Plussize Outfit Day: Best of 2012

Hej skønne mennesker! Så er det igen den sidste mandag i måneden - og ikke nok med det: det er også den sidste mandag i dette år! Derfor går denne måneds POD også under navnet "Best of 2012", hvor alle bloggerne på listen på hver deres måde samler det bedste fra deres år. Jeg bliver nødt til at advare jer: Dette indlæg er MEGET tungt på billeder, til gengæld skal jeg nok prøve at holde teksten kort. Jeg har fundet lidt billeder frem for lidt forskellige kategorier. Man kan vist godt sige, at det er mit eget lille award show - bortset fra, at jeg ikke kan vælge mine vindere. Hvis du har lyst kan du jo vælge dem for mig! 

Hi there lovelys! It's the last monday of the month again - and it's also the last monday of this year! That's why the theme of this months POD is "Best of 2012". All the bloggers of the list will pick out the best of their year. This post has to come with a warning: It's very heavy on pictures! I'll try to keep the text parts short. I've found some pictures for a few categories - I guess you can call it my own little award show. If you ignore the fact that I couldn't pick out the winners. You can pick them out for me if you feel like it! 

                                    

Number 1: Der er ingen tvivl om, at det mest brugte tøj i år har været jakker - og det afspejler sig også her. Nummer 1 (og det er altså i vilkårlig rækkefølge) er min ene sorte blazer jakke / There's no doubt that my most worn items this year is jackets - number 1 (and it's totally random) is one of my black blazers.

Number 2: Nummer to er den anden af mine sorte blazere / Number 2 is my other black blazer.

Number 3: Nummer tre er den ene af mine denim jakker / Number 3 is one of my denim jackets.

Number 4: Og nummer fire er den anden! / And number 4 is the other one!

Number 1: Jeg havde kigget efter denne kjole i flere uger før jeg endelig klikkede den hjem fra Asos/ I had been looking at this dress for weeks before I finally clicked it home. 

Number 2: Den lille sorte går man aldrig galt i byen med, alligevel har den slags kjoler faktisk været lidt underrepræsenteret i mit skab - ikke længere! / You never go wrong with the little black dress and that's why I decided to get even more of them - believe me or not; I didn't have a lot of them when the year began.

Number 3: Jeg vidste, at jeg skulle have Carmakoma-kjolen så snart jeg så den! / I knew I had to have this Carmakoma dress the first time I saw it.

Number 4: Jeg har haft lyst til at have noget peplum siden i sommers. Dette sæt flyttede endelig ind i mit skab i november / I've been craving something peplum since summer. This outfit finally moved into my closet in November.

Number 1: Mit første outfit-indlæg nogensinde! / My first ever outfit post ever! 

Number 2: Number 3: and Number 4: Og så deltog jeg i Big Fat Summer Challenge, hvilket virkelig var en udfordring / And then I took part in the Big Fat Summer Challenge - and it really was a challenge! 

Number 1: Der er ikke noget som en lille vind, der kan pifte et billede op / There's nothing like a little wind that can make a photo... 

Number 2: Eller en stor vind, for den sags skyld... / Or a big wind for that matter... 

Number 3: Eller forbipasserende mennesker, når man synes det er pinligt / Or people walking by when you really find it embarrassing. 

Number 4: Eller bare mangel på balance... / Or just lack of balance.

Number 1: Der er vel egentlig ikke så meget at sige til billederne her - jo; tak til søde hr. Kæreste for at lege fotograf. / I really haven't got a lot to say about these photos. Well yes: thank you to Mr. Boyfriend for playing the part as photographer.

Number 2: ... 

Number 3 & 4: ... 

Number 1, 2 & 4: Jeg forelskede mig da hovedkulds i Berlin. Og ja, der er to billeder foran Brandenburger Tor - til mit forsvar, så føles det som vidt forskellige steder alt efter om det er nat eller dag / I fell in love with Berlin this summer. And yes, there's to pictures in front of Brandenburger Tor, but let me just say: it feels like to different places when it's day or night. 

Number 3: Lidt mere Berlin - jeg elskede East Side Gallery / And a little more of Berlin - I loved East Side Gallery.

Number 5: Vidunderlige Hamburg / Wonderful Hamburg!

Number 6: Selvom dette knapt nok er et halvt outfit-billede, så er det altså alligevel en god location! Specielt taget i betragtning af at vi gik HELE VEJEN der op selv - Parc Güell, Barcelona / Even though this isn't even a half outfit-picture it still is a great location. Especially because we walked up there all by ourselves (other tourists go by bus.... we just didn't know...) - Parc Güell, Barcelona.

