Cool Nails
I am a big fan of playing with the look of my nails – Think it started when I was in Japan and saw how creative and cool they used their nails as accessories to their hair, clothes etc.
So when I came home, I off course wanted to do something similar and I found something called FIMO bars on the internet. You can apply them on your own nails or on fake ones – and really really play with the look – and it costs next to nothing (I bought 50 mixed ones for 2 euros) - Love it!
I buy mine at a homepage called trendsales.com but I know that if you Google “FIMO Bars, nails” you will easily find a supplier near you…
Here are some inspiration:
Enjoy!

What!?
Ok - I get that tatoos are kinda trendy and I like them! The real ones that is - apparently Chanel likes them as well and now they have launched this ark of fake tatoos - I must admit I do not like it and I think it seems a bit too - lets put our name on everything... Maybee the crises has hit the big fashionhouses ass well....
However here is an example of some of the tattoos:
You get 55 taatoos for 75 dollers. Not really a bargain is you ask me...

Home made t-shirts and more
If you feel creative and miss a t-shirt expressing your own message, now there is an easy way to create one easily.
The web page is called Cafe press and here you can find already made and popular clothes, as well as drinkware, posters and home decor.
The funny part is that you can personally design your own t-shirt, mug, bag, apron, clock... and the list goes on. It's not very expensive, e.g.. the t-shirts sell for between 20-30 USD.
Below I have created some examples...

Sample sale
I LOVE sample sale!
Once a year the Bestseller group sells out off their samples – you can really find some good stuff for no money at all and the best thing is that you can be sure that no one else has something like it! However there is often only a very small range of sizes available so you have to have a good portion of luck as well to be able to find something you like that actually fit. But when you do – its differently a bargain!
I only found a top this time – but I was also in a hurry…
It was 10 euros but because it was missing a belt I got it for 6 Euros.

Accessories from Promod
Found these two cute necklaces yesterday in Promod, It's a French clothing shop, to find many different places in Barcelona. The clothes are nice, a bit like the woman collection of Zara, but I especially like their accessories. These necklaces were both reduced to 5€ per piece.

New things in my closet...
This week I have (of course) been out shopping - I have not been using much money because I did my shopping in H&M...
I have been thinking about summer trends and taking that under consideration when shopping the last month or so - I don't really want more winter clothes and have been and are looking for items I can use for spring and summer instead.
This is my last 2 buyings:
A top with a waterfall effect in blue and white douched colours (blue is supposed to be a big colour this season) in a cloud-ish pattern that I really like. (22 Euros)
This is a cool alternative to a suit - love the stripes and even though it was only 200 kr. (25 Euros) the fabric looks and feels much more expensive! I am going to use it as a blouse now and as a jacket during summertime...End of sales shopping
So the sales have come to their end for this time and it's the moment when the shops really want to get rid of the last of their stock from last season and practically give their stuff away. During this time, with a little bit of patient and especially if you have a size which is a bit different from the average (XS or XL) you can really find some interesting offers.
I went to Zara and found a black formal dress (perfect for work) and a see trough black t-shirt with a asymmetrical neck. The dress was 30€ now reduced to 6€. The t-shirt was 26€, also now reduced to 6€.
