TEDDY TED TED TEDDY

IN COLLABORATION WITH ZALANDO

Everything from Zalando except shoes

Teddy jacket / Pepe Jeans (shop here), Teddy sweatshirt / Wood Wood (shop here), Skirt / Topshop (shop here), Bag / Zac Posen (shop here)

Vi kan alle sammen godt lide at være komfortable og rart klædt på, men hvordan gør man det når man også gerne vil se “stilet” ud? Det spurgte jeg mig selv om da jeg planlagde de januar outfits jeg gerne ville dele med jer. Januar er lidt en underlig måned. Alt det skønne julelys er pillet ned og det er som om der ikke er så meget at se frem til lige nu (ferie mæssigt anyway). Egentlig venter man bare lidt på det bliver forår. Eller er det bare mig? Så – hvorfor ikke gøre januar til en af de måneder hvor man går ekstra op i sit tøj? Det gør ihvertfald altid mig glad at føle mig velklædt. Det her fantastiske teddy tekstil er en af mine helt store favoritter for tiden. Det er super varmt og hyggeligt at have på og så bringer det så mange dejlige minder tilbage fra alverdens tøjdyr jeg havde da jeg var barn. Det ret fantastisk. Derudover er det også lige pludselig blevet et stilet tekstil at rocke, man kan få det i alverdens afskygninger hos alverdens brands lige nu. Jeg valgte at være rimelig “top heavy” i det her look men med balance fra skoene som matcher i samme farve. Tasken er fra Zac Posen og nederdelen er en god investering fordi den nærmest kan bruges hele året rundt. God fornøjelse!

english: We all like to be comfy and cozy, but how can you be comfy and cozy yet still look “together”? That was the question I asked myself as I was planning what to style for you here on the blog in January. January is a tough month, all the beautiful Christmas lights are down and there aren’t much to look forward to (holiday wise anyway) and you are kinda just waiting for spring to happen. Or is that just me? So – why not make January one of your best dressed months? Dressing great makes me happy, I can tell you that much. Teddy fabric is a current obsession of mine, it’s so warm but I also kinda loves how it brings back childhood memories of various stuffed animals. It’s kinda great. And on top of that, teddy has suddenly become a cool thing to wear which means you can get it at various brands in various styles. For this look I choose to go top heavy but color coordinated at the bottom so the look wouldn’t tilt. The bag is from Zac Posen and the mini skirt is a great investment because it can be used almost year around. Enjoy!

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS 2018

Life, Ramble

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS 2018

Nogen synes at det der med nytårsfortsæt er noget fis, nogen synes de er fantastiske. De giver folk håb om et bedre år forude. Min mening er at nytårsfortsæt er en god ting. De giver folk lyst til at give året en ekstra skalle, for at gøre det til det bedste år nogensinde eller indtil videre. Om man holder dem, er op til en selv. Jeg har faktisk aldrig rigtig lavet nytårsfortsæt før. Men jeg tænker det nok har noget at gøre med min alder at gøre. Da jeg var teenager tænkte jeg ikke så meget over et nyt år som en ny start. Det var jo bare et nyt år? Men jeg kan godt se fordelene nu. Det er godt at have nogle kortsigtede mål at arbejde hen imod. SÅ uden ydereligere forsinkelser, her er mine 5 nytårsfortsæt;

english: Some people think resolutions are nothing but rubbish, some think resolutions are amazing. They give people hope for the new year and in my opinion, I think it’s nice people want to make an effort in making it their best year so far or maybe their best year ever. If they last or not, is up to the individual. I have never done the whole “resolutions” thing. But I think that might have something to do with my age. When I was a teenager I didn’t think much about years as a new start. A year was just a year you know? But I see the advantage now. It’s nice to have some short term goals to work towards. SO with that in mind, I have decided to share my 5 new years resolutions. Here we go;

1. 365 selfies
I have decided to do a little personal project in 2018. I am going to take 1 selfie a day for all the days of 2018. Maybe I will carry it into 2019 as well. Nobody knows. But I want to do it because I’d love to see the development we go through in a year. I think it could be magnificent.

