Chip on my shoulder

Hia! Its not like I have chip on my shoulder these days but more like one on my chest and a pack down below. ;) Hehehe. This is to me one of my cutest outfit I have ever come up with, totally adorable. :) and maybe a little childish, but hey thats me. ;) When I bought the skirt I had totally forgotten about the squirrel cardi (too much clothes eh?) and I jumped of joy when I found it in the back of my closet by chance. :)

The skirt is of course from Boden, no surprise there. :) There is even a squirrel dress too which Im lusting after of course. It was just released among the rest of the winter collection this week, lots of droolworthy items Id say. :) Well dont be shocked if I turn up in a squirrly dress sometime in the future, hihihi. ;) No surprise to my colleagues at the office as well, I think they must be sick of me wearing all kinds of creatures. :) My obsession with animal prints is starting to show for real. ;)

I started my sewing class yesterday, yes Im going to learn how to sew clothes for my daughter and myself, preferably dresses and skirts if I manage. :) An aspiring seamstress but boy did I struggle yesterday, certainly Im not blessed in anything crafty. But I had a good time and learned a lot. Now I only have to make time to sit down and befriend my sewing machine, we are not on the best of terms yet. :P The rest of the class got homework but according to our teacher I apparently must be supervised when sewing. *blushes and hangs head down in shame* In other words a sewing disaster! Im wondering how this course is going to work out. ;) Stay tuned for more sewing bloooooopers. :P

Doggiestyle

Uhm yea whats up with the title you might think. ;) Well Im just refering to my newly purchased skirt, look lots of doggies or greyhounds to be precise. ;) As a dedicated dog lover I just about grab anything doggierelated, especially when it comes to clothes. :) My heart belongs to the French Bulldog of course but greyhounds are pretty cool too. ;) Besides my closet is brimming of French Bulldogs lately, they seem to be a favourite print on clothes these days. More of that later,you`ll see. :)

Boy, did I have a blast in Copenhagen!! Luuuuuuuuve that city, so beautiful, friendly and easy to get around. :) and not to mention the White Stuff shop, gosh I dont know how many hours we spent in that shop, hehehehee. The shop staff must have been sick of us in the end, occupying their fitting rooms for hours, giggling and trying on almost every item of clothing in the store. We behaved like children in a candystore, literally. :P Needless to say this skirt is from White Stuff. :) My love for WS has certainly hit another level *sparkles in my eyes* By the way WS is having a midsale now, up to 50 % off. I might have happend to buy me some more goodies. ;)  Ups photobombed by one of our four cats, this one goes by the name of Blackie cause well she is black and all.......:P

Hehehe looking quite smug about myself in my new skirt and oh new shoes as well! :) bought in Copenhagen, the brand is called Softinos, never heard of them before. I found them in a Fly London store, they are so soft its like walking on air. Im very very pleased with them! My sister and I bought the same shoes, hehehe she chose the black ones and I went for the grey. :) We sometimes happen to share the same taste in clothes and shoes but my sis stays clear of the bright colours which I thrive for. :)

If you like to see what we were up to in Copenhagen (the few snaps I managed between running from shop to shop) you might follow me on Instagram. :) My profile is private but I never decline a follower request. :) Have a lovely autumnal week!

Mrs duck

Hello, anybody out there?? Didnt think so. ;) Please accept my sincerest apologies for neglecting my poor blog of late. Ive been very busy with my kiddo starting kindergarten and behold a few weeks later we all came down with the worst cold ever! Im still on the mend but feeling better everyday. So there you have it, the joys of having a kid in kindergarten, Im looking forward dreading whats next. ;) Im back at work and did manage to get dressed as well. ;) hehehee

So todays featured animal is the duck! :) Must keep up my wardrobezoo roll you know. ;) The skirt is from White Stuff, one of my favourite British brands. :) If you havent visited their store in Edinburgh you definitely should, the changing rooms are so much fun and like nothing you have seen before. ;)

