As a nail polish lover, I'm always on the lookout for certain shades that would look great in my collection. Two of them being Catrice's Meet Me at Coral Island and L'Oréal's Confetti Top Coat. For some odd reason I couldn't find them anywhere... Until I came across both a couple of days ago - at a discount, talk about luck. Eager to try them out, I found they actually match beautifully.

I love the effect of the confetti top coat. I'm going to be wearing this with all kinds of shades very often. Unfortunately removing it is a chore, as it is with all glitter nail polishes, but let's ignore that just this one time.

What do you think of this top coat by L'Oréal?

House at the Lake is a concept house envisioned by Ukranian architect and interior designer Igor Sirotov.

Sirotov restricted the interior to all-grey, which in my opinion enhances the calmness in the building. The open space is so relaxing. I wouldn't mind spending some time here to get away from all the fuss one's forced to deal with every day.

The past few months I've been focusing on skincare products and trying to find out which kinds of solutions work best for my skin. I've been able to collect a lot of great products so far. However, some are still missing from my stash and that's where this list comes in.

1- Origins Make A Difference Plus+ Rejuvinating Treatment Gel Numerous times have I read about this miracle worker and it's got me eager to try it. I am planning on visiting the Netherlands again soon and hopefully I'll find a Douglas store there.

2- Clinique Clarifying Lotion 1 for very dry to dry skin & Clinique Redness Solutions Soothing Cleanser My skin tends to get irritated a couple times a month. Clinique promises for these cleansing products to help keep the skin calm.

3- Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution for sensitive skin It'll take another while for me to finish my bottle of Diadermine cleansing water (I'm actually only half way, woops). When I do, I'm going straight to the pharmacy to get myself the Bioderma version that everyone can't stop talking about. Can't miss out, right?

4- Lush Ocean Salt Lush is one of my favourite brand, though the list of Lush products I have yet to try is endless. Ocean Salt is a face and body scrub I've been curious about for a long time.

Are there some products you're dying to get? Have you tried any on my list?

The months have gone so fast! Tell me we're almost half through August and I won't believe you at first. Another thing I can't believe is how much I've been shopping the past couple weeks. I'm all done going wild with the creditcard, but nonetheless I'm excited to show you some of my latest purchases.

First - and my favourite - are these gorgeous wedges from Pull & Bear. I noticed them in the online shop before the sales, but I wouldn't buy them before trying them on. When I finally made it to the store in Antwerp - and with my friends convincing me I had to have them, there was no doubt these beauties would be coming home with me.

I'm a sucker for jumpers. I've bought so many of them in the past year, it's unreal. Just as it struck me that I didn't own a plain black jumper yet, I walked into this one at Vero Moda. Not kidding, this basic knit jumper was the first item of clothing I saw when I walked through the door. Right timing, right place. Yup, it was meant to complete my wardrobe.

A friend of mine was trying on this jersey when I noticed how awesome it is. I got it from H&M. It has the head of a panther printed on both sleeves. The fabric is slightly thinner than that of a regular sweater; its texture kind of reminds me of fleece. To be fair, the jersey has a loose fit, perhaps a bit too loose for me, but ahh, the print just made this purchase a no-brainer.

I was looking for a product - preferably scrub, as it was the only one missing from my skincare routine - by Clinique that treats normal to sensitive skin. This 7 day scrub cream was recommended when I was visiting ICI Paris XL. I'm curious to see what it'll do for my skin.

What are your most recent purchases?
