First of, thank you so much for your advice on last post! As I read through your comments, I realized.. I need them. Quilted boots with beautiful heels. Was that really something I had to think about? Of course I should get them. I clicked my way into the Outnet, ignored all the new beautiful and heavily discounted things from Marni (did you see it?), my heart beating faster and faster….there they were.
SOLD OUT.
How on earth could I let this happen, again?

Christian Louboutin Pigalle Spike Red – here (only a few left)
I promise the shoe talk is over now. At least for a little while ;)
I noticed quite a few of you are missing posts with styles for men, and this makes me so delighted to hear as I think fashion for men is really fun. James left for London earlier today, but before he left we sat down and made a quick little list of must-haves and gift ideas together, so that will be coming soon :)
I sent the camera off to be repaired today, so makeup tutorials or anything else that requieres a camera will be difficult, and so I’m struggeling with ideas for posts. Any input would be much appreciated, so feel free to spam the comment section with ideas for posts you’ve been missing.
Now I’m off to do this week’s third run, hopefully I’ll be adding another 10km which will give my legs 30 km so far this week. I have signed up for a goal of 4 runs each week, and Nike+ knows how to trick me into thinking it’s all very fun. Deep down we all know it’s not fun until it’s over ;)
Hope you’re having a lovely day!! xx

We were going to get lovely updates on anything you took pics of and shopped for in London! Would love to see them – assuming you can just plug in the SD card and download pics without the camera :)
I also read the other a day a couple of older posts on your general advice looking back on your life experiences. It was definitely a refreshing and positive message, and I enjoyed reading posts of that type from you. We welcome your open thoughts!
I made a post of what I did in London already – you can see that here. I also made a post of what I bought, which you can see here.
Thank you for advice about posts about life, noted :D
Quite a challenge indeed, to tackle an appealing subject without any pics, especially since I really enjoy ur pics.
Speaking of running, can you put in some advice about running for beginners? I have tried my hand, or rather legs at it – and I start to puff and huff just 100 m into my so called run. I can walk fast – but running is sooo….it’s tough :|
Any tips you might have on this topic will be really appreciated :)
Keep up the upbeat attitude! You will reach ur goal of 40 km/w.
Hey Nima, try the Couch to 5K programe. That’s where I started. You run a bit, walk a bit and slowly build up your staminer until you’re just running. FYI – it doesn’t happen over night! It’s taken me ages to build up my staminer. Good luck!
Celina – maybe a redundant comment, given the status of your camera, but I’d love to know a bit more about your equipment, favourite lens, techniques etc. You clearly have a talent and it’s easy to see how much your skills have improved since you started this blog :)
Thanks a million!!!!
awesome shoes!

I have a makeup question for you! I love using the Urban Decay Naked Palette, but when I use the glittery tones, I get glitter all over my face! Do you have any tips for how to avoid getting the sparkles on your cheeks, or if unavoidable, a trick to make it go away!
I’m not Celina (!) but I hope you don’t mind my input :)
I’d recommend using a sticky base like Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy or Too Faced Glitter Glue. Both are designed to hold the glitter in place and really intensify the shadow. Also, try packing the shadow on with a wet brush instead of sweeping it across the lid!
Hi Celina, I’ve been a follower for a while but haven’t left a comment…at least I don’t think I have. :) I enjoy all of your posts! I really liked the video of your boat ride with cute little Linus. Maybe more videos (home tour after redecorating is complete, maybe) in the future would be fun. Or posts on some of your favorite blogs that inspire you. Or even more delicious and healthy recipes. :) No matter what you post, I’ll still enjoy your blog. I hope you’re having fun with Linus today!
Well when your camera gets fixed I would love to see more urban decay naked palette looks and some more everyday makeup looks :) Also, maybe start adding some more celebrity makeup looks? I absolutely LOVE when you do those!!!! Thanks for your time and amazing tutorials, sending you lots of love from America! :)
Aww, you’re an absolute sweetheart for planning to do the men’s style / gift ideas post! I cannot wait to see it! Aaaah – inspiration will make me very happy and be very appreciated :D xxx
Yes I agree, very good idea. Gift season starting soon.

What about a tour into your wardrobe, and you can show us your favorite accessorie pieces. And if you have any cravings for other accessories in shops now (bags, shoes, accessories and jewelry) that is very much welcome aswell!! :)
Oh no! So sorry for you! You`ll find another beautiful pair…but I know that feeling when you think about something you already really like WAAY too long….and then its sold out :D Have a nice evening xx
Hi Celina,
I would love to see a post on ideas/inspiration for evening wear/black tie/formal events! Maybe some advice about how to style the dress and how to find great accessories (heels, clutch) to complete the outfit. I have a formal event coming up and some advice from you would be greatly appreciated!
