DIY flower crown

Hello lovelies,

I'm currently really stressed and I have barely any free time because I'm prepping up for my interview for a university. So I'm buried in papers pictures and fake flowers. I decided to do something that I wanted to do for a while. I always drew inspiration from photo shoots and editorials but this time I decided to do something that was inspired by a person. The first name that popped into my head was Lana Del Rey. And when I think of Lana I instantly think of flower crowns. So to do it is not really hard you just need some wire and fake flowers and you are set to go. I picked out my flowers for hours and hours. I wanted them to be colour cordinated and match with each other.

Best of 2012

Hello my lovelies. Like every year since 2009 I decided to do the same to write my best of 2012 post. While thinking of ideas this made me realize that I actually been blogging for a long time and my small losses of interest sometimes are reasonable due to the amount of time I've been doing this for. I also promised myself that this week I'm gonna write my personal statement and apply to universities, but at least now I decided firmly what I'm going to study so it's going to be easier. Ok so now let's get to my favorite's:

Model of the year: Cara Delevingne

I know I know everyone loves her. She is all over the place. The face of everything winning model of the year at Elle style awards and so on, but I had a lady crush on this girl since the first time I saw her with her sister Poppy in a magazine article and then in Burberry with her stunning blue eyes bushy eyebrows and long blond hair. And not to mention that she has a great and interesting street style.



Blog crush of the year: fashionvibe I already made a post about this amazing blogger not such a long time ago but she just had to be mentioned on my list again :)

Shoe of the year: The platform sneaker Everyone got obsessed with the Isabel Marant platform sneaker and prettier and prettier versions were all over London this year from little girls to middle aged women everyone wanted a pair this year.


Favorite trend: One piece suits. I was just amazed with head to toe floral suits and same pattern blazers with shorts pants or skirts, so I can easily call it my favorite trend.

Favorite Fashion show of the year: Balenciaga SS 13 Everything from clothes to accessories to hair was just perfect.  

Obsession of 2012:Instagram if you follow me (@kofyholik) I post almost everyday :)

 



Music discovery of the year: James Arthur I am actually happy my mom made me download her the auditions of the British X factor because after it I got hooked on the show like a maniac. And it's because of the amazing James Arthur who made me cry after every song from the first time I saw him. I know I would have never watched x factor again if he wouldn't have won the show. Enjoy:  
Best music video's of 2012: Lana Del Rey- Ride

Calvin Harris feat. Tinie Tempah- Drinking from the bottle

I hope you all enjoyed my list and I hope you all have amazing 2013 and fulfill all your new year's resolutions.  

Lots of love Amanda xxx

Say goodbye to the wonderland

Hello guys how are you doing these days? I'm so happy I did all my Christmas shopping because today when I tried to go to buy shoes I ended up going back home because the amount of people and traffic is just crazy. So I decided to spend the day at home warm in my bed with good food and laptop since my Christmas Holidays at work just started. That's how I stumbled upon this amazing editorial with Lana Del Rey that I couldn't bare to not share with you.

Hello my lovely readers, as promised I'll try to post on every free day that I have.Sveiki mielieji, taigi kaip ir pažadėjau rašau pirmą pasitaikiusią progą.

So everyone always said to me, if you will work hard earn your own money you will not spend it all on clothes. Well they were wrong. I put money aside  for rent for travelling and the rest is for shopping. Next pay check is on laptop,gym and new gym clothes and on this one I bought some lovely new autumn things, take a look:

Taigi man visi visada sakė kai užzidirbsi savų pinigų nemanau, kad viską praleisi ant drabužių.. Na jie klydo, aišku aš atsidedu nuomai bei transportui, o kas lieka eina ant drabužių kosmetikos, bei žurnalų. Iš kitos algos planuoju nusipirkt nauja kompiuterį, taigi galėsiu dažniau parašyti, bei susimokėti už sporto salę ir vėl imtis sveikos gyvensenos ir jum skūstis kaip mane užknisa valgyti salotų lapus bei daryti atsilenkimus. O kolkas mano keli pirkinukai:

Knits to keep me warm:
Megztukai šaltiem žiemos vakaram:



both from H&M and I'm planning to buy  some others from there as well because these are comfy and cute.

Abu iš H&M kur dar planuoju užsukt dar kelių megztukų.

Handbags:
Rankinukai, ir didžiausias radinys Ebay rankinukas atrodantis kaip mano numylėtasis Alexander Wang:




Still inlove with the studded collars:



Simple and comfortable everyday shoes:



New make-up brushes:



And last but not least something from Lana's modeled collectiom for H&M, tights:

Vienas mano mylimiausių pirkinių, Lanos devėtos tympos H&M:



That's all for now guys hope you like my stuff. Have a great week ;*

lots of love xoxo

Everytime I close my eyes it's like a dark paradise

So if you were wondering where I disappeared once again I was working. Yes I finally have a job and today was my first day off! Which i spent doing absolutely nothing and just watching tv shows and movies. So now I work in a nice restaurant in Canary Wharf and now life in the UK is getting better. Though I am not happy about moving to another place soon, if it was up to me I would live where I live now. Also the Olympics are sooo soon and it is going to get hectic in London at this time. Also the new Victoria's Secret store opened up in Westfield so I know where I will be rushing after I get my first pay check.

I've been a bit bad enjoying all sorts of British junk food but right now I am trying to get back on track and I am joining a gym soon and making healthier food choices once again.

Taigi jeigu svarstėt kur aš vėl pradingau tai atsakymas paprastas, dirbau. Taaaip pagaliau gavau darbą. Ir šiandien mano pirma laisva diena. Kurią praleidau tinginiaudama lovoj su serialais ir filmais. Taigi įsidarbinau mielam restoranėli Canary Wharf rajone ir dabar mano gyvenimas tapo bent kiek įdomesnis.Visai nelaukiu kada kelsiuos į kitą rajoną, nes šis man patinka ir darbas netoli, bet deja čia ne nuo manęs priklauso. Be to artėja Olimpinės ir Londonas bus pergrustas žmonių ir čia bus tikras beprotnamis. Taipogi Westfielde atsidarė nauja Victoria's Secret parduotuvė į kurią jau nekantrauju lėkt gavus pirmąją algą. Taipogi Londone truputi grįžau prie senų įpročių ir išbandinėjau įvairius Angliškus skanėstus, bet greit  vėl pradėsiu lankyt sporto salę, o valgyt sveikiau jau pradėjau. 

I promise to post as often as I can and for the end I wanted to share the amazing and beautiful Lana Del Rey for Vogue Japan, enjoy:

Pažadu  parašyti dažniau, o pabaigai mano mylimoji Lana Vogue Japan žurnalui:

lots of love A xx
