# Thrift Store Treasure

















Hey there, a quick post from me today!

I should be working on a school project due in a week, but tonight I want to relax. Books can wait until tomorrow ;)

I thrifted this cute dress a week or two ago, but it wasn't until the day before yesterday I had time to wash it. Can't wait 'till it gets a little warmer and I can wear it with a blue, mustard or yellow cardigan!












































I love the button details! And I want to buy practically everything I can find with flowers on these days. At least this was a bargain ;)






















































'Till next time!

# Bunny is never Enough

Nope, there really isn't such a thing as too many bunnies. Our living room is starting to look like easter, and I don't think Jesper has realised the bunnies are here to stay, LOL. Poor guy ;)

I got this cutie yesterday. It was also available in orange, green and purple - it took quite a lot of self-restrain not to buy them all.

Mission # Yellow Cardi

I've wanted a yellow cardigan for a while. I hadn't decided on which shade of yellow, whether it should be warm or cold, I just knew it had to match at least a few dresses in my ever-growing closet. And match my skintone, which is about as pale as a zombie. I finally found the perfect cardigan recently, and which tone of yellow did I end up with?

Neon yellow. Yes, almost as bright as your average neon yellow marker. To be fair, it's a little less bright but it's still an eyesore on a cloudy day ;) I couldn't find anything dress-like that matched at home, so I decided to be on the lookout for a grey dress to pair with it. Last week I found a skater dress in H&M, in - you guessed it - grey! I already own it in bright blue and it's very comfortable and thus it went home with me.

I wish I could show you an outfit shot, but I'm too shy for the camera ;) Floorshot will have to do!



I really should've waited for a yellow cardigan that I didn't have to buy dresses for, but it's such a nice fit with long rib in both sleeves and body. I'm in love! Considering how I don't own any grey dresses, I'd say it wasn't so bad to get that either ;)

That's all for today,

Animalistic

Big news - Jesper and I bought a house. Insane! We've been together for about 6 years, and we figured it was time we found a place where the rent wouldn't just disappear into the blue air but turned into bricks instead ;) I still can't quite believe we found a perfect house so early in our search - it was the third we went to check out (though we've seen too many to count online, LOL!). It just instantly felt like home when we got there. I kept visualizing beautiful decorations and started unconsciously placing our furniture as we walked through the rooms. We move in around 15th of April so life is going to be crazy busy the next 1½ month! Between school, painting and fixing the house and clearing the old place, I doubt there will be time left for anything else than sleep. But it's going to be so worth it!

I have so many ideas for the house. I definitely want it less Ikea and more vintage than now. Recently started to roam the local thrift stores again, and I found an adorable plate I want to show you;

Fox plate / Thrifted
Isn't it gorgeous? Not sure whether I will hang it on the wall or use it for decoration. If you have a fun idea feel free to share in the comments!

It's no secret that I love bunnies. When I saw this shaker set on Modcloth, I knew I had to get it. They're poorly painted but still ever so cute!

I better show you why I really had to have them. This is my dwarf lop Vuk (named after a cartoon with a fox I loved as a child). He has the most amazing temperament yet he is super energetic and really needs to get out and run more often. I can't wait to let him roam the grass in the garden at the new home!

See the resemblance?

I have one more cute critter to show you. On our way home one day, Jesper and I found this beautiful bird. We think it is a Citronsisken, as it is called in Danish, and if we're right it's a pretty rare sight! It looked sick, sitting on the ground not moving when we got close. It sat in the middle of the road so I was really worried it'd get run over if we just left it there. I sent Jesper home after a box so we could take it to the vet. I stayed close to it, about ½ a metre or so, and it didn't move an inch. When Jesper came back and tried to gently lift it into the box, the little guy flew away. Aww. I really hope he makes it! Something has to be wrong considering how he just sat there :(

That's all for today.
