Instagram Week #4

1. Comfy outfit for that day. I absolutely love this mohair cardigan I got from Primark a while ago, but it's really hard for me to wear because I can't wear it with black underneath, because the hairs stick to it and the black will be fully covered in blue hairs at the end of the day!

2. I was cleaning out my desk and I found some drawings from two years ago I think, and it made me realize that now I'm not really doing all the things I want to do, just because I have no time. That made me feel sad, really, so when summer break starts I'm gonna get back into drawing and all that creative stuff <3

3.  My oldest cat, Kloontje, sleeping like a baby on my bed. Lately he's been sneaking upstairs into my room and when I arrive I see him snoozing on my sheets haha

4. Random selfie.

5. Another selfie, but I was in this superdeluxe German train on my way to the boyfriend. I really enjoyed it there and didn't want to leave actually lol. Also, I've been loving red lips lately but sometimes I'm still too insecure about the boldness that red lips just have..

6. Boyfriend helped me photograph an OOTD for the blog! Then we saw his cat hiding between the flowers, so I just had to give him some attention. He's the sweetest and most beautiful cat, really. 

7.  On saturday we had lunch with my boyfriend's family, and this is what I wore. I ate so much that day, the food was delicious ;)

8. Another photo of Kloontje sleeping. He's so adorable when he sleeps!

I can't help to take pictures of him, I think it's also because I don't want to miss a moment of him anymore.. He's old already and I'm so glad he survived his eye cancer but he won't live forever so I'm just enjoying his presence while I still can. He's been with me since I was about 2/3 years old, and if he goes, a part of my life goes too.

Also, it's only one week 'til my tests, and after that I'll be done for this schoolyear! 

So exciting :D

OOTD - The Summery Dress

 
Dress - Primark
Shoes - also Primark

I finally got the chance to wear my dress I bought quite a while ago already, so I did!
Because I'm away this weekend I only brought these shoes and my creepers, but I think it looks okay like this.

I really hope this weather stays for a while because it helps me overcome my winter depression that lasted way too long!

Hope you're having a great weekend, because I sure am.

Instagram Week #3

1. Comfy leggings from Stradivarius, bought while in Barcelona.

2. Me and my friend had to photograph a dance performance, we're doing this for a couple of weeks now and I'm really liking it! On the photo is the stage where they announced all of the dancing groups. I thought the lighting was pretty cool.

3. Saturday's ootd! Another day of photographing, at two locations this time.
Crop Top - Asos / Camo Jacket - My Style / Leggings - H&M

4. My youngest cat Simba. Sometimes he's got the weirdest face. Why is your tongue out, dude! You are too adorable.

So this week I was pretty busy with school, and in the weekend I had to photograph 3 dance performances scattered over friday and saturday. So now that sunday has come, I am finally chilling. I've got a pile of homework waiting for me so guess I should start with that after I finish this post. 

I also decided to create a twitter! Now you guys are able to contact me if needed, or just to chat or stalk, whatever you prefer ;)

I'd really appreciate if you: Follow @Shiyamala_  

Kisses, SJ

Q: One fashion item you can't live without (can be specific)?
A: I definitely can't live without my skinny jeans. They're such a wardrobe essential for me.
Q: If you were only allowed to wear one would you choose, eye makeup or face makeup e.g. foundation, concealer?
A: I'd choose for eye makeup because I like doing that kind of makeup, and I don't wear foundation or concealer that often anyway, I could live without it!
