the Fine Line Between Thrifting and Collecting

I've gone to a lot of flea markets looking for a specific china my mother-in-law collects. It's ridiculously hard to find so when you actually find some of it you feel like you've won the lottery or something - cause the odds are so slim. 

For some reason I've transferred this to thrift shopping. I have way too much hanging in my closet that I don't use that much but that hold some sort of collecting value. Something that are so unique and hard to find that I just have to had it. I guess it is the same thing that makes me stand in line for Marant in 2 hours. If it's limited it's just a lot more fun. 

Today I found this shirt at the thrift shop where I volunteer.I had to take it home with me because I already had a matching jacket! What are the odds of finding two items in the same print, from the same clothing line (same label: City Look) in thrift shops? 

It's not the first time I've done this though. I've also found these two pieces of old H&M exclusif items in two different stores in different ends of the country and at very different times.

Inspo for Christmas Parties

I found this really cheap clutch at H&M and came up with a dream outfit to fit. It's really simple, but I love it. Would be perfect for a Christmas party. 

Clutch from H&M 179,00 DKK

Monki Natalie dress - 280 DKK

Gina Tricot - 199,00 DKK

Asos letter box slipper shoes - 207,04

Lip Colour from & Other Stories - 125 DKK

Marant Mania in Copenhagen

Not surprisingly at all I ended up going with some friends for Isabel Marant pour H&M this morning. I was waiting in line at 7.05 am. The first people in the queue had been waiting since 5 am. Insane. Luckily we made it in with the first group of 30.

I've been to the Marni, AdR and Margiela before, but this was just crazy. 

Of course I ended up buying the one thing I had specifically told my self I couldn't afford, didn't need and was too blogger exposed (to the point where it got a little nauseating). 

4 hours of Marant Mania summed up in 4 steps:

Tuesday's Crush: Klara Dress

I'm gonna have to buy this when it hits the store. I love this print!

They've also made a shirt and a bra with the same print :)

Countdown: 8 Days to H&M pour Isabel Marant

I'm sure you've all seen the pictures and heard all about the clothes all ready. At first I was like :'nah, this is not my style (too bohemian). I'm not sure what all the fuss is about'. This is also why I haven't blogged about it. It's grown on me though. It wouldn't be a surprise if I end up standing in line next Thursday. 

I've picked an outfit of favorites. I'll properly end up only buying the vest cause that is the only thing I can afford. The shoes are from the kids section, but I kind of like them. 

Vest 19,99 £

Pants 59,99 £

Bomber 79,99 £

Shoes 29,99 £

Some Beautiful Stories

I'm getting more and more psyched about "& Other Stories". I loved their first collection and they haven't failed me since. I normally don't shop there a lot cause it is still a little expensive compared to where I normally shop, but I love the styles.

They started sale this week and I wanted to share some of my finds with you. 

 I bought this draw string dress and wore it last night out with my colleagues. I really like the color and the simplicity. It's very easy to dress up and down. 275 DKK. 

I had trouble deciding between this one and the grey/white one. I know this color properly won't last all year round, but on the other hand the light one wouldn't stay that way for long (with my luck I would mess it up in a week). 138 DKK

I also got these awesome leather shoes. I couldn't find them online so I guess they are sold out for now. I really like how they look and needed a pair of simple black shoes. Wore these last night too which is why they look a little used already. 288 DKK.

& Other Stories also has 70 % on well people makeup in store. I'm especially really happy with the nudist colorbalm I bought. It has something in it which makes your lips seem bigger. 

OOTD: New in from Monki

Got a new matching set from Monkis midseason sale.
I'm sorry the pics are pretty bad. I always forget to take some, and then it ends up a spur of the moment thing.

I've styled the monochrome b/w print with an oversize color popping blazer.

Pamela skirt from Monki - 100 DKK

Shirt (I can't find the name of the style) from Monki - 125 DKK

Example of a really bad leg pose right there. I only included it because I love the look on Enzos face.

New in: Faking it

Monki was giving out 25 % vouchers the other day, and I went for this Safira jacket. I'm not sure it's really my style, but it's very comfortable and warm.

Remember the stores are starting midseason sale (again). H&M started last Thursday  and some of the other highstreet stores are starting this week. If you sign up for the Monki.com newsletter you'll get a VIP code to enter the sale early. 

Blue and Metallic Fall Fashion Favorites

We are moving in to the new apartment these days, and if I've learned anything it's that I have way too much clothes and way too many shoes, bags etc. This doesn't stop me from going online and dream about all the new fall fashion though. I've picked some fall essentials (according to me that is) and put together a dream outfit to share with you.

Blouse from Monki with flower print 250 DKK. 

It isn't a secret, that I am in love with flower print. This has some nice fall colors and I think the world would be a happier place if everyone dressed in flower print during fall/winter.

& Other Stories skirt - 750 DKK

Metallic seems to never really go out of style. I love this skirt from Stories all though it is a little pricey  I love how you can dress it up to the max by adding fx a shirt in the same material (Stories  has one ofc) and go all in on silver. At the same time you can dress it down with a chunky knit or a simple white tee. 

Navy lace trim ankle socks from Topshop - 3,50 £

I never spend a lot of money on socks and tights cause I will always end up running them one way or the other. These are really girly, but can make a great contrast if you pair them with sneakers or something more rough.

Cut out leather boots from H&M 499,00 DKK.

If these are comfy I could wear them all through the season. I absolutely love that they have some details, but are still fairly simplistic and versatile. 

Asos pretty stone necklace pack 136,66 DKK

I would say that you can wear whichever jewelry you like with this outfit. Statement or not. I've chosen this blue necklace from Asos, but I could also go for something louder. I think it is a good idea to keep it silver though - in reference to the skirt.

New Look Ariel leopard sleek envelope clutch bag from Asos.com  72,79 DKK

To make it less mathcy-mathcy. I love this little bag and it's really cheap. And animal print is another never dying fall trend.

Reese Jacket from Monki 500 DKK

There is so many jackets/coats this year that I love (especially Zara just keeps them coming) but for this outfit I choose a pretty simple one from Monki in, what is properly, my favorite color. 

OOTD: New Dress and something Green

New dress on sale from Asos. Totally loving it. The belt is vintage, and the blazer is an oldy from H&M Trend.

Inspo: Turtelicious

I've fallen madly in love with the Elli Shoe from Monki, and I have to admit it is mostly because of the color. I love how wearable tortoise pattern is and how versatile it is. It's granny style in a good way. The color is screaming fall and I hope the new season will bring more of it!

Ellie Shoes from Monki - 300 DKK

Statement earrings from H&M 79,95 DKK

ASOS Metal Top Cat Eye Sunglasses 74,07 DKK

Pumps H&M 249,00 DKK

OOTD from yesterday: Eighties feel

Unicorn print, what is up with that?

I've noticed a lot of unicorn print lately and it seems like the 'my little pony' internet hype has caught on to the fashion world. Maybe it's the new Kenzo tiger? Properly not, but they are kind of cool in an ugly-cute kind of way. 

Unicorn jumper from Asos.com 324,05 DKK

(I love how this model is just cracking up)

Unicorn dress, which I am too old for, from Topshop 42,00 £

Pegasus necklace from H&M divided, not online yet, but in stores 79,95 DKK (Photo: facebook.com/tojnord)

Unicorn sweatshirt from Asos.com 231,46 DKK. Luckily you don't have to wear the spacey makeup too.

Unicorn shirt from Boohoo.com 12 £. I would wear this with either another statement color or some neutrals to tone down the pink.

Brat and Suzie unicorn top from Zalando.com 289,00 DKK Much easier to style
