You guys know that switching up my suitcase game is one of my favorite things when traveling! When I travelled to Cannes I was so lucky to travel with the new “Montrouge” series from beautiful Delsey. Designed to celebrate women, this luggage line features both trollies, carry on bags and beauty bags in feminine golden design with one of the best zippers on the market! Now this might be a tad nerdy, but for someone who travels a lot, one of my biggest fears is my suitcase popping open by the zipper. My suitcase is always overly full, pushed to the limit and I would hate for it to be thrown around at the airport and eventually pop open! OH all that clothes everywhere. What a travesty. This luggage is designed with a special double secured zipper called Securitech 2 Zipp. It’s 41 stronger than a normal zipper. I felt very calm traveling with this line and didn’t think about the horrible popping, not even once. My personal favorite was the check in luggage (find it here), even though it didn’t seem very big to me at first it is HUGE on the inside and I could fit all my stuff in there, no problem. It’s also super light and I love the feature of the 4 wheels – just makes it all so much easier. Shop the whole series above or shop the cabin trolly here and the big trolly here.

I am a pretty versatile girl. I can do the hoodie thing, the grunge thing, I can even do the “babe” thing but I am also exceptionally good at the “girl with the pearl earrings” thing. You know what kinda girl I’m talking about – the good girl. It’s a role I am very familiar with because I grew up looking up to my mother and my grandmother who are both very posh, put together ladies with great style (and pearl earrings). It’s been very fun for me to witness the different reactions I get with that I wear. If I wear streetwear, you know a hoodie, a little supreme and so on – people my own age look at me and nods with approval, asks me where my stuff is from or compliments my sneakers. People my parents age (and in this case especially women) will look at me with a bit of a disapproving and observant eye. If I wear something like this outfit, a good girl outfit, the reaction is quite different. A pretty dress, good classic accessories and of course the pearl earrings. Now when I wear something like this, people my own age don’t really pay much attention to me but the elder group of the population has nothing but approving nods and proud smiles to send in my direction. “Ah yet another succesful young adult.” It’s funny how certain generations just assume you are less succesful, less driven or less smart if you wear something they don’t like or approve of. I love wearing a dress like this and I love feeling girly and flowy – but I also love to wear baggy pants, sneakers and hoodies and quite honestly it makes me want to wear streetwear even more just because I want to show that what you wear has nothing to do with how succesful of an adult you are. Everybody at all ages should just relax with the judgement. We shouldn’t judge people on the hoodie or the dress that they wear! Everything is love, enjoy friends!

Jeg elsker en god pool, men jeg elsker også en god tan og nogengange når man forsøger at få en god tan så skal man bruge lidt hjælp fra nogle gode produkter. Lad os starte med lidt beskyttelse. Jurlique har lavet en lækker solcreme med SPF40 som både er til krop og ansigt. Den dufter skønt og er nem at påføre, lad den tørre og påfør så din nye bedste ven. Din nye bedste ven i denne situation er Bali body’s ananas tanning olie. Jeg påføre den oven på den tørre solcreme og så ligger jeg mig til at sole. Olien er meget effektiv og er derfor ikke noget man skal bruge alene. Prøv eventuelt med lidt (f.eks. på armen først) og se om du kan tåle dens effekt. Efter tanning, svømning og lidt mere tanning, tager jeg et bad og ender min tanning session med aftersun lotion fra Coola. Efter en tanning session trænger mit ansigt til det bedste af det bedste. Solen er hård mod huden, den tørre den ud og gør skade så det bedste man kan gøre for den er at give den et stort glas vand. Og det er lige præcis hvad man gør ved at give den et lag af La Mer’s hydrating serum. Et stort glas La Mer, ja tak! God fornøjelse i solen venner!
english: I love a good pool, but I also adore a good tan and sometimes when in need of a good tan you need some good products to help you get there. Lets start with the SPF. Jurlique has made a great SPF40 for the face and body, it smells great and it’s easy to apply. Let it dry and absorb into your skin and then you add magic. The magic in this equation is the Bali body pineapple tanning oil. I apply it on top of the SPF and then I lay to tan. I wouldn’t recommend using the oil without SPF first, it’s very effective and I wouldn’t want you to burn. I recommend that you try it out on a small area on your body first to see if this product suits your skin. After tanning, pooling, tanning again – I take a shower and I end my tanning session with the aftersun lotion by Coola. For my face I am giving it the absolute best on the market, the hydrating serum from La Mer. The sun is hard on the skin, it dries it out, it damages it so SPF is essential but so is giving it a big glass of water afterwards. That’s exactly what this amazing serum is, one big glass of water. Enjoy my sunny friends!

