OOTD - Blazer and Accessories!!

Hello there! Today I'm doing something different and something that it completely out of my comfort zone. I am joining the creative closet linkup with an outfit post! I have been following these linkups from the moment they started, and I always thought it was such a clever idea! I am also one of those people who has a closet full of stuff and never anything to wear. So picking a theme and going inside my own wardrobe to style an outfit around it would make a good exercise for me.

 I always told myself I would join one of these linkups one day. And than I saw this prompt pop up. I am completely blazer obsessed, so I knew it was now or never. If I didn't have the guts to join this one, I knew I would chicken out forever. So here I am, with a picture I took myself before going out for a lunch date and with a tantrum throwing toddler infront of me on the floor. My life is so glamorous, Haha! But let's get back on track here. I went for the most basic outfit ever (jeans, a white tank top and heels) and dressed it up with a blazer and a few of my favorite acccesories. So let's have a look! 

The blazer is the Only Sanne Blazer in the color Dusty Pink I believe. I got it 3 years ago when I was pregnant with Charlotte. I love the color, but the material is really thick and stiff, so that it's not always the most comfortable piece to wear. For work it's absolutely fine, but for crawling over the floor with a toddler there are definitely other pieces I prefer!

Can we just acknowledge the fact that this picture looks complely blog worthy? Yes? Good! :) These these are definitely my favorite accessories to date! The watch is the Guess Mini Phantom in silver/rosé and the bracelet is the Mulberry Bow bracelet in pink. I wear these two items every single day. The bag is my favorite bag for the summer and when I'm not out with my daughter (so that pretty much means I take it with me to work during the summer months). During the winter I prefer a bag that stands rain and snow a little bit more than this one. The leather stains pretty easily. My daughter drooled on it in the first week I got it, and the stain is still visible. But that just brings character to the bag right? :) It's the Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 in Damier Azur by the way.

The scarf is the Mulberry Tamara scarf in the color oak. I purchased it last december and it's my absolute favorite scarf at the moment. It just instantly upgrades any look. Everything just looks a little more fancy when you pair it with a Mulberry scarf.  It does crinkle up a bit though, so I 'm still figuring out what to do with that. I am not supposed to iron it, but if the crinkles keep bothering it, I might just give the good 'ol iron a try anyway. 

And than the rest of the outfit. The jeans are the Esprit EDC Slim Low Rise Jeans in the color cinder blue. I really love these jeans, I actually own them in a couple of different colors. They just fit my body type really well and they feel very comfortable on. The shoes I got on sale about two years ago. They were ridiculously cheap for good quality all leather shoes. I think they were the last pair and I ended up paying 20 bucks for them. They are by the brand Linea Zeta and they are very comfortable. I could walk for miles in these. And the last item (not shown in picture) is a plain white tanktop by H&M.

So, are you just as blazer obsessed as I am?

The look for less - my favorite makeup dupes!

I love makeup just as much as the next girl, but when you get older your priorities do seem to shift a little. And when you're dealing with mortgage payments, day care bills and health insurance, spending a lot of money on a new eye shadow just doesn't always seem logical. But that doesn't mean I don't like to doll up anymore. It just means I got a little smarter about it and figured out how to get the same look for less. So let me share my favorite makeup dupes with you!

W7 In The Nude Palette - Perfect dupe for Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

I love this Palette... and it shows! I got this for my birthday 1,5 years ago and I've been using it for my every day look ever since. I'm really into nudes and rosé and I have been for a while now. This palette is really all I need to make a great look for me. It has highlighters, shimmers and darker colors. The colors are also well pigmented and they blend quite easily. I really think it looks alot like the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. So much that I actually passed on the opportunity to pick that palette up when I was in London last December. This palette is so good and they are so much alike that I simply didn't feel like I needed it anymore. You can get this palette through amazon.com if you're interested! Oh, and you can actually get it for 10 bucks. Great deal, huh?

