Picturespam: Hamburg day 3 & 4

Dag tre og fire i Hamburg var som sådan ikke meget anderledes end de første par dage, men nu var vi jo også taget afsted for at slappe af og hygge. Søndag er det meste, så vidt vi ved, lukket og vi havde ikke vildt meget lyst til at gå på museer, så i stedet gik vi en tur i snevejr og slud rundt om Binnenalster. 

Day three and four in Hamburg wasn't much different than the first two, but then again; we went to Hamburg just to relax and have fun. On Sundays most stores, as far as we know, are closed and we didn't feel like going to museums and stuff like that, so we took a walk around the Binnenalster in the snow.

Efter at have gået rundt om søen tog vi U-bahnen ud til Schanzenviertel igen, for at gå på Herr Max. Igen. Jeg behøver vist ikke at fortælle, at jeg forelskede mig rimelig godt og grundigt i det sted. Der er så hyggeligt og kagerne er af den slags, drømme er lavet af. Hvis du skal til Hamburg, så bliver du altså nødt til at tage forbi! Og vente tålmodigt på et bord, hvis der er kø. Vi var heldige at slippe for kø begge dage vi var der. Heldige kartofler.

After our walk around the lake we took the U-bahn to Schanzenviertel again, to visit Herr Max. Again. Needless to say I fell pretty hard for that place. It's really cosy and the cakes are made of the same stuff that dreams are made of - I swear! If you're going to Hamburg you really need to go! And you have to wait in line too, if they don't have a table for you right away. We were lucky and there were room for us both days.

Og vi gik en del på Mönckebergstraβe, hvor hr. Kæreste stod for det meste af shopperiet, og vi fik kaffe på en hyggelig kaffebar, der hedder Balzac. Nå ja, og så spiste vi lidt mere på Vapiano.

And we walked quite a bit along Mönckebergstraβe, where Mr. Boyfriend took the biggest part in the shopping, and we had coffee at Balzac. And... Oh well.. We ate a bit more at Vapiano.

Vi nåede ikke på Starbucks, hvilket jeg ellers højt og helligt havde lovet mig selv, at jeg ville forbi. Men kaffen på Balzac var mindst ligeså god og stemningen bedre. Til gengæld mødte vi en mand i træet på Vapiano - hr. Kæreste kaldte ham en Ente. Det er et eller andet fra Ringenes Herre, som fløj lidt over mit hovede. Måske jeg snart skulle finde ud af det univers... 

We didn't go to Starbucks even though I promised my self that I would. But the coffee at Balzac could easily compete and the atmosphere was much better. We did however meet an old man in the tree at Vapiano. Mr. Boyfriend said he was an Ent. Something about The Lord of the Rings that I didn't quite follow. Maybe I should try to figure that universe out.

OOTD: 1. Outfit from Hamburg

Jeg synes tit, at jeg ender med at bruge et stykke tøj specielt meget, når jeg rejser. Fordi det passer bedst til omstændighederne - i det her tilfælde var det mit Asos skater-nederdel, som jeg faktisk ikke tog af igen, da jeg først havde haft det på. Bortset fra, når jeg skulle sove og i bad, selvfølgelig. Udover det havde jeg et par jeans med, som bare blev ved og ved og ved med at glide ned, når jeg gik. Og det gjorde vi jo meget. Så nederdelet her var min redning - det bliver bare siddende! Den bordeaux sweater var også perfekt til vejret, der på denne dag faktisk var dejlig mildt. Det var også den dag, hvor vi begge vandrede rundt i Hamburg med feber. Kan det ses?

I often find that I wear one piece of clothing waaay to much when I travel. Because it just fits the surroundings and stuff like that - in this case it was this Asos skater skirt that made my day(s). I actually didn't take it off as soon as I took it out of my suitcase. Well, of course I didn't sleep or shower in it... I also took a pair of jeans with my but they kept sliding down all the time when I was walking - and we walked a lot! So I wore this skirt - and it stayed up! The burgundy jumper was perfect for the weather, which was actually really mild that day. This day we both walked around with fever. Does it show?

