Outfit of the day # 2

It's time for another outfit-flash. I've spent the day together with my parents, lil'bro, lil'sis + boyfriend and my very own Mr. Boyfriend. It was my Daddy's 47th birthday (Happy birthday Dad!) so we went there to celebrate him with cards, gifts and great food! This was my outfit:

Purple silk tunic/dress
(the colour is most true in the picture in the lower right corner), French Connection UK
Black slim jeans, Only
Black studded belt, asos.com
Gold bracelet, a gift from lil'sis (bought in Spain)
Gold/purple earrings (not shown), Pilgrim

Hate it? Love it? Tell me what you think!

Sparkle for New Years

I've desided to go a bit more crazy with my newyears outfit this year than I normally do. I want a lot of sparkle this time so I can't get enough of sequins! If I were a celeb or just had more than enough money thenI would love, love, LOVE to wear the same dress as american country singer Taylor Swift. The to-die-for dress is from Kaufman Franco and Taylor wore it this month at the Country Music Awards.

Insted I'm going to say goodbye to 2008 and "Hello '09!" in this sequin dress from the english high street brand Primark. I found it on ebay (UK) for a bargain-price of 190 DKK (incl delivery). It doesn't get any cheaper than that! And it fits beautifully.
What do you think? Have you found your newyears-outfit yet?

Matthew Williamson for H&M

Finally! I've been guessing on who would be the next big designer who will design for H&M and it has just been revealed that it's Matthew Williamson. I'm really looking forward to that. The last collection H&M made with Comme des Garçons was a disaster if you ask me! It was ugly clothes and way too expensive. Matthew Williamson is much more my kind of designer. You've probably already seen a lot of his dresses on celebrities on the red carpet. His designs are girly, light, colourful (he especially has a "thing" for pink) and he loves prints too.

A small preview from the Matthew Williamson for H&M collection

The line will be in selected H&M stores from April 23 2009. I'm crossing my fingers and saying a silent prayer that Odense will be chosen this time. We have been overlooked the last two times. We haven't had any of the lines since Viktor & Rolf designed for H&M and with now 3 H&Ms in the city it should be possible that at least one of them got the line.
Matthew W. is also going to design some styles for the H&M summer collection. These pieces will be avaible in store from mid-may and these are being sold in EVERY H&M store... yay!! Wonder how many bitches I have to fight to get my hands on that line? The only worry I have is the prices. The Comme des Garcons collection was insanely expensive (considering it to be a collection for a high street brand like H&M) and I'm worried that this one might be too.


Here's what Matthew Williamsons own line normally looks like - seen on the runway and on the red carpet. I predict that we're going to see some of the same bright coloured and printed fabrics. I can't wait.

A sore throat and a beating heart

I'm spending the day in bed with a really, really sore throat. I'm feeling very sick. And it sucks... and I'm really bored. Tim was sick last week and I bet it has caught up with me now. I'm really feeling like shit...

... and really great on the other hand. I've felt so much in love these days (not that I don't feel that all the time it's just more intense right now) and I'm loving it. I don't know why - I just think that he's so freaking wonderfull.


XOXO Jeanett

Outfit of the day # 1

I promissed that I would flash some of my outfits once in a while and since I haven't done that yet I thought it was time. So here's what I was wearing last night at my christmasparty:

Dress in silk that changes colour from grey at the top to almost black in the bottom, from Gestuz
Studded belt from asos.com
Black tights from H&M
Black patent heels from asos.com
"Gold" bracelet, a gift from my sister - bought in Spain

Black hairpice, bought at trendsales.dk
60s earrings, bought at trendsales.dk
Dark purple nail polish colour "Bad temper" from H&M

More stuff for me!!

Today I finally got my latest delivery from asos.com and then I also bought the cutest cup-set with Audrey Hepburn pictures all over it. How cute is that? Here's my review of the things:

Barry M nail polish. Colour "Purple Grape", 27 DKK

Really gorgeous colour. I knew the brand already and I love their quick-drying and very lasting nail polishes. I know I will use this colour a lot for all the holiday parties coming up. And for the price of 27 DKK they're a bargain.

ASOS Bow Front Satin Band Top, 108 DKK

I bought this top with the intention of useing it as a everyday-top with a cardigan and a pair of jeans. And for that purpuse it's ok. The fit isn't great - it's waaaay shorter than on the model in the picture and then it's pretty wide. But it's ok and I don't wanna bother sending it back when it didn't cost me more than 108 DKK. The bow is really cute though.

ASOS Pyramid Stud Waist Belt, 135 DKK

I've been eyeing this belt ever since I first saw it on asos. It's so gorgeous and I can think of a million ways to use it. It's in the style of the one Sarah Jessica Parker wore in the Sex and the City movie. The size it's a bit small so I'm glad I went with the m/l size. And I think the belt is even more gorgeous in real life than in the pictures.

Audrey Hepburn cup-set from Søsterne Grene, 49,90 DKK

How cute is this? A cup-set with spoons and coasters all with a picture of Audrey from her movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. I absolutely love, love, LOVE Audrey Hepburn. She's a bit too skinny for my liking, but she makes up for it with all her charm and her stunning face. That's why I just couldn't live with out this set when I saw it at Søster Grene. It costs 49,90 DKK, but the girl at the check-out counter made a mistake so I got it for 13,30 DKK! Yay! (It's also available in a Marilyn Monroe version).

Versace vs Asos Lipsy

After buying purple item no. 5 this months my Mr. Boyfriend asked "Do you have a thing for purple these days?"... awww very sweet that he even notices things like that. But yes, I have. And right now I'm secretly (not so secret anymore) dreaming of this dress that I found at asos.com from the brand Lipsy. I think that the details in the bust area resembles the ones on this Versace dress from their Autum/Winter 08 collection. And let's face it: I don't have the cash for a Versace dress plus the Lipsy version is so much more wearable. I want it.

