Finally! January is over and February is now upon us. If it was not for the snow and rain here in Aarhus, I would be looking forward to spring. This ambivalence may show through my favourites from January's new arrivals in the web-shops. Still a lot of black and classic pieces but with the bright spring and giddy-happy colours taking over bit by bit.

 

I am a sucker for draping and good tailoring and nom nom nom.. all good this past month! Oh, and throw in the colour pink and I could not be happier..

i cannot decide which Bayswater I like the best: the blush or the hot pink!? Both please.. However, I am very intrigued by the orange and grey dress by Roksanda Ilincic because I think orange hues are the most difficult to wear. At least for me.

And top it off with nice shoes and your zodiac necklace and come what may...

Endelig er januar ovre og februar godt på vej. Hvis det ikke var for slud og regn her i Århus ville jeg næsten tro på at foråret var på vej.

Denne ambivalente følelse viser sig måske i mine favoritter fra diverse butikker på nettet. Der er stadig en masse klassiske sorte varer men de lyse og sjove forårsvarer er også på vej ind i garderoberne.

 

Jeg elsker virkelig draperinger og god skrædderkunst og jeg blev ikke skuffet i denne måned. Og hvis man inkluderer farven pink, så er jeg altid glad! Så jeg kan simpelthen ikke vælge hvilken Mulberry Bayswater-taske som jeg helst vil have: den pudderfarvede eller den skrigende pink? helst begge, tak!

Ikke desto mindre er jeg meget fascineret af den orange og grå kjole fra Roksanda Ilincic, for jeg synes at orange er den sværeste farve at bære. I hvert fald for mig.

Men man kunne jo prøve at bruge smukke sko og en halskæde med ens stjernetegn til.

{Chanel Haute Couture}

Some beautiful photos of the devine collection fra Chanel. Granted, there were a few pieces which were off key in my opinion, but overall the standard was very high. I love the palette of pale pink, grey, and black. Especially the dress just below is my favourite look - I just wish it was full length!!

How wonderful it must be to see these works of art up close, and to study the embroidery and feather details. I get easily fed up with the looks par se but I admire the craftsmanship anyday - even with the looks I am initially less keen on. I still don't understand the wing-trend going on at Chanel (like the photo above). Nevertheless, I am sure they look faboulous up close.

Well, there isn't really much to say about this, except that it is a very beautiful and cohesive collection, and I will start sporting the palette, and perhaps embellish a beanie!

Weekly Favourites 50

weekly Favourites 50 by maudline

Markus Lupfer slogan tee, $296 RED valentino, £480 Barbarella, $12 RED Valentino skirt, £395 Lanvin, $75 Necklace, €204Premium Black Mask Headpiece, £35 Fashion Fairy Tale Memoirs | Manolo Blahník and the Tale of The Elves..., €43Native Union | Native Union Gold Pop Phone at ASOS

I don't know whether it is my deminishing eager of this weekly feature (I have thought of changing it into a monthly instead) or because I am especially peckerish this week because I had a hard time finding things I liked enough to share here.

Ironically, the things on here that I like the best, I cannot even buy (yet) since I don't own an iPhone. But don't you just adore the gold Native Union phone attatchment?! And together with a Lanvin cover (which unfortunately is sold out already over at net-a-porter) they are the perfect match for the über-stylish phoner, no?

Lately, I have been more fond of my black jewelry than the rest. Even the glossiest and most sparkly jewels get a little more sophisticated look when they are in black, and off course, on a whole-black ensemble like the RED Valentino one, this necklace would be incredible.

And for kicks, an embroidered T-shirt of perfume bottles and a stunning mask with feathers for New Year's.. 

Do you dress up at New Year's Eve, even attend masquerades? I have never heard of anyone besides the royals who actually did, so I would love to hear if you do... I guess, it works better if you are many than just the usual crowd though. The allure would perhaps be quite small, and not a lot of flirting, I think. No one to draw pink hearts on with the TOPSHOP nail art pen. 

Anything you guys fancy on here? 

