Jeg har givet formidlingen “hverdags uniform” en del tanker på det sidste. Hvorfor er der nogle ting i vores garderobe som vi har tendenser til at bruge mere end andre? Ting vi bruger når vi ingenting skal eller når vi ikke rigtig tænker over hvad vi tager på. Det er som om der er lidt et mønster. Jeg har vist de samme tendenser i mange år. For mig er min hverdags uniform en blanding af noget jeg føler mig godt til pas i og noget jeg synes jeg ser godt ud (men afslappet) i. Det er ihvertfald helt sikkert, at jeg er en af dem der “underdresser”. Jeg tror faktisk at det, stilmæssigt, er den største forskel på Laura og jeg. Hun har tendens til at give den lidt for meget og jeg har tendens til at give den lidt for lidt. Men jeg har nu lært at når man endelig kender sit mønster så skal man også tage godt imod det og værne om det. Og med det mener jeg at man skal købe nogle rigtig lækre, solide items som støtter op om ens hverdags uniform så man i det mindste altid føler sig godt tilpas når man endelig tager den nemme vej, udenom klædeskabets mange udfordringer. Min hverdags uniform er som vist på billederne, jeans, en hoodie, sneakers, en eller anden form for kort skåret jakke og en kasket. Jeg har det for det meste på hvis jeg skal rundt i byen og hente ting, handle, i lufthavnen eller ud og gå en søndagstur. Altid det samme. Jeg mixer det selvfølgelig fra tid til anden med forskellige items fra min garderobe men det er det samme look. Så det her er min kvalitets bevidste udgave af min hverdags uniform. Hvordan ser din hverdags uniform ud?

english: I have given the term “everyday uniform” a lot of thought. Why is there some things that we always tend to wear more than other things? When we are doing nothing or we don’t think about what we throw on too much, there always seems to be a pattern. I have shown the same pattern for many years. For me it’s a mixture of what I feel comfortable in and what, I think, I look good (but casual) in. I am definitely an “underdresser” more and I am a “overdresser”. That’s a fact. I think that’s actually the biggest difference, style wise, between Laura and I. She has a tendency of going over the top and I have a tendency of going under the bar. But I have also come to realize that if you know your pattern, you should also acknowledge and embrace it. And by embrace it I mean, buy some really good items that support your “throw on” tendency so you always feel good when you actually take the “easy way out”. My everyday uniform or “easy way out” is jeans, a hoodie, sneaks, some sort of cropped jacket and a cap. It’s mostly what I wear if I am running errands, going to the airport or taking a sunday walk. Always the same. Although I mix it up with different items from time to time, it’s the same look. So here is my quality version of my everyday uniform. What does your everyday uniform look like?

I dag er der mindre end en uge til at jeg vender snuden hjem mod Danmark igen. Man siger tiden går hurtigt, jo ældre jeg bliver, desto mere enig bliver jeg. Når jeg tænker på uger synes jeg det lyder som længe, det her var 3 måneder og alligevel er det gået sindsygt hurtigt. Jeg føler allerede jeg har en lille hverdag her i L.A og det bliver underligt at skulle hjem igen. For ikke så længe siden havde vi en uge eller halvanden hvor der var gråt og overskyet dag ud og dag ind. Det mindede mig så meget om Danmark og jeg fik lidt ondt i maven fordi det gik op for mig at selv ikke engang Los Angeles er “all blue skies” hele tiden. Der er grå himmel over hele verden, nogen steder bare mindre end andre. Lige nu er det gråt og koldt hjemme i Danmark, men i det mindste er der julelys over det hele, familie der skal kysses og venner der skal ses – jeg glæder mig.

english: Today, there is less than a week until I return home to Denmark. People say time flies, the older I get the more I agree with that. When I think in terms of weeks, I feel that is a long time, this was three months and it has gone by with the blik of an eye. I already feel like I have my own little routine and my little everyday life here in L.A and suddenly I am going home again. Not too long ago we had a week or a week and a half where the sky was completely grey all the time. Day after day. It reminded me so much of Denmark and it made my tummy hurt because I realized that the sky can’t be blue all the time, not even in Los Angeles. There are grey skies all over the world, just some places less than others. Right now it is grey and cold in Denmark, but at least there are Christmas lights, family to be kissed and friends to be seen – I can’t wait.

