 Jeg er så heldig at være opvokset sted i Danmark hvor naturen er helt fantastisk. Noget af det bedste jeg ved er at tage mine forældres hund Enzo med ud i bakkerne ved Sindbjerg & Stoubjerg. Det ligger lige bag togskinnerne som går fra Silkeborg til Århus og det er, efter min mening, et af det smukkeste steder i verden. Den jyske hede er et helt særligt sted og selvom jeg ville ønske det lige nu var dækket i sne er det stadig det dejligste sted at gå en tur. Jeg håber i har haft en skøn juleaften og at den var præcis som i ønsker den – rigtig glædelig jul til jer alle sammen!

english: I am so lucky to have been raised a place in Denmark where the nature is beyond amazing. One of the best things in the world is taking my parents dog, Enzo, with me to the hill side Sindbjerg & Stoubjerg. It lies behind the railroad from Silkeborg to Århus and it is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful places in the world. The moors of Jutland is a very special place and eventhough I wish it was covered in snow right now, it’s still a breathtaking place to take a walk. I hope your Christmas eve and Christmas morning was beautiful and exactly the way you wanted it – I wish you a merry Christmas once again.

Armene over hovedet, nu er det endelig juleferie og vi er på vej hjem! December har føltes som et langt sejt træk hen mod en ferie som har virket så langt væk, men nu er det endelig tid. Mailen er sat på auto reply og de sidste blogposts for 2017 er planlagt og sendt afsted ud i det tomme ingenting. Sebastian og jeg har været så ualmindeligt priviligeret at få lov at prøvekøre den nye Peugeot 308 GTI henover juleferien og jeg glæder mig så meget! Tripper som et barn for at få lov at køre den! Den er bare så mega blæret og vi kommer til at flyve henover Danmark på vej hjem, jeg kan næsten ikke vente!

english: Hands up! It’s finally the Christmas holiday and we are on our way home. December has felt soo long, so many things to get done before a vacation that just seemed so far away. But it’s finally time. My email has been set to auto reply and all the blogposts of 2017 have been planned and sent off into cyber space. Sebastian and I have been so incredibly privileged to be able to test drive the new Peugeot 308 GTI over the holidays and I am giddy like a little child to drive it! It’s no less than super cool and I can’t wait to fly across Denmark, driving home for Christmas.

MY CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS

Shirt / Pieszak, Scarf / Becksöndergaard, Flats / Jimmy Choo

Så er der ikke længe til, jul er lige om lidt og jeg ved stadig ikke hvad jeg skal have på. Jeg tænker blush, men det er jo egentlig ikke særlig jule agtigt er det vel? Jeg sad den anden dag og kom sådan til at tænke på alle de ting jeg glæder mig til ved julen. Og tænkte så også i den anledning om andre også har traditioner ligesom jeg har? Det er ikke engang dem alle sammen som er familie traditioner, nogen af dem er også mine egne. Jeg har listet dem herunder, hvad er jeres?

english: Christmas is just around the corner and I still dont know what to wear. I am thinking blush, but thats not very Christmas is it? I was just thinking the other day about all the things I look forward to during Christmas. And then I thought about all the things other people do for Christmas, I wonder if it’s the same as mine? Mine aren’t even all family traditions, some are my own. I have made a little list down below, what are yours? 

 1. Baking with grandpa

2. Baking a second time with grandpa because everyone ate all the cookies

3. Watching “A Christmas romance” over and over

4. Filling my cookie jar with store bought brown cookies (love all the sugar they use)

5. Listening to various Christmas lists on Spotify

6. Picking up the Christmas tree with my dad

7. Wrapping Christmas presents

8. Taking a walk on Christmas day

9. Give my parents dog a red bow on for the festivities

10. Having Christmas eve with my family

“Wauw de er flotte, hvem har lavet dem?” Spurgte Sebastian mig den anden dag da de her bukser hang forrest på vores tøj stativ. Danske Minimum er skaberen bag dem, jeg er vild med deres ting. Måske du har lagt mærke til jeg har haft flere og flere af deres ting på, på det sidste. Jeg er dog særligt vild med disse, kvaliteten er fantastisk og det er så flot at de er cropped. Det er måske lidt vovet at have bare ankler i december men så er det heldigt de også er super smukke med støvler sat til. Denne uge har været møde på møde, der kommer til at ske så meget sejt i 2017. Jeg glæder mig til at fortælle om det og vise jer det. Universet udvider sig – stay tuned!

english: “Wauw, who made these?” Sebastian asked me the other day when these pants was hanging at the front of our clothing rack. They are from danish Minimum, they have so much great stuff – you might have noticed me wearing it before. I love these though. The quality is amazing and i really like that they are cropped. Even though this version, with bare ankels, is a bit risky in December, so luckily they also look smashing with boots. This week has been meeting after meeting, so much exciting stuff happening in 2017. I can’t wait to tell you, and show you! The universe is expanding – stay tuned!

