One thing I love about living in Denmark is the summer nights. We have very few hours of actual night in the summer season. Unfortunately, the opposite is true in the winter, but I try not to think t...
Link to t-shirt (above) here. Currently I’m in love with Carin Wester! The Swedish designer used to work for the label Paul & Friends, another Swedish label. Paul & Friends which...
I have always been fascinated with the beatniks. I love Allen Ginsberg’s poem ‘Howl’, from which the headline of this post harks. However, the unsung writers of the beat generation ...
I love trenchcoats. I have two: A black trench from Wood Wood, and a beige one from Benetton, bought around 1990 when trenches were last in fashion. Well, not that they’ve really been out of fa...
Warning: This post contains nudity. Photographer Astrid Dalum has made a photo series about women and their relationship to their bodies. It’s called ‘I am Woman’ (“Jeg er kvi...
Wednesday night I went for a ride on the boyfriend’s bike. Copenhagen is great for biking – there be bicycle paths to and fro and everywhere. However, this particular bike did not have it...
The blues is what I get when I look at my purse and compare it’s contents with all the beautiful clothes I wish I could afford. This season royal blue is everywhere. Such a lovely shade –...
When I was a kid, elderly ladies used to be frumpy old things that clustered around the bus stop in their trenches and their knitted hats. They had brown nylon stockings that made their legs look lik...
I know there are countless tributes to Audrey Hepburn’s wardrobe in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. But here’s another one, I’m afraid. I can’t help it. Usually it’s Given...
I went to the COS store in Copenhagen today, which – shame on me – was my first visit. COS is a more expensive fashion line by H&M than the main high street brand. It’s mid-rang...
To avoid aquirering the kind of wardrobe that will never see the light of day, you have to face certain things about yourself – and your lifetyle. Like for instance: How often do you need a rea...
Went for a Sunday walk around Frederiksberg, since the car has broken down. Saw these two fashionistas at Joe’s and the Juice. They were immaculately dressed from top to toe in black. I found t...
Though I seldom stay tuned for the actual giving out of statues, I do love The Oscar Show. It’s one of the only events that really calls for some old-school glamour, and I love seeing designers...
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a philosophical novel from 1974. It’s a huge bestseller, which recounts the travels of a motorcyclist and his son, as they traverse the American con...
I’m usually not too interested in fashion models (unless they’re fashion icons, but I see that as something entirely different), but I came across some pictures of some current Danish mod...
It’s the winter holiday, and I woke up to a bright, sunny morning of the kind that looks pretty from inside, but once you venture out, your extremeties turn into freeze dried beef jerky. So, pe...
It’s been almost a couple of weeks since Copenhagen Fashion week, and I’m not quite done moping about the fact that I couldn’t go. The thing about being a mum is that when thereR...
This is me in the boyfriend’s flat – or, I should say, the boyfriend’s former flat, as he is moving in with me. I’m wearing a knitted jumper from Second Female and leggings fr...
In 1972, David Bowie released the concept album “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars”. The songs were loosely built up around a story about a benevolent alien (Z...
Today I went to an H&M shop to buy some cheaps socks for my son, and they gave me a voucher for 50 DKKR (about 5 pounds) to be used between Feb. 6th and 11th. They know exactly what they’re...
I love reading fashion blogs, they’re such an inspiration. There are so many ways to go about it, but I find that the ones I like the best are either particularly clever, or have a very clear a...
Ironing the boyfriend’s shirt is almost a guilty pleasure, as the imagery it calls up is not what I would ordinarily like to be associated with. However, there’s something zen about ironi...
Here I am doing my rock chick impersonation. Impersonation because, well – I do like rock, but I’m not sure I’m that much of a rebel apart from that. The mess in the background is a...
Recently I’ve fallen for Bllack Noir, which is a Danish label that was launched in 2007, designed by Peter Ingwersen. The clothes are meant for a younger audience, quite specifically rock chick...
I’ve promised myself a long time ago that I wanted to do a post about Danish designer Yvonne Koné’s beautiful bags. I don’t own anything by her, but I would surely like to. I...
Pretty Pastels by Acne My love affair with everything rose coloured began around 1987, which, incidentally, was also the year my parents finished building an extension to my childhood home, and I got...
I’ve always been in awe of the jitterbug age: The impossibly sculpted hairstyles, the swishing skirts, and the seemingly gravity defying dancing. With rockabilly, the style has had a comeback, ...
Wonderful sculptural work in paper by young artist Sandra Havlicek Today the boyfriend and I went to an exhibition at Kunstforeningen Gl. Strand, which is a lovely gallery in the centre of Copenhagen...
We’re about halfway into winter, and I’ve been whining about getting a substitute for my battered old winter jacket since October. Well, I finally managed to procure a proper down jacket ...
