Lookbook: Christmas Kiss

Knitted jumper: H&M / Pants: H&M / Purse: Guess / Boots: Nelly.com / Beanie: Trend

C is for candy canes in the Christmas stocking when I wear this cute outfit. I must admit I'm feeling a tad bit like Christmas whenever I wear this jumper but then again how can you not with this fluffy fella, red pants and topped off with a fluffy beanie to match? I am seriously a Christmas person, I love anything and everything that has to do with this jolly Holiday so why not make a little tribute to the joyful month that is slowly nearing?

Jumping onto another subject that still got something to do with Christmas, how many of you have already bought your Christmas gifts?

As for me I already started buying a few in October which I now have to wrap, so until next time - Ingat!

Lookbook: Dancing Queen

Hat: H&M / Dress: Gina Tricot / Boots: Bianco

"You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life. 

See that girl, watch that scene, digging the Dancing Queen"

Imagine going to the disco with the girls and boogieng to the famous song Dancing Queen by Abba in this cute 70's inspired (some might say blouse but I say) dress. As I mentioned on an earlier lookbook, the 70's are having a comeback this year and thank God for that! Now we can wear the fun and funky fashion trends from the 70's but only modernized. This dress has the 70's flare to it with the shape and especially because of the sleeves but got modernized with the lace details and the criss cross strings on the chest. It's super fun and flirty. I didn't want to wear too many accessories since that might take the focus of this cool ass dress, so I decided to keep it simple by wearing my black boots and my dark purple hat.

Anyways watch this Dancing Queen dazzle of so until next time - Ingat!

Lookbook: Ever Green

Cara top in Olive green: Gina Tricot / Skirt: Gina Tricot / Boots: Bianco / Jewelry: Guess

O is for the olive green colour that is slowly but surely taking over my heart when it comes to favorite Fall colours. And if you pay close attention then you'll see that it has bombarded the shops as well with its teammate maroon.

I have to be honest here and say that my sense of clothing style and choice in clothing pieces has changed a lot from when I was younger. Before I would pick the boldest colour or print simply because I loved the material or the design, and now as I'm slowly and sadly maturing (and the number 25 is around the corner), I have face the fact that I have become more aware and picky when it comes to shopping. Now I don't grab after the most craziest print or design but more after key pieces every gal should have in her wardrobe, though where I simply make sure it has a little detail that stands out. Like this top from Gina Tricot; it is a key piece that you can wear with pretty much anything and all year round but what made me fall in love with it besides its material, is the fact that it is a crop top. As for the skirt, it's a knitted bodycon skirt with an elastic waist. To make it a bit more Fall-ish I paired the outfit with my black boots of course and the icing on the top are my gold jewelry. There is something about Olive green and gold that looks so well together, wouldn't you agree?

Anyways that was all this time around. I hope you're doing fine and until next time - Ingat!

Lookbook: Autumn Falls

Faux fur vest: Ichi / Dress: H&M / Over the knee socks: H&M / Ancle boots: Nelly.com / Necklace: Guess / Hat: H&M 

Maroon is slowly becoming my favorite colour of mine for the Fall, so here is a classic of a bodycon dress (another love of mine) in knit with of course my favorite colour. I will admit I am bit of a girly girl with a little hint of naughtiness so even though the weather is only getting colder, I still try to dress my way. This time I decided pairing my dress with some over-knee socks and some ancle boots. There is something so sexy about over-knee pieces, wouldn't you agree? To keep the coldness away, I would slap on my faux fur vest from Ichi. To finish my look off I decided to wear my trusty old hat from H&M and matched the entire outfit with gold wear. You can never go wrong with gold jewelry and this time I chose a statement piece of a necklace from Guess. 

Anyways that was all this time around and until next time - Ingat!

Lookbook: Shine Bright

Hat: H&M / T-shirt: H&M / Skirt: Gina Tricot / Wedges: Primark / Jewelry: Guess

As I mentioned in another blogpost, I'm a sucker for crop t-shirts like these, so when I saw this goodie at my local H&M with a high neckline and then woven with metalic threads and then sports number, I thought it was such a cool way to bring something girly and mixed it with sports. With tee likes this one, there are many ways on how you can style it but since it is shiny, I decided to style it with a cool mini skirt like this one with a sheer detail from Gina Tricot. To top it all off I decided to match it with again my favorite shoes (I'm sure you've guessed that it will be in my favorites post again) and to match my lip colour, I decided to wear my nice wollen hat from H&M.