Først Bali, så Cannes og så Kina. Der har været en del rejser og de er allerede ovre hvilket er underligt. Det hele går så stærkt. Men mange rejser betyder meget content så henover de næste uger vil i se lidt af hvert fra forskellige steder i verden. Dette outfit er skudt i Cannes og er et af mine yndlings, comfy, hverdags looks. Det var helt perfekt til en halv overskyet, gloomy dag – ligemeget hvor du er i verden. God fornøjelse!
english: First Bali, then Cannes and then China. There is a lot of travels that has come and gone and therefore also a lot of content so the next couple of weeks my blog will be a little all over the place (location wise that is) – just so you don’t get confused. Or I don’t, anyway now I’ve said it. This is probably one of my favorite, comfy – everyday looks. It’s shot in Cannes and was absolutely perfect for this gloomy spring/early summer weather. Enjoy!

Som du måske har set på instagram, har jeg og 3 veninder lige været et smut i Cannes og Monaco. Vi er så heldige i vores kreds at et familie medlem simpelthen ejer en lejlighed i Cannes så vi tog derned på forlænget weekend. Vi drak lidt Rosé, fik shoppet og så vendte vi snuden hjem igen mod København. Vi var i Monaco en dag, vores bildæk revnede og skulle skiftes (det tog lidt tid) men dagen endte alligevel godt med vino og snacks mens vi så solen gå ned over havet. Dette var mit “look of the day” – jeg er meget glad for denne kjole pt og selv helt obsessed med 90’er håret! God fornøjelse!
english: As you might have seen on instagram, me and my 3 girlfriends just did a quick trip to Cannes and Monaco. We are so lucky to have family among us who owns an apartment in Cannes so we just went for a long weekend. Had some Rosé, did a little shopping and went back home to Copenhagen again. We went to Monaco for one day where we got a flat tire (which took a while to fix) but the day turned out great anyway and we ended up having snacks and drinks at a beautiful hotel, watching the sun set over the sea. This was my look of the day, I am currently obsessed with this dress and my 90’s hairstyle. Enjoy!
Peloton Supershop
No.46 Jln Raya Pantai Berawa
Berawa, Bali Visit website here
Lets start this guide of with a true Canggu favorite and a place that is easy to love. With a stunning instagram, white marble tables and gorgeous food Peloton Supershop is a real breakfast homerun. Their bowls are tasty with a generous amount of toppings and their blue bowl is their signature best seller. It comes in a fresh coconut for extra flavor and is being photographed all over the place. They have a really nice selection of healthy shots and scooter parking just outside is super easy. Definitely worth a visit and it’s also my best friend Birgitte’s (who traveled with me to Bali) favorite place for bowls on this guide, and her taste is impeccable so enjoy!
Cafe Organic – Garden Gangsters

B and I had really high hopes for this place, from outside it looks amazing and inside the decor is very insta friendly, the menu looks great and the place is pretty packed. But to be honest it wasn’t the best we tried. The bowls were kind of heavy with not a lot of flavor, the drinks were average and the toppings weren’t very interesting. Not really a place we went to twice but it was okay. We had the chocolate bowl and the charcoal bowl – meh!
Nalu Bowls
Jl. Batu Mejan No.88
Canggu, Kuta Utara, Bandung, Bali Visit website here
Nalu bowls is a true instagram favorite, they have several locations and most people in Bali know what Nalu Bowls is. The interior of the place in Canggu is cute, very island vibe’ish and the bowls are very tasty. Be aware though that you have to add your toppings in this place, it’s kind of nice actually – it means you can build your own bowl and really only add what you like. But they don’t tell you this upfront so as you can see in the photo B and I got them with only the basic toppings that are included. This place is definitely worth a visit or two!
Milk & Madu
Jalan Pantai Berawa #52
Canggu, Bali Visit website here
Milk and Madu is currently at a different location than they normally would be so if you go there right now, please note that it’s a pop up location. Milk and Madu is very strong in the avocado/eggs game but their bowls are also quite good. The vibe of the place is nice and a lot of people eat here. Their fruit is completely freshly cut and their coffee is very good! Their menu is big and there is something for everybody, a good place to eat as a family, there will be something for everybody.
Ruko Cafe
Jl. Pantai Berawa No.99,
Tibubeneng, Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali No website
Ruko Cafe is a small, busy and noisy place that is always completely full. I might have driving by it everyday and the place always packed! The bowls are tasty, the toppings homemade and it’s very fresh. There are a few seats outside for grabs if you don’t like it too busy around you. This is also a good place to bring you man if you have dragged him to Bali because their bowls are big!

