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 ;-)

OOTD - 50'ies Cocktail Party

Hej med jer,

(English below)

I fredags var der cocktail party hjemme hos mig. Vi havde bestemt at der skulle være et tema; 50'erne. Jeg besluttede mig til at gå efter det søde, pæne husmoder look med en blomstret sommerkjole med indbygget tylskørt.

On Friday, I had a cocktail party at my house. We had decided that it was going to bee themed; the 50'ies. I decided to go for a pretty housewife look with a floral dress with a build in tulle under skirt. 

 Meadow dress - Monsoon (last year, but you can most likely find it on ebay) // Coral cardigan - Red Herring // Coral tights - Ebay // Green shoes - Marta Johnsson // Silver clutch - Monsoon // Pearl bracelets - H&M // Pearl necklace - Pilgrim

 Jeg valgte at snyde lidt og smide lidt moderne colourblocking ind ;-) Et rigtigt 50'er outfit ville nok have haft hudfarvede nylonstrømper på, men sådan nogle har jeg det meget svært med og jeg synes det var lige koldt nok til bare ben. Jeg synes at de koralfarvede tights virker rigtigt godt med de grønne sko.

I probably cheated a bit by sneaking a little modern colour blocking into the outfit ;-) A real 50'ies outfit would probably have included skincoloured nylon pantyhose, but I really don't like wearing those and I thought it was a little to cold to go bare legged. And I really think the coral thights look great with the green shoes.

Det var sådan en sjov aften, med masser af retro pindemadder, cupcakes (tak Rikke!), bobler, fine drinks og søde mennesker.

It was such a great night with lots of retro fingerfoods, cupcakes (thanks Rikke!), bubbles, pretty drinks and good people. 

 Mmm bubbles ;-)
