally get out the house.

This might be surprising to some but I really dont spend all my day in gigantic hoodies with laptop in my lap and loud music on. Ay I said.. not ALL day, okay?

Dutch Boxers

I am so not going to adress the whole drama about dutch braids or cornrows being now called NEW trend and boxer braids. We all know they were around for ever now so let´s leave it there.

Thing is I always loved them and wore them. This time since my hair is so short I went for something new and different. I decided to add extensions in to create bigger better effect and make them longer. YES I am sick of short hair and I have longer hair for like second day but I already got so many compliments on me suiting longer lenght. Oh dear haha.

I mean I am not looking as awesome in them as Kardashians or Rita Ora but I do try haha.

Did you give these a go?! What do you think of them? Ever tried them with extensions and experienced the headache when you cant sleep?! I know i did.

Unstil next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest

Clear head and mind

One of the perks of living by water my whole life was, how quickly I distressed the moment I saw the moving, standing, floating... water. There has always been something bout it that made me so calm. Cleared my head. Made me happier.
Living so far away from things and people I knew since I was born can be hard, but then I grew up walking on riverside and that is something that didn´t change. I live by sea now which somehow has even bigger effect on me.

Whenever I go to Crosby beach or to docks I feel like I am back home. I can almost hear the voice of my mom and friends. I know it might seem weird but I do get homesick and thats what happens when you miss someone so much.

I mean look at the photo above. If that endless water doesn´t calm you down I don´t know what will. And listening to the sounds of nature and families with children playing on beach has to bring you smile. Oh and those cute dogs running round and having time of their lives. Come on!

 I wore my lately go to outfit. Only thing I change up is the hoodie. Sometimes I just wear flannels.
Primark jeans, TK Maxx jacket, C&A shirt, VANS shoes, British Red Cross thrifted bag, Primark sunnies and scarf from boutique in hungary.

 Have you ever live abroad or far from family?! Would you ever do it? Where have you traveled? Let me know cause I need places to add to my "got to see" list.
Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest

The biggest one so far

So I have been trying to write this post for ever now. I also decided that I want it to go up before anything else does because it feels way more special to me then just some tuesday inspiration post I have lined up. But I couldn´t seem to find words. Funny isn´t?! You´d think after 6 years I´d be used to sobbing over my life ahah.

Sprakle (Spice) Up your Life

The night (morning) you find out if you were Naughty or Nice! It all comes to this. And you better look better then ever ahaha.
Or maybe you are one of those who chill in PJs. Are you? Let me know. I always wanted to know what it is like to be opening presents in the morning on 25th in PJs with a hot cocoa in hands. We do it exactly the opposite way. On 24th we have a dinner and open presents right after. We also dress up pretty nicely. And me being me, I try to look pretty glam. I mean look for yourself.

Miss Lark and Mr Sefton

It has been a hard, chaotic, busy but fun and eventful week. That is why I needed a little time to zone out. So I went for a stroll to dream, relax and just not think bout reality.
After over a year of life in Lennon's hometown I know my places. I got my spots where I know I can get some new energy or sense of future.