2. Eat less meat
I NEVER thought I would write this. Ever. Because I absolutely LOVE meat. I don’t think I have ever ordered something vegetarian in my life. But I have come to realize that meat is not all that really good for you or the environment. So I have decided to eat less meat, not cut it out of my diet entirely but I will treat meat like I treat candy. All in moderation.

3. Out and about
My friends will nod agreeingly as I state this. I am not a going out person. I don’t really go to parties or to clubs or out for drinks. I never have. But I want to change that. In 2018 I will try to be more social and actually attend some of those fabulous parties I am often invited to!

4. Run forrest run
I hate running, I really do. Actually I just hate being active in general. A brisk walk? No thanks. A little hour at the gym? I don’t think so. But running is good for my mind. It clears my head and I need that, living the way I do. I work more hours than I should and travel a lot so I am thinking that running would be a good way for me to calm my stress levels when it all gets a little too much.

5. Put down the phone
Now this is a tough one. Putting down the phone. Fear of missing out much? Actually it’s not so hard for me but I feel that it is hard for my surroundings when I put down my phone. Living in a technical age like we do, it’s hard for other people to understand when you need a break. “Why aren’t you picking up your phone?”, “it took you hours to respond to my text messages”, “you havn’t put anything on instagram today” – is only some of the things I hear if I dare put my phone down for a day. But in 2018, I want to be better at putting myself first, cause sometimes you just really need a break.

Denne December har jeg været særlig glad for at mixe tone i tone. Jeg elsker camel farvet outfits og nyder særligt at bruge dem i de kolde måneder. Jeg synes det lyser så fint op mellem alt det grå og sorte. Og så er jeg faktisk ret vild med at rende rundt og ligne en stor flødekaramel. Det er der ingen skam i. Tasken er Lauras og øreringene er fra Topshop. Jeg er vild med de forskellige former og den nærmest rav farvet plastisk de er lavet i. Fanme fint altså. God jul meget snart alle sammen!

english: This December I have been especially loving making tone in tone outfits. I love a good camel color and love to do a whole outfit in it. Especially in the colder months, it’s almost like being a beam of light in a sea of black and grey. And to be honest, I kinda enjoy walking around looking like a big piece of fudge. No shame in that. The bag is Laura’s and the earrings are from Topshop. I am loving this, almost amber’ish color plastic they are made in. So nice. Happy almost Christmas you guys!

MAKEUP TUTORIAL | CLASSIC CHRISTMAS

Beauty, Christmas, Tutorial

Det nærmest obligatoriske, klassiske og evigt smukke julelook. Jeg bliver aldrig træt af at lave det her look. Det gør mig både glad at lave men også at have på. Det er det makeup look jeg føler mig smukkest i og jeg nyder at kysse alle dem jeg elsker og efterlade store, røde kyssemunde på dem. Jeg har lavet en step by step guide herunder på engelsk, til dig der ønsker at rocke en ægte klassiker her i julen. Den er lidt lang men man siger jo også at julen vare længe. God fornøjelse!

english: Here is the almost mandatory, classic and forever beautiful Christmas look. I never get tired of doing this look. It makes me happy both to do and to wear. It’s probably the look I feel the most beautiful wearing and I love kissing my loved ones and leaving big, red kissing lips all over them. I have made a step by step guide down below for those who wish to rock a true classic this Christmas. It’s a bit long but so is Christmas, or so i’ve heard. Enjoy!

STEP 1
SKIN

Liquid highlighter / Marc Jacobs beauty (shop here), Primer / Yves Saint Laurent (shop here), Makeup sponge / Yves Saint Laurent (shop here), True Match foundation / L’oréal Paris (shop here), Concealer / Yves Saint Laurent (shop here)

Step 1 is definitely not to be messed with or slack on! The skin is the canvas that holds the look, any makeup look! I start with a glowing base by mixing Marc Jacobs’ dewy drops with the excellent YSL primer. When massaged into the skin, I apply my True Match foundation in shade 1.5 N. Perfect for my fair complexion. Then I finish with concealer under my eyes, on the bridge of my nose and in my cupids bow.

