At the exam I wore a fantastic new blue dress. Right after the exam I was going to my cousins 40th. birthday, so I had to look a bit festive. We ate lunch outside in the yard, and the weather was amazing - for once!

At my feet you can see part of my new best friend - Emma. She is a Malamute like my old dog, Congo. Her owner is hospitalized at the moment so Emma has come to stay with us for a while. She is a bit shy, but she's very sweet and my male dog loves her! I think she's more into shoes...

These have always been my best heeled shoes. They're from Irregular Choice, and they're incredibly comfortable and soft. I've worn them at many parties and danced the nights away in them...

Of course I wore my best rings, and a few bracelets. I was looking for a necklace too, but couldn't find a suitable one. Luckily the weather was warm and sunny so I didn't need a jacket. Non of my coats or jackets seem to go well with this dress

As I promised Anna of Four Season One Wardrobe last week, I've made a list of my favorite online shops:
- www.dorothyperkins.com
- www.wallis.co.uk
- www.evans.co.uk
- www.houseoffraser.co.uk
- www.johnlewis.com
- www.marksandspencer.com
- www.asos.com
- www.irregularchoice.com
- www.letsbuyshoes.com
The first three shops are all part of the Arcadia Group in UK, as is Topshop. The last shop is Irregular Choice's outlet shop.
From Dorothy Perkins I have bought jeggings and a couple of dresses.
From Wallis I've bought a few tops.
From Evans I've bought my new swimsuit, all my rings and a few bangles.
From House of Fraser and John Lewis I've bought dresses and top. My favorite brands are Kaliko, CC and Phase Eight. I've also bought a lovely snakeskin clutch by Angel Jackson.
From Marks and Spencer I've bought my pink coat and and a dress, plus underwear.
From Asos I've bought bags and jewellery.
From Irregular Choice and Lets Buy Shoes I've bought most of my footwear. Earlier this week I bought a pair of silver winter boots, on sale:

Now there's a reason to look forward to winter! They're lined with thick, furry fabric so they'll be nice and warm when it get's cold(er) again.
Hopefully my list will be helpful to some of you - and remember not to spend all your money at once!
Finally I can't help adding another picture of me in my new dress - I felt so great in it, and I love the pattern on the fabric along with the very slimming cut. This is going to be my favorite! It's made by a small Danish brand, produced locally and in limited numbers. It wasn't very cheap....

After yesterday's sunshine and blue sky I can't believe the rain we have today - and we're supposed to attend an outdoor barbecue tonight! Tomorrow is Midsummer night and we are going to another outdoor thing, with the usual bonfire - if it will burn! If we don't stay at home I'll take som outfit photos - but I really haven't got a clue as to what I'll wear.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
I love your dress and your blue shoes are gorgeous!!Congrats on your exam...I hope you have a lovely weekend:)

Thank you so much Anne! I appreciate your comment!
DeleteHow many times have I typed in a comment on your blog that I LOVE YOUR SHOE TASTE! ;)
ReplyDeleteIf we were friends in real life I'd be combing your shoe collection and asking to borrow every one. haha!
What great marketing to name a store "Let's Buy Shoes." I better stay away from that web-site.
That dress fits you perfectly too and congratulations on your finals!
Thank you so much Joni! If you lived anywhere near me I'm sure we'd be friends, and of course you could borrow all my shoes! I fit a size 9 - 9,5...
ReplyDeleteDid you make that awesome comic bracelet yourself? I love vintage romance comics.
ReplyDeletehttp://dividingmoments.blogspot.com/
The comic bracelet is actually a gift from my twelve year old daughter, who's made it herself! Needless to say it's a favorite, both because of the emotional value but also because it's so versatile, and unique.
DeleteThe dress is beautiful and fits you perfectly! I love the details of your blue sued shoes and the fact that they've taken you out dancing. Thanks for your favorite online shops - off to check them out.
ReplyDeleteThank you Judith! Be careful with the shops - there's a sale going on, and too many tempting offers!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to pass on your exam! Thanks also for the list, it seem very dangerous! I think you should divide the cost of the dress with how many times you wear it and as it suits you very well I am sure that you will get a lot of mileage out of it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anna! You're absolutely right - only the weather may keep me from wearing it - today has been awful with very heavy rain (not quite like England) and low temperatures. This dress calls for sunshine! But I think I can wear it regardless of current fashion trends, so I'll just wear next year!
DeleteIt's no wonder you feel great in this dress--it looks great on you too. I love these beautiful shoes although I would put them on a high shelf...out of the reach of the dog! We had a malamute many years ago when I was growing up.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Terri! My husband and I have had Malamutes for many years now - and some of the other dogs could not be trusted with our shoes, but both Congo and Emma are very well behaved dogs. I think that with all these years of training maybe we as dog owners are better at activating the dogs and fulfilling their needs. These two seem very harmonious and happy.
DeleteHi there, just found your blog and wanted to say hello, and how much I like your dress! Such a pretty colour, and an amazing fit. Great shoes... lots of stylish blogging ladies like their Irregular Choice, they have some fabulous designs.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on passing your exam.
Love Curtise xx
PS. What a beautiful dog! xx
Thank you so much Curtise, and a warm welcome!
DeleteI just happend to stumble upon your blog and Im so happy to have found a fellow "grown up" stylish scandinavian. :) Im from Norway you see.:) I love that Margot dress, im familiar with the brand :) I have just "discovered" Dorothy Perkins and went ballistic :) Have a lovely day! Im a dog mummy as well for a cute as a button french bulldog girl. :)
ReplyDeleteA very warm welcome to my blog! I just went by your blog and loved your outfits! Of course I'm following you too!
ReplyDeleteThose ARE fabulous shoes and I love the dress on you too. The high waist is very flattering and the red buttons are cute. I've never bought anything (other than software) online, but might try now after reading about these wonderful shops.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Narda! Since I live in a very small country the number of shop that carry my size is very limited so it more or less forces me to look elsewhere. It does take thorough studying of the shops'/brands' size charts, and you will have to return things every now and then, but it's well worth the effort!
Deletehow did i miss this - this is stunning on you
ReplyDeleteXo Megan
Thank you very much Megan! I did feel great in it!
