Insta month #1

And it's already March! This month has definitely gone too fast. I remember like it was yesterday and I sat in the kitchen and ate breakfast. It was the 1st February and my mom baked cake, because it was Harry Styles birthday, and we all know that I needed to celebrate that. The day before I went to Copenhagen Fashion Festival with my friend. We met famous danish and international bloggers and people from the fashion industry. It was a really cool experience and I can't wait to next year. 

About a week later I had winter break at school. Most of the time I didn't do anything but one day I actually decided to go outside and get some fresh air. I saw some super cute pink doughnuts, so I had to take an instagram picture. Btw they tasted amazing. 

While I had winter break I ordered some stuff from ASOS, including a striped turtleneck and a gold necklace.

Later instead of homework I read the newest issue of Elle. Good job Alexa!

Last weekend I went to Copenhagen to meet with a group of good friends I haven't seen for a while. We went to Joe & The Juice and obviously while the others had juices I decided to get coffee. 

Last but not least my favorite fruit of the month must be blueberries. They are so delicious and at the same time healthy! I can't get enough of them, I'm basically eating them all the time.

So that's what happened to me this month.

DIY Tumblr notebook

Since I was a little girl I have always been pretty crafty. In the kindergarten I was the lonely kid that always sat in the corner and draw princesses. Later in school I spend my time sewing small monkeys, pencil cases, pillowcases and decorations. A couple of years ago I even made baskets out of willow and a little chair out of wood. Unfortunately I must say that in the past two years I haven't been as creative as I used to be.

Most of the time I'm busy with homework, violin and ballet classes, but sometimes in the weekends I get a little bit of time where I can develop my creativity.

Lately I've been pretty obsessed with oh so pretty pictures on Tumblr and We heart it. Therefore I decided to make a notebook cover with Tumblr inspired pictures. The best thing about the notebook cover is that you actually can switch it out if you get bored of it.

And the Oscar goes to...

Since I live in Europe, it's very difficult for me to watch big award shows like the Oscars, Grammys or Golden Globes. Usually I watch the repeat broadcast the next day, but yesterday (or actually today) I decided to change that. I stayed up all night to watch the Oscars and the red carpet. Literally all night since it began 12.00 am and finished after 6.00 am. 

You can say that I had quite high expectations after last years beautiful Oscar dresses. Especially Lupita Nyong'o made a big impression on me with her gorgeous sky blue Prada dress that created an amazing harmony together with her dark skin. Another dresses that I admire from the last years show was Kate Hudson's, Naomi Watts and Cate Blanchett's delightful white/cream dresses. 

This year I must honestly say I was a bit disappointed. Of course there was a lot of beautiful dresses but I didn't find one that took my breath away. Although I have chosen five dresses that I liked the most and five that I didn't like.

Beauty on budget: Maybelline

Since I've got my first Maybelline mascara I've been loving the brand. When I was younger it was most because of the colorful packaging that looked like candy on the drugstore shelves. Now, when I'm a broke teenager I appreciate Maybelline both because of its unbeatable price and it's flawless products. I have never been disappointed by anything Maybelline and I honestly think it's one of the best drugstore brands.

I've selected five of favorite Maybelline products that I can't live without.

        

15 fashion basics

In my opinion the most important items in a girl's wardrobe are good basics. Timeless items you can mix and match several times. If you have your basics you will probably never ever have to say the magic words "I have nothing to wear". With a few basic items it's easy to create a bunch of nice outfits. I have chosen 15 basic items that I think are the key to archive the perfect basic wardrobe.     

Cute Iphone 6 cases

I've got the iPhone 6 for Christmas, and I still haven't found a cute case to it. Since I constantly drop my phone, my dad decided to buy me a clear case recently. Which is okay, but kind of boring. Therefore I found a couple of pretty and unique cases, that I seriously consider buying.

My personal favourite is the white marble case, the holographic case and the grid pattern case. They are very minimalistic and super tumblr, which are two things I'm obsessed with in the moment. 

Obsessed with orange

Orange - such a lovely and fresh colour. It reminds me of sunrises, carrots and Sunday mornings with eggs and orange juice. Lately I've found out that I own lots of orange things that I quite like. Maybe I'm going into a orange phase right now? I even own a pair of orange pants! Even thought I never wear them, I honestly think that they are quite cool. Paired with a white t-shirt and some black loafers. Hmmm maybe I should consider giving them one more chance?

Right now, while holding my coffee cup, I also realized that my nails are orange. Wait, did I say coffee? One of my new year's resolutions was giving up Starbucks. Seriously I spend a fortune on coffee and other beverages.

Post Winter Wishlist

Winter isn't my favorite part of the year. I hate going outside, so most of the time I sit in front of my computer with a soft blanket and a cup of hot tea, doing absolutely nothing. During one of my oh so productive internet surfing sessions I usually binge watch Netflix, YouTube or spend hours on browsing online shopping websites like ASOS or Topshop. Sometimes I also go on Net-a-porter, but that is usually way too painful, since I can't afford anything.

My style - 10 items

You probably know my name, and maybe if you're lucky you also know a little bit about me. In case you don't, I'm basically a fashion obsessed teenager writing about my oh so exiting life. So I thought that the best way to start my new fashion blogging adventure is with a "My style"-post. I've selected 10 of my favourite fashion items I own, so you can get an idea of how my brain works and how I dress. 

 



New Balance
I walk a lot, so a pair of classic sneakers are a must have for me. My Black/Navy blue/Green New Balance are my favourite pair I own. They are super comfortable but still look very fashionable and cool.

Who's that girl?

My name is Alexa, and I am basically a teenager living in the middle of nowhere. Okay maybe not really, but sometimes it feels like that.
Anyways, I am fourteen years old and I love spending my afternoon on cleaning and decoration my room. Beside that I'm obsessed with fashion and travel. I also have an unhealthy addiction to blueberry smoothies, Harry Styles and Pinterest.
One day I'll live in a magical NYC penthouse with a dozen unicorns, while writing blogposts all day long, and eating sushi with Anna Wintour and Sarah Jessica Parker. But first I need to finish school and do a lot of other things, so far I can only dream.

I can speak six languages (some of them better than others) and I love math, so you can pretty much call me a nerd. In my mind I'm a very friendly but also extremely shy human. Sometimes people find me annoying because they claim that I'm too positive - I just take it as a compliment. As I said previously I love to dream - about everything between heaven and earth. I get most of my ideas during my daily daydreaming sessions and of course also from the magic of the internet.

 This is my blog - a little bit of my and my brain. Lipsticks and lemonades was born on February 10th. It's a place for me to share my ideas, dreams and put some words on my fashion thoughts. I decided to name my blog Lipsticks and lemonades because it's a flawless mix of beauty, fashion, lifestyle and food. Beside that it sounds good in my ears and it's pretty easy to remember.

I really hope that someone out there will take time and enjoy reading my thoughts. Your words always mean a lot to me, so feel free to drop a comment below. Finally I have answered some questions that will help you to get to know me better.