STEP 2
BLUSH AND HIGHLIGHT
Highlighter / NYX (shop here), Blush stick / Sephora (shop here)

Step 2 is here to celebrate that glow and those rosy apple cheeks. For this look I use a very crisp highlighter in a nearly white shade. It’s almost pearly on the skin and therefore goes perfectly with the frosty weather outside. For a little warmth in the face, I use a blush stick from Sephora. It’s great to keep in your purse and can be used on both cheeks and lips!

STEP 3
EYES
Chubby stick / Clinique (shop here), Gel liner / L’oréal Paris (shop here), Liquid liner / Wet n’ Wild, Mascara / L’oréal Paris (shop here)

Step 3 is focused on the eyes. The eyes is just as much a key feature for this looks as the lips are. This winged liner and golden lid, signals serious Hollywood vibes. I start by using a beautiful gold toned chubby stick from Clinique. On top of that I use L’oréal Paris’ genius gel liner in the blackest of black. I like to draw my lines using a gel liner before I apply my liquid liner. It gives a nice base for the liquid liner to glide on top of. To finish the look I use my absolute favorite mascara, the volume million lashes in fatale! It’s the best and perfectly dramatic for this festive look.

STEP 4
LIPS
Lipliner / NYX (shop here), Lipstick / Guerlain (shop here)

Step 4 is important! It’s our red base for the lips. I always start with lipliner. I like this one from NYX. It’s creamy and comes in a lovely deep red. It’s a bit darker than the lipstick which gives a nice effect to the look. The lipstick is from the french luxury brand, Guerlain and is nothing short of amazing. The packaging is very beautiful and the color is intense. Stays on for hours. Apply it as you would any other lipstick, just be sure to “fill out” the lines from the lip liner.

STEP 5
POWDER & GLOSS
Transluscent powder / L’oréal Paris (shop here), Lip paint / L’oréal Paris (shop here)

Step 5 is the most crucial step for this look. The setting and glossing of the Christmas lips. After you have applied a generous amount of lipstick you take your transluscent powder and shower your lips. It’s totally okay that it looks like you were caught eating powdered donuts. Let it sit for a while. Really let the powder sink into the lipstick. I use the true match powder from L’oréal Paris. It’s velvet soft and easy to work with which makes it perfect for this task. Dust off your lips using a large, soft powder brush. You will now have totally matte lips and they will be completely smudge proof. Now it’s time for the finishing touch, the lip paint. Apply a generous amount on top of your matte lips and smack your lips together along the way so you get the look you want!

Now all that’s left is to smile and have a
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR HIM

Christmas, Guide

1/ (shop here), 2/ (shop here), 3/ (shop here), 4/ (shop here), 5/ (shop here), 6/ (shop here), 7/ (shop here), 8/ (shop here), 9/ (shop here), 10/ (shop here)

Nok har jeg lavet en guide til hvad du kan give kvinderne i dit liv, men mange af os har også mange dejlige mænd i vores liv og de skal også have lækre gaver. Jeg har f.eks. både en far, en bedstefar og ikke mindre end 3 brødre. Så lidt herre julegave indkøb er vist også på sin plads. Udover gucci loafers, Wegner stole og lækre musik gadgets – så husk også at mange mænd (særligt fædre) bliver også meget glade for god vin og andre ting de kan komme i maven. Så hvis du er super sent ude med julegave shopping er der altid den dyre afdeling i Kvickly! Så må man flotte sig lidt. Ellers er der som sagt heroven over lidt inspiration til hvad du kan give mændene i dit liv. God fornøjelse.

english: I may have already done a guide for giving gifts to the women in your life, but many of us also have a lot of great men in our lives who also need awesome gifts. I myself have no less than a dad, a grandfather and 3 brothers. So a little male Christmas inspiration is also suited! Besides classic gucci loafers, Wegner chairs and awesome music gadgets – remember that many men (especially dads) love a good bottle of wine and other things they can put in their stomachs. So if you have been super late with your Christmas shopping this year, head to the expensive part of the wine section in your supermarket and splurge. Otherwise, click the links above and find some inspiration on what to give the men in your life. Enjoy!
