Photo Shoot Part 1 - More Than Pennies

 'And the girls in their summer clothes in the cool of the evening light.' - Bruce Springsteen

I'm sorry that you haven't heard about me for some time!
My fiancé has been in hospital now for over a month and it is hard for both of us.
Doctors hope that he might come home next week.
Handling school, work and taking care of our pets (and horses) has been a little difficult.

But I haven't forgot my important job of 2nd hand store blogger! My life has been so busy, but yesterday we (me, my goddaughter and her friend) went to our nearest city to check out some 2nd hand stores.

My usual store was closed, so the girls introduced me to some new stores! There was so much great stuff with decent prices and they were organized by color! Awesome!
We made a deal, that Helmi would choose some clothes that I could wear here.

I planned to "copy" some outfits from fashion magazines...this time it didn't really work, we had so little time.

Girls helped me and we found some nice pieces! At home girls were directing and taking pictures in our mini photo shoot and made my outfits. So here is the first part of them! Enjoy!

Orange knitwear, 3.00 euros and trousers with houndstooth pattern 2.00 euros. Trousers were quite small but I managed to fit them! Green chiffon shirt with glitter collars, 3.50 euros. I had fun!

What kind of man?

Last week Florence + The Machine had a big surprise for their fans: after announcing a new album (coming later this year) the band shared not only one but two brand new singles and music videos with their fans.
And WOW Florence + The Machine is definitely back and better than ever!

I've been a fan of the band for years now but after listening to their new single What kind of man I was speechless. If you haven't listened to it yet, you definitely have to do that as soon as possible or you will miss out a great piece of art.

By the way, How Big How Blue How Beautiful - The album will be available on 1.6.15 / 2.6.15 in the US. If you like you can pre-order it here on iTunes or as a CD/Vinyl/Boxset right here.

3D Illusion at SLS Las Vegas is totally awesome!

The Illusion at work

This epic illusion is hovering over the Center Bar in a place in Las Vegas, I don't know if I'd be impressed or fucking creeped out at the golden head poking through every few minutes like a colossus baby being born.

I must say though it does look pretty sweet, although people are saying you gotta see it from a specific angle or it looks crap, oh well, makes for a good vid!

Ninja neighbour rescues bra - Caught on Video

A Daring Rescue

I would personally like to know how the bra got out there, was it a mere slip or some kinky 'Fifty Shades of Grey' type shit?

Feel sorry for the neighbour, I bet they felt damn proud of their achievement slyly getting their bra back without being noticed.

Karl 'The Legend' Pilkington proposes for a fan

The Legend Himself

The nations favourite baldy took it upon himself to finally propose for a fan.

Lee obviously wanted a super romantic special way to propose to Joanne, so of course the only way to do that is to get Karl Pilkington to quickly reel off a half assed proposal on video.

What an absolute legend he is.

What to wear with a Hat #1

Maybe you remember one of my last posts about bad hair days and how to survive them (if not you can check it out here).
As I was talking about beanies and hats, I started wondering what you could wear best with a hat.
I guess there might be some people out there having the same problem. So I just took a look at some fashion magazines, blogs and the archive of my own blog to get some inspiration.

I have to admit, while looking through my blog's archive I realised that I'm more the "let's just wear a beanie" kind of person. I mostly wear beanies instead of hats.
Luckily, I was able to find at least 3 outfits that I would like to share with you in order to give you examples of what you can wear with a hat.

The outfit I'm showing you in today's post is perfect for colder days.
I'm wearing a long cardigan, which I like to wear when it's windy outside as it is keeping me warm and underneath the cardigan I'm wearing a simple pullover.
To give this look that certain something I added a necklace and the hat - et voilà! You have a great outfit to wear with a hat.

Function X - More Than Pennies

"We don't have to take our clothes off." - Ella Eyre

Phew, so many things to do! 
I feel like such a horrible blogger! ;) I have bought so many pieces of clothes in the past two years that I still have material for blogging. 
Even If I haven't got any time to visit my 2nd hand stores... 
Here in our little town there is a very small thrift shop and I had planned to take a look in it. I'm sure there's no highly valuable things, but maybe something a bit vintage?

