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.

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!

Golden leaves

The cold season and my favourite time of year is slowly coming and I can't wait for the Advent time to start, but it is a little hard to say goodbye to the gold Autumn with its' beautiful golden leaves. I lovel this time when every color is so warm and vibrant. It is always a difficult time to dress as it gets quite sunny and warm during the day. This look turned out too warm for the day, but was quite chilly later when the sun set. I am just glad that I didn't catch a cold like Mr.B as work has been so busy recently and I couldn't be sick at home right now. As it did snow today though, the time for such outfits might be up now.

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 ... :)

The perfect Disneyland dress I found too late

This is probably my favourite dress in my current collection of Eshakti dresses and I found it just a bit late for our trip to Disneyland in Spring. The red is such a beautiful rich color and works really well with my hair color. The dots are actually stitched on and not printed which made me hope for longevity. We will see about that as some ends seem to be just a tad loose. Other than that the fabric seems a little bit wrinkled because of the sewing, which then give some kind of structured look to the loose skirt fabric. I actually don't mind it and don't need to iron it as much for this reason. This dress is so nice in quality even though it is a bit tricky to wash with the white trim on the sash. I still love it and maybe we need to go to Disneyland once again now to take it for a spin there :) ! Wore this outfit for my sister's Disney-themed Birthday party, so it did get to see some Disney already.

Cute little photo bomber! Sisu, our cat, has gotten so big. She is no kitten any longer. But still so cute.

Marine Chic

Twice a year is the biggest time for sales and I do try to stay away from them as best I can. Still, the promotion emails show up and one gets tempted to buy new things. This happens especially with me and vintage reproduction brands. Most of them are quite affordable, but I do like the UK-based brands Vivien of Holloway and Collectif. They produce in the UK and the products seem good quality and well made. They are pricey though and with shipping, it adds up. I often shop only during the sales and this year I got lucky with this amazing peplum blazer. I got my great winter coat and lots of cardigans as wardrobe staples, but I was missing a fitted blazer to wear with all my dresses. Here, I paired it with one of my dresses from Eshakti, my other sale weakness. It seems that every dress I currently wear comes from that brand. Their deals are great and I get tempted quite often. This black dress for example is a great staple to have. I might have to get it in another color combination soon. Wore this look for a family birthday lunch and felt well dressed.

When it's cold and grey - wear red!

It's no secret that I love Winter. Snow is my element but Winter often brings lots of cold and grey days as well. I am not the biggest fan of those dreary days and try to brighten up my outift with color to make this more bearable for me. My favourite color for the cold Winter months is red, a bright fireengine red, often with a blue undertone. I add it into my outfits mainly through accessories, but I've also got several pieces in my wardrobe, like this blouse, that make for a wonderful pop of color. What's your favourite color to wear during Winter or do you have other tips to brighten up a look during those grey Winter months?
