Sign of the times

Winter is such a drag at the moment. I’ve had it up to here with the rainy kind of snow we get in Copenhagen, with grey skies (haven’t seen the sun in a while), dark mornings and even darker evenings, with the damp cold that creeps into your bones and the neverending salt stains on just about everything I own.

Lately I’ve been quite desperate  for spring to arrive and for new exciting things to happen. I’m aching for new challenges and aventures and since my style always reflects my personality and the kind of mood I’m in you can probably imagine what that means. I’ve been wearing head to toe dark blue (that’s my black), sweaters and simple skirts and feeling… pretty much uninspired and frankly quite bored. Does your clothes or your style reflect your mood?

The other day though I decided to try and cheer myself up with crazy mix of a summer dress, a cardigan, a scout-shirt, wooly hat and lipstick (insert sound from American Pshyco shower scene and/or the smiley with huge surprised eyes).

Over the years I’ve accumulated a a lot of lipsticks here and there….most were gifts, some were compulsive purchases (because I’d seen some blogger looking good in that shade) and a few were just simple goodie-bag stuff.  However I can seriously count the number of times I’ve worn lipstick on one hand (lipgloss though is another story). I’ve always felt I look stupid or strange when wearing it, but some days ago I decided to try just for fun and I actually really liked it. I still won’t ever be as comfortable in lipstick as I am in smoky eyes but I guess change is good.

After lots of weeks with partying, fashion week, being ill and just plain lazy I got side-tracked on my healthy regime of running a few days a week and eating tons of greens and proteins. It’s so hard getting back into the swing of healthy things again! The other day I woke up in the middle of the night….craved chocolate so bad I had to get up and eat some, only to go back to bed and sleep again right after (yes preeeeetty addicted to sugar at the moment). Any tips on kicking off spring in good health?
