Foxy lady

Hia ladies! Long time no see! My computer let me down big time as one of the hard drives died.*Gaaaah* And needless to say it took some time to get my PC back on track and I lost all data stored on the hard drive. Booo! Well suits me right for not having a backup. ;) Ive learned my lesson now and have set up a regular backup session once a week. I wont let this happen one more time! Luckily none of my pics were on that particular hard drive but I lost some valuable data.

And yes there is a new fox in town or mutiple I should say. ;) I was after this dress when in Copenhagen this autumn but the shop was closed so I had it shipped to me instead. :) I love the fox print of course but the dress itself came up short, I prefer below knee or just above knee length. So I felt a little out of sorts when wearing it but my colleagues paid me so many compliments and jokes I might add. :) Somehow this dress made them laugh, so I was the talk of the office that day. :P
If you havent noticed already my cardi sticks to the term woodland animals as well, fox, squirrel and rabbit. So cute! :)

Here is one shot without the cardi to show you the sleeves. Im too much of a freezing stick to wear it cardiless.

Close up with cardi.

Yay! I have made my first toddler girl dress. :) Im really suprised it turned out so well. :) The sewing class has ended for now but Ive enrolled on a new class starting in January. Must keep up this sewing bee hobby as its so much fun! :)

Im currently sewing another dress using the same pattern as my first dress.  But this time around Ive chosen a non elastic cotton material, velour. Well thats it for now, see you soonish! :)

Nancy Drew

Hello ladies! Enjoying summer are you? :) Im enjoying summer and a Boden sale. ;) I was finally able to wear this dress from Boden a few days ago, its been lurking in my wardrobe for months as I preordered it from the early SS collection.
I found it appropriate to show it to you as Boden is having their end of season sale these days. So if any of you are in two minds about this dress, go for it! You wont regret it, promise! :)  Last time I checked the sale pages at the UK site there were plenty of dresses left, seems like Boden has an endless stock of this beauty despite it being hyped quite a lot. 50 % off you cant beat that! :)

Boden has named this dress Nancy which makes me think of Nancy Drew. ;) I was a huge fan of the Nancy Drew books when I was a litlle girl, I think I have read them all. :) The stories are all set in the US somewhere in the 1940s-50s which are quite on par with this dress I think. :) I imagine Nancy would have  looked stunning in this dress. :) Such a beautiful vintage print!

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind. Uhm I dont know about that but it sure was windy this day, look how the skirt suddenly turned poofy. :) Love it! :) Im wearing my usual Boden size, an UK8L and it fits beautifully. :) Actually Im planning on wearing this dress to my mothers 60th birthday coming up this Saturday. :) I think she will love it too. :)

Backdrop, the view from my porch. As you might see Im enjoying life in the countryside. :) If you want to have another look at miss Nancy do pop by my dear blog friend Dina who is a very dedicated Boden fan. :) She writes the most thorough reviews as well, love them! :)
Oh and I received the most amazing maxi dress from Boden today, the Maya Maxi. Coming up in a later post so stay tuned! :)

What does the fox say? :)

Howdy folks! :) Im back in a foxy edition this time. :) I believe youve all heard the superhit "What does the fox say" by the Norwegian comedy group named Ylvis. :) I find the song hilarious and quite catching as well so what better way to join the fan base by wearing a foxy outfit. :) And my daughter and I are matching, how cute is that. ;)

I couldnt believe my eyes when I spotted this dress online, I had to have it ASAP. :) My baby girl and I attended a Christmas lunch with my colleagues from work wearing these outfits and we got a lot of attention, hehe. :) and everybody started singing "ring ding ding dong hattey hattey ho".We had lots of fun! :)

A close up of the fabulous fox print! :)

And of course never a post without my little sunshine. :) Seems like she enjoys wearing a foxy dress. :)

She is 5 months old now, time flies! :)

Aaaw, Im melting, she is cute as a button this one. ;)

Baby Klara's Christening

Last Sunday we celebrated baby Klara's Christening. :) This photo is taken inside our local chapel by the baptismal font. Very proud parents alongside a smiling priest. :) It so happens that baby Klara gave him one of her beaming smiles, of course he couldnt help but to smile back at her. ;) Unfortunately we forgot to take any pics of Klara in her Christening gown (dont ask, what we were thinking of!! Im so embarrassed but we were in a hurry to get back home for the party, lamest excuse I know). Anyway we will take some pics of her later on, we still have the gown in our posession. :)

We arranged the party at our house since we only had invited our closest family members. Here is how I set the table, theme colours being purple, red and hot pink and some owls here and there. :) Im quite pleased with the end result. :) I didnt do the flower arrangements myself though. :P

I also forgot to take any pics of the many delicious cakes, I really forgot a lot that day! *blushes*. Well here is a pic of the cakeleftovers, I made the red velvet cake and the cupcakes myself. :)

The christening cake, I love the owls, its sooo darn cuuuute! :) Clearly not made by me, I ordered this cake from a professional bakery. :)

The outfit of the day. :) Of course I had to wear a dress in the theme colours purple, red and pink. :)

 love the poofiness in the skirt, there is a petticoat attached, I just wanted to twirl around all day long, like a little girl. ;)

Actually this is my second dress of this kind, I bought a red one last year and have purchased another red one for this Christmas.

