OOTD: A day in between

Outfittet her er fra den ene dag jeg havde i Århus, mellem mine ferier til Barcelona og Frankrig. Dagen brugte jeg på at gøre mig klar til bilferie i Europa, men mest bare på at drikke kaffe med to søde piger fra mit studie.

This outfit is from the one day I spent in Aarhus between my vacations in Barcelona and France. I spent the day getting ready for the next trip, but really I spent even more time with two sweet girls from uni drinking coffee.

Vacation days #1: Barcelona

Den sidste måned har jeg brugt en del tid på ikke at være hjemme. For nylig er jeg kommet hjem fra en dejlig bil-tur til Frankrig, som I kommer til at høre mere om senere. Men for at holde lidt styr på kronologien vil jeg starte med at dele nogle billeder fra Barcelona, hvor jeg tog ned for en måneds tid siden. Jeg var der med min mormor, mor og søster og tilsammen var vi så fire generationer af piger af sted, hvis vi tæller Frø inde i maven med. 

Vi havde en rigtig dejlig tur. Vi gik en masse, nød solen og varmen, spiste en masse lækker tapas og hyggede. Der blev shoppet lidt og vi så en helt masse smukke steder. Vi havde lejet en lejlighed lige midt i byen og det var simpelthen så rart at have et sted at trække sig tilbage til. Det gav os også mulighed for at gå på opdagelse i de supermarkederne og lave vores helt egen tapas hjemme i lejligheden, hvor vi havde afslappede aftener med snak og kortspil. 

Billederne i indlægget her er taget i løbet af de første par dage i byen - der fejrede vi blandt andet min mors fødselsdag ved at gå på opdagelse i Gaudis smukke La Sagrada Familia og et par dage efter tog vi i Parc Güell. Man kan jo altså ikke tage til Barcelona uden at se en helt masse Gaudi, men så er det jo bare ekstra godt, at hans værker er så vanvittigt smukke.

During the last month I've spend a lot of time on not being home. Recently I got home from a lovely vacation in France and you'll hear more about that sometime in the nearest future. But to keep things somehow chronological I'll start by showing you photos from Barcelona. A month ago I went there with my grandmother, mother and sister and together with "little Frog" inside of me we were four generations of girls on the go. 

We had a lovely trip. We walked alot, enjoyed the heat and the sun, had a lot of deliciuos tapas and had a good time. We did a little shopping and saw some amazingly beautiful places. We rented an apartment in the middle of town and it was so nice to have a place of our own to stay. Most nights we made our own tapas in the apartment kitchen and relaxed, talked and played card games. 

The photos in these post were taken during the first couple of days in the city - we celebrated my mums birthday by taking her to Gaudi's beautiful La Sagrada Familia and a couple of days later we went to Parc Güell. You can't really go to Barcelona without enjoying a lot of Gaudi at the same time - but his work is beautiful and amazing so that's fine by me! 

OOTD: Beautiful Barcelona

 Da jeg var i Barcelona fik jeg mig en ny fotograf - min mor var sød og tålmodig og faktisk ret god, hvis jeg skal sige det selv! Så tak for billederne, mor. 

Billederne her er taget efter en lang dag, hvor vi havde gået op og ned af Ramblaen. Her fik jeg blandt andet lov til at snuse og røre i den første Violeta by Mango butik, jeg nogensinde har været i. Det var lidt som at være barn i en slikbutik, selvom jeg må indrømme, at der var lidt for meget polyester alle steder. Ikke at jeg aldrig køber polyester med mig hjem - det sker endda ofte! Jeg vil bare helst ikke have, at det er hoveddelen af min garderobe og Violetas priser er ikke de billigste i verden, så jeg så gerne at tøjet var lidt mere lækkert at røre ved. 

Nu lyder det næsten som om, at jeg har haft mine fedtede fingre på samtlige styles i butikken - og det tror jeg egentlig også næsten, at jeg havde. Nogle nåede måske at synes, at jeg trak tiden lige rigeligt, men jeg blev simpelthen nødt til at få oplevelsen med - for ikke at tale om, at det var den eneste plus size-forretning jeg kom forbi på ferien. Og jeg kom selvfølgelig ikke helt tomhændet derfra. Det er klart. 

English:

When I was in Barcelona I got myself a new photographer - my mum was sweet and patient and actually really good, if I must say so myself! Thank you for the pictures, mum! 

These pictures were taken after a long day on the Rambla. Among other stores we had been to the first ever Violeta by Mango store I have visited. Yay, for being able to touch and feel and see all the clothes in real life. It was kinda like being a kid in a candy shop, but I must say there was a bit too much polyester among the styles. Not that I never buy polyester - it happens quite often! But I don't want it to be the main part of my wardrobe and since Violetas prizes aren't excactly the cheapest out there I would have loved it if the fabric was nicer to touch. 

I'm making it sound like I touched every single piece in the store, and it might not be too far from the truth either. Some might have thought I spend a little too much time in there but I had to take it all in - not to talk about it being the only plus size store I came across on the trip. And I didn't go all empty handed. Of course.

