POSTCARD FROM PARIS

ASOS SHIRT / REISS PANTS / &OTHERSTORIES FLATS / JW. ANDERSON BAG

As a blogger, or well anyone with a computer really, you are most likely to at some point have experienced a laptop crash (been there), hard-drive failing (been there twice) or camera memory cards refusing to come back to life (stopped counting). These things have happened to me to such an extent, that I don’t allow myself to get upset about it anymore. It takes an unsettling amount of energy, which will not help towards the damage controlling that inevitably has to follow. However, when it happens to be from my first trip to Paris, I must admit it stings a bit. Ice cream will have to be a big part of the healing process as all photos went lost with a failing memory card, but all good, 'cause this will have to mean more trips to Paris, right? 

Before it gave up completely, I managed to import four photos (four!), three of which this post features - all taken by the lovely Abi from Abimarvel. I will cling to these and my instagram photos and hope you excuse the vague visual representation in this post!

HAVE AN AMAZING START TO THE WEEKEND

A's to the Q's

SO SORRY FOR FILMING THIS IN TWO LOTS, GUYS, THIS WAS A LOT HARDER THAN I THOUGHT.

So here it is. My first vlog on my own. Maybe it's because I'm quite new at it (please take this into consideration when watching), but gosh that was time consuming and a lot harder than first assumed - respect to all of you cool people doing vlogs!

As I didn't get to answer all questions in the vlog, I thought I'd just add some of the questions below and elaborate on some of my answers below.

-

WHAT ARE YOUR DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE?

Besides becoming a power ranger, I'd like to study arts and design. I've not quite decided on what specifically I'd like to go in to, but all my creativity is being put in to a portfolio at the moment.

HOW AND WHEN DID YOU START BLOGGING?

I started blogging during the second year of high school (2.g) just before New Year's Eve, as I felt like starting up a new project. A friend had shortly before introduced me to the term, which was all new to me and I just thought, why not? :)

FAVORITE HAIR PRODUCTS?

Ocean spray by Maria Nila, Hair (un)dressing creme by Bumble and Bumble, Wella's hair sprays. I shampoo and condition with whatever product, that will do the job.

WHAT DO YOU DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?

Take photos, enjoy friends and family, eat nachos, brush my hair and last but not least, sleep. :)

WHO INSPIRES YOU?

Tamu McPhearson, Susie Bubble and people who don't compromise their optimism. Magazines: BON, i-D and Oyster Magazine.

LOTS OF LOVE

NOTTING HILL

SUPERTRASH SWEATSHIRT

75 FAUBOURG JEANS

BILLI BI SHOES

JW. ANDERSON X NIKON1 BAG

MONOL WATCH

This week I had my first trip ever to Notting Hill. Yes, a part of me was indeed wishing to see Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts hand in hand on a corner. I met up with the lovely Natasha, who showed me around. There were many ooh's and aah's and it took quite a bit of effort to suppress my inner oh-so-eager-tourist.
Let me just praise something here, something I owe a great debt to. Stretchy jeans. Let me tell you, this creation of pure awesomeness is for everyone! My high appreciation probably comes from my enormous need to feel comfortable all 24 hours of the day. If I'm feeling uncomfortable in something, I will squeak, and let's just get this clear, that's just right out annoying. So, with everyone's best interest in mind, I choose my jeans and outfits carefully, and these 75 Faubourg jeans from Harvey Nichols are getting 5 stars in stretchy-lovelyness. Plus, they've got a metallic finish. Yes, I might have a thing for sci-fi, but I'll say it again, who doesn't like a bit of robo-action?

ALSO GUYS, IT WOULD BE SO SUPERBLY AWESOME IF YOU'D VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE SUPERTRASH LOOK ON FASHIOLISTA ( WHERE I STYLED THIS SHIRT ) AND ENTER THE COMPETITION OF WINNING A €500 SHOPPING SPREE!

HOPE YOUR DAY'S BEEN GREAT!

Fall Garden Outfit

Hiya lovelies,
Here's the outfit I was wearing in my mini-editorial :) The cape was a fabulous find at a charity shop, the hat is by Monki, shorts, shirt and laced t-shirt is vintage, socks H&M and Head over Heels shoes. It's truly so lovely weather in Denmark at the moment. It's impossible not to be over-smiling all the time! Have a lovely weekend!

Her er lige et ordentligt billede af det tøj, jeg havde på til min mini mode-serie. Alt er vintage undtagen hatten, som er fra Monki, skoene fra Head over Heels og sokkerne fra H&M. Hav en rigtig dejlig weekend! :)

Victoria's Secret darling, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, is featured in a new book (comes out tomorrow!!) Ten Times Rosie by Rankin. What to expect? Beautiful iconic pictures such as the one above. Personally, I can't wait to see the content inside this book - the top photo left me wanting more.