Last but definitely not least, my favorite breakfast place in Bali (so far). Bali Bowls is a cute two storage house with everything from breakfast to delicious nice cream. Their drinks, their bowls, their gluten free pancakes and superfood shots were all to die for. I loved all of it and just wanted to stay for hours. A slight breeze fills the little house on busy mornings and the staff is super nice and well informed about the food they are serving. You can also buy cute “Bali Bowls” t-shirts in the shop. The place is filled with local surfers and cool girls on scooters. It’s absolute heaven. A true must visit! Enjoy this beautiful place and send it a kiss from me when you pass by!

Kender i det når man ser en ting som bare er så smuk at man næsten ikke kan være i sig selv? Det behøver ikke være inde for mode, det kunne også være en bil, et smykke, en hest eller en smuk mand! Sådan havde jeg det med den her kjole fra første øjeblik jeg så den, det er nok et af de smukkeste stykker tøj jeg nogensinde har haft på. Det er næsten brude værdig. Oplagt var det derfor i mit hoved at gemme den til et magisk sted så jeg kunne skyde magiske billeder med den på. Eftermiddags lyset på Bali var helt fortryllende og lige ude for vores vila var der helt jungle agtigt og det var fuldstændig fantastisk at gå rundt der hver dag. Paradis findes virkelig. Kjolen er et af Custommades “by numbers” pieces hvilket betyder at der kun er lavet et begrænset antal af dem, den er endnu ikke på siden men hold øje via linket oven for! God fornøjelse!
english: Do you ever get that feeling when you see something really pretty? Like you almost can’t contain it. It’s too pretty? It can be a car, a piece of jewelry, a guy, a horse – you name it. It’s always the same feeling. From the moment I saw this dress at a press presentation a few months back, I had that feeling. Went right to my gut. It’s one of the most beautiful pieces of clothing I have ever worn, almost bridal worthy. Therefor it made a lot of sense in my head to find somewhere magical to shoot it. The afternoon light in Bali is absolutely mesmerizing and just outside our vila it was almost jungle like. Mix that together and you have a piece of paradise. The dress is by Custommade and is one of their “by numbers” pieces which means that there is only a few of them in the world. It is not yet on the website but keep an eye out via the link above, it’s coming. Enjoy!

Tænk at det allerede er 1 december. Så går turen hjem igen mod smukke Danmark. Los Angeles har været fantastisk. Fantastisk som altid. 3 måneder og en del overvægt (i kufferten) senere og her sidder i lufthavnen igen. Kigger ud over flypladsen og forbereder mig på den lange tur forude. Heldigvis er håndbagagen fyldt med snacks og vores fly er endnu engang pink. Det gør det hele lidt mere overskueligt. Det er altid dejligt at starte og slutte mine ture til USA på samme måde, nemlig sammen med WOW air. De er efterhånden min trofaste følgesvend når jeg skal ud i den store verden eller hjem fra den. Tak til jer som har fulgt med på mit lille eventyr. Vi ses på den anden side!
english: I can’t believe it’s already the 1st of December. That means it’s time to go home to beautiful Denmark. Los Angeles was amazing. Simply amazing. 3 months and some extra kilo’s (in my suitcase) later and here I am at the airport again. Looking over the passing planes and preparing myself for the long journey ahead. Luckily my carry on is packed with snacks and there is a pink airplane waiting to take me home. It makes it all a little sweeter. I always find comfort in starting and ending my travels the same, and that’s with WOW air. They have come to be my faithful travel buddies everytime I go out in to the big world, or return from it. Thanks to everyone who has followed me on my little adventure. See you on the other side!