You’re amazing and keep being it!
Love,

I’d be happy if you took the time to answer my comment. You’re way in your twenties, you have no education or job(the blog does not count), so let me just ask you how you manage to buy all the expensive things that you have? You’re always writing posts about a new designer purse or a pair of designer shoes that you want or just ordered, but with WHO’S money? I already know the answer to that one though; your boyfriend. Why do you keep acting as if you’re this welathy, classy, rich, sucessful lady when you’re just living of your boyfriend’s money? And how do you even manage to live with yourself? In a relationship you’re supposed to share everything and split things, the man’s not supposed to be the one who pays for absolutely everything. I can’t understand that he actually stays with a golddigger like you. You should be ashamed. Get an education, get a job, make your own money and stop being so ”flashy” with all you’ve got when it actually belongs to your boyfriend. You’re just an unimployed, nearly-30-year-old woman who lives of gold-digging.
Anna,
Celina has mentioned before that she likes to keep some parts of her life private, so I think it is very rude to consider her a “golddigger” when really you have no idea of her personal life. Celina has chosen to share with us her clothes, make-up and travelling experiences because that’s what makes her happy and that is the part of her life which she has chosen to make public. Don’t bother reading the blog if you are going to be so negative towards a person you don’t even know.
Celina, I love reading your blog and appreciate that you like to keep some parts of your life private – it shows you have class.
Keep the posts coming sweetie :-)
xx
Oh my. If you don’t like it, why do you continue to read? It’s awfully difficult to judge a person correctly when you only ‘know’ them from the Internet. I would also suggest that you do a google search of the possibility of earning a living through blogging; It’s 2012 and luckily, for some people this is a viable way of earning an income. For the record, as much as I enjoy reading Celina’s blog, I am responding in her defense not because I am pretending to know more about her, but because you were so rude. On top of this, who are you to tell anyone the way they are living is shameful, whether it’s true or not.
She is getting an education – she just isn’t disclosing that information on here. Clearly, you aren’t a long time reader. And also, have you ever thought that maybe she comes FROM a rich family? Maybe you, Anna, should get an education. She clearly loves James if you read any of her other blog entries about him on here.
Stop being a mean person and go away if you can’t deal with the fact she has a wealthy lifestyle and you don’t. And stop making assumptions.
April recently posted..Photoshoot Love
Dear Anna,
1.What she supposed to do in this small village Monaco? She can’t speak french, so she can do some simply jobs, for example cleaning, which I am sure her boyfriend would not allow for. So Celina decided to make a blog. 2. I am sure she receives some money for these advertising she makes. 3. It is not our business what kind of relationship they have. 4. She is not acting as wealthy, classy and rich lady, quite the contrary, she acts like a spring chicken;) – always joyful and excited about small things. 5. Trust me, there are some “better” reasons to be ashamed.
how do you know that? :D
@Anna – You just made a public testimony of how sad and lonely and in what sorry state you are that you need to go to the extent of finding faults with others to make yourself feel better.
@Celina – “To jealousy, nothing is more frightful than laughter.” – Francoise Sagan
My sympathies, Anna. And the shoes look ridiculous.
“Unimployed” is correctly spelled “unemployed”. It is always wise to focus on improving oneself before criticizing others.
Jealousy is ugly. I feel sorry for you Anna. Sad.
And further more, who are YOU (Anna) to judge? You say you’re not jealous, your comments say otherwise. Good luck being happy in life with that attitude.
Oh my god how disgusting are you?Do you know Celina personally.. to say she doesn’t work? Because how the hell do you know what she does? You don’t!!
You are the one who should be ashamed, speaking to another human being that way and calling her a gold digger when you know NOTHING about her or her money! Just disgusting way to speak to some one.
If you dont like this blog then dont read it, quite simple really isn’t it? You have NO right to judge someone based on stuff you don’t know!!
Anna, you should be ashamed for making such a judgement without reading Celina’s posts. If you read them, you’d see that she is doing plenty of things with her life (and she may not share all of them with us because frankly, they are her business). You don’t have any clue how much money she has of her own/had before meeting James. You should also know from posts from both Celina and James that your comments are disrespectful to both of them and way off base. By the way, if you haven’t read into the details, you can at least look at basic wording. She hasn’t said James bought her these things. She has bought them herself. I feel sorry for you, Anna, as you must be terribly unhappy to try to tear down someone who happens to be mostly happy at the moment and who takes the time to listen and respond to her readers.
