The past few weeks I have acquired quite a few new items, sweetening my ensemble été.
I already shared my wonderfully bright-coloured shorts from asos as well as the chic little number of snakeprint cross-body bag, also from asos.
However individually pretty, two newbies does not a summer closet fill, which is why I have made a few additions to the collection. It seems I must truly long for something exotic, since all items are colourful or somehow bear reference to faraway and tropical areas.
The strappy sandals in pillar box red sued are equally perfect for dressing up a pair of jeans or a casual summer dress. Plus they make the legs look mile long and tanned. These are from New Look.
The newfound love for colours, also resulted in a musthave, brocade-inspired skirt on the Zara sale, too.
It is highwaisted an slightly sculptured, enhancing the narrow waist beautifully. I fell very Marie Antoinette-ish when wearing it, though i figure she would never pair it with a printed tee as I did just the other day.

First in is this ideal summer sweatshirt. It is very light in the material and perfect for chilly summer mornings and evenings - especially because of the beach reference. It is from only. Get it here.

I found the most versatile day dress a few weeks ago in Vero Moda. It is knee length jersey and in a graphic jungle print. Buy it here.
Moving on to sale in Zara, one of the absolute highlight of the year. Lately, I have become increasingly more fond of printed bottoms and have long been looking for a cool pair of pants to jazz up my legs.
The thing about wearing printed bottoms is, that I feel less like a circus clown than when I have the print close to my face. Paired with a neutral top, the a wild print south of the navel can actually become a rather stylish affair.

The amazing, yes almost exotic weather which have blessed (and cursed) Denmark the past few weeks, have also led to a few beach-inspired looks for my part. I am especially fond of this one: A H&M swim suit with Hawaii-flower and tiger print, paired with turquoise hotpants (Selected Femme, 2012) and RayBans. A tied, see-thorugh and sleeveless shirt, and consider me off to the beach!
Last note: Even my snacks have been inspired by my jungle-fever: Fresh red berries and salt-free popcorn with a drop of agave sirup, raw cocoa powder and vanilla seeds. Yummi-delight!
