marc jacobs shoes

My biggest weaknesses, fashion wise, are shoes and dresses, I guess. This week has been a bit shoe-crazy.

These amazing Marc Jacobs shoes were 70% off at My Theresa and it took me forever to actually buy them, because they were still really expensive!

Oh, but the joy that came in the mail on Wednesday…

I’ve always felt Marc by Marc Jacobs shoes were too big in my usual 36 (my feet are super narrow, which means I can basically only wear laced or buckled up shoes since 36 shoes are too wide and 35 too short! Too much information for you? Oh shush!), I took my chances and ordered these in 36 anyway, since it said Marc Jacobs ran small.

And they are perfect. Like midnight blue butterflies on my feet!

Then yesterday I met Sia for coffee and brunch at Kalaset.

I go there a lot, I must admit.

But why not?

I really like the food (and the drinks).

Anyway, you might remember Sia’s amazing shoe collection?

Well, she gave me these amazing Jil Sander shoes! They are really comfortable as they feel like they were kind of made for my feet… Ach, I feel lucky, two pairs of perfect shoes in one week!

And you’ll be just like a hurricane/Ruin everything

famo

Last week I had dinner at Famo (Saxogade 3).

We had a ton of starters.

There is only one menu.

And it changes every day, which I quite like.

By this pasta I was already full.

Mascarpone cream and plum sauce.

thrift finds

Last weekend (yes, a bit backed up on photos I must admit) I was browsing some of the charity shops nearby and ended up with a skull, a bell and a letter opener.

And these postcard albums!

I’ve stuffed Australia photos in one of them and am considering Korea photos in the other. Maybe a ‘best of’ album? I don’t know.

So I’ve been hanging stuff up on my walls and it is feeling more and more like a home. Finally.

I used to tell myself that I loved white, blank walls but I must admit they are much nicer with stuff on them.

I hung up all my dresses, too.

Put some cameras in my corner cabinet.

It also holds my typewriter.
This weekend I managed to destroy my face in a little drunken bike crash. Oh, life!

Happy Saturday!

I am sure most of you have heard of Vain and Vapid by now – if not, here is a treat!

Julie is a super talented independent designer whose work I have admired for the longest time.

Ever since I first saw the Cecilia Lisbon dress pop up on a number of different blogs I was in love.

Unfortunately for me I was never lucky enough to be around for the shop updates to snap up a navy one for myself, as her items sell out quite fast!

It was pure coincidence that I was online when the first batch of the summer collection was uploaded and I ended up with the last one! I couldn’t have been happier. I have been wearing it with a Karen Millen bow cardigan!

This is probably my new favourite dress and I’m really glad I got it before the end of summer! It is beautifully made and the fabric is super soft and lovely. Pretty much the perfect summer dress, what with the exposed back to keep you cool. It’s basically like wearing a gold threaded cloud!
Be sure to check out her super lovely blog as well, it’s filled with tons of style inspiration and of course, Vain and Vapid collection and shop announcements!
