Inspired by..




To me, sunday afternoon often exists of walking my dog Sputnik to the bakery, changing into jogging pants, making nice food, watching movies, doing blog stuff and doing make-up! Today I am skipping the make-up because I have an eye infection, but I have a look from a few weeks ago that I want to share :) I based this look on Sofia Loren's classic diva look, and it was pretty challenging because I look nothing like her. Her features are pretty unique, but I tried to mimic them a little bit.

Read on to see what I made of it!


It is not a flattering look on me at all because I have hooded eyelids. I usually post pictures where it doesn't show that much, because it doesn't do my make-up any justice. I thought I'd show you some less flattering pictures today, to be fair. A smile coudln't have hurt, but I guess I was not feeling fabulous, haha :)

It black and white it looks okay..


But in color it is obvious that I have been slapping on the bronzer like a madwoman :p
