Palm tree tea

Last saturday I met some fashion bloggers at Pierina tea house. Gladly, it was not really cold so I finally had the chance to wear my lovely Versace for H&M sweater. I know it is from the men's colection but I love it. And it has a great story behind, cause I got it on sale for my boyfriend (& me), but he thought it was too colorful. So, I kept it and gave it to my dad as a gift. Then my mom loved it, so I told her it was for her (even though, it belonged to my dad). And now you can find it inside my closet. One sweater. Four gifts. Score!. I think they all liked it, but was too colorful for them. 

My top 5 make-up essentials

I love make-up, the cases, the shades, everything! But let's face it, I'm not good at it. Took classes, talked with professionals, watched a zillion tutorials...but nothing happens. I cannot accomplish a good smokey eye nor anything. And if someone applies make up on me, it doesn't get any easier on them. The eye liner makes me cry a lot, it is terrible!. And the mascara makes me cry when I have to remove it (takes so long!). I tried a lot of make up, bought a lot of really cute stuff that do not have a clue how to apply, even got the brush set to practice and get better, but no matter what I buy, I always come back to these five. So, if you do not know how to put make up on, I assure you this one are for beginners. 

Here are all my favorite things from my make up bag. I have some more stuff, that I like, but don't use much or is nothing special. 

Before novelstyle

Hi!! I have been really busy, not only with the book clutch, but had been packing and preparing stuff for Austria. I was preparing a make up post, but will have to be for tomorrow. This is just a short message to tell you that I finally finished the before novelstyle section, where you can find some pictures I took during the past years and pictures of me in different cities I visited. I really hope you like this section, had been working a lot on it! It was very difficult to decide which pictures were my fave ones!. This is just the first part, will keep on adding more during the next days...  

Thanks for reading and for all the beautiful comments!!! 

xoxo

DIY: Book clutch

I'm obsessed with book clutches... well, I should be, right? novelstyle? not really original!. I thought about getting the Kate Spade's book clutch as a wedding day handbag... but it is kind of pricey and it was out of stock. (note: Kate Spade, I adore your stuff, but for real...everything I wanted was out of stock in both dc and ny stores, not cute!). Going back to the clutch... I decided I could make it!. I googled it...and realized I was not alone in this DIY project. I found a lot of terrible explanations and one that was really good, done by runwaydiy.com. There you can find how to do it... I will just show you the steps I changed.