Sorry that the blog is low on look posts, I've got a lot on my mind, but can't wait to return with some photos for you!

SUPERTRASH LOAFERS

Just a quick post from here hoping you're all enjoying your Sunday!

Mine started out with me falling up the stairs, resulting in my breakfast cereals going everywhere including in my face. That'll wake you up, I'll tell you!

How gorgeous are these bow loafers from SuperTrash? My heart is melting whenever I look at them, and the only thing I regret, is not taking them to Paris fashion week, but that'll just have to be next time.

ALSO! I've been selected by SuperTrash to style an outfit from their current collection and be in the Style Off Blogger Battle going on at Fashiolista! If you vote for your favorite look (me or one of the other gorgeous bloggers right here), you have a chance to win a €500 SuperTrash shopping spree!

How amazing is it, that we've passed 700 readers through google?!! I'm so, so excited!! I feel like celebrating, but I have no idea how. I had pancakes for dinner, and for now that will do. :) An outfit from the other day, when I went out with the girls to a flea market in town. I've had this metallic skirt for ages, but not quite known how to style it. This sweater completed it for me. I hope you are happy and well!
Ih, hvor er jeg bare glad lige nu! Bloggen har passeret de 700 læsere via google friendconnect!! Jeg får helt lyst til at fejre, men kan ikke komme i tanke om hvordan. Jeg fik pandekager til aftensmad, så det må række for nu. :) Her er et outfit fra forleden dag, da jeg mødtes med de andre blogger piger til loppemarked i byen. Håber I har det skønt!

Mikaela

CITY BREAK

TOPSHOP JACKET / WAREHOUSE SKORT / OFFICE SHOES / GRAFEA BACKPACK / ASOS SUNNIES / FOLLI FOLLIE BRACELET

Oh, that lovely London air of energy and electricity there is during the fashion week. It's such an exciting time, and having followed it by going to Paris afterwards was simply a magical touch to this whole fashion week month! I'm so excited for next years' fashion weeks already - might need to catch up on some sleep beforehand though (sleep, what?!).

I'm back put at home again, with new projects on the table to dig into when Monday comes. It's such an exciting time, and I feel so incredibly lucky to have all of you following along with me. You guys are amazing!

HOPE YOUR WEEKEND HAS BEEN BEYOND WONDERFUL

FRAMBOISE PASSION

IT'S TIME FOR SOME RASPBERRY CAKE!

DOUGH:

100g MARGARINE

150g FLOUR

1/2 EGG

2tbsp SUGAR

and on top goes of course:

+ 300g RASPBERRIES

and extra SUGAR

Mix the margarine in the flour with a knife (sounds weird, but it's lots of fun). Add sugar and egg and lightly mix the dough with your hands. Let the dough rest for half an hour and put the  dough into a buttered tart form and poke the dough with a fork. Bake it for 10 minutes at 200c until it's lightly baked. Take the cake out and add raspberries and sprinkle some sugar on top and bake it for another 10 minutes.

10 minutes later: munch, munch, munch.

Oh. And don't forget whipped cream.

- LET'S TALK -SUSTAINABLE BEAUTY

Let's talk beauty. 

It's a bit of a taboo to speak openly about the fact that we all age and along with our youth-addicted-society comes an increasing wish not to. I'm 20 with only a few dimples to count as wrinkles, so you might ask, why on earth I'd bring a subject like this up. Well over summer, being reunited with a television again at mum and dad's, it came to my attention, that the pursuit of beauty and a youthful appearance through unnatural means such as botox is increasing and the consumers are getting younger and younger. Honestly, I was mortified.

I'd like to think, that when wrinkles start appearing on my face, they'll be a souvenir of the fact that I have and am living my life, and didn't conceal my emotions. However, it's far from everyone who feel this way, and I feel it important to try and bring awareness to alternative methods in keeping a healthy and youthful appearance, no matter what age you are.

Just after my surgery in January, I got to know Violetta Jepsen, who has become an incredibly dear friend to me. She practices craniosacral therapy which has helped me in my recovery, but she is also the Danish representative for Revitonica - a natural method alternative to botox with visually proven effects on achieving or maintaining a youthful appearance. She herself describes it as face-fitness - exercises you get taught so you can keep your face in shape. She showed me befores and afters of her clients, and these beautiful girls and women were all transformed in the way, they themselves wished to be. All the areas, where they could have turned to botox, but instead chose to go with a method, they could maintain themselves naturally.

And to outline my message guys, don't panic ever. You're beautiful the way you are.

LOTS OF LOVE

SARAH MIKAELA