Picturespam: Hamburg day 1 & 2

Jeg er næsten på toppen igen, tror jeg. Dog er jeg ikke helt på benene endnu (jeg er stadig sløj og svimmel), men jeg kan da holde ud at sidde op og tænke tanker igen. Og som lovet, vil jeg gerne fortælle jer lidt om weekendens tur til Hamburg - jeg deler det lidt op og her er den første del. Den første dag stod først og fremmest på en lang bustur. Efter den havde vi ikke energi til ret meget andet end at spise aftensmad, gå en smule rundt i byen og så tage hjem igen i ly for de ret hårde frostgrader.

I'm almost back on top again, I think. Not quite back on my feet though (I'm still weak and dizzy), but I'm able to sit and think again. I promised I would tell you about our weekend trip to Hamburg - I'll split it up a bit and here's part one. The first day was mostly about going by bus for a looong time so when we arrived in Hamburg we didn't have much energy for anything but dinner, walking a bit around town and then go back to the hotel to seek shelter from the cold.

Vi spiste aftensmad på Edel Curry, som på et eller andet tidspunkt har fået æren af at lave Tysklands bedste Curry Wurst. Jeg ved ikke om de stadig har æren og jeg kan ikke udtale mig, for så mange karrypølser har jeg alligevel ikke været igennem. Men jeg kan skrive under på, at det er lækkert hos Edel Curry. Også deres chokolademousse. Sidst vi var i Hamburg spiste vi samme sted den første aften - det er hurtigt og nemt og stiller den underlige trang til Curry Wurst, som jeg får, når jeg krydser grænsen til Tyskland.

We had dinner at Edel Curry, who at some point had the titel "Best Curry Wurst in Germany". I don't know if they still hold that title and I can't tell you if it's true, since I haven't had THAT many. But I will say that it's delicious at Edel Curry. The chocolate mousse too. The last time we went to Hamburg we also had dinner at Edel Curry on the first night - it's easy and quick and I stop the instant craving for Curry Wurst I get when I cross the border to Germany.

Vi boede på samme hotel som sidst også - Holiday Inn Express og ligesom sidst var vi meget tilfredse. Personalet er rart, værelserne er fine, morgenmaden er god, der er ikke langt til nærmeste U-bahn. Der er ikke rigtigt noget at sætte en finger på. Bortset fra, at teen på værelset var yderst kedelig. Men i det mindste  var der mulighed for at lave te - og det fik jeg virkelig brug for. Dels fordi det var virkelig koldt at gå rundt i byen, dels fordi vi faktisk blev syge, mens vi var der.

We stayed at the same hotel as last year - Holiday Inn Express and like last time we were very happy with our stay. The staff is nice, the rooms are nice, breakfast is great, the U-Bahn is close by. The only complain could be the boring tea at our room. But at least we could make tea at our room - and I really needed that! Partly because it was very cold walking around town and partly because we actually got sick while we were there.

På dag to shoppede vi blandt andet lidt i nærheden af Europa Passage og tog ud til Schanzenviertel, som mange havde anbefalet mig. Det var et sjovt og charmerende område og jeg blev især glad, da vi gik forbi Herr Max, som jeg havde læst lidt om hos Katha, men havde glemt at notere adressen på. Der var plads til os derinde og vi spiste os glade i god kage. Resten af dagen gik med at tulle rundt i byen og hygge. 

On day two we went shopping around Europa Passage and went to Schanzenviertel that was recommended by many of you. It was a fun and charming area and I was so happy when we walked by Herr Max. I had read about it at Katha's, but I forgot to write the adress down. They had room for us and we had the best cake. It was so good. The rest of the day pretty much passed by just walking around, relaxing and having a good time.

Jeg bliver altid så glad, når jeg går henover en bro, som denne med kælighedslåse. Det er ikke noget vi ser så meget i Danmark, men tanken er da sød. Jeg grinte en del, da jeg så den kæmpe lås - nogen er vist bange for kærligheden går i stykker. Stakkel.

I always feel happy when I walk across a bridge like this with love locks. We don't see much of it in Denmark, but I like the thought. I laughed quite a bit when I saw the giant lock - someone's afraid of Love falling apart? Poor thing.