Celina, a friend of mine recently posted a quote that made me smile. It was something to the effect of “When someone keeps trying to bring you down, it just means they see you as above them.” I hope you know that many of us actually read your posts and wish you well, and we see the beautiful spirit that shines through in your photos and video. As for ideas for blog posts, you could do some more “favourites” type things where you either show or link to pictures from other sites. You could also take it as an opportunity to experiment with writing on topics you care about :)
Celina, please make a life attitude post! I miss your lifestyle advices. Thank you!
Hi Celina,
I’d love a post on how you are using the Nike+ app and if you would reccommend it….and as the new owner of my first ever iPhone (5) I’d love to know what other apps you reccommend??
Thnkas, Jen
Hi Celina, What a terrible feeling when something you wanted is sold out! I hope they will be back. Love the red beauties, they will liven up any outfit!
Perhaps I missed out but have you ever posted about hair extensions? If not, maybe some hair extension advice or tutorials?
Shopaholic in London recently posted..Michael Kors Sloan Shoulder bag – my new party bag
Celina, you should just to ignore “some mess” above…Let’s talk about your positive energy and happiness :) Yes… I miss your posts about life and relationships…that makes me happy :) You’re very talented and good person. Your blog “talks” about it. You take amazing pictures and make helpful tutorials (I came back for your post about how to apply dark lipstick properly, because I bought red lipstick and had a problem with it) I like your untypical concept for blogging, everything is clear in good taste! More posts please :D Big hug for you and your sweet Linus xx
Celina,
please, do not bother with comments envious. How do you buy your stuff is your problem and nobody else’s.
If you studied or not is your problem. If you work or not is your problem. No one should judge you.
I wish you get all the nice things you want – and hope you keep sharing with us your achievements.
I wish you all the best!
Luciana from Brazil.
So it’s not okay for me to tell when I find something shameful, but it’s okay for you to call me that? Hypocrites much. I don’t need to know Celina’s personality in order to judge her the way I have. I judge her by the lifestyle, which her blog is all about, and the information she’s given out regarding that lifestyle. And yes, I am actually a long time read, and I was actually a fan of her for quite some time. She’s answered previous questions about education before, and she says she hasn’t any higher education than high school. And yes, you are able to make some good money when having a sucessful blog, but you’re not able to live that kind of lifestyle with those money. Besides, Celina’s blog isn’t that big anyways, seeing as her comments are so few. This is the equation I’m getting: No education + wealthy lifestyle + rich boyfriend = golddigger. I’m not a sad person, nor am I lonely. I’m quite content with my life; I’m not rich or poor, I’m normal. I’m not jealous of Celina either, I’m just making a statement and telling my opinion. I’m a confiedent girl with ambitious goals in my life. To me it’s just pathetic to see a grown woman with no education just be given a life like she has. I feel so sorry for her boyfriend, and I can’t believe she’d even to this to a person. That’s LOW. There doesn’t have to be anything ”wrong” with people who simply have a negative view on something that the majority of people don’t. Like I’ve said, I’m not sad, lonely, angry, suicidal, poor, jealous, depressed or anything like that. I’m just a normal girl with a different opinion than yours.
Anna, your comments just speak to how LOW you are and not Celina. We still love her, her life is still fabulous with our without your comments, and she inspires a lot of girls out there with her positivity. You’re just wasting everyone’s time including your own. So please go pursue your “ambitions” and try not to be as rude in those pursuits otherwise you won’t get very far. Everyone has their own path in life and Celina is 100% allowed to live it the way she sees fit. Keep inspiring us Celina!!
Anna, have you ever taken into consideration the fact that blogs are a way of income and occupation? You don’t know how much Celina makes, nor is it any of your business. Before going and jumping to conclusions about someones lifestyle, ask them about what they do, what they’re ambitions are, and ask about education. If you’ve read any of Celina’s blog, which you obviously haven’t, you’d know she is studying some courses and is expanding her education – what she is learning is NONE of your business, again. I have a very well off boyfriend, and I work very hard myself, also going to school full time – just because women like to treat themselves to goodies like designer hand bags and shoes, how does that make them a gold digger? Or take away from their ambitions? You seem unhappy with yourself, not even able to spell words that your keyboard “auto-corrects” for you.
This goes back to my childhood… But, “if you have nothing nice to say, don’t bother saying anything at all.”
And also, you’re not stating an opinion, you’re judging someone without any credibility.
Celina, keep blogging :) I visit everyday to awe at the goodies!
