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.

Winter Elegance Extraordinaire

It is freezing here in Denmark at the moment, and thus it is one of the only times I rejoice in my somewhat voluntary confinement working on my thesis in doors. (sorry for the long hiatus though my posts will probably be very scattered until April when I finish) It is so cold I get migraines if I don't have something very warm protecting my ears when I go out. But how to combine practicality and elegance?

 

One of my top style wishes is to one day have a white fur hat. Ever since I saw Liz: The Elizabeth Taylor Story and saw the perfect white fur fox hat, it has been my ultimate luxury item. Luckily, I live in a country which experience such low temperatures every year so I could justify the use of such a hat. And of course there are starting to be some very nice and elegant faux choices too which don't look like plastic of wool, as well as the vintage option.

So in future winter fashion elegance aspirations, here are some of the most beautiful looks around the internet.

Vintage Miscellaneus

A little something something from the old magazines I bought a while back. These are from the 50s and 60s.

My dream is to have teak tree surniture as shown in the ad below. So awesome but so expensive too.. Alas! But I can still dream-decorate my future home and I must admit that is half the fun of decorating - at least!



The text says "Another Cardin-inspired spring model with a small twisted brim. It is made in satin-duchesse quilted on felt so it can be worn from the earliest spring.."

 Gorgeous, no?

This was actually a pattern but unfortunately I don't know how to knit so I am not sure how to translate it for you guys..

But a very sweet summer dress in...... orange? Or sea green?

I like the model's hair as well.

Hope you liked them..

Thakoon draped top, £1,105 Carven ruffle top, £75 Donna Karan drape jacket, $1,995 Fnubbu - Flagermus jersey bluse med silke striber - pudder -..., 1.600 DKK Tiered skirt, $2,390 Surface To Air pumps, €374 Chloé shoulder handbag, $1,295 Lanvin leather flower belt, $1,290Eugenia Kim camel hat, €410 Dolce Gabbana suspender, £215 Girls' crystal glam tie, $40American Vintage - Kort strik sweater - mørkegrå - YouHeShe.com, 1.200 DKK

Finally! Still don't know why it didn't show up yesterday but now it is here.. Since I saw the J-Crew crystal tie over at Pinterest I have been quite obsessed with it. Sadly though they don't ship to Denmark but I'm thinking of a little DIY. In my mind it is not that difficult, however, reality will show that my embroidering skills may lack some elegance. Nevermind that now though.

I'm quite fond of the suspenders too. Maybe I'm having a men's wear moment? But with a touch of glitter it can't be all wrong, no?

Hope you have had a lovely weekend, and see you in the new one...