I sommers, var jeg hjemme hos mine forældre i Silkeborg, hvor jeg så min lillebror Marcus rende rundt i den her t-shirt. Jeg blev straks irriteret, “han er slet ikke gammel nok til at have nice tøj endnu, han er kun 14?!”. Jeg pegede på ham, “trøje af nu, jeg skal have den med hjem” – god som han er gav han mig den og sagde jeg godt måtte låne den. Han er fanme så sød. Men helt ærlig, hvad sker der for at han er begyndt at have sejt tøj? Havde jeg sejt tøj da jeg var 14 år? Det mindes jeg ikke. Selvfølgelig da jeg var 14 gik jeg mest bare i ridetøj og boede halvt i en stald så måske det ikke kan sammenlignes. Men alligevel?! Det hjælper slet heller ikke på det at han ringede til mig for nogle uger siden for at spørge om jeg ville købe noget supreme med hjem til ham, altså helt ærlig? JEG synes supreme er nice, mig på 22 (okay 24). What is happening?! Heldigvis er vi nogenlunde samme størrelse (indtil videre). Always look on the bright side of life right? Jeg synes bare han var så sød da han var 3 år gammel og synes at alt i verden var mor og en lego klods. Nu har han seje t-shirts som jeg stjæler og jeg er på supreme jagt på hans vegne. Hvad sker der med tiden? Kys sendes til sej lillebror fra storesøster, måske du får den her t-shirt igen, ingen ved det.

english: This summer, when I went home to see my parents in Silkeborg, I saw my littlebrother running around in this t-shirt. I was instantly annoyed, “he is not old enough to have awesome clothes yet, he is 14?!”. I pointed at him, “shirt, off, now – I am taking it home!” – good as he is he gave it to me and said that I was welcome to borrow it. Seriously – why does he suddenly have cool clothes? Did I wear cool clothes when I was 14? I don’t recall. To be fair, when I was 14 all I wore was riders outfits because I basically lived in the stables so maybe it can’t be compared. But still?! It really doesn’t help at all either, that he called me a couple of weeks ago asking if I could buy him some supreme and take home. Like really? I, his sister of 22 (okay 24), think supreme is cool, what is happening? Luckily we are about the same size (so far). Always look on the bright side of life right? I just think that he was so cute when he was 3 and the coolest things in the world was mom and lego. Now he is wearing cool t-shirts, that I steal, and he asks me for supreme. Seriously, where does the time go? Kisses sent to my cool little brother from his big sister. I am not sure you will get this t-shirt back, time will tell.

Alle os der kommer fra Danmark. Er vi ikke alle børn af havet? Selv hvis du ikke er vokset op ved havet, er du stadig vokset op ved havet. Jeg har altid været meget bevidst om at jeg har haft havet omkring mig og jeg er endda fra “indlands”. Kan man overhovedet sige det i Danmark? Jeg var alligevel kun 30 minutter fra hav selvom jeg et opvokset i midtjylland. Mange vil betegne det som at bo ved vandet i andre lande. I L.A giver det ingen mening for mig at bo ved vandet. Trafikken er alt for slem fra vandet ind mod byen og det ville tage mig over en time at komme ca 20 km når jeg skal til møder osv. Man kan bruge halvdelen af sit liv i en bil i den her by. Derfor elsker jeg at tage ud til vandet i weekenden. Der er færre biler på vejene om søndagen så det føles ligepludselig ikke så uoverskueligt. Malibu er favorit destinationen lige nu, den kan noget helt særligt. Stay tuned for nogle fine Malibu tips snart her på bloggen!

english: Everybody from Denmark is children of the sea. That’s how I see it anyway. If you are danish, even if you didn’t grow up by the ocean – you still grew up by the ocean. Does that make sense? I have always been very aware that I have been surrounded by water and I am actually from “in country”. Is that even a term in Denmark? Being “in country”? I was only 30 minutes from the sea even though I grew up in the middle part of Jutland. Many people will see that as living by the sea. In L.A it makes no sense for me to live by the sea. The traffic is way to bad from the water towards the city. A simple 20 km can take over an hour to drive. You could use half of your life in a car in this city. But I love running towards the water on the weekends. There are fewer cars on the road on Sundays so it feels way more manageable. Malibu is a true favorite destination of mine these days, it’s really something special. Stay tuned for Malibu tips on the blog soon.

Mens jeg sidder og kigger på mine billeder fra den sidste uges tid kan jeg godt se at jeg har været i et lettere blåt hjørne. Blåt tøj, blå locations, blå himmel. Denne facade ligger lige overfor hvor jeg bor her i Los Angeles og jeg blev så glad da jeg så den fordi hjemme i KBH bor jeg i post nummer 1265. Det føltes lige pludselig som om verden var lidt mindre. Det er sjovt egentlig, med mig og Los Angeles. Jeg har altid været lidt sur på mig selv over at jeg blev så forelsket i LA første gang jeg var her. Fordi jeg vidste jeg ville få behov for at komme tilbage igen og igen og at de små besøg en dag ikke længere ville være nok. Det skal ikke være nogen hemmelighed at jeg gerne vil bo her permanent. Hvor jeg dog forbander at jeg ikke har det sådan med Århus, København, Silkeborg, Ringkøbing eller Herning (anywhere i DK really) så jeg kunne være tæt på min familie samtidig med at jeg boede det sted jeg aller helst vil bo i verden. Men sådan er det ikke og det er der måske en mening med. Jeg ved ikke hvad endnu, men indtil videre finder jeg lidt ro i at kigge ud af mit vindue og se 1265 ovre på den anden side af vejen. Så føltes hjemme lige pludselig ikke så langt væk alligevel. God weekend!

