Style This Dress

Jeg skal til bryllup på lørdag, så har valgt at tage outfittet til venstre på!

Going to a wedding this saturday, and I'm probably going to wear the left outfit!

So Much For Diversity

Alexander Wang F/W

Rodarte F/W 2014 - MM6 F/W 2014

I'm going to write this in one language only, as I can't be bothered to translate the entire text. I apologise beforehand for coming off ranty, but watching NYFW go by has made me realise one thing:

There really does seem to exist only one skin tone.

Now, one would think that in 2k14 we would be better at this, especially at NYFW, given that we keep celebrating NYC for being so diverse. But even though there definitely are POC featured on the runway, there still seem to be a definite majority of white models featured. 

I am tired of the excuses that people keep spouting around me. "Oh, fashion is colour blind, they're just going after the prettiest/the one with the best walk" To hell, fashion is colour blind. No one is (and, might I add, no one should be).

If fashion is so colour blind, as people keep saying, then why is it that 82,7% of all the runway spots for NYFW last year went to white girls? (source)

In the same article that I just attributed, Naomi Campbell mentioned that "When I started modeling in '86 there was Asians, blacks, whites, Indians, Chinese. It was very diverse". 

This might just be a product of the stereotype "white girls are rich - black people poor", but it's certainly not helping. It is sick that we live in a world where we actually have to applaud designers for having POC, as if they're doing some extraordinarily good deed, and were there are specific blogs (x, x, x). On one hand it is wonderful that these things exist on the internet, but why does it have to be necessary?

Why can't we just have Calvin Klein show where we see beautiful people from all over the world that don't all have the same eurocentric looks? Why can't we simply have some black models that aren't picture perfect. If Lindsey Wixson was black, do you really believe she would be celebrated for her quirky looks? Of course not. Flaws are in, but only if you're white. If you're black, indian, chinese or any of there like, your skin colour counts as a flaw, and one that must be ignored and compensated for with a small nose, ethereal bone structure and the like.

Tommaso de Benedictis for Gucci SS14

Åh jeg elsker tumblr nogle gange. Det første billede for Gucci's SS14 kollektion er lige blevet udgivet, og så huskede alle vist lige at Tommaso de Benedictis jo egentlig ser ret godt ud. 

Nå ja, og så er kollektionen da heller ikke værst, vel? Personligt kan jeg godt lide blomsterprintet og deres farvepallette!

Hvis du gik glip af showet sidste år, kan du se (eller gense) det her.

Oh how I sometimes love tumblr. The first picture for the SS14 campaign by Gucci was just released, and I think we all suddenly remembered that Tommaso de Benedictis is pretty good-looking. 

And the collection isn't half-bad either, right? Personally, I love the floral prints and the chosen colour palette! If you missed the show last year, you can watch (or re-watch) it here.

Skirt Mania

NYE skirts by themajoritysays featuring white tops

Jeg har længe elsket nederdele, men her på det sidste er jeg blevet helt tosset med dem! Her er tre outfits med 3 nederdele, hvor jeg har nogle der ligner.
Jeg overvejer det første outfit til nytårsaften; Normalt gør jeg ikke så meget ud af det, da vi for det meste fejrer med familie og venner.

I have always loved skirts, but lately I've been a total skirt maniac! Here are 3 outfits with 3 skirts that I (almost) own. 
I'm considering the first one for New Years Eve; Usually I don't dress up too much, as we celebrate with a few friends and family.

That Hair

t-shirt - H&M / skirt - primark / necklace - DIY

Eftersom det er hundrede gange lettere at sætte sit hår op i en hestehale med glat hår, og generelt bare lettere at danse når det ikke er kruset og flyver til alle sider, glattede jeg mit hår pga. vores skole musicalen. I weekenden fik jeg besøg af min fætter og hans kæreste, så han inviterede til frokost på Hard Rock Café og så gik vi på Strøget og spiste chokolade vaffler! 

Since it's a hundred times easier to put your hair in a ponytail when it's straight, and just generally easier to dance when it's not curly and doesn't fly to all sides, I straightened my hair because of our school musical. In the weekend my cousin from Austria and his girlfriend visited, so he invited me to eat lunch at the Hard Rock Café in Copenhagen, and then we went to Strøget and eat waffles!

Happy Birthday Kid

Dress - H&M / Cardigan - Urban Outfitters / Ring - Accessorize / Beanie - Local Heroes Store

I lørdags havde jeg fødselsdag, og den holdt jeg med sleepover i fredags. Om lørdagen holdt jeg så familie fødselsdag, og samlet alle mine gaver ind, hehe. Jeg fik en masse smykker, men jeg fik også denne dejlige cardigan, beanie og en tegnemappe. Er superglad for alle mine gaver, og min mor havde også lavet den lækreste Bounty kage!

Last Saturday I turned 15, and I celebrated with a sleep-over on friday. Saturday I held family birthday, and got all my presents. I got a lot of jewellery, but also this lovely cardigan, the beanie and a drawing folder. I am so happy for all my presents, and my mom also made the most delicious Bounty cake!

Oh So Tired

Please ignore my disgusting stomach.

Har projektuge og er så så så træt af alting. Lyspunkt: Fødselsdag på lørdag, og jeg inviterer pigerne over på fredag så der er ansagt sleepover! Håber virkelig bare jeg kan få denne her uge overstået! Indtil da vil jeg blive ved med at glo på tumblr iført mine sweatpants og sweater.

