Hello Lovelies,

Most of you may already know that I had bought two Triangl bikinis a while back and they did not fit me. I had been wanting to return them because I did not want to stay with two bikinis that didn't fit me but I hadn't really gotten around doing it.

Yesterday I thought why not try them again and see if I really wanted to return them or refund them and everything. I tried them on again and strangely they fitted better and I didn't want to return them anymore. So I tried both of them on, went to the pool with both so I could do a proper review on the bathing suits.

I'll start by talking about the Farah - Summer Serenade that I bought in a S++ for the top and M for the bottoms.

The bikini has the nicest colours ever, they are so vibrant and look really nice with the sunshine. The top is in a triangle shape and covers maybe half of my boobs but I don't mind showing a bit of boobs if you do mind, this style isn't for you if you have a large bust. The straps are adjustable which is a big plus, however the band isn't so you need to make sure that the size is really the one that will fit you.

The little crochet detailing really adds to the charm of the bikini. The top is really nice to swim in, however I feel a bit weird swimming with the bottoms they seem to take a lot of water in and just be weird.

One thing you should know when you buy a Triangl bikini is that the bottoms cover a lot of your butt and aren't cheeky at all although they have come out with cheeky bottoms but only on certain styles so keep that in mind while buying your swimsuit.

Second bikini : Black Neon - Orange Burst

The bikini also has very vibrant colours although the black is faded which I do not like, I would have liked it better with an actual black. Also my bottom arrived with some creases and I know we can get them removed with an iron although I would have liked to receive them in proper quality.

Similarly to the Farah style, the bottoms cover the bum pretty well.

The top has mesh on it and the orange looks really great with a tan.

Both of my bikinis came with a bag, the bag for the black neon is orange with mesh and the one for the Farah is blue.

I hope you liked this new review and I will maybe buy a new style and tell you all about it.

Love, Elise xx

Hello Lovelies,

The end of November has finally happened we are now dangerously approaching Christmas and I thought there was no better to start the month of December than doing a list of my favorite songs/albums/artists of the month of November. I have loved music ever since I can remember and I am grateful that I can buy that many albums on Itunes (I am approaching 3000 songs). This month was axed on what I call the new music meaning music that came out during the past two months, but I have loved listening to my all time favorite songs as well.

Here goes my list:

1. I Know What You Did Last Summer - Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello

2. Here - Alessia Cara

3. Sorry - Justin Bieber

4. Hello - Adele (duh)

5. Headlights & Sugar - Robin Schulz

6. Somewhere in Stockholm - Avicii

7. Riva - Klingande

8. Bite - Troye Sivan

9. Let it go - James Bay

10. Hold Back the River - Ben Howard

11. Higher Love & Wicked Game - James Vincent McMorrow

12. Fast Car - Tracy Chapman

13. England Skies - Shake Shake Go

14. Paradis Perdus - Christine and the Queens

15. Shine - Years & Years

16. Anything by the majestic Lilly Ahlberg

17. Lay it All On Me - Ed Sheeran and Rudimental

18. Lush Life - Zara Larson

19. History - One Direction

20. Cake by The Ocean - DNCE

And that's it for my favorite songs of the moment. They are quite mainstream I must say, but they really are the songs I will play when I need to feel better or when I have to get ready. I hope you enjoyed this weeks post and I will see you next week (most probably for a blog post about what I am offering this Christmas to my family).

Love, Elise xx

Hello Lovelies,

For my first post I thought they would be no better thing to talk about then books. Books are a few pages joined together that you read and that take you in adventures. I remember the first book I have ever read of my own free will : Paper Town. It was a simple book by John Green that changed my whole view on these sheets of paper. I ended up reading all of John Green's book from The Fault In Our Stars to Looking For Alaska.

Books make you feel less lonely in times of sadness and loneliness. Books take you on magical rides across a country, a universe, something you have always wanted to discover. You see the world with a different eye when you find this book that changes your whole point of view.

My first favorite book is a series I read on wattpad. My best friend sent me a message telling me all about the series that got her addicted. The series is called After, a fanfiction with Harry Styles as the main caracter of the book. I read the first book in a weekend and when came the time I had to go to school and I was left hanging. Anna Todd was and will still be the queen of cliff hangers.

My second favorite book is a book that changed my vision on everything., the book is called 'We all looked up'. The book is not only a book about sci-fi but is a book that will allow you to reflect on your life. The ending is beautifuly well written leaving you the place to think about how you want the ending to be. P.S.: do not read the name of the chapters it will you spoil you the whole book.

The third book is 'We were liars'. No explanations are needed this book blow your mind by the end of it.

The fourth book is a book entitled 'How To Love'. A book based on flashbacks between a woman's life before and after him. A sweet book to enjoy by the beach during summer.

My fifth favorite book can be no other than 'Things we know by heart' a sweet book about love, about grieving and about letting people in. The book is beautiful and you will want to hug your boyfriend, fiance, husband after this book and never let them go.

Hope you enkoyed this post it took me ahile to write it but I will soon be back with more posts.

Love, Elise xx
