Ahh, finally... The weekend is upon us once again. Here in Denmark we are experiencing a lovely Indian Summer with temperatures around 22 degrees celcius.

For school I have been reading Wuthering Heights, and I must say that I am not particularly taken in by it. I'm still mushing over it a bit - but I am not in love. It saddens me a little though. I feel like I should be in love with this exuberant tale of passionate love being such a romantic as I am. I guess, I like the small sequences and the overall story rather than actually reading it word by word. It is such a strange feeling, and I don't really recall ever felt like that before towards a book.

I'm not sure whether it is a case of too high hopes, or just me being a cold fish at the moment.

Perhaps if I had read it at another time, more happy, I would feel otherwise. Nevertheless, I do see why it is such a masterpiece, and especially considering Emily Brontë herself and the surcomstanses in which this work was produced.

No, I'm too undecided on the matter. We'll see on Monday when my class will discuss the novel.

Ava Gardner

I adore Ava Gardner. I find her one of the most incredible actresses to have graced the silver screen as well as my style icon solely based upon her role in Mogambo. Love love loove that film. So here's some eye candy (I think you can say that as a woman about another woman, no?)

 I have always found her to have the perfect pair of lips and eye brows. And off course her cheekbones don't do her features injustice..

 Don't you just love the drapings in the background of all of these Hollywood studio portraits? And they really knew how to use light and shadow in those days.

 From The Barefoot Contessa, I believe.

 Another studio portrait. Note the gorgeous shadow her corner eyelids make on her face, really enhance her cheekbones and the sultry look in her eyes.

 I just thought WOAW! when I saw this.. Gorgeous!

I mean, what can one do having eyes like that looking at you? Love the blouse as well..

And to look like this when you have reached the admirable years is perhaps not the worst thing in life.. Amazing.

 I just love this song so there's a bit of Ava live for you guys too... Enjoy!

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...

Chanel Splurge!

Sorry guys but you will have to miss the Weekly Faves this week as I can't get my set to appear over at Polyvore. I'll see if it has worked out tomorrow and then upload it. In stead, I will show you my Chanel splurge! I have NEVER bought that much makeup at one time, and certainly not in Chanel ,however, there were some amazing offers and so I couldn't help myself! Many nail polish colours that aren't in stock anymore or almost impossible to find, and some lovely lipsticks and.. Well, maybe I should just show you...

 

I can't even say what I'm most happy about - the gorgeous shimmering powder? The incredible Nouvelle Vague and Mistral? The devine lipstick shades? The suttle sparkly gloss? No - impossible to say. I love them all!

*All images mine*

A small reminder...

Rococo Fashion

As you may know, Rococo is one of my favourite time eras in fashion, art, and history. Such friviliousness (is that even a word?!), sex, allure, and charm centered in one century. I do know that experts limit the term rococo to just a section of the 18th century, but I will apply it rather broadly here given that I am not conducting a research engine but mere interests and inspirations.

All of these faboulous beauties are found via Pinterest, and they are all collected in my board Rococo, which is increasingly becoming more and more popular. I get new followers almost every day - it is crazy! And wonderful that so many share my interest in vintage fashion and especially rococo. Please join, and take a look. Here's the link to my rococo-board. Enjoy!



Weekly Favourites 37

Once again, the weekend is upon us and I'm flat after a rather hectic week. My entrepreneurship class is really exciting but there's so much to do - and we are not even starting our own business yet! Last time, we had our results back on our JTI (a Scandinavian equivilent on the MBTI) and that was actually quite fun. If anyone want to know, I am INFP which stands for Introvert - Intuition - Feeling - Perceiving. It was actually kinda scarry how well the desciption matched me! So much for thinking I'm special!

Anyways, due to enourmous amounts of novels to be read and thus less free time, posts will probably come and go on no regular order whatsoever. I hope that's ok, but I did do my Weekly Faves this week..

My favourite of the favourite is the Topshop typewriter brooch! So adorable, and the Topshop Dalmatian booties too..

Are you guys sticking to leopard, or do you also do adventures in python, tiger, or dalmatian? I usually thought of myself as a leopard-only girl but this dalmatian-look quite grows on me. Who knows, maybe I'm soon gonna sport black and white hair Cruella-style! (not that likely though given that I'm trying to outgrow the old red hair dye) But perhaps I'll start with creating a dalmation manicure. More accessible, I think.