I just think it’s disgusting to assume things about people you don’t know at all. For all you know she has an inheritance from a dead family member – which would be a touchy subject. And it’s not like James is the only person in the world that has a well-paying job, she’s from a bloody oil country, would you hate her if she accepted money from a hard-working loving father also? The point is: there is no need to speculate, it’s really none of our business. None of the big international bloggers speak about how much they earn and how anyway, and yes, many of them come from rich families anyway. You obviously need a distraction in life since you have the energy to care about this: I propose Breaking Bad. It’s a brilliant series, and takes plenty of time off your hands.
Anna,
You’re a poor woman, unhappy and unloved. Probably is fat, ugly and single. Just saw, I judged you too!! Liked to be judged?
Go to work and study and do not spend more time here, envious.
Oh my god, you are seriously the most ignorant and stupid person in the world! A lot of people live the lifestyle Celina does – its called being privileged! Who cares? Her blog is about shopping and travel, she hasn’t lied to anyone and I enjoy reading about her exploits – it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t work or not and the fact you think James supports her is laughable. You have no idea of their financial relationship and as I said on a previous comment to you, she probably comes from a rich family!
Go away you silly presumptuous girl.
April recently posted..Photoshoot Love
And here you are AGAIN being disgusting, you are just a vile person!!
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT to know anything about Celina personal life, so who the hell are you to think you do??
@Anna- So if two people are in love, they shouldn’t be together unless they are both working outside of the home? Or else it means that the one without a job is automatically gold-digging? OH MY, that is laughable! And it also means millions of stay-at-home wives & mothers around the world are gold-diggers (my mother included). And you feel sorry for James? Because you realize you’re also insulting him by saying that he’s the type of man who would support a gold-digger, or be so blind as to unknowingly date one. The only one that needs any pity here is you. Who spends their time following & commenting on someone’s blog that they supposedly dislike so much? There’s a fine line between love, hate, and jealousy. Did you accomplish what you wanted to by saying these things? Because I’m pretty sure all you’ve done is make hundreds of people laugh at you and point out what a small, ignorant, jealous person you are (which you already know, because happy, self-confident people don’t feel the need to bring other people down…and intelligent people don’t pretend to know people they don’t).
@Celina- I’ve been a (silent) follower (from the U.S.) for a while, but I couldn’t keep my silence on this one! I hope you’re strong enough to ignore these types of sad, ignorant little people- and it seems you are! ;) I won’t claim to know you, as I only know what you want your followers to know (you hear that, Anna?), but you seem as though you have a kind heart and beautiful soul! Never stop blogging on account of these people, or they win ;) xo -N

And she’s the pathetic one with no education? Quiz, how many grammar/spelling mistakes can you find in the snippets below?
“I am actually a long time read”
“and she says she hasn’t any higher education than high school”
“live that kind of lifestyle with those money”
“I’m a confiedent girl with ambitious goals in my life”
Well guess what, Anna? You can share all the opinions you want, but no one asked for any of them. Keep it to yourself.
I just bought Nike+. What do you think about it? Tomorrow will be my first day using it!
lots of love
Krystle xxoo
That comment from Anna is disappointing.
If Celina is happy and if James is happy then that is all that matters.
I personally think it is GREAT that Celina has the freedom within her relationship to do what she believes makes her happy.
I think it shows James cares for her. And I am certain that if she wanted to work, he would support her decision to do so.
And also – so what if someone doesn’t continue their education? You can learn a heck of a lot about a number of different things OUTSIDE of university. University might help you specialise in one area and help you get a career but if you don’t need to work and you want to follow a number of pursuits then university might not be for you! And there is not a single thing wrong with that. In fact, it might even make for a more broad-minded person.
Personally, I think it’s ignorant to assume that uni and career are the ONLY reasonable path for a woman to take. It takes all types of people to make the world go round. Judging and criticising someone for not doing what you do is the height of egocentricity. I hope people learn to keep their negative and critical comments to themselves.
Anna recently posted..WEAR YOUR HEART ON YOUR TEE
Wow. The hostility in some of these comments is disturbing, and the fact that anyone thinks of themselves as important enough to have an opinion worth Celina’s concern is equally appalling. The self-entitlement people feel is pretty incredible. I personally don’t know why anyone judging her, or anyone at all… feels it’s their business what this woman’s personal life and financial situation are, nor do I believe (or care) whether or not she’s uneducated, unemployed or a gold digger. I read the blog because it’s interesting, the fashion and beauty posts are interesting, and I have never been to Monaco, and it’s like getting to see it from a resident’s/transplant’s perspective, since I will probably never live there/get to visit.
Celina: I am an off and on reader for about maybe 6ish months now, and kind of live vicariously through you. I love to see what your life is like, what neat purchases you make, your outfits and cosmetics, etc. I don’t think you have anything to apologize for, and certainly don’t believe you have anything to explain about your life off of the blog.