Winter Stills from Tine K Home

My post on the rustic winter decor trend has had lots of attention from blogland, and when I saw these pictures, I immediately thought of you guys. They are from Tine K Home and they are dark and edgy, and yet I could easily see myself decorating like this. Just add some candles and a ceramic vase with branches in bloom. I especially like the rough concrete look of the walls.

It has a very open atmosphere. You wouldn't feel like suffocating here (one of my minor phobias) and the look of the pictures reminds me of dark water. A lake at dusk with the dew settling on the grass and cold enough to see your breath when you exhale.

Roksanda Ilincic bride dress, £516 Dress, £410 Sweater, €690 Vanessa Bruno Athé embellished top, $275 Skirt, €820 Marc Jacobs | Metallic lamé and mesh striped dress , €2.530 Donna Karan draped skirt, $1,295 Pumps, €1.325 Valentino round toe shoes, $905 Pumps, €566Christian Louboutin leather shoes, $645 Lanvin quilted leather handbag, $1,490 Mulberry bag, £795 Kevia cocktail jewelry, $52 Vintage Heirloom Chanel Velvet Classic Bag

Even though we have just made our way into Winter, the retailers and online shops are already making us crave for Spring and colours. I found myself torn between the subtle casual hues and the bright fun colours. Especially the grass-green Mulberry Bayswater has got my heart fluttering like a butterfly. The most perfect Spring colour yet.. On the other side, the Vanessa Bruno athe jumper had my eyes cast longful glanses at it. And the rustic gold-drop earrings are quite devine in my opinion.

I guess, I will pair the items up like the miu miu collection; girly pastels along with deep black accents and very clean silouhettes. Very elegant and not over the top. I just wish that the prozes were lower. For a little-sister brand it is almost as expensive as the mother-line Prada. If it wasn't for the fact that it has my name all over it, I would be quite annoyed with that.

Anyways, what do you guys favour? Do you dare to wear all colours without toning it down with black or grey? Or do you never wear colours besides nude and camel?

Sleeveless dress, $92 See by Chloe silk top, £219 TopShop fur collar coat, $560 Coat, $170 L'Agence elastic waist pants, $350 Nylon tight, $20Alexander Wang stacked heel, £485 TopShop suede shoes, $104 Quilted handbag, $3,197 Vintage shoulder bag, $3,197 One Vintage | Bianna dress , €1.323 Moschino Cheap and Chic | Bow-detailed crepe dress , €665  IRENE NEUWIRTH | Rare..., £30,715 MELISSA Flat pump, £68

I'm on the search for some good fall and winter boots, stylish enough to go with my pretty girly dresses and practical enough to conquer the snow in Denmark in the winter. All the pretty and most stylish boots have very high heels, and even though I love them and they make me look great, it wont be the same effect when I fall head-first in the snow or on the icy streets.. But maybe these Alexander Wangs will do the trick of combining both? The heel seem managable and they would give my dresses an edge.

Oh, and how about those earrings? I really thought it was a glitch when I read the prize tag but apparently no.. Now I know what rare sapphires cost - in case I ever needed that information for - you know - to buy them! I guess the tattoo tights are more within my range of pleasing my bank account manager. No need to riun her day so early in the month, right?

Anyways, hope you all have a great weekend with or without splurges or expenses..

Gown, €803 Schumacher capri, $319 Miu miu shoes, $355 One Vintage | Ashley dress | NET-A-PORTER.COM, €1.280 Vionnet Embossed Silk-Blend Cropped Pants, £242 3.1 Phillip Lim | Belted structured-satin playsuit | NET-A-PORTER.COM, $775

I haven't really been into a shopping mood today. At least it was very limited the amount of items I clipped to Polyvore, and most very classic like these. Well, I guess it comes and goes really - at least I added a full length gown and sequins! Then I haven't lost it yet, ha!

Anyhow, I really like that the Schumacher capris is called Modern Audrey - then you just HAVE to clip it..

But again, another classic. And I did buy a sparkly deep red nail polish from SpaRituals which looks a little like OPI's 'Ali's Big Break' but I will show you when I get time to try it on. It just looked so cute in the bottle and for 38 Dkr (about £3.5) I couldn't resist.

I guess that's all from me now, so have a great weekend and see you Sunday for my Sonnet Sunday-post..
