Holland

Oh.. my.. god... now I realize what a long time it has been since my last post! I guess I have just been so busy with school (and sleeping) that I totally forgot blogging. But now I'm back! Last week, I went to Holland/The Netherlands. It was a great trip, and Amsterdam is a beautiful city! I went to a lot of museums and I can definately recommend Anne Frank's house, Vincent Van Gogh's museum and Red Light District is also (even though it's creepy) a very cool place, but not for sore souls...

The only thing that really bothered me, was the boat I was living on. Since it was a schooltrip, the budget was not that high, so of course there was a price limit. So my teachers thought "Hey, let's live on a boat!" what might sounded as a good idea, turned into a nightmare. The boat owners Gregor and Monique were very nice, but the rooms... Man, they were small! And I had to live there with 3 other girls. You can see the room on this picture, and no, there is no more floor space behind the door you see on the picture, only another bed like the one you see. We had to keep our luggage under the beds and only on of us could be on the room when finding something in our luggage. The only good thing, was that all the other girls are some of my best friends!

Copenhagen Fashion Week

Now I can lay back and relax after a very stressful fashion week here in the rainy Copenhagen. I had no sparkling and shining VIP-invitation, so I took whatever I could get. Monday, tuesday and wednesday were not so exciting, and all the fun began at thursday. I went to Copenhagen right after school, and went shopping for a couple of hours. I had a free make-up styling in one of the malls, and afterwards, I went to Urban Outfitters to get a free goodiebag. Some of the garments in the goodiebag were quite ugly and not my style, but I got a gorgeous, black maxi-dress in the right size and a pretty nailpolish. On friday, there were some "Fashion's Night Out" shopping evenings in Marc by Marc Jacobs, Acne and some other shops, but I decided to go to a concert. But then it was saturday... And wow, what a day! The World's Greatest Catwalk, a 1,6 km long walk for the 200 models. t was truly amazing to watch. Can you imagine walking 1,6 km on high heels with a camera right up in your face and 100,000 people watching and photographing every single step you take? I really think those models deserve an applause, 'cause they did an amazing job!

That's all I have for now!

Songs We Don't Really Understand

Usually I prefer songs, that is actually possible to sing along with, but more and more new hit songs, are, well, unintelligible... Even though I had French for a year, I don't understand anything in "Alors on danse" and I definately don't understand ANYTHING at all in this smash hit! But it is a good song :)

Chanel Commercial 1992

I found this absolutely amazing Chanel commercial from 1992. It is inspired by a birdcage, that Coco Chanel herself had in her apartment at Rue Cambon. As the video title says, the model in this commercial is Vanessa Paradis. Enjoy!

An Encounter With An Old Friend

Back in third grade, I had a really good friend named Rosa. She had just moved to Denmark from Portugal, but spoke Danish very well. We didn't really talk the first couple of weeks she was in my class, but afterwards, we became best friends. We had a lot of fun doing silly, silly things (and doing pranks on out sisters, hehe). But at the end of that semester, I decided to change school. We were 29 students in our class and I didn't learn anything. On my last on my old school, Rosa didn't show up. And I guess we just forgot about eachother, even though we live very close to eachother. Then, 5 years later, she sent me a friendrequest on Facebook, and of course I accepted it. We spoke to eachother on chat, and decided to meet eachother someday soon. Then yesterday afternoon, where I was laying in my bed at 3 pm in my very messy room (it's vacation, it's legal to be lazy, hehe) my evil stepmother shouted my name down from downstairs in the livingroom. I ignored her, and fell a sleep again. A couple of minutes later, I heard some knocking on my door, and Rosa came into my room. It was pretty embarrasing and really awkward at first, but Rosa was exactly as I remembered her; nice, open and very talk unbiased. I apologized about my very messy room, but she said it was exactly the same with her (thank god!) We talked for many hours (and I stood out of bed and changed into some real clothes), we had a lot to keep up on and we decided to meet again soon. It's nice with a change sometimes... :)

Cherry Cherry Boom Boom

I know it's not very creative to make a Gaga song into a title, but it just really suits this post! Fresh, red cherries from the garden. Need I say more?

Superior Lea

I think I am in love (again). Seriously, the Swedish brand Acne has done it again, with these amazing wedges! First came Atacoma, now it's Superior Lea!



These boots/wedges are now available on www.acnestudios.com

What do you think?

What do you think about the collage I made, the one you see on the top of this page. I am new in Photoshop, but I would really like to become better! I personally think I did a pretty good job (not to brag, but now I'm doing it anyways, lawl). All the pictures are from different F/W 2010 shows, like Chanel, Balmain, Missoni, Miu Miu, Marc J, Louis Vuitton, Giorgio Armani, Givenchy, Burberry, Alex W, Alberta F. etc. All opinions will be appreciated :)

Cupcakes

So my friend and I went to Strøget, to take some photographs (and act like tourists) and then we decided to get some cupcakes. We went to the bakery, where we found 60 different cupcakes! WHY did they have to make so many, when it's hard enough to choose between two different kinds already? We stood there for a long while, thinking about exactly which cupcakes we wanted, and ended up not buying any of them. It was just too hard to choose between all those delicious cakes!
