Dublin: Rainy but Pretty Awesome!

Sorry I've been an awful blogger lately. I've been to Ireland, and when I got home I got sick and then I went to visit my family for the weekend.

I took a lot of pictures in Ireland, and I've selected some - to sum up my trip:

Retro looking block color shoes from Pennys (Primark. Bought them the very first day - I'm such a sucker for cheap stuff.

River Island dress and necklace from Glitter. Also bough this dress the first day in Dublin. We don't have River Island in Denmark which I think is sad, cause I like the brand and their price range!

Outside a cute shop. I love this quote.

More Pennys. The "keep calm" phrase might be used to the fullest by now, but I though this was kind of funny. especially since I didn't really have that much money but I didn't want to miss out on actually buying something when I was finally travelling. You can't tell from this pic but the bag got socked - we where visiting Kilkenny and unfortunately the rain was pouring.

This t-shirt I've bought before I went on my trip. I think it's really cool even though It's not really my style.

Pug shirt from H&M Divided blue - 69,95 dkk

Stars Blazer from Pennys/Atmosphere - 7 €

Another pair of cheap ass shoes. I have leopard print addiction. Also from Pennys.

Funny shirt from Pennys - only 3 €

This place blow me away. There where 2 for 1 on practically everything but my brain just shot down - couldn't decide what to pick it all looked gorgeous.

Saturday we finally found the street where they'd hidden all of the thrift shops. Thrifting in Dublin isn't that much fun cause there isn't a lot of vintage clothes. They mostly have second hand high street stuff. Bough a cool shirt though I will try to post later. They also had very, very cheap books.

The shirt on the picture is funny if your danish cause it's such a statement piece in Denmark and I have no idea how it ended up in Dublin. "Bevar Christania" means "Safe Christania" which is an area in Copenhagen which existence is much debated.

Going home I had to wear as much clothes as possible to fit all the stuff I've bought into my suitcase.

The White Way

I haven't made an update in ages I know. All sorts of stuff have been going down. I've been on easter holiday with my family and I became an aunt (!). It's been a little crazy. And now that I'm finally home I'm feeling a little under the weather.

Back at my PC I can get my daily fashion fix again, and I've picked a set of clothes all in white inspired by the sunlight that has warmed my apartment today.

Knitted quilted sweatshirt from Topshop 38,00 £

Mock shirt from COS 35 €

My basic wardrobe needs a white leather skirt for spring. This one is from Vila on sale at Asos.com 403,63 DKK

Looong trench coat from Zara 799.00 DKK

Socks with a transparent stripe from Asos.com 36.69 DKK (wouldn't mind the silver shoes also)

Chunky comfy Wren sandal from Monki 45 €

Clutch bag with metal corners from Asos 183,47 DKK

OOTD: Catching the Thrift

I'm on a little easter holiday with my parents in a little town in Judland. Of course I had to visit the local thrift shop.

Bought this retro knit with white, turquoise and gold pattern on grey and a little cute white bag.

Dots: The Everlasting Retro Trend

Dots seems to be another of those trends that never really gets old. It keeps getting comebacks. This spring is no exception.

What I love about dots is the very retro/vintage feel they often have. You can either go all out on this feeling or pair them with more modern items and silhouettes

I've picked some dotted favorites from the high streets.

Dr. Denim high waist jeans from Asos.com 272,71 DKK (btw, Asos has 25 % off for 48 hours atm)

Chloe dress with dots and stripes from boohoo.com 20 £

I love the retro look of this Gunnel bikini Set from Monki 10 € for the trousers and 15 € for the bra

Very feminine sleeveless shirt from H&M - very cheap 79,95 DKK

Skater skirts are everywhere atm, and they are very wearable cause they look awesome with anything from an oversize knit to a feminine top. This dotty one is from Topshop - 34 £

Cut out dots socks from Asos.com 36,36 DKK

Shirt from Zara with dots and stripes - 22,99 £

Pants from hm.com - 129,00 DKK

OOTD: Eighties Embellished Jeans!

I found these embellished jeans at H&M on mid season sale!

Glittery jeans - H&M Divided black - down from 349 dkk to 100 dkk

I can't decide if I want to keep them though, I sort of really like them, but then again I might be a little too old for glimmering pants.

Donna LaDonna (Chloe Bridges) rocked them in "The Carrie Diaries" (pic: screenshot from the series)

Update 20/03

I decided to keep them and whore them yesterday with a new leopard cardigan also from H&M Divided Black (79,95 dkk) and an old pastel top from Monki:

First Visit to & Other Stories

Yesterday & Other Stories finally opened in Copenhagen! I had work which meant I didn't get to go until today.

I had to see what all the fuss was about and I don't think anyone got disappointed! It's a very beautiful shop with so many nice things. Because it's clothes, shoes, accessories and make-up there is a lot to look at! After I actually had to stand in a queue to get in I had to buy something.