Because I have a large amount of clothes storage, it has been fun to pick a different outfit for each and every day to go to school. 
I'm running out of trousers and skirts, have to make a change some day!
I bought a pair of jeans last week for 1.50 euros and they fit perfectly! 
For some reason it's easy for me to buy jeans, I just measure them by eye and they fit like a glove! 
Last summer I bought lovely cheap shorts from Tallinn, Estonia and they were the exception! I couldn't get my butt into them....I felt so fat and disappointed about my judgement skills.

Now into my Function X. 
A couple of months ago I bought a fun piece of knitwear. I just don't know how to use it! 
It's as big as a tent and has no shape. 

It has long sleeves and very giving V-neckline. It looks normal from behind but the front is absurd. You could fit like two or three of me and it has an octopus like tentacles draped over it. 
If I would be pregnant this would be exactly what I would wear then.... And it looks ridiculous with a belt - reason why I tested it was that I thought I could be more in control then. 
Apparently no, I can't. So I keep on moving like an octopus attacked me...

Degustabox - Your Monthly Surprise Food Box! (+ Discount Code)

Degustabox Packaging

(February discount code for £3 off: KJS98)

Degustabox is a monthly subscription service that delivers a box full of food and drink goodness right to your door every month for only £12.99! 

The good thing is it's no commitment, you can cancel anytime and re-subscribe whenever you wish.

You get anywhere between 9 and 14 products, some old favourites and some new brands to the market.

Not to mention you get them all for much less than you would pay if you bought them separately in a shop!

We got our first Degustabox towards the end of January and thought we would give you a rundown on what was inside, and what we felt about the Degustabox experience so far.

Plus who wouldn't like a box stuffed full of random awesome products delivered straight to your door!?

What's Inside?

The January Degustabox had a nice variation of healthy and tasty treats, consisting of:

Alfa One Rice Bran Oil

'Alfa One Rice Bran Oil is high in natural antioxidants such as Vitamin E and Oryzanol, and it is has a good balance of the ‘good’ mono and polyunsaturated fats.'

Kabuto Noodles

'Kabuto Noodles are a delicious combination of authentic Asian flavours and quality ingredients, prepared with the skill, dedication and discipline of a Samurai warrior.'

Koko Dairy Free

'Unique, great tasting, dairy free alternative to milk'

Simplee Aloe

'Simplee Aloe is all about bottling the goodness of aloe vera into a refreshing and nutritious drink.'

Sukrin Cake Mix

'A delicious sugar and Gluten-Free cake mix that doesn't compromise on taste or texture.'

Magners Light

'At 103 calories per bottle, Magners Orchard Berries Light contains 30% less calories than Magners Orchard Berries, with the same distinctive character and refreshing taste of Blackcurrants, Strawberries and Raspberries.'

Little Miracles

'Little Miracles are a beautiful blend of organic tea and super fruit juice. With carefully selected panax ginseng in its purest form and açaí, it is the perfect pick-me-up morning, noon and afternoon.'

Haywards

• 'Deliciously chunky vegetables in a tangy mustard sauce
• Liven up your food!'

Mornflake

'Mornflake Top Porridge is the speedy way to ensure a great start to your day!' 

Clipper Tea

'We select our green teas to make a superior, light and delicate cup of exceptional clarity.'

Our Thoughts

The first thing we noticed about our Degustabox experience was the shipping, we were told every step of the way when it should arrive, it was very impressive to see the standards in practice at that early step!

When it arrived, we saw the lovely branded Degustabox packaging, well sealed and marked, a sign of quality if nothing else.

I took to it with a knife (to undo the tape of course!) and slowly opened it, revealing a paper wrap sealed with a cute little stick holding it together.

Upon opening the seal, we saw the wealth of products in the box, all stacked neatly, wrapped and put inside bubble wrap for the breakables (Magners Light, Haywards).

I took it upon myself to film the unboxing process and put it up for you to take a gander, I'll put it just below, so have a look if you wish.

For £12.99 you are getting a fantastic service.

We will most definitely be using these ingredients in future recipes, and I have already enjoyed a few of them personally, like the delicious Mornflake pots and Simplee Aloe.

It's a great way to explore the landscape of products available on the market and discover some new items you may not have tried or otherwise known about.

Everyone needs a little bit of mystery in their lives and Degustabox can help fill that gap for you with monthly surprises!