Nå ja, og så spiste vi på Vapiano. To gange - frokost og aftensmad. Sådan var det også sidst vi var i Tyskland. Vi ender altid en helt masse på Vapiano. Vi kan virkelig godt lide stemningen og maden der. Dejligt.

Jeg vender tilbage med mere Hamburg-snak en af dagene. Hav det godt så længe!

Oh, and we ate at Vapiano. Twice - lunch and dinner. It was like that last we were in Germany too. We always end up at Vapiano. A lot. We really like the feeling and the food there. Lovely. 

I'll return with even more Hamburg-babling one of these days. Take care!

Psst! For my non-Danish readers

I just wanted to let you know that I FINALLY updated my backstage page and translated it into English. It took me too long, but at least now you have the chance, if you want to read a little bit more about me.

Also! If there's anything more you would like to know - please just let me know!

I would love to tell you all about Hamburg...

... but as soon as I got home Monday evening I went to bed and I've hardly been up ever since. The flu is a bitch and I hope I'll feel better soon. The short version of our trip to Hamburg: super cold, super relaxed, super nice.

I'll be back with better Hamburg posts soon! I hope.

POD: Stylish Work Outfit

Så er årets første måned næsten gået og det er mandag, så det betyder at det er tid til månedes Plus Size Outfit Day - hvis du ikke har hørt om konceptet før, så kan du læse mere om det her. Da jeg hørte månedens tema tænkte jeg, at det ikke kunne blive alt for svært at komme op med et stilet arbejds-outfit - jeg arbejder trods alt i en tøjforretning. Men da jeg så kiggede mit skab igennem, blev jeg alligevel overrasket over, hvor meget hverdagstøj jeg har gået i på arbejde på det sidste. Da jeg startede med at stå i butik syntes jeg, at det var alletiders at være pænt klædt på hver gang. Nu er det bare rart med en praktisk sweatshirt - men hvem har egentlig sagt, at det ikke kan være stilet? 

Personligt er jeg ret glad for det her outfit. Jeg mener: Hvem kan ikke lide fred? Neon-detaljerne er ganske vist ret grænseoverskridende for mig, men jeg kan ret godt lide dem. Og så passer det også utroligt godt til "begge" mine jobs. Mit arbejde i butikken er kun et par gange i ugen - alle andre dage er jeg studerende. Perfekt til begge dele. 

The first year of the month has almost gone by and it's Monday which means it's time for the Plus Size Outfit Day - if you haven't heard about the concept before you can read more about it here. When I heard of the theme for this month I thought it wouldn't be too difficult to come up with a stylish outfit for work. I mean... I work in a clothing store. But that was until I took a look in my closet and realized that lately I've been buying casual clothes for casual days (and when I'm at work I need to wear clothes from work obviously). When I started working there I thought it was awesome to be able to dress up every time I went to work. Now, at least sometimes, I think it's really nice to be casual and practical in a comfy sweatshirt. But then again - who says that can't be stylish?

 Personally I really like this outfit. I mean... Who doesn't like peace? And even though the neon details are a new thing for me I really like them. And the outfit fits quite good for "both" of my jobs. My job in the store is just a few hours a week - all other days I' a student. Perfect for both. 

Undskyld for at jeg snakker så meget! Nu må I hellere komme videre og tjekke alle de andre smukke kvinder ud - hvad har de mon på på arbejde? 

I'm sorry for talking so much! You should get going now and check out all the other wonderful ladies - what are they wearing for work?

Getting to know you!

Hej! For noget tid siden svarede jeg på nogle spørgsmål hos Natalie og jeg syntes det var ret hyggeligt. Så jeg tænkte, at jeg lige kunne låne hendes spørgsmål og tilføje lidt ekstra og så krydse fingre for, at nogle af jer har lyst til at svare på dem. Uanset om du har eller ikke har kommenteret på min blog før, så kunne jeg godt tænke mig at høre fra dig. Men jeg kunne især godt tænke mig, at høre fra dig, hvis du læser med og ikke har givet lyd fra dig endnu. Spørgsmålene følger på engelsk nedenfor.