A movie I'm looking forward to see

I bet most of you has read one or more of Dan Brown's books. Personally I've read The Da Vinci Code, Deception Point and Angels & Demons. And it's the last one, Angels & Demons, I'm looking forward to see as a movie. I was very disappoint about The Da Vinci Code as a movie - they altered the ending and there was a lot of important things from the book that they left out in the movie. But I'm hoping that it will be better this time. I read an interview with some of the people behind the movie (A&D) and they said that they felt they had learned a lot from making The Da Vinci Code. They made a lot of mistakes but they promissed that they won't make the same mistakes with Angels & Demons. Here's for hoping! None the less, I'm going to see it when it hits the movietheaters May 15th 2009.

Tom Hanks is playing Robert Langdon again together with Ewan McGregor and the two danish actors Thure Lindhardt and Nikolaj Lie Kaas. The first promotion stills were released some weeks ago - and a trailer too. Are you gonna see too?

Try again, Asos!

Every year around this time asos.com releases a LUXE collection in time for all the holidayparties. It's always more glamorous and a bit more expensive compared to their everyday prices. They released this years line this week and boy am I disappointed. So far it's so ugly and tasteless. Try again, Asos! It's just too much; too many details on every piece, too much bling-bling and some of the garments just don't make any sense. They are totally over-designed and over-worked. Take a look at these:

ASOS Luxe Scatter Sequin Waterfall Dress, 90 £ (855 DKK)

ASOS Luxe Net Sequin Tiered Mini Dress, 90 £ (855 DKK)

ASOS Luxe Corsage Feather Dress, 90 £ (855 DKK)

There's only one of the dresses I would be caught dead wearing and it is this next one. I don't love and I don't hate it. But I still wouldn't pay the price they're asking for:

ASOS Luxe Pleated Prom Dress, 85 £ (808 DKK)

What do you think about it? Are you planning on buying any of them?

Autum - I hate it

It gets colder, it gets darker earlier and earlier and there can be days where you don't see the sun. I hate autum. The only 2 things I like about it is the pretty colours of all the autum leaves falling of the trees and the fact that autum's still warmer than winter. I don't hate winter more even though it's colder because winter has snow (which is SO beautiful), holidayparties (julefrokoster), time off from work and school, christmas and new years. I hate january and february though - then all the fun is over (christmas and new years) and in january you're totally broke because you spent all your money (and a bit more) on christmasgifts and new years dresses. February is just an "in between month" between the holidays and spring. I can't wait for it to be spring and summer again... but the songs like the one in my submission under this one helps - it makes me dream of travelling and countries with warm sand and beaches *sigh*

How do I get through it every year? I daydream, I party and I shop. Like these babies which I bought today - YEAH! I can't wait to wear them.

Deichmann dark purple satin heels, 199 DKK

I ♥ "I'm yours"

I'm so in love with this song... I seriously can't get enough of it. I love the whole reggae-feel it has to it. And the video makes me wanna travel - right now!!!

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
Please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This oh this this is out fate, I'm yours!

Finally, ASOS!

Finally... I've been waiting for that ever since I discovered the existence of Asos.com. Now you can FINALLY buy gift vouchers for other people to give as gifts. You choose a date and then the person you're giving it too will receive a code on email. Very smart! I can't wait to receive a LOT of gift vouchers! Haha

Election 08 for fashionistas (and nerds)

Who said that a presidential election can't be fashionable? I know that it's probably too late to order anything now and get it in time for the election (considering the election being tomorrow and all), but it doesn't stop me (or us) for having a look at these thing. This would never have happend in DK durring an election though. Ann Hand has been selling all these election gadgets from her website. Personally I like the gold "Hope" necklace. You can see and buy all the things at http://www.annhand.com/

McCain or Obama Candidate-Pin with Swarovski crystals on a silverplate setting, 45 $ (268 DKK)
Palin or Biden Candidate-Pin, 35 $ (209 DKK)
Obama's "Hope" necklace cast in bronze, 50 $ (298 DKK)

McCain or Obama Fashion Sunglasses cystallized with Swarovski, 175 $ (1043 DKK )

The Obama watch, 50 $ (298 DKK)

The website, Ann Hand, even has it's own poll on how many pins they have sold to support each candidate. And at the moment the poll looks like this:

Obama 3648
McCain 2038
Palin 129
Biden 52

XOXO,

More youtube: Palin pranked!

A lot of you have probably already seen this one, but it's still so hilarious and unbelievable that it deserves a spot here on my blog. I still can't believe that she didn't suspect anything - come on, Nicolas Sarkozy calling you to tell you that you're sexy and that his ex-model wife wrote you a song? Sara Palins IQ must be equal to her shoesize.

Sarah Palin and her handlers were tricked into thinking that she was taking part in a Saturday afternoon phone interview with French president Nicolas Sarkozy.
The people who were actually on the other end of the line were two Canadian comedians, called The Masked Avengers, who have a regular show on Montreal radio station CKOI.

Youtube sunday-fun

It's sunday and I'm doing absolutely nothing besides finding fun stuff on youtube. And here's one for you. It's a video shot by some german kids. They were playing "Truth or dare" with their teacher and she ended up taking the game a bit too serious when she was dared to do a striptease for the class. She didn't get fired but she got a warning from the principal. Why don't we have teachers like this in DK? It sure would make it a lot more fun going to school everyday. On the other hand - I've only had like 2 teachers my whole life that I would care to see take their clothes off so maybe it's better that all the teachers keep their clothes on...

Happy sunday!
