Look Book: Sun-drenched Afternoons & Mixed Florals!

Dec 12, 2011

Geez, look at that gorgeous sunshine!! You wouldn't even know it's December with all of the glorious sun we've been having! It's been incredible. We just had our yearly "giant" Christmas tree lighting in our town, along with carolers & live music, and super yummy roasted chestnuts just a few weekends ago. I'm hoping to sneak over there in the next couple of days and take some outfit photos alongside the enormous Christmas tree. I'm so excited by the idea of doing Christmas themed posts; let the x-mas fun begin!
I’m absolutely in the full swing of Christmas!! Our condo is decorated with hollies & pine branches, the tree is up, and most evenings are spent sitting around the fireplace with a hot beverage in hand. Martin & I are planning lots of fun things for the month of December: taking fun little trips, building a snowman, hosting a dinner, and this upcoming weekend we are heading into the city for our yearly x-mas brunch with our closest friends. Ah, we always have the most amazing time!
Summer, fall or winter, I live in florals! And I love how these two floral patterns came together. I just purchased this scarf from Barefoot Contessa, and this dress (my new fave!) from ASOS. I’m actually hoping to wear the dress to Martin’s parents house for Christmas dinner, but I’ll be pairing it with black rose-print tights, a statement necklace and a red lip! Anyone else have their holiday outfits all planned out?! xo veronika
Outfit Details:
Scarf - Barefoot Contessa
Pleated Dress in Rose Print - ASOS
Tobocco Tights - ASOS
Ballet Slippers - Joe Fresh (similar)

  6. Oh Veronika these pictures are so whimsical! I adore this Asos dress and can totally see how it's going to be amazing for the Holidays! Yay for this most magical time of the year!

    I can't believe your beautiful weather, we've been buried in snow and in the minuses for a good two weeks here and although I love a white Christmas, my fancy camera is not digging Winter!

    I hope this week is fantastic and full of happiness for Martin and you!

  10. This outfit is so cute on you. I love floral dresses and it's great that the weather is still allowing you to wear them in December. It's a bit chilly here now for a look like that but maybe with some black tights and a chunky knit I could get away with it.

    Nice photos too btw, the sun makes it look so pretty!

  40. You look beautiful, basking in the sun, Veronika! Don't you love sunny winter days? The air is so crisp and clean...jeez, listen to me. It almost sounds like I'm falling for this cold weather, but of course, I prefer a warm, sunny beach! :)

    I don't have any full outfits planned, but there are a few dresses I plan to pull out for holiday parties!

  45. You are so adorable! I love the outfit, the hair and the smile. :)
    From one Veronika to another! I never thought I'd meet (or in this case, blog-world-meet) someone that spelled their name with a K too!
    You can call me Roni though, since that's been my nickname since I was a child. Plus this reduces the confusion of our names. :)
    Love,

  47. You look gorgeous! I love this outfit. But...isn't it freezing in Canada??? I lived in Erie, PA for a while (which is right by Canada) and it was freezing from October-May. Just wondering! Then again, why would you cover up this amazing outfit??

  49. I love that you have all of your holiday outfits planned already, Veronika! I always wait until the last minute... Just in case there's anything exciting waiting for me under the tree that I might want to wear ;) But I think this floral dress is a gorgeous choice, and with a red lip it will be the perfect glamourous holiday outfit. Hope you're having a lovely Monday!
