Lace shorts and how I would wear them

I just bought these black lace shorts from H&M, they were also available in white, but I thought that even though the white shorts were cute and a little more spring and summer-like, they would probably become dirty the minute I put them on, so I decided to go with the black ones.


I also bought this cute turquoise necklace at H&M. I think that turquoise is going to be a really big color this summer, as well as mint green and yellow and pink and.... Basically it's time to rock the colors, and as I've been dressed in primarily black, navy, white and grey the entire winter, I need to adjust to all the colors slowly, but steadily :-) Therefore, the turquoise necklace was really an unexpected item for me to pick up, but I think it would look cute with these shorts and a white top. (I will put a picture of the necklace here asap).

I have thought about some other items that I think would look good with these shorts, and as you can see, I'm really into turquoise at the moment :-) I currently don't own any of the following items, but these are all types of clothes and accessories, I think would look good with these shorts:
By Malene Birger lurex top Find it here!
By Malene Birger silk shirt Find it here!
Michael Kors turquoise watch


I would also pair the shorts with a shirt in a bright color, such as pink, orange or mint green. For example this one from Zara: Bright orange shirt

Last but not least, I found this bracelet from ASOS, which also would be cute, maybe even paired with the watch :-) Turquoise Spike Bracelet

YSL Touche Éclat Foundation!

I'm a big fan of the YSL Touche Éclat highlighter, which I use as a concealer. It's probably one of the best concealers, I've tried, and that is why I'm really exited to try the new YSL Touche Éclat foundation, which is going to be released in the UK July 9. Unfortunately it's not going to be released internationally until August, and since I live in Denmark, I therefore have to wait a little while longer to try this foundation myself.

The foundation will be available in 22 different shades and is going to retail for £28, which seems very reasonable I think.

If it's anything near as good as the highlighter, I'm sure this could easily end up being a stable in my makeup bag!

Gorgeous Grammy dresses Top 3

Hi there!

I watched some of the red carpet footage from the Grammys last Sunday, and there were a lot of beautiful dresses, so I decided to make a Top 3 list of my favourite Grammy dresses of 2012 - in no particular order though...

One of my favourite dresses of the night was the one Kelly Rowland had on - she always look pretty and stylish I think, and this night was no exception. Her dress from Alberta Ferretti was stunning and girly at the same time.


Another dress I loved was Taylor Swift's dress by the designer Zuhair Murad. It had beautiful detailing and especially from the back I thought it was very elegant.


Last, but not least, I think that John Legend's girlfriend, model Chrissy Teigen, looked absolutely stunning on the red carpet. Her dress was very simple and black, but compared with her jewelry and beautiful hair and makeup, I think she looked very chic and gorgeous.

Psst... I have to include this picture of Kings of Leon. They certainly did good when they put their outfits together and they look so smart and sharp at the same time :)
