Hi guys! Yesterday I handed in a paper and now just one left for Wednesday before a small break until my oral presentation late June.. Oh, and on Saturday my youngest sister is getting married! So excited about that... But oh dear - W.H.A.T. T.O. W.E.A.R?????????????
It is a low key wedding, and the reception is in their own garden, which means I cannot wear heels.. A small bummer, but I have bought a pair of wedges to secure me of a little height and lean legs. However, I would wish I could afford those Rupert Sanderson-wedges with houndstooth and pink accents. So cool! And matches the Tibi dress perfectly.. Or perhaps the Roksanda Ilincic-dress and paired with the Charlotte Olympia-heels, or with a practical note the Ancient Greek Sandals {love the wings!!!}

Oh, and jewelry en masse! Such pretty rings and earrings. My magpie-soul is happy happy right now...

Well, this will be over and out from me right now, and see you - hopefully- soon, or at least post-Wednesday!

Winter Wedding from BHLDN

This wedding gown from BHLDN is truly amazing. If I was to be married this winter this would be my dress..

I love the etheral feel and the slight scatter of glitter. I always cheer when an Edwardian vibe is in vogue.

Though I will use my grand parents' wedding day for my own wedding {June 25th} I prefer the look and style of the weddings set during the Fall and Winter. They always remind me of elves dancing in the woods of the Snow Queen {references to two of my favourite HC Andersen fairy tales} and the feel is always more intimate. Close in to keep the cold away, sort of..

The styling of these gowns are equally amazing, as with basically all BHLDN productions. I adore the blueish tones and the falling snow.

Add deep red lips and nails, and a bouquet of anemones and baby's breath and I would be set.

For hair, I would choose a gently tucked up-do, not too prim  {possible like a 'Gibson Tuck'} and with either a gilded halo or a white fox hat Elizabeth Taylor-style.

The shoes would be either glass slippers or rococo brocade heels. The perfect mix of Marie Antoinette and The Snow Queen.

Weekly Favourites week 17

Well, here at last, my weekly favourites.. And of course, the Wedding (I think you know which one ;)) has a little impact on this week's selection of dresses. So many gorgeous hats and dresses. I especially loved Tara Palmer-something's blue dress but not so keen on her hat though, but I really adored the Spanish-influenced dress and turban with red flowers. Gorgeous!

As for the wedding dress, it was ok. It suited her perfectly and goes in line with her personal style (from what I recall) and had connotations (too heavy, maybe?) to Grace Kelly. However, she's not the worst to look to for fashion ideas, so all in all, very nice. Oh, I did love that she was allowed to have loose hair and a rather short veil.

But enough of the wedding, here's my personal faves from this week..

Dresses Week 17, 2011 by Maudline featuring a yellow flower ring

Seperates & Accessories Week 17, 2011 by Maudline featuring a fendi tote 

I absolutely adore the silver Balmain pants and the revival of the Bamboo bag from Gucci - another Grace Kelly reference! And I discovered the webshop Pixie-market a couple of weeks ago and its amazing.. A lot of quirky dresses and stuff you don't see everywhere else. The two dresses on the grey background and the cream shirt with small black hearts can be purchased there..

Anyways, have a lovely weekend in the sun.. Its positively Summer here in Aarhus, I have been wearing no stockings the past fortnight and I'm always chilly!! I almost believe to see a slight difference between the parts of me that was covered and those that weren't.. That's a record for me!

So, I'm on the sunscrean lotion already.. Not a bad start of the year, I think!

Wedding Nails

Just a quick note to say that this week's faves will wait untill tomorrow.. I had a bunch of stuff to do today besides the Royal wedding but I really wanted to see the guests' attire and Rowan "AWESOME" Williams, Arch-bishop of Canterbury! He is by far the coolest guy and makes me smile every time I think of him.. I mean, voice and hair, anyone!?!

 Anyways, a very old and thick soft pink polish with a lot of white shimmer and a sheer with silver stars. Neither very good, had to apply tons of the star polish to get a decent amount on each nail. My nails now looks fake! But from a distance, it looks spectacular! (they weren't expensive though, so price and value go together nicely here)

The last pictures are just some close ups of some of my favourite cocktail rings. I don't really use rings on a daily basis but I like to spice things up when I'm out - so lots of glitter here!

Art Deco-inspired Weddings Gowns

Through Stumbleupon, I just found these beautiful wedding gowns by Yolan Chris at Wedding Inspirasi. I like to take a look at wedding websites; they offer a ton of beautiful and inspirational images to kick start your next party (even though it doesn't have to be a wedding) or drawings. Sometimes I wonder why I don't just take the plunge and start to design wedding dresses because I have done that all my life anyway. 

 Anyways, here's one who has. The dresses by Yolan Chris are simply stunning in their quite simplistic silhuette but the beading and the details are exquisite when you take a closer look. If I'm ever to marry, I would love to wear something in the lines of these.

Oh, and I ADORE the hats and veils... and the readhead!! My personal favourites among these are no. 2 and 4.