english: While sitting here, looking at my latest photos I see that I am in a blue corner these days. Blue clothes, blue locations, blue skies. This building is located across from where I live here in Los Angeles and I was so happy when I saw it because my Copenhagen postal code is 1265. Suddenly the world got smaller. It’s funny really, this me and LA business. I have always been kinda mad at myself for falling so madly in love with this city. Because despite vitsting again and again I know that someday it won’t be enough. It’s no secret I’d love to live here for real. Oh I curse the fact that I don’t feel that way about Aarhus, Copenhagen, Silkeborg, Ringkoebing or Herning (anywhere in DK really). That way I’d be a lot closer to the people I love and still live in the place I wanted to the most. But that’s just not the case, and maybe there is a mening behind it. I don’t know what that might be yet but for now, I find peace in looking out the window and seeing 1265 across the road. Suddenly home isn’t so far away. Have a happy weekend!

Hvad er det ved at rende rundt som om man lige er faldet ud af sengen? Hvorfor er det så tiltalende? “Her er jeg så.. lige rullet ud af sengen, tilfældigvis iklædt designer tøj fra top til tå.” Oh, det er bare så yummy! Jeg elsker at lege at jeg spiller en eller anden karakter som bare går i seng iført fantastiske pyjamas suits. Det er helt fyldestgørende. Men det er jo det mode er? Er det ikke? Det er lidt som at få lov at være en anden bare et øjeblik. Det er det ihvertfald for mig. Jeg elsker at tænke på hvad andre mon tænker om det tøj jeg har på. De må nogengange tro jeg er lidt småskør. Jeg var forresten i bio iført det her sæt tøj, det var fantastisk!

english: What is it about walking around the street looking like you just got out of bed? Why is it so appealing? “Here I am, just rolling out of bed, dressed in designer clothes from top to toe”. It’s just so yummy to me. This feeling of playing this character who is just incredibly stylish when going to bed – it’s for filling. Cause that’s what fashion is, isn’t it? It’s kinda like dressing up as someone else. Just for a little while. It is for me anyway. I love to think about what people must think of me when I am dressed in a certain way. I went to the movies like this btw, it was totally awesome.

Jeg undskylder for lige pludselig stilhed på bloggen. Mia og jeg har været i fuld gang med at pakke alt vores happengut ned så vi endelig kunne flytte i vores egen lejlighed. Nu er vi flyttet, vi har fået ny bil og er endelig ved at være på plads (siger jeg mens jeg kan skuer et par pap kasser eller 3 ud af min øjenkrog mens jeg sidder her og skriver). Så godt som i hvertfald! Vi nåede også lige et smut forbi San Diego hvor disse billeder er taget. Jeg følte mig som det vildeste sommerbarn i den her mondering. Det gør mig i godt humør at have gul på, overvejer om jeg mon kan finde en gul pels til vinter som måske kan lyse den mørke december måned lidt op hjemme i Danmark. Men den tid, den pels. Mia og jeg kom så hurtigt ud af døren den morgen vi kørte til San Diego at vi glemte kameraet så derfor er billederne i de næste par post’s taget med iPhone. Det er nu også sjovt at prøve at skyde med andet udstyr end den man plejer! Stay tuned for lækker mad tip fra San Diego i morgen.

english: I apologize for the sudden silence on the blog. Mia and I have been fully occupied with packing all of our stuff so we could finally move into our own apartment. We have now moved, gotten a new car and is finally settling in (I say this while looking at 3 moving boxes over my computer screen). Almost anyway. We also made it to San Diego for a day where these photos were taken. I felt like the biggest summer child in my yellow dressing. It makes me happy to wear yellow, I am considering where I can get my hands on a yellow fur to get me through the cold, dark months of Denmark this winter. But, that time, that fur. Mia and I rushed so much to get out of the door, the morning we went to San Diego, that we forgot the camera. So these photos and the photos of the next post are taken with my iPhone. It’s not what I usually do but I kinda like trying to work with new equipment. Stay tuned for awesome food recommendations from San Diego tomorrow!