KISSABLE CHRISTMAS LIPS

Products featured
Lipsticks; 1. L’oréal Paris, Color riche in “377 perfect red” (shop here), 2. Clinique, Pop matte in “peppermint pop” (shop here), 3. Marc Jacobs, Le marc in “202 goddess” (shop here), 4. Chanel, Rouge allure in “104 passion” (shop here), 5. Nars, Audacious lipstick in “shirley” (shop here), 6. L’oréal Paris, Color riches palette in “red” (shop here)

Lipcare; 1. Erborian, 7 herbs lip scrub (shop here), 2 + 3. EOS lipbalm (shop here and here)

Er røde læber en cliche? Nej det er en klassiker! Rød vil for altid være en jule favorit. Det vil faktisk bare være en favorit, generelt, forevigt! Jeg er vild med en rød læbe. Om den så er mat, glossy, perfekt lagt med liner eller tilfældigt dappet på – det er så flot! Jeg har samlet mine 5 røde favoritter til jer ovenfor, alle sammen forskellige både i farver og priser. Så er der lidt for alle – også en hel læbestifts palette hvis man er til det. Den her fra L’oréal er helt genial, har så mange fine farver. Jeg har også inkluderet et “lip care kit” – hemmeligheden bag den perfekte læbestift er ikke farven men hvor godt du passer på dine læber. En god omgang læbescrub og den rigtige læbepomade kan gøre underværker. Glem aldrig dine læber. Læbestiften er ikke din ven hvis du gør. Rød læbestift er så mange ting, kan så mange ting og klæder så mange forskellige piger. Man skal bare finde sin egen farve. Happy hunting og glædelig jul!

english: Is red lipstick a cliche for Christmas? Nope it’s a classic. Red will forever be a holiday favorite, hell it will be a forever favorite in general. I love a red lip. Wether it’s matte, glossy, perfect or imperfect – it’s still pretty darn good. Here I have lined up 5 of my favorite red lipsticks, all different in both colors and pricing. That way there is a little something for everybody – plus this new L’oréal palette, if you would like to have more options in one buy, genius. Also I included a little carepackage for the lips. Behind a succesfull red lip lies the work of lip scrub and a great moisturizer. Don’t neglect your lips, the lipstick won’t save you. Red lipstick is so many things and suit so many different girls, you just have to find your color! Happy hunting and happy holidays!

Oh juleshopping til sig selv er en farlig (men nødvendig) ting i december. Når man sådan er ude og lede efter ting til alle andre er det svært ikke selv at falde over et par ting, eller to man godt selv kunne tænke sig. Jeg vil ikke lyve, min ønskeliste er riiigtig lang og særligt min liste på Zalando. Jeg lyver ikke, der er over 200 items på den – tænk at man kan købe sit skab lykkeligt, er det ikke dejligt? Jeg gad godt jeg kunne dele hele min ønskeliste med jer, gøre den offentlig på en måde så vi kunne snakke om den. Diskutere den. Nogengange tror jeg Sebastian er en anelse træt af at blive hevet hen foran skærmen på grund af endnu et par støvler. I forstår nok lidt bedre – så derfor har jeg lavet min egen ønskeliste til jul lige her på bloggen så alle kan få en bid af kagen. Mon nogen af dem lander under mit juletræ? Pretty please!

english: Oh Christmas shopping for one self is a dangerous (but necessary) event during December. When one is out on the quest of looking for presents for the loved ones it’s hard not to find a little (or alottle) for one self also. I won’t lie, my wishlist is loooong and especially my list from Zalando. All bullish*t aside, it’s more than 200 items – just imagine, a happy and wonderful closet one could have! I want to share it with you though, is there someway to make it public? Just so we could talk about it, discuss it even. I have a feeling Sebastian is getting kinda tired of getting called to the computer to see yet another pair of boots. I guess you guys understand a little better – so therefore I have made my own little wishlist here on the blog. Just for you. Maybe some of it will land under the Christmas tree? Pretty please?

