Best of 2012!: A Tag

2013 is starting to come around and 2012 is starting to come to a close. Since I don't do monthly favorite posts (I don't change my routine enough to do those), I decided that I would do the Best of 2012 Tag that has been circling around Youtube! I also think it would be interesting to look back at this post in a year and see how much, or how little, has changed.
Here are my favorites!

BEAUTY
1. Cheek product: My favorite cheek product is the NYX cream blush in "Rose Petal". It's such a pretty everyday color!

 2. Eye product: This would be the lighter shade in the Clinque duo "Rose Wine". It's a very natural everyday color!

3. Lip Product: My favorite lip product is the EOS lip balm, especially in "Sweet Mint". It's super moisturizing and tastes really good.

4. Skincare Product: I have been using the Clinique Gel Moisturizer almost every day. Perfect for oily skin!

5. Hair product: I have been liking the Organix Moroccan argon oil shampoo. It's super moisturizing and volumizing, plus isn't at a great price!

6. Body product/Perfume: This has to probably be the Sweet Pea body mist from Bath and Body Works. This has allows been a favorite and I pretty much wear this every day.

FASHION
9. Clothing piece: I can't think of one clothing piece that stands out from the rest, but one piece that I have been wearing throughout the year are black skinny jeans. They go with anything!
10. Accessory: Scarves. Especially during the cooler months, I have started getting more into infinity scarves, which are super warm.
11. Pair of shoes: Flats for sure, in particular nude flats. I wear nude flats throughout the year, because they go with anything and can go casual or formal.

RANDOM
12. Favorite TV Show: I had a hard time choosing this one, so I'm going to have to do more than one. My favorite TV shows that is still currently on air are New Girl, The Middle, and Revenge. I also started getting into Psych. A TV show that is no longer on air but I have watching a lot this year (actually more like the past several years) is Scrubs.
13. Favorite book: I don't have time to read a lot but one book I enjoyed over the summer is "Seventeenth Summer" by Maureen Daly.

14. Food: Food is definitely a tough one, though one cuisine that I have been liking a lot this year is Indian, especially Palak Paneer and Butter Chicken Masala.
15. Beverage: I have always liked tea, but this year, I have especially been getting into tea lattes in almost any flavor of tea.
16. Favorite song: This is definitely a hard one. I can't really pick one song that I have liked more than others this year, but I have been, and have always liked, Coldplay, but I have also been liking the songs "Take a Walk" by Passion Pit, "Little Talks" by Monsters and Men, and "The A Team" by Ed Sheeran.


Ones that I didn't answer because I don't use it very often:
Favorite Face product and Nail Polish.

While doing this tag, I realized that there defiantly should be an "All time favorites" tag, which would be fun to do :).

I hope you enjoyed this :)

The MetGala 2012

On the 7th of May one of the most important yearly events went down in New York City.

Im talking about the The MET Gala 2012 wich was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Temple of Dendur.

As celebration of the new exhibition of ''Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations.''

-hosted by Carey Mulligan, Anna Wintour, and Miuccia Prada herself, as well as honorary cochair Jeff Bezos.

As usual celebrities from around the globe came to the Costume Institute Gala, wich was once again hosted by Vogue. You could call it the most important '' fashion event of the year!

Doutzen Kroes, Marc Jacobs, Beyoncé, Giselle Bunchen and Pharell Williams are few names of all the celebrities who joined the event.

All looking marvelous.

Head-to-toe covered in prints
First designers came with lovely printed pants which has taken over the streets.
But now they've added matching garments to create suits to their print obsessions.
Head-to-toe print might seem like a scary and daring trend at first thought.
But if you match it with a pair of coloured heels or go for an laid-back look by matching it with a white tee I'm sure it'll look fab.

I Love Shopping on Sale

Shopping u Portanovi, na svakom izlogu najlepše ime koje svi volimo "SALE"!
Ovaj put sam se najviše zadržala kod kamenčića i ukrasa na majicama. Pored mora  majica sa britanskom zastavom,maskirnih šara i nitni i bodlji pronašla sam dve romantične casual majice u Pull and Bear-u koje  su bile naravno snižene. I kada sam stala u red na kasu, ispred mene je bio niko drugi nego dotični Toni Cetinski! Heh..sad mi je žao što ga nisam uslikala za post :))

I onda dodjoh do izbora košulje...Vođena jednom od pravila uspešne kupovine na rasprodaji "Invest in classics".
H&M... Sve do kase sam držala crnu i belu. Bela sam nekako "ja",a crnu nikada nisam imala pa je izbor ipak pao na nju. Mada, i dalje su mi oči na beloj :)

U H&M-u sam pronašla i metalik jeans kojima nisam mogla da odolim i odlično se uklapaju uz tu crnu košulju sa ukrasom na kragni.

I tako se moj shopping završio sa 4 stvari za manje od 50 eura. Operacija uspešna!

Till the next time..

xoxo, D.

I can't pick a favorite look because I'm love everything but my favorite item is the leather jacket!
