Hey guys!
It's been a small while again. I'm really busy with reading at this very moment! And oh my, how I've been stressing out. My psychological exam for the first place I'm applying for is on 20th of this month. Three days before my birthday, too.. Either way, I've been super stressed. I was pondering about what to wear, from what I got in the haul I'll be presenting to you guys today, and ended up having a small panic attack. I can't understand people who can take education so lightly, for me it's so very important. I guess I don't want to feel common. Anyway, after the first exam, my second one will be 3rd of June. So 2 weeks apart from each other. I'll know whether I got in to either by July, I guess.
What I'm most waiting for, is the trips and the exam days themselves. I get so very fidgety before the exams, but when the day hits, I am as calm as a stone. Though I have to get up really early. The town the exams are being held at, is around a 1h+ drive away. We need to leave at 6 AM, to avoid the worst traffic and still have time to search for the lecture halls my exams are in. So I need to get up at around 5 AM, or even before, since I need to put on my face and double check that I have everything with me. I'm actually getting pretty excited now, sigh. Wish it was time for preparations already.
Anyway, what I've been up to today, has been some modest lounging about, and cleaning. I finished cleaning my room, and washed three basket fulls of laundry. This may sound retarded, but I L-O-V-E doing laundry. I actually got happy and shed a few tears, when my mom got her hands on a new detergent that came out just now. The fragrance is water lily and lime. I just ran out of clothes to wash, so I need to wait for a bit.. Oh well.
What I actually came here for, was my haul update. My H&M packages arrived a while back, and I've been waiting for a good time to show you guys what I got. I even visited their store, and got a few things I will probably wear at my exams. I want to give a great first impression, heh. Stressing over trivial things, so typical of me. Anyway, let's get started!

Let's start with a statement, that EVERYTHING HERE IS BOUGHT FROM H&M. I'll put links to their website on the items that can be found there, but sadly, not everything is available.
1. Messenger bag, 19, 95 euro ( you can find it here )
2. Body spray, fragrance is Desert Rose, 3, 95 euro ( find it here )
3. Woolen cropped top, 19, 95 euro ( bought from store )
4. Bomber jacket, 10 euro, season sale
5. Shimmer and matte nude eyeshadows, 4, 95 euro, and a double-ended brush, 3, 95 euro ( find them here and here )
6. Leggings in floral pattern, 12, 95 euro ( find them here )
7. Round sunglasses, 6, 95 euro ( bought online, but they ran out ): )
8. 3x rose earrings, 2,95 euro, bought from store
9. Shorts, 19,95 euro ( find them here )
10. Sleeveless dress, 29, 95 euro, bought online but they were out again >:

Let's go in the numerical order then.
Here's the bag I was obsessing about in my favorites post. I can't recall when the package arrived, but it was more than a week ago. I was expecting a much more bigger bag, but was pleasantly surprised when I discovered, that as most bags, this can carry a lot more than you would think judging from its exterior. I love the hipster print and it's pastel-y colors, that's the main reason why I bought it. Another thing that I love, is the huge buckles that the straps have. They aren't adjustable though, but it doesn't really affect anything.
Here I am wearing it, just to give you an idea how big the bag is.

Here's my bodymist. The name is, as stated before, Desert rose, and it consists of apple, rose and violet. I bet that's why the liquid itself is violet, har har. Either way, the fragrance is really pungent, and I really like it. Only downsides are, that the spray mechanism doesn't work as well as in some other cases, and you usually end up spraying yourself 20 cm lower than you intended. Also, the fragrance is really fleeting. You put it on, and it'll last maybe a few hours, but definitely not a whole day, as some higher priced products do. It wasn't super expensive, and the fragrance still pleases me, so I wouldn't whine about such trivial things.

