In the midi hour

Ah, I think I have found the perfect midi skirt! Midi skirts are one of my favourite items to wear, makes me feel all ladylike and elegant. :) I sometimes wish I was living in the 1940-50s when it was fashion and mandatory for women to wear skirt and dresses with a decent length. :) Not sexy you say? Well I beg to differ, its sexy in a more subtle way ( which I prefer anyway). ;)

Full and twirly, just my cup of tea! :) Ive dressed it down rather casually this time around, but I cant wait to play with it some more, endless ways of styling it I believe. :)

And it has pockets, yay! :) So where can you get this beauty you might ask. Its from H&M actually, I encountered it on the sale online, never seen it in the stores. And did I mention, its perfect to hide any post pregnancy baby bump and similar lumps. ;) Full score in my book! :)

This week Im on vacation or should I rather say staycation. :) Im off work for three weeks as my little girl is starting nusery/kindergarden. Today was her first day and it went rather badly. Lots of tears and she didnt feel at home at all with the other children and staff. :( Hopefully she will come around by the end of my vacation, it takes time to adjust from spending the days at home to the hustle and bustle at the nursery. Its really good for her to get out and spend some time with other children I believe. I didnt attend nursery when I grew up as there werent any and I was terrified of the other kids when I started preschool. In the end my shyness led me to be bullied by the other children, a fate I certainly dont wish for my little girl.

Fall Fashion Challenge - Wine

Second day of the fashion challenge and style colour for today being wine (burgundy). I must say Im head over heels in love with this colour, kind of strange since I have never really cared for it before. Seems like Im an easy victim of fashion, heh *snorts*

Im totally cracking up here as my hubby was passing by while making fun of me. :) I wish he could be around everytime I take my photos. :) Since Im a huge wine/burgundy fan I did it all, snood, cardigan and pants being wine. I even have some wine nailpolish but didnt do my nails in time for this shoot. Im  currently lusting after a dress and a skirt in burgundy, then my wardrobe would be complete. uhm for wine/burgundy that is. ;)

Im trying out a new to me pose, the crossed legs or wee pose if you`d like. :) But seriously whats up with those clawlike hands?? :P

Colour casual

Brrr, winter is coming! Familiar phrase? :) Nothing like fighting the cold with a wooly jumperdress and a cosy snood (tubescarf). My first snood actually, great for wearing with outerjackets as there are no loose ends to get tied up in the zipper or looking like youve got another set of bulcking boobs under your jacket. :P

I seem to be a copycat these days, I first saw this jumperdress on another style blogger and the next day I went out and bought it myself. :) I loooove reading style blogs, not only for inspiration regarding colour and pattern mixing but also to find lovely items for my wardrobe, items I sure would have missed out on otherwise. :)

No problem incorporating colour in a dress downed casual style. :) I hope I will find another wooly jumperdress, they are easy to style and look great! :)

Stars and stripes for you folks. :)

Office babe

Im sporting my new pencil skirt from HM, love at first sight it was. :) I hardly have any pencil skirts in my wardrobe cause I have been afraid of them being too bootylicious to wear at work. I know pencil skirts are actually considered appropriate work wear but at my workplace they are scarse. :) I think its due to my office having a casual dresscode and people tend to think that skirts like these are wayyyy to dressed up. :P

Well its high time someone sets the stakes higher, I stribe to make my work environment more feminine and dolled up. :P I guess Im the "office babe" :P Heheheeee Well I dont exactly fit the bill, me wearing no makeup. ;)

My mustard cute shoes from the side, I love em! :) Im currently lusting after another pair similar to these but in green and purple.

Heh my feet look like logs here, must be the camera angle. :)

Redneck

I love wearing red during autumn, make the rainy days more bearable. :) Luckily I got a few pics inbetween showers. I really dont mind the rain though, love to slouch indoors under a blanket with candles lit and in the company of a good book, my ipad or some telly. :)

Uh oh Im lost for words tonight, Im terrified as Im going to the dentist first thing tomorrow, cant think of anything else. :( I really hate hate hate hate hate to see the dentist as Im so scared shitless, Im on the verge of throwing up the minute I set my foot at the dentists. Oh this is going to be a sleepless night......

