Floral Berries

I am in the mood for all things floral right now! That's what Spring usually does to me, it's nothing ground-breaking, but florals are in style each Spring so why not embrace it!? I am starting small with this skirt that has a cool poppy print, which fades away close to the waistline. I added a simple knit top, my favourite denim jacket and a strawberry wicker bag to the outfit. It feels good to dress for Spring and this look has been one favourite so far.

New Year's Eve Look 2017

After celebrating the wedding of Mr.B's sister in this amazing dress by LindyBop, I decided to get it in red for Christmas in the Black Friday sales. They sent it to me quickly, but it did arrive labeled wrong. I got one size smaller than I wanted. As the dress was on sale, shipping it back would have been quite expensive AND after it was all settled with the refund the dress was out of stock. Thankfully, I could keep the mislabeled dress and it just about fits. Might have to loose a couple of pounds for it to fit nicely, but I still love it. Added some sparkle to the look and wore my new golden bag that Mr.B gifted me for Christmas! Perfect Christmas Day outfit, but would also look very nice for New Years Eve. 

With that I wish you all the best for 2018! We will celebrate with friends and our little cat is hopefully not too scared by the fireworks.

Me behind the scenes as it was really chilly during this outfit session.

60s wedding guest

I recently was invited to my sister-in-law's wedding and decided to wear a twin piece by Lindy Bob, as it was an October wedding and I definitely wanted to wear a dress with a matching jacket. That is not an easy task when it comes to reproduction or vintage pieces. Not a lot of companies produce matching jackets to their dresses that I liked, but this Marianne Swing dress in Teal was the perfect choice. I love the fit of the dress and jacket, with a long enough hem line for my preference and the 3/4 length arms. The color is so fresh and I got a lot of compliments on my bold choice. The fabric is nice and heavy and the skirt swings well. I did wear a petticoat underneath for that extra puff, but you could wear it on its' own as well. I did want to wear light colored accessories with the look, but when the day came, the weather was really bad with a lot of rain and I didn't want to ruin my beige shoes, therefore I opted for all black accessories. These mary jane shoes are a total staple in my wardrobe and I currently own them in 5 different colors. One for every occasion, but these black ones are never a bad choice.

Pink and Black Spring Look

I am finally back in the game after my week in London. School trips are never an easy thing to do and I felt so tired after that week. Lot's of people always think that the life of a teacher is so nice, having so many days off, going on school trip aka. paid vacation and so on, but in reality that is just so much hard work. When you are running around an unknown city with 20 kids under 18 that have been given into your care and them just being carefree, well that makes you a mom of 20 with one foot in jail should anything happen to them. Let's call this anything but vacation right there ;) 

I needed a lot of rest and spend some time with Mr.B and the family to get back in the game. This week also finally gave us some nice Spring/ early Summer weather and I love it. The look shown here is from the first week of April actually, which was the only nice week for the past 6 weeks or so and it felt silly to post those sunny pictures later on with snow and rain for the main part of last month. So finally sharing this look, which is a favourite every Spring and Autumn. This Lindy Bop Dress is a huge favourite, but has been discontinued in this print. What a shame, as it is such a beauty!

Snow Princess

You all know my love for the 50s look by now and even though it is ice cold winter, I don't want to neglect my beautiful 50s dresses and skirts. With a nice pair of tights, they are also wearable in Winter. I also got this nice floral number that does scream Spring to me. My parents gave it to me as a nice birthday gift and I just couldn't wait till Spring to take it out on a spin. I wore this look for my grandpa's birthday last weekend and it suited the occasion just fine. Also, look at those snowy pictures! I felt like a snow princess and got quite some looks while we took the photos! Only Queen Elsa's dress is more suited for snow and ice!

Headpiece: no name

Necklace: gift

Ring: Bijou Brigitte

The back of the dress and the top part are made of white dotted mesh and one needs to wear a strapless bra to not destroy the look. It is made of a great quality, quite heavy fabric that feels amazing. It has lining all the way and doesn't even need a petticoat to have a nice wide skirt. The petticoat gives it an extra puff. I love this dress and can't wait to wear it in Spring with the cherry blossoms or in Summer for upcoming weddings and parties outside. 

Dark Florals

It's been unusually warm these past few days. Last weekend, Mr.B ran his first full marathon and me and my mom almost froze to the spot at -1°C. Now it has been up to 14°C and this called for a last dress and denim jacket look during this Autumn season. Noone knows when we will get the chance again before Spring!

A Date with Mickey & Minnie

Mr.B and I have celebrated our 5th year anniversary recently (this look is from that night) and instead of making each other big gifts, we decided to go on a romantic trip to Paris. It's been a lifelong dream of mine to visit the city of love with the man of my life and it's finally going to happen. We are currently on our way there and will spend 6 days in the city of love. Of course, we won't leave without a visit to Disneyland and as a matter of fact we are living in a Hotel quite close to the Disney village. Tonight, we are going on a date with Mickey and Minnie and I will most likely wear this look for the occasion.

I actually bought this dress in December and have only worn it two times until now to save it for this special moment. It was quite tight when I ordered it and since first wearing it here, I actually lost 12kg. Mr.B and I have decided to work on that Bikini figure in Spring and so far it worked out great. I am so glad that this dress has some stretch and still fits amazingly! I have packed a petticoat, of course and can't wait to take a spin in it in Paris!