Question: How would you style the tee?

Anyways that was all this time around and until next time - Ingat!

Lookbook: Cph Fashion Week

 

Top: Gina Tricot / Skirt: Bestseller / Purse: Guess / Shoes: Primark / Accessories: Guess

Who said stripes only go well with red? Or that you can't mix gold and silver together? In this case I went against those unwritten rules and matched this stripy pencil skirt with a green crop top and accessorized it with gold and silver jewelry. Since I was invited to Copenhagen Fashion Week I wanted to wear something that was super comfortable but also chic at the same time. In situations like these and you know you'll be surrounded by many people and there will be cameras everywhere, the most crucial thing you can do if you're worried about what other people would think of your choice of clothing is simply to go with your gut. The most attractive thing a gal can wear is confidence and that will only shine from you IF you wear something that you are comfortable in. 

As for people thinking or even believing that it's only "skinny" people who can wear or is even allowed to wear crop tops, I would say "Screw them!". I believe the sexiest thing on a woman is her curves, so why should you be ashamed by your curves and tummy for that matter? So ladies, if you want to wear crop tops or anything really, then just do it. As long it looks good on you then por que no? Am I right?

Anyways that was all this time around and until next time - Inagt!

Lookbook: Cheetah

T-shirt: H&M / Leggings: H&M / Wedges: Primark: Jewelry: Bought in Australia

Prints, prints, prints! I am a sucker for printed t-shirts and especially when they are a bit cropped and got cheetah prints all over it. I think I got that fixation from my mother since she is all about cheetah prints HAHA. Anyways when I'm in a hurry but still want to look put together, I always go after a cool tee with some comfy leggings. As for accessories I went for gold of course. Some might find gold with leopard prints tacky but I say go for it! I try to put my entire outfit together by taking a colour and matching it with my shoes, so notice the white letters on the tee and my white wedges. It just gives the look a better balance. 

Anyways I hope you're all well and until next time - Ingat!

Lookbook: Konnichiwa

Headband: H&M / T-shirt: H&M / Leggings: H&M / Wedges: Primark / Accessories: Guess

I've been seeing a lot of tees like this one where there are slits on the side of the t-shirt on the internet, so when I saw this baby at my local H&M store, I was like OH MY GOD! I fell

 in love with it as soon as I saw it hanging on the rack. Are you one of those who sees a garment and then get a mental picture of an entire outfit? Well I do so when I saw it, I instantly got a picture in my mind on how I would style it. So that was pretty much a sign that I should get it. So I decided to pair my tee with some black leggings of course and my favorite white wedges. To top it all off, I went and chose to accessorize the outfit with some black and silver jewelry, just to give it a bit more edgier look. 

Question: How would you style it?

Anyways that was all this time around so until next time - Ingat!

Lookbook: Brining 60's Back

Dress: Gina Tricot / Hairbow: H&M / Wedges: Primark / Accessories: Guess & gifts

"Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony"

You can clearly tell that the 60's, 70's and even some of the 90's styles are back in town, especially the 60's with this baby doll dress with a golden zipper in the back. I find it so refreshing since my style is inspired by the 60's and 90's, so I'm happy that those decades are having a come-back in the fashion industry. With this cute dress I decided to go cute-sy and matched it with this black hairtie I purchased some time ago at H&M and as for shoes, I couldn't help but to pick my favorite white wedges from Primark. As for the colours, black and white always go well together, so never be scared to mix those two colours together. It's as what miss Coco Chanel said in the quote above, black and white is beautiful and are in perfect harmony together or apart. 

What's your favorite fashion decade? Anyways I hope you enjoyed my little lookbook and until next time - Ingat!

Lookbook: Gucci me Green

Faux leather jacket: New Yorker / Crop top: Gina Tricot / High waist jeans: Vallygirl / Wedges: Primark 

Sunnies: Gucci / Earrings & bangle: Random shops / Necklace: Pilgrim

"You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it"

I firmly believe in this saying, so if you want a specific job or something, you need to dress the part cause if you dress sloppy, then nobody in that field will take you seriously. I just finished design school where I majored in Fashion design, so if I want to work as a designer, then of course I have to dress the part. Now I know don't always have much time or energy to always look glam, but you can always make sure that what you do decide to put looks good, even if it is a casual outfit like this one. 