Home sweet home

Så er jeg landet i Århus igen. Den sidste måned har stået på masser af hygge og afslapning og rejsen rundt i Europa og det har været skønt! Nu føler jeg til gengæld også, at jeg er bagud på en helt masse fronter. Vores lejlighed ligner noget der er løgn, jeg har så mange ting, jeg gerne vil vise og fortælle jer - og så har mit speciale været forsømt i allerhøjeste grad! Jeg har en deadline, der ånder mig lige i nakken og jeg er knapt nok gået igang med det afsnit endnu, så hvis der bliver lidt stille herinde, så er det altså bare fordi jeg har travlt med at være pligtopfyldende studerende ude i den virkelige verden. 

Her er lige tre små snapshots fra de sidste to uger. Bare vent, der skal nok komme masser af Barcelona- og Frankrig-spam. Og outfits. Og alt muligt andet. Men først skal jeg lige lande helt, huske at trække vejret dybt og prioritere mit speciale. Hvem har fundet på, at det skal være så stressende at komme hjem fra ferie? 

English:

So I'm back again. The last month has been filled with joy, I've been relaxing a lot and travelling even more. It's been great! However; now I feel behind on so many levels. Our apartment is such a big mess, I've got so many things I want to blog and tell you about - and my thesis has been neclected! I have a deadline coming up, I can feel it breathing on my neck and I haven't even started yet. So if I'm quiet in here it's just because I'm trying to catch up with my thesis out in the real world. 

Here's three quick snap shots from the last two weeks. Don't worry! There'll be lots of talking about my trips to Barcelona and France on the blog in the nearest future. And outfits. And other stuff. I can't wait to come back on the blog for real and tell you all about it. But first of all I have to take a deep breath  and focus on my thesis for a while. Who decided that it's supposed to be stressfull to come home from vacation? 

Wish I was wearing: Paris dreams

Mens jeg tuller rundt i Paris i noget helt andet tøj end det her, kan jeg vel godt lige drømme lidt, ikke? Siden jeg fik ideen om at skulle et smut til Paris har jeg drømt lidt om et nederdel som dette, men jeg har simpelthen ikke fundet et (før nu, få dage før afgang, selvfølgelig). Nå! Jeg må undvære at klæde mig ud som Carrie. Mon ikke Paris er fantastisk alligevel?

English:

While I'm walking around the streets of Paris in everything else but this I'm still alowed to dream, right? Since I had the idea of going to Paris I dreamed about taking a skirt like this with me, but I haven't found one (until now that is, and I'm leaving soon). Well! I will have to do without dressing like Carrie. I'm sure Paris will be amazing no matter what. 

OOTD: Zizzi Fashion Show

Det er nu to uger siden, at Zizzis modeshow rockede min verden, så det er da vist ikke for tidligt, at dele outfittet fra den aften. Jeg har allerede vist jer mit outfit fra eftermiddags blogger-event, men jeg havde gemt en kjole, som ikke lige sådan bliver krøllet i min taske - og det var altså meget praktisk! 

Aftenens dress code var sort, sølv og hvid, som kunne kombineres lige som man havde lyst. Jeg tog det helt simple valg (som sagt, fordi kjolen ikke ville krølle under transport - lidt praktisk kan man jo blive nødt til at være) og så havde jeg holdt make-up og andre detaljer i sølv-nuancer. 

English:

It's been two weeks since Zizzi's fashion show rocked my world, so I guess it's not too early to share the outfit from that night with you. I already shared the outfit from the blogger event from the same afternoon, but I had a dress in my bag that wasn't going to curl up so I could change outfit for the evening - clever girl! 

The dress code for the show was black, silver and white and the colours could be combined just the way we wanted to do it. I kept it really simple (mainly because the dress wasn't going to curl up - sometimes you just have to be practical too) and I kept the details and make-up in shades of silver.

OOTD: All at sea

En af mine fødselsdagsgaver blev taget i brug med det samme (eller faktisk to, men den anden var en parfume og det kan I jo ikke så godt se igennem skærmen). Min mor så kjolen og tænkte på mig og tog så chancen - hun er altid lidt nervøs, når hun køber tøj til sine døtre, men jeg synes faktisk hun rammer plet ret tit. I hvert fald når det kommer til mig. Kjolen tog jeg på samme dag og den er allerede blevet indviet med pletter af min mors fantastiske whiskey-sauce og efterfølgende Vanish under min mors kyndige hænder. Nu ligger den i kufferten i Frankrig! 

English:

One of my birthday presents was put to use right away (well actually two of them, but the other one is a perfume and you can't really see that through the screen, can you?). My mum saw this dress and thought of me and she took the chance. She's always quite nervous when it comes to buying clothes for her daughters, but she's actually really good at it! At least when it comes to me. I wore the dress the same day and I stained it with my mums amazing whiskey-sauce and then Vanish to make them go away (thanks for the help, mum!). Now it's in my suitcase in France.