Kender du det når jeans er alfa og omega? Jeans kan få dig til at få det mega, vanvittig godt med dig selv og de kan få dig til at føle dig helt ved siden af. Er det ikke rigtigt? Dårlige jeans er lig med dårlig dag. Gode jeans er lig med lykke – så meget lykke endda, at man nogengange tænker at man ikke behøver at have ret meget mere på. Personligt går jeg meget op i kvaliteten af den denim som er blevet brugt til mine jeans. Jeg kan godt lide ægte denim, helst ikke med stræk og gerne den næsten rå slags hvor man kan se når man har gået med dem, men også hvor man kan se når de er helt nye. Closed jeans har længe været et af mine go to mærker, også længe før jeg var blogger. De har tonsvis af modeller som omfavner mange typer kroppe og heldigvis også de lange, tynde som mig. Gode jeans, så behøver man ikke have mere på, gør man?
english: You know that feeling when jeans are just alfa and omega? Jeans can make you feel incredibly good about yourself just like they can also make you feel quite shitty. It’s true right? Bad jeans equal a bad day, good jeans equal happiness – so much so you sometimes feel like you don’t need to wear much more than just those perfect jeans. Personally I care a great deal about the quality of the denim used to create the jeans I wear. I like real denim, not the stretchy kind. I like it when they feel kinda raw and you can see how much they have been worn or how little they have been worn, yet. Closed jeans have been one of my go to jean brands for many years, also long before I became a blogger. They have many models that fit many types and luckily also the tall, skinny kind like me. Good jeans, you don’t need (to wear) much else, right?
Malibu Farm
23000 Pacific Coast Hwy
Malibu, CA 90265
Der er mange mennesker i mit liv jeg godt kunne tænke mig at vise dette fantastiske sted til. Hver gang jeg besøger det kommer jeg i tanker om endnu en person som ville elske det. Derfor synes jeg dette er (endnu) et godt sted at lave et lille tip om. Den seneste jeg tog med ud til Malibu Farm var min dejlige storebror Frederik som besøgte mig i forrige uge. Han synes også det var et skønt sted. Malibu farm ligger på “the Malibu pier” – altså på en af de mange berømte piers som ligger langs kysten. Det var faktisk Mia som viste mig stedet. Jeg var aldrig selv gået derind. Ikke fordi det ikke ser dejligt ud (for det gør det) men fordi at de fleste restauranter som ligger på pier’s normalt er turistfælder og hverken særligt lækre eller særligt prisvenlige. Det er jo desværre ofte “prisen” man må betale for at spise tæt ved vandet, med mindre man ved lige præcis hvor man skal gå hen. MEN dette sted er ikke reglen men undtagelsen (til den som lige forstod min “he is just not that into you” reference, du er for sej!). Malibu Farm er drevet af en yndig dame, hun hedder Helene og er til at finde rundt omkring på stedet. Malibu Farm er drevet kun af lokale penge og kræfter og kvaliteten af maden er helt i top. Man kan læse sig til hvor alt du putter i munden er fra og det i sig selv, synes jeg er rimelig fantastisk. Folk surfer på begge sider af pieren og du kan høre bølgerne slå ind mod træ pælene under dig mens du spiser. Denne lille lokale perle fanger den stemning Californien er så kendt for og er helt sikkert et besøg (eller 2) værd.
english: There are many people in my life I would love to show this amazing place to. Every time I visit it, I always think of someone new to take and yet another person I know who would love it. That’s why this place is (also) worth making a little tip about. The latest person I brought to Malibu Farm was my awesome older brother Frederik who visited me a couple of weeks ago. He was quite smitten too. Malibu farm is located at the Malibu pier. It was actually Mia who showed me the place. I had never entered it myself. Not because it doesn’t look lovely (because it does) but because most restaurants located on piers are turist traps that are both not very delicious (food vise) or very price friendly. But that unfortunately is often the price you must pay to eat close to water, unless you know exactly where to go. But this place is not the rule but the exception (to whoever got the “he is just not that into you” reference in there, I salute you). Malibu Farm is run by a lovely lady named Helene who you will see around the place. It’s run by local hands and money and you can read where everything you eat is from. Which I think is pretty spectacular. People are surfing on both sides of the pier and you can hear the waves underneath you as they run through the wooden structure of the pier. This little local treasure really captures that famous “california vibe” that everybody comes here to experience. It’s definitely worth a visit (or two).