Now, for my new favorite item.. The cropped top that I bought.
As I said before, it's a woolen top, well, a mix of wool and polyester, but mostly wool. It's light enough to not make you sweat your balls off, if you want to layer it with a chiffon shirt like I did below...
.. And it is warm enough to use as a simple woolen top, if it's a little chillier outside, like I did below. ( Of course, this doesn't apply to winter ).
Actually, the upper outfit co-ord, is what I'm going to use next Tuesday for my exam. Wanna look presentable, yet girly!
~
Next off, is my new bomber jacket that I found from the seasonal sales section. I'm not quite sure what the real price was, but I paid 10 euro for it.
I'm sorry about the terrible quality of most of these pictures, we are having terrible cloudy weather, so the lightning sucks, as well as my old rusty camera. Either way, this jacket is super comfortable, but thin, and not very roomy. As in, you can't have thick clothes beneath it, just like one thin shirt or something like that. What I love about it, is that it has these cute cross-stitches all over the jacket. Like an old, vintage chair. You can't sadly see the details, which sucks ( fuck you Finnish summer ).
~
Next, my makeup thingies. Sorry I didn't do swatches, but as the title says, they're nude colors. I tried my very best, but they only left different shades of shimmer on my skin. I couldn't get them to show in camera at all, but they're pretty much what they seem like on the packaging.
And also, a new eyeshadow brush <3
~
Next are my laze-about leggings, in that kind of a floral pattern that I'm crazy about.
They're actually the same kind as a pair of Star Wars pattern leggings I have, but in different pattern of course. They had the same kind in a total of, at least, 9 prints. I now have these and the Star wars ones, but I think they had one in aztec pattern as well, and I might get those later on as well. They're a slim fit, and wont start bagging after use. I actually slept a few nights in these, since my legs started cramping due to cold air.. No bagging. I promise.

Another new favorite! I probably shouldn't say that as much, I guess it takes away the meaning behind the word 'favorite'.
Ta-dah! New sexy round sunglasses that seem fuzzy in the camera. The bag they were in, left small little plastic hairs on it, and I didn't notice before after taking the picture. Enjoy my fuzzy sunglasses. Either way, you probably know that I'm as blind as a bat, but I just had to have a round frame sunglasses in my collection. None of the proper eyeglass stores had any round frames, so I bought an inexpensive one. Sadly now I can only use them on occasions where I'm not obliged to see in front of me. They look so good on me though, it feels like a waste.. I wonder if some stores will put lenses on already bought frames.. Need to investigate.
My dad has always said that my head is huge, which it is. He keeps giving me remarks about it, but these sunglasses are so large, that they make my head look almost normal. Huge plus! #inspiration

These earrings I actually reviewed in the post before this one, so I'll just put a link of it here, and just leave you with a picture of them.
~
Here are my most favorite shorts of all time. They are almost like a skort, but not at all. They actually make me feel less fat, which makes me super super happy.
Look at me, I almost look normal in them. I'm seriously happy. And they're cute too! They actually fit together with the cropped wool top I reviewed before, but having shorts and a woolen shirt mixed, seems rather odd. I hope for suitable weather for the mix anyway.
~
Last but not least, my summer dress. I must say, in front, that I'm a tad disappointed in it, mostly because it was too long. Dresses that reach my knee, make me look odd, imo.
Here we are. I guess it doesn't look that bad in the picture ( like the new angle I'm photographing from btw? ). I like the possibilities on this one, you can make it more dressy with jewelry and stockings, or more casual with a jacket and woolen stockings. Another great thing about it is that the belt is removable. It's actually a pretty tight waist-fit, but usable with other things too, I'd recon.
I love gold and black, as you probably know xD.
~
And that concludes my haul for today. Remember, everything here is from H&M WEBSHOP or SHOP in general. I tried not writing too much, to avoid a long post, but I guess it got stretched a long the way. I'll leave you a selca at the end, and talk to you as soon as possible. If not, I'll most definitely will be posting on the 20th, because you know, my exams. Tomorrow I'm going to go see Godzilla btw, soooo stoked. It's more the original Godzilla than in the movie which was released in the year 2001. Either way, talk to you later, keep yourselves classy, I love you guys! <3