 Hvor vild er den her jakke lige? Jeg er fuldstændig pjattet med det perle besatte ærme – så smukt!

Here’s what you need

Som i kan se har jeg allerede lagt min foundation og lavet mine bryn, hvis disse steps er interessante for jer klik her. Til det her look skal i bruge produkterne på billedet, selvfølgelig kan man bruge nogle af de ting man allerede har i brug derhjemme men dette er ihvertfald de ting jeg har brugt. Hvert produkt kan shoppes under de forskellige steps nedenfor – god fornøjelse!

english: So as you can see I already applied foundation and done my eyebrows, if you would like to see how I do this – take a look here. For this look you will need all the products in the photo above, of course you can use whatever you have at home – but this is what I have used to achieve this Christmas look. There is links for everything underneath every step – enjoy!

Step 1

When I apply eyeshadow I like to have a white or flesh toned base so the other colors have a even colored surface to rest on. For this look, all the eyeshadows will be from the Modern Renaissance pallet by Anastasia Beverly Hills and the color I am using as my base is the flesh toned color “tempera”. I like to apply this step with my fingers cause then I can really melt it into my eyelid with the warmth from my hand to create the best possible base.

Here using:
Eyeshadow pallet / Modern Renaissance by Anastasia Beverly Hills (shop here)

Step 2

Going into my crease with the color “buon fresco”, a warm lilac with undertones of taupe. This will be our transition color as our next step is a bit more of a bold color, we need something like “buon fresco” to compliment it but also to be our “blender”.

Here using:
Eyeshadow pallet / Modern Renaissance by Anastasia Beverly Hills, brush included (shop here)

Step 3

Our bold Christmas red “red ochre” is going to be our statement color on the lid. Here you will be happy that you blended well in step 2 as these two colors will need to come together as one. I like to use a fluffy blending brush for this, try Mac 217, it’s iconic! Use “red ochre” only on the outer corner of the eyes.

Here using:
Eyeshadow pallet / Modern Renaissance by Anastasia Beverly Hills (shop here), Brush / Mac 217 blending brush (shop here)

Step 4

Now to brighten up the eyes, grab the beautiful highlight color “vermeer” and place it on the center of the lid. Work your way into the corner of the eye and don’t be afraid to place a little under the corner of the eye as well. The brighter the better. Blend until you are happy with the way it looks.

Here using:
Eyeshadow pallet / Modern Renaissance by Anastasia Beverly Hills, brush included (shop here)

Step 5

I like to apply my concealer after I am done playing with my eyeshadows so I can clean up any fall outs. I am quite messy when applying makeup – am I the only one? Dot along the eyes, around the nose and if you need it – apply some to the chin.

Here using:
Concealer / Remedy pen in “wake up call” by Marc Jacobs (shop here)

Step 6

Setting my concealer with BB powder from L‘oréal Paris, I love to roughly smear out my concealer and then blending it, together with the powder, with the beauty blender. It’s kinda like fast baking!

Here using:
Powder / BB powder in “light” by L’oréal Paris (shop here)  

Step 7

This highlighter is just YUM! Use it on the top of your cheek bones and if you can’t get enough, just a little on the bridge of your nose and on your cupids bow. I only used it as shown in the photo because there is so much going on all ready and I didn’t want to over do it. But usually I am for highlighter allllll over!

Here using:
Highlighter / Creamy touch in “707” by Nilens Jord (shop here)

Step 8

Catliner is essential for a holiday look, I used a liquid liner from L’oréal Paris with just a touch of gold – it’s perfect for any party makeup. Apply mascara, and don’t worry if you make a mess, just clean it up and blend your shadow over it. Problem solved!

 Here using:
Liquid liner / Ultra precision super liner in “black gold” by L’oréal Paris (available in Matas), Mascara / Volume million lashes fatale by L’oréal Paris (shop here)

Step 9

Haha it looks like I ate a big sugar donut in the second photo, but don’t worry it’s just powder. For this look I choose a deep red with blue undertones for a colder look. I love the warm Christmas red, it’s a beautiful lip color but this colder red compliments the eyeshadow combination perfectly. I set the lipstick with the same powder I used under my eyes, if you want a mat finish just brush the powder off and voila! But if you want it more creamy look to your lips just apply another layer of lipstick after setting it with powder. Lasts for hours.