Og nu er der kun tilbage, at ønske jer et godt nytår! Og selvfølgelig at huske jer på lige at smutte ind og kigge på de andre smukke kvinders årsopgørelse:

And now there's nothing left than for me to wish you all a happy new year! And of course to remind you to go check out all the other lovely ladies and their recap of 2012:

Fabulously Festive - My Way to Wear! #2

First of all: A very merry Christmas to all of you! It's time for the Ways to Wear Challenge once again. It's the second time around and I'm excited to see what all the other faboulous women will wear for this one. If you want to read more about the idea behind this challenge please pay the beautiful Gemma a visit and read more here. The theme is "Fabulously Festive" and I decided to show you what I'll be wearing tonight - even though I just showed you this outfit recently. Anyway! I love it and I'll be wearing it for Christmas eve, however I guess I'll leave the lipstick out, because my grandparents don't really understand why we don't just go for the natural look (and then, when I don't use make-up they tell me I look sick....). And yes: I didn't wear shoes when we took the pictures, 'cause I won't be wearing shoes on Christmas eve either!

Peplum top, skirt and tights - H&M+ / Necklace - Pilgrim

As a part of this challenge Gemma asked us to tell a bit about how we'll be celebrating Christmas. In the afternoon my mom, dad, sister and I will be going to Ribe (the oldest town of Denmark, I wrote about it here too). My grandparents live there and my aunt, uncle and cousins will be there too. We'll have afternoon coffee (that's how we do it in Denmark - no afternoon tea, even though that's probably exactly what I'll have) and just enjoy the afternoon together and maybe go to church. For dinner we'll have the usual (at least in our family): duck, different potatoes, gravy, different types of cabbage and of course rice pudding for dessert with an almond in it. The lucky one who gets the almond will win a small price. After dinner we'll dance around the Christmas tree (well... no rocking around it - we just take eachothers hands, walk around the tree in a circle and sing Christmas songs). And THEN we will open our presents!

On December 25th I'll probably meet up with some old, hometown friends in the evening and have "homecoming party" and on December 26th we're having a Christmas dinner with my dad's part of the family. I can't wait!

Winter Wonderland

Igår tog jeg hjem til mine forældre for at fejre jul. Da snestormen var stilnet af gik min søster, min mor og jeg ud og byggede snemænd. Det har vi ikke gjort i mange år, men det var virkelig sjovt! Og hårdt for håret, åbenbart. 

Yesterday I went home to my parent's to spend Christmas. When the snowstorm stopped my sister, my mum and I went out to make snowmen. We haven't done that for years, but it was so much fun! And exhausting for the hair, obviously. 

 Vi lavede også en snekat!

We made a snow cat too!

Honey, does my hair look alright?

Jeg afleverede (endelig!) eksamen igår. Det var en lang og sej kamp og det er så dejligt at have det overstået. Jeg burde ganske vist hoppe direkte videre til den næste eksamen, men jeg giver altså lige mig selv lov til at trække vejret dybt et par gange. Tiden må vise om jeg kommer igang på denne side af nytår - vi ved jo allesammen, hvordan juledagene går. For at fejre min "juleferie", tog min kæreste og jeg ind til byen og brugte formiddagen på lidt juleshopping. Eftermiddagen brugte vi i Den Gamle By. Det er efterhånden en juletradition for os at besøge den boghandleren, købe hindbærbrød og vanillekranse fra bageren, se flotte udstillinger og nyde julestemningen. 

I (finally!) handed in my exam yesterday. It was a long and tough battle and it feels so good that it's over. I really ought to get started on the next one right away, but I'm allowing my self to take deep breaths for a few days now. Time will show if I get started this year - we all now how these Christmas days are. To celebrate my Christmas "holiday" my boyfriend and I went down town to do a bit of Christmas shopping and afterwards we went to "The Old Town", which is a open air museum about urban history and culture ind Denmark. It's almost an tradition now (I usually say that something becomes a tradition when you've done it four times - now this was the third year) for us to visit the ole bookstore, buy traditional cakes from the bakery and enjoy the pretty exhibitions and the Christmas spirits. 

Peplum top - H&M+ / Jeans - Zhenzi / Boots - Ecco / Scarf - Bit'avant

Vi fandt en halvtom udstilling med samtlige julemærker gennem tiden. Og så tog vi lige et par hurtige billeder inden der kom nye gæster derind. Jeg skyndte sikkert lidt på søde hr. Kæreste, han rettede i hvert fald ikke på mit pandehår! Nå... I må se pænere pandehår en anden dag. Så kan jeg jo passende sørge for, at I bedre kan se min nye frisure.

