Home and native land

Hello all! I apologize for the lack of posting. The days before the trip, I was busy packing and getting all of the last details sorted out. This is the first (of many) posts from the other side of the pond (the Atlantic).

The trip was good, but of course, very long. It was so nice to actually have company this time though, as I'm so used venturing on this journey by myself. Now the hard part comes: adjusting to the time difference and successfully conquering jetlag.
For now, here are the last of the grad pictures.. Enjoy!
Yep, wearing my fabulous Acne dress :)

I've got candy in my heels

Danced my arse off yesterday, twas lovely. I ended up biking home from town, remind me to bring stockings next time I do that, it's fucking cold at 6am (if you're wearing a short dress barelegged).

I was lucky enough to actually get my hands on this dress, though not lucky enough to get it in my size. They only had one left at the local H&M in a size 40 (which is rather large considering I'm a 34). But I thought, what the hell. Just meant I had to get creative with it if I wanted to wear it out. So, I just tied a knot on the inside, and it worked out alright (despite the fact that it worked relatively well, the arms are massive on me, any tips to fix that problem?).
Picked up this sweet Cheap Monday tank on sale.
My mom is currently baking chocolate chip cookies. There is nothing better in the world, nothing more delicious nor comforting, than the cookies my mommy makes (I know, it's weird, but I still call my mom "mommy"). This weekend is going to consist of eating pizza, bowling and packing. Can you say EXCITED much?!
Have a good weekend everybody and welcome to my two new readers :)

Graduation

Tonight was a pretty big night for me.

I should be out partying my face off right now, but I'm tired and not exactly in the mood. Maybe I'll party tomorrow night.. Anyhow, it was my graduation today. As much as I am thrilled to be finished, it's also quite sad to be leaving a place you know so well. But even more scary, is the not-so-distant future and what that holds in store
.
The ceremony was a bit emotional. I'm rough around the edges, absolutely, but damn it, I'm a massive baby sometimes. As I made my way down the stairs (from the stage), I was nearly in tears (hence that odd face in picture 2). Anyone recognize the dress? Yep, it's the Acne baby! I was waiting to show you guys this new arrival. I'm so thrilled with the dress, cannot wait to wear it again...Goodnight everybody!

..AND congrats to all the other graduates!

New arrivals

I have some exciting news to share with you guys.. My parents got me a brand new, lovely little computer as a graduation present! I graduated (blev student fra gymnasiet) May 21st but first received the present a couple of days ago (because it was delayed). I really don't care that I first got the gift now, this is one awesome present (and completely unexpected too).
Meet my lovely Dell Vostro V 13 (AND my new Acne shirt, hard to see here, some better pictures will surface soon).

And.. here's a cute picture of Sufjan and I for good measure :)

Hope we meet again

My great grandma passed away this morning. I've been listening to Sigur Ros, contemplating the injustices of life and the inevitibility of death. All of this is of course not only upsetting, but tiring.

My head aches and some might wonder how I am able to write here at all. I'm not cold, emotionless or careless, I simply know the best way to get over this type of stuff, is to go on with your day and to keep yourself occupied.. otherwise I'll spend the rest of the day in my bed, crying.

Samsøe Samsøe cardigan, Wilfred bustier top, Won Hundred jeans, S///Bar wedges.

Hope everyone else is having a better start to the week than I have had.

We lift our hands

Things I don't like:
1) Creepy people who ring the doorbell and wait outside my house for 20 minutes until my brother makes them leave.
2) Danish people who write in English on their blogs. I'm sorry, I know you're doing this with the best of intentions but it's so ridiculously frustrating to read. I am a sucker for grammar and spelling.
3) Not having tons of money to blow on all the awesome sales taking place at the mall and in cyberspace (though, I did manage to buy several lovely things anyway, haha).
4) Chipped nailpolish

Things I like:
1) New clothes that were on sale.
2) Dancing to electronic beats at 4 in the morning.
3) That I'm leaving for Canada in 11 days!
4) Awesome neighbours who I can chill with, talk serious stuff with, drink Coke with. They rock.
Bought these two lovely accessories that I've been looking at for a while now. The clutch is a sweet vintage find from the local (and rocking) vintage store here in town (Zappa, Kolding, I recommend you check it out if you have the chance). Bracelet from Gestuz, necklace from Second Female.
New vest and jeans from Won Hundred.

I've picked up a couple more items (not showcased in this entry). Stay tuned, they'll be posted within the coming week. Have a good weekend everyone!

Pleasant surprises

I received a gift card that was slightly hard to use. I'll be purchasing the beautiful Acne dress next week, so I didn't want to spend more than what was on the gift card (trying to avoid a guilty conscience).

