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

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.
