New In - ASOS lace pencil skirt

Hi guys,

I have been looking for the perfect pencil skirt for a while now and yesterday I found this beautiful lace skirt at ASOS Curve. Needless to say: it is on its way to me at this very moment.

I cannot wait to wear it with black thights, black heels a nude top and a black leather jacket for that pretty but edgy ballerina meets rock chick look.

New in - Pussy Bow shirt(s)

Hi guys,

I always have a hard time finding tops and blouses (that is also the reason why I wear so many dresses). I think most tops (that I apparently come across) are just boring, so I often end up with a simple vest top teamed with a nice cardigan or a blazer.

This season I was very keen to get my hands in a pretty "silk" shirt with a pussy bow neckline and yesterday I spotted the perfect specimen in Gina Tricot! Needless to say that I bought almost one in each colour ;-) I always do that when I find something I really like.

Besides the pink one I bought a bordeaux, olive green and an off white/nude as well. You can get them here (if you are located in Denmark) in all the beautiful A/W 11 colours like rusty orange and jewel tones.

Gina Tricot's sizes only run up to an EU44/UK16/US14, but I often find that their sizes run big and therefore they can fit larger sizes as well.

I will wear these shirts with jeans to mix pretty and edgy and with skirts for a classic ladylike look.

New In - Nude Cardigan

I picked up a cute little cardigan in H&M the other day. It has a nice nude/pinkish colour and is a soft knit with a sheer fabric edge. I love cardigans and little jackets, not because I hate my arms that much, but bare shoulders are not an option for work and besides, I am almost always freezing...

Here is how I would style the cardigan:

 

Nude cardigan - H&M // White T-shirt - H&M BiB // Skirt DYI a la T by Alexander Wang // 

Necklace - Accessorize // Iphone pouch - Glitter (local Accessories shop)

I know I have been sporting the T by Alexander Wang inspired skirts a lot lately, but I just really love them at the moment. The jersey fabric is so comfortable (Yes, style over comfort, but what if you can have the best of both worlds?!? ;-)) and the drapey effect is so cool and stylish. 

I have made 3 in different colours and I am sure that I will wear them all fall and winter as well with coloured/black tights. If you would like to make one for yourself, it is actually really easy and you can find a guide here. A little tip: use a single jersey, not a viscose jersey as that is too thin stretchy to get the right drape effect.
