OOTD 050513 - The coral leather jacket

Hej med jer,

(English below)

Her er et outfit fra i fredags, hvor jeg drak kaffe med Rikke. Og som de bloggere vi jo er, er det da en fantastisk anledning til at scoute en god location og tage nogle outfit billeder? ;-)

Og se da lige hvor godt min nye læderjakke passer til baggrunden! Forårsfarver alle steder. Jakken har jeg talt om i dette indlæg og da Ellos så en dag sendte mig en kode der gav 50% på en valgfri vare, ja, så måtte jeg slå til. Den har været undervejs i en måneds tid og nu ser den ud til at være godt i gang med at blive udsolgt. Men den er virkelig også fin og sådan en lækker blød kvalitet! Den findes også i sort, hvis man er til noget mere klassisk. Husk dog på at Ellos bruger de franske størrelser, som er et nummer mindre end de danske, så denne går altså op til en DK46.

Here is an outfit from Friday, where I had coffee with Rikke. And as the bloggers we are, what better occasion to scout a good location and take some outfit pictures? ;-)

And look how great my new leather jacket goes with the background! Spring colours all around. The jacket I mentioned in this post and when Ellos one day sent me a 50% off one item code, I had to buy it. It was on its way for a month or so and now it looks like it is selling out fast. But it is really nice and such a great soft quality. It also comes in black, if you are looking for something a little more classic.

Dette er virkelig et klassisk, nemt outfit. Jeans, hvid skjorte og en læderjakke. Det kan varieres i det uendelige, med farver, accessories og sko. Det kan gøres klassisk og med et twist som her, med den farvede læderjakke til at peppe det op. Det kunne også have været en blazer i en frisk farve, hvis man ikke lige vil investere i en pangfarvet læderjakke.

This outfit is really classic and easy. Jeans, white shirt and a leather jacket. It can be styled a million different ways, with colours, accessories and shoes. It can be very classic and like here with a twist in form of the coloured leather jacket. It could also have been a blazer in a cool colour, if you do not want to invest in a coloured leather jacket.

Welcome to the Moulin Rouge!

Hej med jer,

(English summary below)

Sidste fredag var jeg til julefrokost med arbejdet. Som altid var det en virkelig flot planlagt fest. Temaet var i år: Moulin Rouge - French and fabulous. Jeg elsker en anledning til at stadse mig ud, så jeg satte mig for at finde det perfekte Moulin Rouge outfit (som dog var passende til en julefrokost med kollegaer og chefer ;-)) Jeg vidste at jeg ikke ville have "kostume" jeg ville have "mode".

Jeg ledte længe efter den perfekte kjole, men fandt den ikke før min veninde Stine foreslog at jeg kunne låne hendes pin-up kjole (som hun har på i dette indlæg). Den var bare PERFEKT til temaet. Tak Stine <3

En "top hat" med slør, røde læber og høje sko blev tilsat og så var jeg klar til fest!

Last Friday I was at the annual office Christmas Party. As always it was a really beautiful event and this years theme was: Moulin Rouge - French and fabulous. I love an occasion to dress up and decided to find the perfect Moulin Rouge outfit (which was also appropriate for a work function with colleagues and bosses ;-)). I know I did not want "costume", I wanted "fashion".  

I looked hard to find the perfect dress and did not find it before my friend Stine offered my to borrow her pin-up dress (which she is wearing in this post).  It was SO perfect for the theme! Thanks Stine <3

I added a veiled top hat, red lips and high heels and I was ready to party!

 This poster was put up in the elevators in the office, inviting us to the Moulin Rouge

The "French and fabulous" menu. Really good food! (I haven't applied a filter, the light was red in the dinning room. Very Moulin Rouge)

 Dress - HR London (borrowed from Stine) // Top hat - Accessorize // Bangle - H&M // Wedges - Head over heels @ Dorothy Perkins

Jeg følte mig fantastisk tilpas i kjolen, selvom det er liiiidt mere kavalergang end jeg normalt viser frem, især på jobbet ;-) Kjolen strammer ind de helt rigtige steder pga. snørrene i siden og shapewear var ikke engang nødvendig! Jeg fik utallige komplimenter, om det var kavalergangen eller ej, det skal jeg ikke kunne sige ;-)

I felt very good in this dress, even though it is a liiiiiittle more cleavage than I normally show, especially at work ;-) The dress cinches you in in all the right places, because of the corset like feature in the front and shapewear was not even necessary! I got so many compliments that night, if that was the cleavage or not, I cannot say ;-)
