Wish list: The closet

Jeg ved godt, at det er mere og mere moderne at få købt sine julegaver inden kalenderen overhovedet bliver vendt til december - og i den forstand, så er denne række af indlæg virkelig sent ude. Ikke desto mindre, så kommer de altså, jeg er nemlig en af dem, der 1) Selv først køber gaver midt/sidst i december og 2) Aldrig rigtig bliver færdig med min ønskeseddel. 

Og uden mere introduktion kommer så her lidt ekstra godter til ønskelisten - i dag med fokus på noget lækkert, der kan rykke ind i klædeskabet. 

English:

I know some (maybe even most) people like to buy all their presents for Christmas before it's even december - when we put it that way these posts I'm bringing to you know and the following days are really late. Never the less; here they are since 1) I'm one of those people that don't buy present before the middle of December and 2) I'm one of those people that never seem to really finish my wish list. 

And now; here's a few goodies for your wishlist - today we focuse on pretty things that could move into your closet.

Driving home for Christmas

Sådan her har jeg det i aften klokken 19: Nu har jeg fået fri fra arbejde og min kæreste har hentet mig og vi er på vej til Esbjerg, hvor jeg skal hjem og holde jul med min dejligste familie. Life is good.

Tonight I'll be like this: I'm off work now and my boyfriend just picked me up and we're on our way to Esbjerg where I'll be spending Christmas with my lovely family. Life is good. 

Half of my day

Halvdelen af min dag har jeg brugt på at transskribere interviews, den anden halvdel blev brugt på at samle julehumør ind med min kæreste i Den Gamle By. Jeg elsker det sted og mere om det senere!

English:
Half of my day was spent transcribing interviews (it's a slow job!), and the other half was spend gathering Christmas spirits with my boyrfriend in "The Old Town" in Aarhus. I love that place and will show you more pictures later.

one of these days) / Ring from Stine A / Earring from Linje & Jo / Necklace from Dogeared / Flower by Kenzo

Christmas Wishes - Black and White

Det er snart jul og selvom jeg har sendt min ønskeseddel afsted til julemandens ansatte for længst, så kan der jo godt dukke flere ting op alligevel. Her er en god blanding af gamle ønsker fra listen og nogle, der har sneget sig ind i løbet af de sidste uger, mens jeg har været ude at kigge efter gaver til alle mulige andre end lige mig selv. Og så en god blanding af realistiske ønsker og drømme-ønsker, som man ikke rigtigt kan være bekendt at skrive på ønskesedlen.

Jeg har noget med smykker for tiden. Specielt øreringe og ringe hitter. Lige nu er jeg specielt vild med Stine A's øreringe og den her ring fra Jane Kønig (selvom en sten eller to mindre også kan gøre det) - den er så fin, så fin (og dyr).

Nederdelet og blusen er begge fra mit favoritbrand for tiden, Junarose. Jeg kan lige se det for mig til årets julefrokost, selvom hvid måske ikke er jordens mest praktiske farve til den slags dage. Men det kunne altså være pænt! Vasen er fra butikken Notre Dame, som for nyligt har fået en webshop, så vi jyder også kan nyde godt af butikkens fine ting. Det er en af mine favoritbutikker i København og jeg har brugt en del tid derinde de sidste par måneder, hvor jeg har drømt om, hvordan mit store hjem engang måske skal se ud.

Ansigtsolien fra Nilens Jord virker simpelthen så lækker og min hud skriger tit på ekstra meget fugt - vinteren er bestemt slet ingen undtagelse!

Christmas is just around the corner and even though I send my Christmas wish list to Santa's helpers a while ago things keep sneaking on my imaginary wish list. This is a good mix from old and new wishes - and also a good mix from realistic wishes and... well, dream-wishes, because they're too expensive to put on a list at all. 

I've got a thing for jewelry at the moment. Especially earrings and rings. Right now I'm crazy about most earrings from Stine A and this ring from Jane Kønig (even though less stones will do too) - it's so, so pretty (and expensive). 

The skirt and sweatshirt are both from my favourite brand at the time, Junarose. And even though white might not be suitable for eating I can see myself wearing this for one of the Christmas parties I'm going to. The face oil is lovely and is on my list because my skin always crave for moisture in the winter.

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?

Welcome to my home - Christmas Edition #2

Bring on December! Advent calendar

Hej derude! Er I klar til at december bliver skudt igang i morgen? Det er jeg og I skal nok få lov til at se lidt af, hvordan mit lille hjem ser ud, når julen er over os. Jeg er gået mere in end jeg plejer i år - jeg har på fornemmelsen, at det skal ses som min overlevelsesstrategi i forhold til en meget hård eksamen, som jeg skal hygge mig med det meste af december. 

Igår var jeg ude og turbo-shoppe en pakkekalender til min kæreste. Da jeg faldt over denne fine julekalender hos Hey Look, så vidste jeg bare, at jeg blev nødt til at lave den og skabe lidt ekstra julestemning. Den pynter fint og jeg er ret sikker på, at jeg får næsten ligeså meget glæde af at kigge på den, som han får ud af åbne den. I skal nok få lov til at se billeder af kalenderen - vil I også gerne se, hvad der er i den?

Da jeg kom hjem kunne jeg ikke lade være med at udbryde, at det altså ville være meget lettere at lave en pakkekalender til en pige. Han så ikke ligefrem overbevist ud - så for at bevise det, så satte jeg mig selv på en prøve: hvor hurtigt kunne jeg mon samle 24 små gaver, som jeg ville blive glad for? Jeg endte med 25 gaver (ja, så god er jeg åbenbart til at tælle...) og det tog mig 26 minutter og 51 sekunder at snuse dem op på nettet. 

Hi everyone! Are you ready for December to begin tomorrow? I am! And I'll let you see what my little home looks like when Christmas is here one of these days. I've gone even more in this year - I guess it's a survival strategy of mine. I have a really tough exam in front of me and it is going to keep me company most of December. To get through it I need A LOT of Christmas happiness. 

Yesterday I went turbo-shopping for an advent calendar for my boyfriend. I stumbled across this beautiful free printable advent calendar at Hey Look and I instantly knew I had to do it! More Christmas spirit please! It looks really nice and I'm almost sure I'll get as much joy out of it just looking at is as he will from opening it. You will get to see pictures of the calendar - do you want to know what's in it too?

Anyway! When I got home I told him that it would have been much easier to do an advent calendar for a girl. He didn't look convinced - so to prove it I put myself to the test; how look would it take to find 24 small gifts that would make me happy? I ended up with 25 gifts (I guess that's how good I am at counting...) and it took me 26 minutes and 51 seconds! 

1. Chokoladelakrids fra Black/Chocolate covered liqourice from Black 2. Fodsalt fra Matas/Foot salt for foot baths from Matas 3.