 And speaking of White Stuff stores, Im actually planning on visiting one next week as Im off to Copenhagen, Denmark!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Im soooo excited you wouldnt believe it *jumping up and down* My sister and I are leaving husbands and kids at home and are treating ourselves a long weekend of shopping and relaxation (sleep yay!). Neither of us have been to Copenhagen before, its gonna be so much fun exploring the city and not to forget the shops. Shopping spree anyone? ;) It will be the first time Im away from my little one for a longer period of time, Im wondering how thats gonna feel. At least she will be safe and sound with her daddy taking good care of her. :)

Monkeybusiness

I am up to no good these days, being covered in monkeys. :P Another animal for my wardrobezoo, check! I do love this cheeky dress, its a lot of fun! I received several compliments by my workmates, I thought they would find this dress too childish and not suitable for the office but it was quite the opposite. :)

 It seems like Im leaning more and more towards childish prints on my dresses, an evolving style but not maturing as expected when the big 4-0 is lurking in the distance. ;) I think I have kept my inner child for sure. :)

Allright, one cant wear a monkeydress and dont act silly. So here is my first attempt at impersonating a monkey. Not quite there yet, hehehee

Monkeyface!! Success!! *laugh*

Dress from One Off (new - Danish brand)

Oh deer me!

Hia ladies! :) Another animal enters my wardrobezoo, meet the cute bambi! :) I have pined after a bambi outfit for so long and I nearly fainted when I came upon this dress. (yup, clothes do have that affect on me). It meets all my bambi dreams and more. ;)

Uhm yea, these must be the worst photos ever. Dont even attempt to take your photos during the evening sun, epic fail! ;) My hair seems to be on fire, at least half of it. :) That said, I do loooove the Norwegian summer nights, in June it doesnt get proper dark here, not even during the night and the sun doesnt set until 10-11pm. Its really hard to hit the sack when its so light outside. :)

Adorable bambi caressed by the evening sun. ;) I love the fun colour mix of red, pink, orange and turqouise. :) I felt really at home in this colourmejoyful outfit. :)

Oh did I tell you, Ive got some new wheels! :) A new to me black beauty, Skoda Roomster to be specific. ;) Hehehe a family car with lots of room, fits the bill for my new life as a mum. :)

Moby dick

Hia! Ive come across a new word, wardrobezoo. ;) I love it and find it quite fitting for my wardrobe. ;) My newest additions to the zoo is this whale top and skirt. :) I mad about any kind of animal print on clothes, Im a collector most likely, my closet is starting to look like the arc of Noah. ;)

Im a huge animal lover and of course it rubs off on what Im wearing. One of the mums from my maternity leave group said to me, you must really LOVE birds. The way she said it made me think she would not be caught dead in any birdie print. ;) *grin*

The shape of this skirt is new to me and I quite like it. Its tulip shaped I think and quite short compared to the skirts Id usually wear. But of course being covered in cute whales, I just had to buy it no matter what. :) I didnt have any solid navy tights so I just put on a spotty one. A little bit of pattern colliding going on, gotta love a little crazyness right? ;) (Did you notice Im in a jolly good mood today? ;) )

Horsey porsey

Howdy gals! :) I have found a new way to express my endless love of horses, in a dress of course! :)
I have been horseback riding since childhood and as a teenager I owned a horse. Those were the days!!
I really miss riding and caring for a horse but its time consuming and costs heaps of money, both of which I cant find the time/afford at the moment.

The horse featured on the dress is actually a model of the Swedish Dalecarlian horse/ Dale horse. Its a traditional carved, painted wooden horse statuette originating in Swedish province Dalarna. In the old days the Dala horse was mostly used as a toy for children; in modern times it has become a symbol of Dalarna, as well as Sweden in general. However the designer of this dress is Danish and based in Copenhagen. ;)

The world's largest Dalecarlian horse, made of concrete and located in Avesta Municipality, Sweden.

I chose to focus on the red and pink, I love how those two colours work together, a bit of mismatch and utterly fabulous at the same time. :)

Outfit details: Dress from One Off (Danish designer- new to me and whom makes the most fabulous, quirky dresses.
