New Arm Candy

I am not the biggest jewelry wearer and I do not even put on my watch every day, even though I really love it. Recently however I could not help to notice the “arm candy” trend everywhere and I have to say – I really like it (I used to wear a bunch of bracelets when I was younger after all).

So I used the trip to the States to stock up on a few cute bracelets and came home with some real gems. But see for yourself…

The bracelet on the last picture and the pinkish pearls are from Forever21. The pearls I like to just add to whatever I am wearing on my arm that day anyway, kind of like a “filler” to make it seem like I am wearing more. And the bracelet on the last picture just caught my eye and I love that it is so wide and also the color combination.

The delicate pearl bracelet is a present from my mom. We got it at a store on the pier in Madeira Beach (John’s Pass) and both my sister and I really like it right away. My sister has a similar one, though her pearls are mother-of-pearl-colored only.

The turquoise bracelet is from the very same store and I thought the color just fitted perfectly into the color range of all my other bracelets I bought in Florida. I also like that it can be worn to pretty much every outfit (if it fits in color) no matter if it is dressed up or dressed down.

Last but not least I appreciate how all bracelets fit so well together with my Michael Kors watch – no matter if I just wear one or all of them.

Love, S.

Christmas Wishlist

I think it is time for a little Christmas wish list. Even though I was able to fulfill a lot of my wishes in the US, there are still some open ones. Now I do realize that some of the items are quite expensive – that is why they are still wishes. And I most definitely do not expect anyone to fulfill them for me but am planning on doing so myself at some point in the future. But a girl can still dream, right?

all pictures via

I tried to find an order like “from left to right and top to bottom” but that did not quite work out. But I think the products and descriptions explain for themselves:

1. Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum & Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector: Clinique redid the whole Pore Refining line and I had a serum from the old line, which was not quite as expensive as this one but which I absolutely loved. As I am (almost) out of it I would like to test this one at some point. I also heard only good things about the Dark Circle Corrector so this is another product I want to give a try.

2. Christian Louboutin Pigalle Patent 85mm pumps: A shoe I adore ever since I saw it for the first time. It is probably one of the most simple shoes you can get from Louboutin but it is special nonetheless.

3. Anthropology mugs: I definitely want to have them but 17 Euro only for delivery (the cup itself is only 7 Euro) has been stopping me so far. I want to get one for Christoffer and one for me and either one of our letters was always sold out every time I looked and I did not want to pay the 17 Euro delivery costs twice.

4. Leopard-Print Haircalf Belt by Ralph Lauren Belts: I am in desperate need for new belts and even though I am having an eye on one of those Moschino belts I think it is maybe a bit too flashy for me. It also does not have to be leopard but can be just a nice dark brown but this one caught my eye when browsing online.

5. Tory Burch – Fox Velvet Smoking Slippers: Amazing slippers. I also like the ones with the little cat ears sticking out but those here are also absolutely adorable and considering that regular plain Tory Burch slippers cost exactly the same I think the price is (almost) reasonable.

6. Dyptique candles: Now this is a luxury item I have heard lots about but as I cannot buy them in Copenhagen (please proof me wrong if it is) I have not had the pleasure to indulge in them yet.

7. See by Chloe High Heel Cuffed Boot: This is one perfect and amazing boot and totally up my alley with the wide shaft and the suede. I had the pleasure and took a look at them when I was in Magasin but quickly put them down after I saw the price (I did not realize it was “the real thing” I was holding until I did see the price).

8. Vachetta Envelope Clutch – Ralph Lauren Handbags: Nice clutch which caught my eye. I also like the other new Ralph Lauren bags, which we also have in Magasin and Illum though I could not find a picture online. Simple, classic and just really really nice.

9. Tory Burch Robinson Double Zip Tote: My good friend Julia has this one and I think is it such a great bag (it also fits the 13” MacBook perfectly). I was standing in front of it in the US but did not buy it after all. I was not sure if I wanted black (did not want to seem like a copy cat to Julia) or maybe a nice brownish color (on the website it is called “luggage” – why ever that is) but they did not have the brown but only black, purple and orange and as I could not compare the black and the brown I left the bag behind and am kind of regretting that now.

10. Chatelle Albert Slippers: I first saw those on Mangobluete’s blog and fell in love right away. On the Chatelle homepage you can either buy the simple pair, one with tassels, or monogrammed ones with your initials (the ones I would pick) and I thought they look so nice to jeans – dressed up and dressed down at the same time.

11. Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette: Now this came out only 4 days after I left the US, which is SUCH A SHAME. I would have bought it right away. Now I have to wait until I can get my hands on a totally overpriced version of an European online store :/

How does your Christmas wish list look like?

Love, S.

Florida via Instagram

Like you could see from my previous post I did not take too many pictures. I just did not feel like luggin around the big camera all the time and my parents and especially sister did not feel like being photographed all the time. And besides… in a shopping mall I did not really have use for a camera as my focus was on different objects (word catch, lol)…

Anyhow – I did however manage to take around 120 pictures with my phone, most of them I had posted on Instagram before. I put the best ones together for you so enjoy.

I am back…

Sorry for my lack of absence over the last couple of weeks. But now I am back. Back from 10 amazing days in Florida and back with new energy for school, work, and blogging :) (besides that I have acquired lots of great products in the US, which I cannot wait to share with you).

As I just returned yesterday and spend the best part of day in bed today this post (and the next one as well) will be mainly containing some Florida impressions – I hope you do not mind. Within this week I will start testing and using my new products and start taking pictures to share them all with you.

But for now: enjoy some of the sunshine I brought with me:

1., 2. & 3.: View from our apartment. The first one was taken at 06:30 in the morning on our first day. It got better and warmer over the next couple of days and we did not have a single drop of rain within the 10 days. We also had dolphin visits almost every day. Can you see the fin sticking out of the water on picture 3?

4. & 5.: Some views of our apartment. I never took pictures of the whole place (I should have – such a shame). It was such a nice place. I captured the kitchen though, which was absolutely amazing. I am wishing for such a nice and big kitchen later on. Picture 5 shows my sister’s and my room – messy as always, lol.

6. – 10.: Our apartment was in Madeira Beach, Florida, close to John’s Pass. John’s Pass is one of the very few places, which opens up the Boca Ciega Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. John’s Pass includes both a big draw bridge (amazing sight when the bridge pulls up) and the John’s Pass Fishing Village, which is touristy but in a very charming way. From John’s Pass a lot of fishing and dolphin tours are leaving every day. I really loved walking along the pier in the sunshine and just enjoying myself (while eating some pretty damn good ice cream).

11. – 16.: And yes, we also took a dolphin tour. Even though it was pretty chilly on the boat we got to see quit a few dolphins. They are such amazing animals and have cute little faces. Besides seing lots of dolphins we sailed along some really amazing houses (I picked out my favorite but forgot to take a picture) and a bird reservoir. Definitely something you should do while down there.

Love, S.
