If I HAD To Spend 1500 DKK Today....






















...I would take further advantage of Nelly.com's free shipping (already bought the MJ-style cardigan I showed you yesterday + a black trenchcoat) I would have to buy this outfit! Think the dress for Bepe is absolutely gorgeous, love dresses with dropped waists, and the colors and the ribbon details from the shoulder... ah:) Would style it like this for now, with black tights of course, and for summer with tanned legs, beige sandals and matching clutch!

Cool Detail And Projects In The Making

...just came across this picture and thought the sleeve-details is a fun way to dress up an outfit! I think they're pretty easy to make yourself, I'd probably use different leather ribbons and lose the flower to make it a little more raw, but it works great this way with the Chanel inspired jacket and also I really like the shorts!...my next project will be to try to make some black feather shoulder pads, but after that I think I actually might try these... would doubtlessly be easiest to make in origami paper, but with the danish weather (rain and snow!) that would probably make them way too fragile, so I guess I'll have to think of something else that can keep the shape and is easy to work with...

How To Rock A Maxi Dress

Nicole Richie, Mischa Barton, Ashley Olsen wears them. The maxi dresses. For everyday. They make them look casual, and now it's our turn! I have long been looking for just the right winter maxi, one with long sleeves, preferably black (bold choice of dress + safe colour = makes u feel confident and comfortable!). Anyway, I found this very pretty version at frenchconnection.com, which is currently on sale!! Love the shoulder detail, and love, love, love the fact that it can so easily be dressed up/down. For a great every day look I'd wear it with ballerinas, a big scarf, a cool men's watch, a few bangles, a couple of simple hoop earrings and of course my big favourite bag. For a dinner date on the other hand I'd dress it up with stilettos, an oversize ring, a long thin necklace and some long earrings + a cute clutch. See, endless possibilities with just one dress!

Leather Tan Ankle Boots & How to Walk 'Em!

I found a pair of really cool ankle boots at asos.com ($110 / DKK 600), put them at the top of my wish list because they really are a must in my spring/summer wardrobe with bare legs, cute skirts, denim shorts and lots of coloured and printed tops + chunky jewelry! But, at least here in Denmark, it's still very much winter, so if you're already the lucky owner of a similar pair of boots, here is a little inspiration on how to style them for the ongoing season.










Match boots with ripped leggins (H&M $15 /DKK 79.95), long tee (H&M $15 / DKK 79,95) an edgy pedal knit (Topshop $65 / DKK 350) and add an oversize tan fringe bag, a fake fur collar (H&M $9 /DKK 50), lots of big bangles, ear rings and a couple of huge finger rings and you've got a great, yet very affordable look!
The boots would also look stunning with thick stockings, a short drop-waist dress (Asos $60 /DKK 300), and an oversize blazer in the style of beautiful Rachel Bilson... Or a pair of skinny jeans, a white tee and a long military cardigan (Asos $75/DKK400) for a warmer, more relaxed look. Remember to tuck in your tee so the your big buckle matching tan belt is visible, put on a pair of thin silver creole ear rings, a long, thin silver necklace with a turqouise stone, a matching turquiose ring and put your hair up in a messy bun. Go, go, go;)

Winter Wonder Wedge!!

So, I know this trend has been pretty dominant throughout the fall/winter season so far, but let's face it; wedges ARE just super COMFORTABLE while still being COOL, EDGY, WEDGY;) Anyway, most blogs and magazines show crazy-expensive versions of these perfect winter wonders, so I thought you'd might like a little walk-through in some of the more affordable models!
The grey wedge sandal with sporty straps is from bianco and costs approximately $80 /DKK 450. Use with thick black stockings, a pair of shorts - either low cut washed denim or high waist tweeds, and match with a cool shirt and an edgy blazer!
The long cognac coloured boots are perfect for snowy days with lots of walking (read shopping;) They are from Bianco as well and can be yours for just about a hundred dollars! I'd pair them with a pair of black leather leggins, a long fitted tee, a chunky scarf in gorgeous colours and your favourite cardigan... Oversize bag in matching colour and a hot something to go are of course the ultimate accessories. Think Olsen-twins!
My personal favourite is the black wedge shoe boots! Love them, want them, think they're perfect for the rest of the winter season and extremely functional because they go with EVERYTHING! Really! Ripped skinny jeans, oversize T-shirt and chunky jewelry for an edgy look, stockings, mini skirt, and a thin, tucked in blouse if you're going for an elegant, sexy look, and a fun floral print dress with a bad ass biker leather jacket if you wanna go punk rock chic;) The possibilities are limitless and the price is only 120 dollars! (tjeck out bianco.com)
The last model I wanted to show you is from Asos.com. It's a little pricy, 144 dollars, but I think the whole folded-over-zipped-in-the-back is really cool, and also I really like the colour and the texture of the material, which makes them look all used and dirty, but in the right way - the way you'll actually pay to have them look! (nothing worse than shoes that LOOK brand new! To HAVE brand new shoes is a whole other story though;)
