Boden by Me

I attended a confirmation dinner party for one of my cousins a Sunday in May. And I wore this, covered in Boden from head to toe (nearly). ;) I love the fact that Boden always have some vintage inspired clothes in their collections. :) This is the vintage bow dress and I think it lives up to its name. :)

Lately I have become more and more infatuated by vintage/retro inspired clothes, admiring the pin up girls who lives out my secret dream. One of my guilty pleasures is to read vintage style blogs/insta blogs, soooooo many pretty outfits Im nearly having a heart attack. ;) Sadly Im not able to wear that kind of clothes in my everyday life, its not compatible with having a toddler and I would look like I was going to a costume party everyday. ;) Oh well only in my dreams then..

Im wearing this lovely, bright yellow trenchcoat from Boden, its from the spring collection last year but this is the first time Im wearing it. :) I think it goes rather well with my dress. :)
Bleurgh, have you heard summer is off? Im having a hard time dressing these days, all I want to wear is bright, colourful, summery outfits but the weather certainly isnt keen on that idea. :( Its been raining and so cold we might as well  been living on Iceland for that matter. We havent even touched the 20 Celsius yet and thats a disgrace at this time of year. Im so fed up with the freakish weather and feel like my inspiration and mojo has turned the blind eye and left me in jeans and boring top for weeks on end.......Please Please Summer will you turn up sooon?
And if that wasnt enough I have a clothing dilemma that has left me in a bit of a puddle. Im going to Brussel later this month on a work trip, attending a couple of meetings in the EU district. Im scared shitless to say the least (iiiikkk - first time in Brussel and first time attending an EU meeting, all on my own). And what to wear??? I dont think my fondness of colours and novel patterns will go down well with the EU crowd. *giggles* Formal clothes is so not me and I dont own any such garment either. Luckily I still have some time left to figure this one out....

What Im wearing:

Fifties cardigan from Boden (SS 2015)
Vintage bow dress from Boden (SS 2015)
Trenchcoat from Boden (SS 2014)
Shoes from Pataugas (old)

White Stuff - How I wore

Ah better late than never, here is how I styled my recent aquired ellie garments from White Stuff. I paired the ellie shirt with a red blazer, red ankle boots and jeans treggings. Can you tell I love red? :)

I wore this to a work conference hence the "corporate" look. ;) However I think I interpreted the corporate a bit different than the other participants, I was not hard to miss in a crowd of black and grey. ;) hehehe

I dont feel awkward standing out in a crowd even though Im quite the shy person, my mission in life is to fight the blacks and greys and hopefully to be an inspiration to others to wear f* colour as Trinnny would put it. :))

Here I am in my hotel room at the conference taking a last look in the mirror before I head out for the first meeting. :)

Please excuse the poor lit mobile picture. I must confess the elephant skirt was a huge success! I received so many lovely compliments. :) No suprise to me, its such a knock out skirt. :)

What I wore:

Blazer from H&M (old)
Ellie shirt from White Stuff (recent)
Jeans treggings from Dr. Denim (seriously they are the best ever!)
Ankle boots from El Naturalista (old)

White Stuff - reviews and favourites from the Lost Island collection

Aloha! As I told you in my last post I went a bit nuts in the White Stuff shop in Copenhagen. Go figure! ;)  This is how it looks from the outside, pic taken from my previous trip to Copenhagen back in September 2014.
I was literally drooling all over when I noticed my current favourite collection, The Lost Island was in stock. :) I immediately started rummaging through the clothing racks, I was on a mission you see and then rushed downstairs to changing rooms with my hands full. ;) And here it goes:

Little Ellie shirt - OMG, how cuuuuuuuute is this shirt!!! Even the name makes me smile, Im actually thinking of naming my next child Elli if Im having a girl. (No wait a minute, no baby on the way yet) Little elephants in a variety of colours on a white shirt, so so so so so adorable! Please excuse my manic looking eyes, seems like Im having an out of myself experience, hahhaa. :) The shirt went of course home with me.

A closer look of those lovely baby ellies. :)

Tutuilia cardi -  Its official Ive been elephantized, another ellie item for ya, the gorgeous tutuilia cardi. :) Another elephant bites the dust in my suitcase and guess what Ive got room for lots more. ;)

Ellie the elephant skirt - Well I only missed a elephant skirt didnt I?? :) Not my most glamorous moment, socks anyone? But you get the picture, I bet you cant take your eyes of that gorgeous skirt anyway. :P

Wild floral reversible skirt - Another great elephant skirt but sadly this didnt go home with me. The fit was good, a bit lighter and wider than the other ellie skirt. That sums up the ellie hauling for now, if you fancy some more elephant goodies you might take a look at these:

Elephant tunic

Round about ellie shirt

Ditsy elephant scarf

Swans bell & whistle skirt - I did try on another skirt Ive had my eyes on for a while, unfortunately I had blowed my budget on those ellies otherwise I would have bought this skirt in a heartbeat. :) Hopefully I will get hold of it later during a sale. :)

Well I guess thats nuff ellies for one night. ;)  Stay tune for my next post where I will show you how I styled my newly aquired elephant beauties. :) Have a lovely week folks and dont forget Game of Thrones tonight, Im off to watch myself. :)