  Here using:
Lipstick / Color sensational in “divine wine 975” by Maybelline (shop here), 
Powder / BB powder in “light” by L’oréal Paris (shop here)  

Step 10

Last but not least put a smile on your face and voila! I hope you enjoyed this holiday look and that you will have fun creating your own!

Jeg er så glad for vi har nogle få steder i København som godt kunne minde lidt om Paris. For da jeg så denne kjole tænkte jeg “den kunne være smuk at skyde i Paris!” Men siden Paris er lidt langt at rejse for at skyde et outfit tog vi til Christiansborg i stedet. Til dem der ikke ved det så er Christiansborg en stor smuk bygning i indre København som huser folketinget. Det er meget smukt både at besøge og tage billeder ved. Det er meget sjældent man ser mig i et helt sort look og jeg må ærligt indrømme jeg følte mig da også en anelse gotisk da jeg havde det på. Men denne kjole fra Sportmax code er bare så smuk at jeg måtte skyde den ligegyldigt dens farve. Den højhalsede bluse er fra Zara og de små sandaler er fra & Other stories – de er blevet en lille fest favorit, de er så behagelige man snildt ville kunne danse i dem hele natten! Et helt perfekt (og lidt dramatisk) julelook hvis du spørger mig!

english: So happy we have a place here in Copenhagen that looks a bit like Paris because when I saw this dress I was like “I want to shoot this in Paris!” And since Paris is just a tad far away for one outfit – I went to Christiansborg. Christiansborg is home to the danish parlament and a truly amazing place to go for visit or in my case for pictures. It’s rare to see me in a completely black look and I must admit I felt almost a bit goth wearing it. But this dress from Sportmax code is just beyond beautiful and I had to shoot it regardless of it’s color. The sheer highneck is from Zara and the shoes are & Other stories – they are a new party favorite of mine, so comfortable you could dance in them all night long! A perfect and slightly dramatic Christmas look if you ask me!

A SEASONAL MUSTHAVE

partybag

Runway photo from Vogue 

Left; Embellished bag / Alexander McQueen (shop here), Clutch / Valentino (shop here), Glitter bag / Saint Laurent (shop here)
Right; Sequin bag / Becksöndergaard (shop here), Chain purse / Adax (shop here), Velvet clutch / MSGM (shop here)

Når du vælger din festtaske skal du forestille dig at du er ude og shoppe de øreringe du skal have på. Den er lige så meget et smykke i sig selv som de smykker du pynter dig med. Glitter, velour, stenbesat, nitte besat eller måske helt simpel? De fleste mener nok at man ikke burde larme i hele ens outfit, vild kjole = knap så vilde accessories, simpel kjole = vildere accessories. Jeg vil til dels give dem ret, med mindre man ikke er bange for at lave print på print eller sten på sten lige som Dolce & Gabbana på billedet ovenfor. De er verdenskendt for at være “for meget” på verdens fedeste måde, så det er lidt hvad man er til. I forhold til fest påklædning vil jeg sige jeg er ret sort hvid. Jeg kan godt lidt en simpel kjole med en simpel taske, her er den blå Adax storfavorit, jeg elsker kæden og den dybemørkeblå, perfekt til et klassisk, stilet outfit. Men hvis der skal larmes så skal der larmes, jeg ville elske at tage den glitrende, lyserøde Saint Laurent taske med en tur ud og danse i en vild printet sag eller måske en palliet kjole, aha! Ikke så kedeligt endda. Nyd jeres julefester, de er så dejlige!

english: When you are choosing your party bag, you must take it just as serious as if you were shopping for jewelry. It’s just as much a part of the outfit as the right earrings. Sparkles, velvet, embellished, filled with studs or maybe completely simple? Most girls would never wear something too loud, wild dress = less wild accessories, classic dress = wilder accessories. That’s kinda the “rules”. And I do agree with them on some level, unless of course you are not afraid to go all out on print and stones like Dolce & Gabbana in the photo above. They are known all over the world for their vivid prints and beautiful bags, and they are the best at putting it together. I guess I am pretty black n white when it comes to dressing for parties. If I choose a classic dress I also like to wear a classic bag, like the blue one from Adax. I love the chain strap and the clean front, perfekt for a night out. But if it’s a party where dancing on the tables is allowed I would go nuts for the glittery Saint Laurent bag and probably pair it with a sequin dress or something crazy printed. Nothing wrong with going all out, hope you have some wonderful holiday parties!