What Im wearing:

Dress from Ellos (recent)
Cardigan from H&M
Pumps from Geox

Oh and of course a cutie pic of baby Klara now 3,5 months old. :)

Christening in red

Yesterday we attended the christening for my sister inlaw`s baby girl. I chose to sport my newest addition from Boden, this fancy red dress. :) Instant love as always, Boden hardly lets me down. <3 <3

My hubby took these pics, he always makes me laugh, hence my goofy grin. ;)
Im currently planning for my Klara's christening which will take place in the beginning of November. Phew, my head is spinning when thinking of decorations, guess I have a lot of work cut out for me. Still a month to go luckily. :)

What Im wearing:

Ava Dress from Boden (recent)

And of course I had to get a new dress for baby Klara. :) Come to think of it, its actually the first time she is wearing a dress. I find dresses kind of impractical before the baby can walk, so for everdaywear Im waiting for her to get older but then she will  be wearing dresses quite often I believe. :)

But of course she will be wearing dresses for special events/happenings, christening being one of them.

Come on, I dare you. ;)

Fall Fashion Challenge - Grey

Final day of this years fall fashion challenge - what better way than to finish off in grey. ;)  Ive had a blast putting together outfits for this challenge. I hope there will be more to come in the future. :)

I havent worn this grey dress before although I purchased it on sale early this year. I knew it would be perfect come autumn. Im glad I have some garments in solid colours, in fact I need more of them as I have way too much print and pattern all over the place. :) But a solid garment is only interesting to me if it has some kind of quirky detail or shape. These frills fit the bill perfectly.

I just wanna give my thanks to Megan and Keely for taking their time to host such an fabulous challenge, you gals rock! :)

What Im wearing:

Dress from Fever London
Cami from HM
Tights from Sneaky Fox
Boots from El Naturalista

Fall Fashion Challenge - Teal

Who doesnt fancy a fashion challenge? Im so excited to be participating in my second fashion challenge hosted by Megan from MeganMaeDaily and Keely from Casualchickiki.com. Theme for this challenge is colors of the season and today Monday its TEALday. :)

I only have one teal garment in my wardrobe unfortunately so I had to work around this cardigan. I decided to pair it with this dress which print includes teal paradise birds among others. Hopefully this will suffice *waves at Megan and Keely* :)

Im sorry for the lack of photos, I had to rush out inbetween showers and I only got a few decent pics before it started raining again. Its been raining non stop for the past two days, its a hardknock life for a style blogger. ;) Hehehe

What Im wearing:

Cardigan from Mango
Dress from River Island
Tights from Sneaky Fox (new)
Shoes from Bianco

Now Im off to see what the other participants have come up with for teal day, you might as well check them out too. ;)

Missoni!

Its official, Ive been Missonized. ;) This dress is from Missonis collaboration with the Swedish clothing brand, Lindex. I have always been a fan of the fabulous zig zag pattern but could only dream of buying a statement piece from Missoni. But here I am looking a little smug in my budget but nevertheless genuine Missoni dress. :)

But boy was it hard to get hold of this dress, I first tried to buy it online but the site crashed. But to my luck my local shop opened early in the morning the next day, so I started the day by queing outside a shop at 7am. ;) Pretty desperate right? Lol. But it was totally worth it, I got my lusted after dress and a cardigan. One of the few as the collection was completely sold out in minutes. I have never done this before, a fun experience indeed. :)

A rear view, my favourite part of my body, my boooooty. :P Hehehe so much for me being shy. LoL. :) Well at least its the most curvascious part of my skinny frame, looks quite odd really. ;) Someone just glued a balloon on my backside. ;)

A member of the Norwegian royal family wore the same dress at an exhibition just two days before the collection launched.  She caused quite a stir , so me and the princess, ha! ;)

A close up of the fantastic pattern, whats not love. <3 A subdued look from what I normally wear but I love it, a classic, staplement dress.

What Im wearing:

Dress from Missoni by Lindex
Top from HM

As always on a Monday Im joining the Visible Monday party at Not Dead Yet Style! Hit it ladies!

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)
Tights from Lindex (new)
Shoes from Bianco (old)