I stepped into Vero Moda with little expectation. Not that there is anything wrong with Vero Moda at all, it's just that I never shop there. But then I saw this dress hanging in the back of the store and I thought "that's it". And it was just "it". The quality is (obviously) not fantastic, but I'm thinking it will make for a cute going-out outfit and will look nice for an everyday look with a blazer. Meet my new black dress:
For 200kr, I'm pretty damn satisfied. I think I'll be wearing this baby tonight actually! And.. stay tuned. Samsøe is throwing a massive sale and I'm bringing some goodies home within the next few days :)

Lazy ass Monday

I've had some seriously fun-filled days. Been bumming around, sleeping in, eating massive amounts of icecream (Ben & Jerrys of course), watched good movies, painted my nails, and so on. I'm loving all of this free time.
When I get some money in the bank, this so-called "feriepenge", I'm defintely purchasing this dress. I have come to realize that I simply cannot live a peaceful existence without it. This is what I looked like this weekend. I don't believe I've posted a picture wearing my new leather shorts, but here they are! Aren't they fucking awesome?!
Dixie hat, Topshop denim shirt, Samsøe white tank, vintage leather shorts, Smuk shoes.
I think I'll leave you all for now. I have some cookies and a couple of great movies waiting for me. And.. welcome to the new readers!

As good, if not better

I'm usually really against "copying" other bloggers when it comes to posts about specific things. An example was when anywho.dk posted a piece entirely on their shoes- within 24 hours, scores of amature bloggers had done the same, though with less designer and more H&M (not that there is anything wrong with H&M at all, I mean I have tons of that stuff, I'm merely pointing out a rather obvious fact)...

But but but.. I just saw one of my fellow bloggers had posted an entry concerning her new and seriously beautiful dog. I'm asuming the puppy is also a lab (like mine). I love dogs. They're fucking awesome. Nothing beats the love and loyality a dog brings. Meet my baby (again):
These shots are actually very recent too. His name is Sufjan (after Sufjan Stevens).

As far as this goes

As far as posting goes, I've been slacking (duh). I've also gotten pretty lazy when it comes to taking daily pictures of what I'm wearing. But admitting something is the first step toward change! I've actually got quite a few new things to share..
Acne jacket, Urban Outfitters jeans, Dixie hat.
New net shirt from Vila, MbyM jacket, MbyM skirt, Chanel nails, and NEW HAIR.

The last picture is from Thursday. Hit up town pretty hard, it was fabulous (just what I needed). I also got some blonde streaks in my hair, freshen things up for summer you know. Anyhow, the net shirt from Vila is pretty effin' sweet if I do say so myself (only cost me 180kr!).
Have a good weekend everyone!

Slaps and Sticks

The Acne fairy has paid me a visit. Along with the Chanel fairy, the jewellery fairy and a bunch of other fairies. My graduation parties were a success. The food rocked, the weather rocked, the atmosphere rocked, the presents rocked and the drunken fools rocked. To sum up? It rocked. Check my new shit out below.

Earrings as a present from some lovelies yesterday. Bracelet from Malta. All the thin, silver bangles are intertwined to make one. It fuckin' rocks my world.
Dragon and Diabolic, two new Chanel shades I picked up with a gift card I received.
My new Acne jacket! Holy shit this jacket is going to be glued to my body.
Yet another new bodystocking (same print and make as the one with the zipper). I simply couldn't resist the print, I had to own this one as well. And.. I'm already pretty darn happy with it. Picked this one up in Århus.
Happy Tuesday everyone!

Grilling and such

How come this town is filled with so many effing crazy people? In times like these, you have to keep your friends close. Those people who make you happy, those who give you hope in life, those who treat you well, those you can trust and depend on, those who can make you laugh.. those are the people that are worth your time.

And this evening, I'll be spending time with these certain people. Can't wait to have my house filled with all these great people, I'm lucky to have found you guys. Thanks for making my life worth while.
MbyM jacket, Zara shirt.

I know studs are "on their way out", but when I saw this jacket in Århus at a fraction of its original cost, I couldn't resist. And when you pay so little for something, it doesn't really matter if you don't end up wearing it all the time.

Summer notes

Since my return from Malta, I've been buming it up in Århus. Lounging around in the garden, tanning, eating unhealthy food, and listening to sweet tunes.

The weather has been fabulous and I'm thoroughly enjoying this. I am so happy I brought my bathing suit along. While in Århus, I've made several purchases.. pictures will come soon! I'll leave you all with narcissistic overload of me pictures chilling like a villain. Annnd.. notice the awesome new shades :D
Bikini from H&M, bought at Smykkekælderen in Århus.

The Maltese Adventure

As promised, here are some pictures from the Malta adventure.. unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of all the outfits. As I had predicted, the newly purchased hat made a perfect addition to my Malta wardrobe.. I also suspect it's going to be perfect for the entire summer. Not bad!

Returned

Hello lovelies :)
So basically, I got home from Malta, but but but I'm in Århus now, relaxing and having yet another mini-vacation, so pictures will have to wait. As soon as I get home, I will post pictures.


My trip to Malta was alright. I was missing some company seeing as I went with my brother and dad. It would've been nice to have my man or a friend with me. I didn't really do much shopping. There were several reasons for this...

1) I'm trying to save up for my trip to Canada (in less than a month)
2) Much of the stuff was over-priced due to it being such a popular tourist location
3) All the stuff I wanted to buy was from stores that we have here in DK anyway (Topshop, Zara, etc)

I did pick up a couple of things though- A black dress from Zara with the print of an ape and a neat silver bracelet. Pictures of these items will arrive along with the other vacation pictures.

Hoping everyone else is enjoying the good weather we're having! And.. welcome to the 3 new readers :)