We found an empty exhibition and snapped a few photos before other people came in. I guess we were in a hurry (I just can't get used to taking pictures with people around... too weird), since Mr. Boyfriend didn't tell me that my bangs looked like that! Well... I'll let you see nice bangs some other day. And I'll make sure that you can see my new haircut too.

Jeg er så glad for, at jeg købte den peplum top (og nederdelet!). Det er så smart, at de to dele kan bruges hver for sig. Og nu glæder jeg mig bare til at have begge dele på sammen juleaften. Sammen med smokey eyes - jo! Jeg går i skarp træning fra i morgen. Nu vil jeg altså lave succesfulde smokey eyes. Det er aldrig lykkedes mig før - har I gode tips?

I am so happy I bought this peplum top (and the skirt!). I really like that they can be worn apart and together. I can't wait to wear them togehter on Christmas Eve. With smokey eyes - yes! I'm practicing from tomorrow. I want to make smokey eyes - I never succeeded before. Do you have any tips?

Jackets I wouldn't mind being under my tree

Ja, jeg går ud fra, at de fleste julegaver til mig er købt allerede. Men da jeg lige snuppede en overspringshandling fra min eksamen for lidt siden, så faldt jeg lige over disse tre jakker. De er altså fine. Og nu skal jeg nok vende tilbage til min eksamen. Jeg skal nok. Alle jakker er fundet på www.zizzi.dk . 

I assume that most of my Christmas present have been bought already. But when I tried to do something else than my exam just a minute ago (I do that a lot....) I stumbled across these three jackets. They're beautiful. And now I will return to my exam. I will.... All jackets are from www.zizzi.dk . 

Things that don't match...

Ting der ikke passer så godt sammen er sygdom og eksamener. Hele dagen er gået med at sove og banke mig selv i hovedet, fordi migrænen gør det mere eller mindre umuligt at holde ud at være mig. Og så at stresse over, at jeg burde skrive eksamen i stedet. Men i dag er det simpelthen umuligt.

Things that do not go together is being sick and writing exams. I spend the entire day sleeping and hitting my self in the head (not too hard, I promise!), because the migraine is making it more or less impossible to be me today. And I've been stressing out because I really ought to be doing my exam instead... But today it simply is impossible!

Welcome to my home - Christmas Edition #2

December 4th - Four picks from Simply Be

I dag er jeg gået igang med at skrive semestrets første eksamen - og selvom det er en dårlig idé at begynde at shoppe vinduer på nettet, når man i virkeligheden burde skrive om hermeneutik, fænomenologi og repræsentaion, så kan det altså godt friste. En del. Og det er en rar lille glæde-spreder, når det hele virker lidt uoverskueligt. I dag var jeg forbi Simply Be og fandt i hvert fald de første fire julegaver til mig selv (faktisk flere, men man må jo begrænse sig.... Også selvom man bare "kigger vinduer") Her er mine fire favoritter! 

Today I began writing my first exam of the semester and even though it's not exactly a good idea to look at clothes online when you really should be writing about hermeneutics, phenomenology and representation it really can be tempting. A lot. And lets face it; it does spread joy, when the exam-thing seems a bit too much. Today I went by Simply Be and I found at least four potential Christmas presents for me (actually even more, but one have to limit oneself... even when you're just window shopping"). Here's my four favourites!

Welcome to my home - Christmas edition

It's voting time! Ways To Wear Challenge

Måske kan I huske, at jeg for lidt tid siden postede mit første indlæg til "Ways To Wear Challenge"? Hvis ikke, så kan I se indlægget her og læse lidt mere om konceptet. Nu har Gemma fra Big Girls Browse fået samlet alle bidragene i et indlæg og det er virkelig sjovt og spændende at se, hvor mange forskellige og fine udgaver, der kan blive ud af samme tema.

Nu er det sådan, at der er en afstemning over på Big Girls Browse - hvem gjorde det bedst? Jeg synes, at alle gjorde det godt og jeg glæder mig allerede til næste omgang. Og nu synes jeg, at du skulle tage og smutte derover og stemme på din favorit. Hvis din favorit skulle være mig - så siger jeg tusind tak! I virkeligheden fortjener alle bare lige mange stemmer.

Maybe you remember that I took part of the "Ways To Wear Challenge" a little while ago. If you don't remember, you can go check out my entry right here and read more about the concept. Gemma from Big Girls Browse has now recapped all of the entries in a post and it was fun to see the many different and beautiful outfits all made from the same theme. 

Now there's a vote at Big Girls Browse - who did the best job? Personally I think everyone did a great job and I can't wait for the next challenge to begin. I think you should go give your vote to your favourite. If your favourite happens to be me - thank you so much! However I really think everyone deserves an equal amount of votes.
