I’m definitely a person that enjoys having nice things and loves to buy nice stuff from time to time. Growing up I was a tomboy, I wasn’t girly at all, I hung out with boys most of the time and I was not interested in girly things. Throughout primary school and high school I was mostly casual, never really dressy and girly. I got in touch with my femininity pretty late I would say, I think I was about 22 when I started dressing more feminine and really enjoying fashion and beauty products. My mom recently told me that when I was like 4 she would dress me up and immediately I would go into the room to change and pick my own outfit, it seems like I knew what I liked from an early age. Today I’ll share with you my favourite things to buy and spend money on.
BAGS
Bags are my favourite thing to buy. I’m totally a bag person, I love bags, love buying them, love carrying them and just love to enjoy them. I definitely think that I mostly spend my money on bags, I like investing into nice bags and buying different designer bags. I have quite a big bag collection. I try to sell bags that I don’t wear any more and then use that money to buy another bag. So my collection is always growing, changing and getting new additions. Bags are definitely my weakness, when I see the bag that I like, I have to find a way to get it. I think my bag addiction is real, I will have to do something about it. Carrie Bradshaw had a thing for shoes, well I definitely have a thing for bags.
SILK SCARFS
Silk is my favourite material, together with cashmere. Cashmere is my favourite material for winter, but silk is my favourite material for spring/summer for sure. Silk is expensive, so investing money in these pieces is something you have to accept. Silk is also really delicate, so it is easy to destroy it. I love this material, because it feels amazing on skin, looks so luxurious, so for me investing in these pieces makes sense. I love buying all silk pieces, shirts, dresses, but mostly I love buying silk scarves. I love how a simple silk scarf can change the look of a complete outfit so easily. I enjoy wearing them around the neck, on the bag or in my hair. I love wearing silk scarves around my ponytail or bun in summer time, because it looks so chic.
BLUSHES
One of my favourite makeup products is blush. I do own many blushes, but I do like adding new ones to my collection. If I want to treat myself to a new makeup product, I would usually go for a blush or face palette that has blush, bronzer and highlighter in. I try not to over add to my makeup collection, because it is just so wasteful. I used to spend a lot of money on makeup, but now I really try to really decide what I want to try and have in my collection. I try to really think before buying a product, to see will it have a place in my collection and will I use it enough.
PURE GOLD JEWELLERY
Now this is really bad I know, pure gold is extremely expensive. I don’t buy pure gold jewellery all the time, I maybe buy new pieces once or twice a year, usually for special occasions. I always loved gold because it is long lasting, you can wear it all the time and no need to take it off. I don’t like the look of silver and also silver oxidises on me and turns black. I don’t like jewellery that is only covered in a thin gold layer, because that one doesn’t last on me either. I do have a few pure gold pieces that I wear every day, for example my gold necklace with A pendant with diamonds. I wear my engagement ring and wedding ring daily. Also my everyday watch is always on me and my gold earrings. I have two gold pieces on my wish list and those are the ones that I will add to my collection in some time.
HAIR PRODUCTS
I take care of my hair a lot. Hair is a really important part of my look and I do invest time and money into my hair. Hair care is an important part of my beauty/pamper routine. I try to use good products and invest in my hair really well. I usually use good quality, not necessarily expensive products, but every now and then I invest in some hair care products. My routine of taking care of my hair includes oil treatment on my scalp and rest of hair at least twice a month. Of course I try to do oil treatment once a week, but sometimes I can’t do it because of work. I use hair masks every time I wash my hair and try to always use some sort of leave in treatment and hair serum. Hair serum is really important, so if you don’t use it, definitely include it in your hair care routine.
FRAGRANCES
I think this one is obvious to many people. I think that many people love buying fragrances. I wear fragrances daily, no matter if I’m going out or staying at home. I don’t buy fragrances all the time, but I do add a few during the year. My current favourite fragrance is Narciso Rodriguez Rouge fragrance, that is quite pricey actually. So that fragrance is definitely something that I’ll keep repurchasing. I’m looking forward to add some other Narciso Rodriguez fragrances to my collection because the Rouge fragrance really impressed me. I’m usually a fan of Tesori d’Oriente fragrances, because they last long and are quite affordable, but I’m getting into more expensive ones also.
