Archive find: Pink Fling

This has been an archive find. I opened blogger after a long time and this post was waiting to be posted. Well, better late than never! Here is a true pink look that has been a constant in my wardrobe for a while. I habe to say that I have given the shoes and the cardigan to goodwill since taking these outfits but they have been replaced by very similar pieces. A good pair of pumps and cardigans are just staples in my wardrobe.

Burgund for Winter

This dress has been my favourite these past months. I love the rose print and the comfort of the jersey top. It fits well and gives me a put together look that works well for work and for parties. Wore this on Christmas day and had all eyes on me. Sadly the skirt got stuck on the rose bushes on the way and I got a little tear in my skirt. Hope I can repair it.

LBD for Christmas

Wearing all black for an advent dinner. This dress has been waiting for its' first outing for a couple of weeks and now it is finally time. I opted for all black and some pearl accessories to give it a classic look. The LBD is always a good idea to be well dressed. This new version with its' eyelet fabric is not too chic and will work well also as an office outfit with some less fancy accessories.

Flannel dress - yes, please!

This Spring we have been experiencing ups and downs in weather that made me keep my warmer dresses out for just a bit longer and it gives me an excuse to introduce my lumberjack flannel dress here on the blog. I love the soft fabric and I feel instantly well-dressed for work. It is one of my more casual pieces, but it is oh so comfortable. In combination with black accessories it works really well and I can see myself wearing this a lot in Autumn and Winter as well. During that day it was especially cold and I added this warm and fluffy sweater to the outfit. It kept me nice and warm all day. Definitely had to pack that one away already, but it will be back out in Autumn for sure.

Hello there little photo bomber!

Polkadots are always a good idea

During the Easter weekend we spent a lot of time with family and it was the perfect time to take my new favourite polkadot dress for a spin. I always feel like celebrations with family call for a nice dress and this look was just right for a nice afternoon with my favourite people. I do love polkadots and will get a ton of wear out of this dress, but I always save my new dresses for a special occasion to wear it the first time and give it a special memory, too. Am I the only one who does that?! I also added my new glasses from Zeelool to the look as it worked so well with the black and red. I call them my Batman glasses that work really nicely with my more rockabilly inspired outfits. I have been on the lookout for some special glasses frames for a while, but in Germany cateye glasses seem to be a novelty and I had to look online. I am pretty happy with the frames and got my local optician to put in my prescription as I was not sure if my old one was still fitting. Next time I might get them with prescription from Zeelool.

What I wore

Dress: Eshakti

Jacket: Primark

Glasses: Zeelool

Tights: Esda

Pinks and Blues for Spring

We are currently experiencing the real April weather. One day it is sunny with almost 20 degrees Celcius and the next day we experience minus degrees, snow, hail and all kinds of weird combinations. The first flowers do blossom, but this cold destroys most of them quickly and we do have lots of grey days where only bright colors can chear up the mood. I tend to wear something more colorful during those days and this is one of those looks. This dress is easy to throw on for work or a coffee date with friends and the blue peplum jacket is a definite favourite with all my swing dresses and skirts. This might just turn into one of my staples for 2019. What are your tips for grey days?

Transitioning to Spring in red and blue

While the snow has been melting, I can't get enough of the cold. I love dressing up in layers, even though I don't like the minus degrees too much. The early Spring days with warmer temperatures that still call for tights, but allow you to wear dresses and lighter jackets, those are my favourites. I did injure my foot during Autumn and just now can wear most of my shoes again. How I missed my Mary Janes! I do own this style in 6 colours now and love how comfortable they are while giving me just a couple of cms for height (which I really don't need at 6'3'', but a heel gives such a nice look). Once again blue and burgundy works well for me during the colder months and this look has been a staple for work and weekend events as well.

Christmas Eve look

- My little photo bomber Sisu once again in action! -

This Christmas has been full of family gatherings and I used the opportunity to wear some of my favourite vintage pieces as well as some new additions to my wardrobe. This look was my outfit for Christmas Eve that I celebrated with Mr.B and my family. Love this deep red color this season and combined some faux fur pieces that are my vintage favourites. How did you spend your Christmas this year? We are now on our way for a little trip to Finland for New Years Eve and I hope to start my 2019 with some amazing moments in my favourite country up north.

Skirt: Eshakti

Paris 2018 - Disneyland Day II

Paris was beautiful this year and our second day at Disneyland was full of sunshine and hot temperatures. A thunder storm was coming though and the air was really humid. I wore this floral dress and was quite the centre of attention while walking through the park as this print is actually quite loud when you don't wear it with a jacket. It's fully lined and therefore not the lightest dress, quite heavy and I did get just a little hot wearing it. Still loved the look and had so much fun looking girly in Disneyland!

We had so much fun at all the attractions that had been closed during our 2016 visit. My personal favourite was Casey Jr. Mr B. was quite surprised as he had thought it to be a little kids attraction. It was so much fun!

Sadly we got caught in the storm and got soaked while waiting in line at the Carrousel de Lancelot. We did go back to the hotel then and missed out on my favourite - Dumbo the Flying Elephant. The Mad Hatter Tea Cups were closed off during our stay and I was really sad about missing out on these, but we finally crossed all other rides off our lists. Of course, we want to come back to visit Disneyland one day again, but right now, I'd rather visit another country in rather than coming back to Paris in the near future. Well, Tokyo has got a great Disneyland ... :)