Now I love crop tops but I will admit I don't have a flat tummy, so to me if you're a gal just like me with curves and a tummy tummy, then just make sure to wear a high-waisted jeans or skirt or anything high-waisted when you want to wear crop tops. In this case I just wanted to wear something casual but nice, so I matched my high-waisted jeans with my current favorite crop top from Gina Trico (which I got on sale btw HAHA). Since the Summer here hasn't been the best, I decided to throw on my favorite and only leather jacket that I got ages ago from New Yorker. To finish it all of (since I was thinking of going casual) I chose to wear my white wedges/sandals that I got from Primark.  

Anyways that was all this time around, I hope you enjoyed my little lookbook and until next time - Ingat!

July Favorites ♡

July has been a very hectic month for me, so here are the things that I have been grabbing towards the entire month. I've added a technical gadget to my favorites so from now on, I'll add anything and everything that I have been loving.

Beauty Favorites: 

1. The first things is of course the Maybelline Baby Lips SPF 30, which was also in my first giveaway. It's been out for a very long time now but none the less a favorite of mine. The product is super moisturizing and contains UVA/UVB which protects your lips from the sun. 

2.The second thing I have been loving the month of July is the hand gel called Farmstand Apple from Bath and BodyWorks. I'm a huge fan of them even though we don't have the store here in Dk, but this little product has been my life saver. It is super handy when you're on the go, so I would bring it with me everywhere I went. I'm not a fan of using local toilets but when you're out and about (especially travelling in another country), I would use this sucker on the toilet seats. There are so many germs on toilets seats, and this baby contains 68% alcohol and Tihitian Palm Milk, so it leaves your hands and in my case toilet seats germ-free, plus it doesn't hurt that is smells amazing! It smells like sweet apples so of course it's a no wonder that they called it Farmstand Apple.

3. The last thing beauty-wise that I loved is the Body Shop's Vitamin C daily moisturizer with SPF. I can not stress enough how important it is to protect yourself from the sun, and since I'm always on the go, I'm thankful that there is a normal moisturizer with SPF, so I don't have to worry about protecting my face when I'm out. If you haven't tried this moisturizer, then I suggest you go to your local Body Shop and give this a go. I am sure your future self will thank you for it. 

Fashion Favorites:  
4. Again since I am all about protecting oneself from the sun, of course a fashion favorite would be my Gucci sunnies. These babies have been my faithful companion all through the Summer, so of course I had to include it in my favorites. I got these a couple of years ago at our local store, so I'm not sure if this model is still available?

5. I'm a sucker for anything that is white, especially when it comes to stuff you wear. I don't know? White just makes everything look fresh and clean, so when I saw these cute wedges when I was in Berlin (I bought them like the last day of July but still) I knew I had to get them! I got them at Primark which is located at Alexanderplatss in Berlin. If you didn't know, Primark is a huge store that sells awesome and trendy clothes and accessories for cheap prices. I got these cuties for only 12 Euro which is around 90 kr - a pretty sweet deal. Not only are they super cute but they are actually also very comfy to walk in. Because of that I ended up buying the same pair just in another colour LOL. 

Technical Favorites:

6. I only have one tech gadget that I am soooo thankful for that I got, which is this portable charger. I've been wanting one for months, especially since the day my phone died on the train and long story short, I had an electronic train card = a fine. So since then I have been on the hunt for a cute charger and with my luck, I found this one the day before I had to go to Berlin. It's from Hooc (never heard of the brand before) but I figured I might give this one a go. It comes in all different type of colours from black to pink, yellow, purple and blue but since they ran out of pink, I thought I might as well get the yellow one (then I know my sister or mom won't snatch it from me HAHA. The charger is already charged when you buy it and all you have to do is push the little button and it will start charging. It has 4 little lights that will blink and show you how much there is left and it comes with a wire of course and this little pouch. The great thing about this one is that you can use it to charge any type of cell phones, cameras and even laptop.  

If you would like to see what I bought while I was in Berlin, then comment down below and I'll do a lookbook post about it. Anyways these were all my July favorites, I hope you enjoyed my little post and until next time - Ingat!

Loobook: Cheerleader

Dress: H&M / Purse: Guess / Knee Socks: H&M / Shoes: Deichmann

I never was a sports person when I was in High School. Sports simply didn't say anything to me, but if I was given this outfit back then maybe I would have become one XP It's a cute dress that you can style with a leather jacker, a shirt and cardigan. There are literally so many options on how you could style the dress and make it look like a different outfit that I simply just had to have it. 

- What do you think? Does it also remind you of Cheerleaders?

Anyways that was all this time around. May you have a lovely weekend and I shall see you soon. Until then - Ingat!