H&M Lipstick/Liploss in Nougat Rose - Perfect dupe for Mac Lipglass in Fashion Punch

I knew H&M had a makeup line, but that didn't interest me one bit to be honest. But when I ended up at a fashion party and these babies were lying around for just 1 buck, I just couldn't resist. It looked very pretty with it's rosé gold packaging. So even if I would just end up with a pretty looking lipstick in my purse, I was just going to give it a try. It's a lipstick/ lipgloss combination and it has a dark nude matte lipstick and a bit of a peachy lipgloss. Because I'm not really a matte kinda gall, I decided to wear the lipstick with the lipgloss on top of it. When I looked in the mirror, I realised I had seen this look before. It looked alot like the Mac lipglass Fashion Punch! A very good dupe! It's not my daily favorite, but I do carry it around in my purse and use it from time to time. And that's way more than I expected out of this one. So check out H&M for their makeup line, they might suprise you!

So, do you have any dupe secrets to share? I would love to hear them!

OOTD - Trenchcoats!

Spring is here, and that means all kind of exciting things, The sun is coming out, we get to plan all sorts of fun outdoor activities and we get to break out those cute wardrobe pieces that have been stuffed away in our closets for the last couple of month. I'm particulary excited about wearing my trenchcoat again. It's such an awsome staple piece! It goes with everything and it suitable for every occasion!

So today I went for a turquoise trenchcoat by the brand Spoom and paired it with dark blue skinnies from Vila, a silky beige top from Broadway, suede beige wedges from Tamaris, earrings from miniinthebox.com and my speedy 30 damier azur by Louis Vuitton. This will probably be my go to outfit this spring! Here are some close ups from this outfit:

For Charlotte we went for a beige trenchcoat by H&M which is simply adorable with the little bow on it! We paired it with a printed tee and brown leggings, also from H&M. Her little booties are by the brand Ugg and the headband is from some online store, I can't remember which one, sorry! And here are some close ups from her outfit:

So these are the outfits we'll probably end up wearing alot this spring! Do you have your spring wardrobe sorted yet?

Kisses!

OOTD - Mommy and Baby!

If you are anything like me, you like things to match a little. And eventhough I love to match outfits, I really can't stand those overdone mommy and baby outfits. I like things to be subtle. So that often leads to slightly color-coordinated outfits for me and Charlotte. I think It's cute and it just looks better in photographs. So this is what we're wearing today!

My Outfit

I'm wearing my favorite denim chino's by Esprit. I actually ended up buying a second pair since I love it so much. I can now literally wear it every single day! But I won't... I don't want people to think I'm wearing the same pair of pants all the time and start question my personal hygiene. Definitely don't want that! So I make sure i throw in a different style of pants every once in a while!

 The vest is by Vila and I think it's absolutely gorgeous! It has rhinestones on the shoulders and a sheer backpanel. Underneath that I'm wearing a simple plain brown cami by H&M.

The charm bracelet is by Pandora. I love this bracelet because all the charms on it represent a certain special event in my life. You can see the babystoller, which obviously stands for having my little girl. There are also charms on it for buying my house, graduating, my new job and so on!

The ankle boots are by an Italian brand called Cellini and they are brown with subtle gold sparks on it. It has leafs on the sides which I absolutely love for fall. It looks so seasonal! 

The bag is my Burberry drawstring Bromley bag which I've had forever. The quality is so amazing that it still looks brand new eventhough I've been using it for years! I'm not a big spender, but investing in an item like this is just so worth it.


Charlotte's outfit

Charlotte's outfit is almost completely from H&M, except for the pacifier and the bow. The pink pacifier is by a swedisch brand called Bibi and they really have the best quality pacifiers. They come in all these cute colors and patterns as well! The tights and shoes are in stores right now. The vest and shorts are from last year, but they still carry simulair styles. I saw these shorts in blue just a few days ago. When I found out I was having a girl, I might have gone a bit overboard with the whole shopping thing. I bought alot of sizes in advance!

The vest has cute floral elbow patches and the little bottons are shaped as flowers. So cute! And I love the colors!

And her bow...I really love bows! I got this one at a webshop. I can't remember which one, but there are alot of shops that sell this particular bow. It has a big pink flower with a white band.

Shoes! I love stocking up on little shoes for Charlotte. I don't think It will be much longer before she'll take her first real steps. She's already gliding along the coffee table like a little pro! 

So there you have it, our outfits of the day! I I'll try to do the next one with us actually in them!

Kisses!
