/ As most of you know I have dedicated a small part of my closet to fancy wear only – see how HERE.Now that all the Christmas parties are approaching many of us (I personally have my first party of this kind coming up on the 18th of November), I thought it would be nice to share some inspiration on festive looks that are all about dressing up for the Christmas season and new years eve as well. The colour red, a little velvet and some glitter are ALWAYS super appropriate this time of year and therefore you don’t have to be afraid of investing in items of such. I bet you they will be on trend next year too. This year I’ve chosen to invest in a little handful of items for my little mini-festive-capsule and all the things I’ve found are from Asos Marketplace. I’m just blown away by how many gorgeous vintage pieces there are that fits the coming holiday season so well! This post is by the way not sponsored by Asos Marketplace, but you guys know I just love their selection. At the moment I am super inspired by Jeanne Damas (just look at my occasional wear inspiration board on Pinterest right HERE), and the look I’ll be going for this year is more feminine with blouses with ruffles, pleats or the like put together with a pair of great straight leg jeans, high heels and a red lipstick. I just love this very French and effortless look.

Som I ved, så har jeg jo en lille mini-capsule til festtøj – den kan du tage et nærmere kig på HER. Nu da julefrokosterne begynder at blive en realitet for mange af os (jeg har selv den første d. 18 november), så tænkte jeg, at det var på sin plads med lidt inspiration til festlige outfits, der er indbegrebet af julefester og nytår. Farven rød, lidt velour og lidt glitter er ALTID et hit på denne tid af året og du kan derfor roligt investere i ting der netop opfylder alt dette, uden at være bange for det går af mode lige foreløbigt. Jeg tør vædde på du kan genbruge meget af det til næste år igen. I år har jeg valgt, at investere i en ekstra lille håndfuld items til min festlige lille mini-capsule og alle tingene jeg har fundet er fra Asos Marketplace. Indlægget her er ikke sponsoreret eller noget – jeg elsker bare Asos Marketplace, og jeg er blæst omkuld af alle de smukke vintage items de har, som passer perfekt til den kommende julefest-sæson! I øjeblikket er jeg super inspireret af Jeanne Damas (se bare mit “occasional wear” inspirations board på Pinterest HER), og det look jeg vil gå efter i år er mere feminint i form af smukke bluser med læg, flæser eller lignende sat sammen med et par basic jeans, høje hæle og en rød læbestift. Jeg elsker det her super franske og skødesløse look.

/ Vintage finds and secondhand items in general have slowly become more of a rule than the exception for my wardrobe, and it’s one of the most sustainable ways to shop for new clothes. Of course you still need to be aware of the quality of the things you buy secondhand, because like with new clothes, it’s not everything you stumble upon that is in great quality. I like going for items in genuine leather, silk, wool and similar natural qualities. When you buy something secondhand you get a unique product, and it takes some effort to really make it feel like your ow and not someone else’s. I’ve made a bunch of tips on that HERE and HERE, and I’l also be doing a more thorough guide on my youtube channel within the near future, so you’ll learn how to find the best items from the not so great ones. For some people in can be quite overwhelming. Anyway, i hope you got some inspiration on working your way through either the local secondhand shops or online to find som nice items for the coming festive season!

Vintage fund og secondhand begynder efterhånden at være størstedelen af min garderobe, og er jo én af de mest bæredygtige måder du kan tilføje nyt til garderoben på. Det er selvfølgelig vigtigt, at du stadig er opmærksom på kvaliteten af dét du køber, for som med almindeligt nyt tøj, så er det jo ikke alt tøj du finder i en genbrug der nødvendigvis er af god kvalitet. Jeg kan godt lide at gå efter produkter i ægte skind, silke, uld og lignende. Når du køber secondhand får du et unikt produkt, og det kræver selvfølgelig lige lidt, at få følelsen af at det er dit tøj du har på, og ikke en anden persons aflagte. Det har jeg en hel masse tips til både HER og HER, og desuden arbejder jeg på en mere gennemarbejdet secondhand shopping guide til min youtube kanal, hvor jeg vil hjælpe jer med at sortere de gode fund fra de knap så gode. For nogle mennesker kan det nemlig virkelig lidt overvældende og uoverskueligt. Anyway, jeg håber I er blevet inspireret til, at gå på jagt i enten jeres lokale genbrugsbutikker eller online efter fine ting til den kommende fest-sæson!