Im showing off my neweest shoe love, clearly a pair of burgundy t-bars were missin in my wardrobe. ;) Everything else is old stuff, but I feel thrilled when I come up with new ways to style them, beats the feeling of a new item in fact! :) I must really shop my closet more often!

And a close up as usual. :)

An elephant touch

Yea, seems like an elephant has trashed my blog lately. ;) As you might have noticed I have been fiddling with  scary html and whatnot. Risky business Id say. :P Its a work in progress for a while yet so bear with me. :)

I have for some time now wanted to make my blog to look more izzywizz style instead of using a freebie premade template. Im soooooo passed that.....*lol*  I have decided to join an online html and CSS (dont ask) blog course. Wish me luck!

Speaking of elephants, Im actually wearing an elephant pendant necklace! :) Im a collector of animal pendant necklaces, my favourite animals being elephants and owls. :) Im really fascinated by both, so intelligent and wise animals. Watch out for more elephants and owls stomping/flying by. :)

A close up of the necklace. Such a cute little fellow. :)

And to sum it all up, a pair of workhorse pumps (I hope you are not tired of them). :)

Back in the saddle

Yeehaaa, Im finally feeling it. :) Summer and especially holidays do nothing for my creativity, I tend to get lazy when it comes to outfits. I have not felt quite at home in the last posts but now Im finally back where I belong - colourclashing like a madman/woman. :P

Perhaps Ive just missed playing around with coloured tights. Im well aware of the season but I just wanted to   take a dip and wallow myself in lovely autumnal colours. Im getting tired of bare skin, time to cover up. ;)
I owe everything to a very generous and kind lady living in UK who purchased and shipped this dress to me, Im sooo lucky to have this lovely frock in my wardrobe. :)

A close up, im quite fond of mixing prints. :) How cute are those swallows. :)

I cant get enough of pleated bottoms, I just hope and pray that they stay in, how the heck am I goin to iron them back? :P

I love these shoes, they have lingered in my wardrobe for several years, hardly worn, just waiting for the right moment I guess. ;)

What Im wearing:

Cardigan from HM (new)
Dress from Matalan (new)

Back to work : red and swirly

My first day back at the office after three weeks off, rough day *ugh* :P I stayed up late watching the Olympic closing ceremonies. I totally loved it, 3hours sing a long, very British. :) I even got to see the Spice Girls reunite, yay *LoL* My favourite part being Fatboy Slim and his gigantic jellyfish *dance*

Im sorry for the squinting look, too much suuuuuun. ;) Which I dont mind naturally, seems like summer is paying us a 2 days visit. ;) I should have worn my sunglasses oh well....Im not sure I like how I look wearing sunglasses, I feel stupid. :P

A closeup, I love the cutouts in the top, makes it stand out. :) And Im all about standing out outfitwise *giggles*

Another love of mine, swirly skirts. :) I love how the wind grabs and let go. :P

My new sandals, I have been on the lookout for gladiator sandals and I stumbled upon a pair in Denmark. My toenails are in desperate need of colour, so I headed to the mall today and bought me a brigh red nail polish from Essie, named Fifth Avenue. Im not really into nail polish but its growing on me and I cant wait to do my toes later tonight. ;)

What I wore Wednesday: End of May

Oh, how I miss those summery days in the end of May!! It got unusually hot for that time of year, one day it was 30 C!!! Well it was about time to let my new maxidress roam the office and whatnot. :) This is my first maxi, Im soooo excited cause I have been thinking maxis were not for me. This dress proved me wrong, luckily. ;) Im head over heals in love with the print, thats what first caught my eye, yea I know Im mad about prints, cant help it sorry. :P

I tossed the cardi away for a moment, I even got a little sunburned on my shoulders and upper arms during that hot week.
