Hi lovelies.. This is going to be like an old recording machine gone broken because yet again I feel like this month rushed by and not really saying 'hi' or anything. Crazy fast, really.

However, state of the affairs are well. Posting my synopsis for one of my exam projects today and attending a guest lecture by Prof. Juliet John in my Charles Dickens-course in which my exam topic has also been accepted, so all in all, just crazy work schedule with exams, teachings, family gatherings, and trying to pick up a moment or two to catch my breath.

I am also in the bud of deciding on my master's thesis topic so I can apply for a mentor medio May. So weird that I am writing my final piece (hopefully!) this fall! Then no more school but just the real world. Scary, but also terribly exciting.

Anyways, if we get back to the main reason of today, the fashion, I. WANT. ALL.

I am not even sure whether I can pick one favourite over them all which I am usually able to. Now that I look at the pieces together, it seems like I have quite an eclectic style. With bits of street, bits of glamour, bits of vintage, bits of quirky, bits of rock.

Sadly though, none of this is in my actual closet, but if I had the money, I think the first piece I would buy is the Chloé bell sleeve dress because it is so versatile. The last would probably be the Miu Miu iPhone case since I don't actually own an iPhone, so purchasing a case would probably be a tad silly of me, no?

Oh well, one can dream while treading around Aarhus in my blue Converse and shift dresses. And that's is certainly not too bad either.

Cheers for now, and see you in May!

Monthly Favourites {January}

Monthly Favourite "January 12" by maudline

Miu Miu embellished dress, $2,390 RED Valentino bow dress, £390 Vionnet cap sleeve dress, $2,250 Lanvin tweed skirt, $1,500Acne knee length pencil skirt, £270 Ankle booties, €750 Miu miu shoes, $559 Miu Miu shoulder strap bag, $1,625 Olympia Le Tan clutch bag, £955 Rolex vintage style watch, $8,495 Stine Goya gold ring, €160 Miu Miu Dog motif crepe cropped jacket, $2,250Designers Remix Sign - Høj læder støvlet med neon hæl - crème -..., 3.000 DKK Lanvin Set of envelopes and colored pencils, $115

Hi guys, as I mentioned back in December, I have decided to do change my Weekly Favourites to a monthly feature in stead. It is rather time consuming going through many webshops each week so I have narrowed it down to the shops I visited the most in the first place and then just once a month. 

This will hopefully also give room for more diverse posts in stead of just these favourites of mine.

Anyways, it seems as if I really have become a French chic kinda girl because labels like Miu Miu, Vionnet and Lanvin just echoes my name all over every time. Add a little Scandinavian Edge and it is my dream wardrobe.

I am quite infatuated with the embroidered book clutches by Olympia Le Tan and the one with Shakespeare's collected works is a bibliophile's idea of fashion heaven! Unfortunately, the Shakespeare one is already sold-out but there are several cute and awesome ones like Lolita, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Dangerous Liasons. 

This past weekend, we had snow for the first time this winter but oh, how I long for spring and bold colours.. I may actually buy that Acne skirt just because of the beautiful colour. Also, I would like classic items in more unusual colours so this would be ideal.

And for kicks, the Stine Goya & Sophie Bille Brahe gold Horse ring and the Miu Miu cherry sandals. So cute...

Well, that's all from me now - back to homework (classes start tomorrow!) and see you soon.

Weekly Favourites 49

weekly favourites 49, 2011 by maudline

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?  

Weekly Favourites 45

Weekly Favourites 45 by maudline

Temperley London ball gown, $3,170 Martin Grant bubble dress, $625 Markus Lupfer dress, $505 Miu Miu cut out shirt, £805Alex Monroe ring, $270 TopShop stud earrings, $20 Necklace, $45

I am experiencing a fast-growing love for simle and elegant jewelry which can work both on the daily basis as well on special occasions. The Alex Monroe collection is spot on this love, and the small accents of diamonds and other gemstones are to die for. Subtle and very elegant without the flashy-tacky feel. With that said, I also like big and glitter as long as the materials and the designs are good.. And with one statement piece {the Topshop Star necklace} and the rest subtle, I think it could work well together.

And I still love the past Miu Miu collection and the top would work great with other things in my wardrobe without being too much last season. I like when pieces work like that and that's probably the tell-tell sign if you buy with your heart or are a fashion-victim with no clear personal style. Don't get me wrong, I like to be on-trend but I also know that with many things I followed the fashion trends past instead of wearing what I really liked or what suited me and my figure. Maybe it is an aspect of getting older. No more city shorts or flared trousers for me! Scorned child fears the fire - or something..

On another note, does anyone know whether the Coca Cola lip balms taste like Coke? If yes, I'm so gonna get them... for my sister!