We have project week in school and I'm just so tired of everything. Good thing: My birthday's on saturday and I'm inviting over the girls on friday, so it's sleepover time! Hopefully that'll cheer my up when the week's finally over. Until then I'll keep sitting in the same position for 3 hours in front of tumblr, wearing sweatpants and a sweater.

When I'm Rich: Winter Wants

If I Hadn't Been Sick

Jeg har følt mig lidt halvsyg den sidste uge, og nu hvor der er efterårsferie ser det ikke ud til at jeg gør andet end at ligge i min seng, lytte til musik og se diverse serier (især nu hvor The Walking Dead & American Horror Story er kommet tilbage!). Havde jeg ikke ligget og haft medlidenhed med mig selv, så ville jeg højst sandsynligt tage en runde om Lyngby Sø og påføre mig disse outfits.

I've been feeling sick the past week, and now that I've got vacation, I'm not doing anything else than laying in my bed, listening to music and watching tv shows (especially now that The Walking Dead & American Horror Story have returned!). If I hadn't been laying around and feeling sorry for myself, I'd probably take a walk to the lake and dressing in these outfits.

ich liebe berlin

sweater, necklace, skirt - primark / thights - h&m

Jeg er hjemme! Pakket med ritter sport, poser under øjnene og 5 kg tungere end jeg var i mandags -jeg er hjemme. Det har været en helt fantastisk uge hvor vi både har fået set muren og stasi museét, men også haft tid til at gå rundt og shoppe. Jeg skal være ærlig og sige at det jeg købte mest af var mad -der er bare så meget af det i byen! Og så virker 2 euro* for et stk. pizza baguette lidt for billigt til at man kan lade være.

Jeg er pisse træt og det kan ses på billederne, men kunne altså ikke lade være med at fremvise min dejlige nye sweater og halskæde, hehe.

I'm home! Packed with ritter sport, bags under my eyes and 5 kg heavier than I was monday -I'm home. It's been a fantastic week where we've seen the wall and the stasi museum, but also had time to walk around town and go shopping. I'm going to have to be honest and say that I bought way too much food -there is just so much food in that town! And 2 euro* for a pizza baguette is just too cheap to ignore.

I'm so tired and it's clear in the pictures, but I couldn't resist showing off my new sweater and necklace, hehe.

*14 kroner, 3$

Fashun

Efteråret er ikke engang startet og jeg kan allerede ikke holde kulden ud!

Autumn has barely begun, and I'm already freezing to death!

AM

top - moms old one / jeans - h&m

I dag havde jeg min første praktikdag hos Clausen & Co., et grafisk design firma. Turen derhen var lidt lang (en time med offentlig transport), men resten af dagen gik fantastisk, og jeg glæder mig til resten af ugen! 

I dag var også første gang jeg havde min nye halskæde på. Arctic Monkeys udgiver i dag deres nye album "AM", og så var det jo meget passende at dette diy dukkede op. Jeg lavede faktisk to, en i guld, og en kortere i sølv. De er ikke perfekte, men siden de halvvejs lykkedes har jeg fået lyst til at lave flere (ikke samme design selvfølgelig)! Ønsk mig held og lykke!

Today was my first day as a part of an intern week at Clausen & Co., a graphic design company. It was a long trip (about an hour), but the rest of the day was amazing! 

Today was also the first day with my new necklace. Arctic Monkeys are releasing their new album "AM" today, so I decided to make this diy. I actually made two, one in gold, and a shorter one in silver. They're not perfect, but since they turned out O.K, I want to make more (but with a different design). Wish me luck!

thursday swim

Var for første gang i laaang tid i svømmehallen med en af mine veninder. Det er nok mindst et år siden jeg sidst var i svømmehallen, og det var egentlig ret dejligt at komme tilbage i vandet. Nå ja, og så blev mit hår helt krøllet.

Jeg ved ikke hvorfor mit smil ser så creepy ud på billederne, haha.

Last time I was swimming was at least a year ago, so it was nice to get back last thursday. Went swimming with a friend, and my hair went all curly. Not sure why my smile looks so creepy in these pictures, haha.

space buns!

Noget jeg havde set ofte på tumblr, men aldrig havde regnet med ville virke i virkeligheden. Er faktisk ok-glad for resultatet, hvilket er meget heldigt eftersom der var foto-dag i dag. Sidste officielle klassebillede, og så er det af sted til gymnasiet! 

Og ja, jeg kan godt mærke vi er begyndt i 9. på den omgang lektier vi får hver dag.

back to school

first day back at school. oh, isn't that just wonderful?

jeans from only - top from h&m

yelp, i'm not ready for my last school year!

off to diy!

dress bought at camden market last year - lipstick by catrice

My room still needs so much improvement! I'm going out shopping now, so I hope I can get somethings at a crafts store.

In case you were wondering why I look so tired, I did not get my "beauty sleep" today. Meh. 

summer sandals

Jeg har fået nye sko! Nærmere sagt: sandaler! Det første par er fra Aldo, det andet fra en eller anden lille skobutik i en sidegade. Jeg er meget tilfreds og er ret glad for at det nederste par er så behageligt at gå i!

simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance

Jeg er så umådelig skoletræt at det ikke er til at holde ud. Hvilket jo egentligt passer meget fint, for der sidste skoledag på fredag. I dag var der sportsdag, i morgen er det oprydningsdag og på fredag får vi karakterer (noget inden i mig dør langsomt ved tanken).

På den lyse side skal jeg på tirsdag til Oxford, så mine forældre kan ikke tænke alt for længe over mit karakterblad. 

I går prøvede jeg for første gang min nye cykel, og nu er jeg lidt ked over det, at jeg ikke kan tage den med. Nå ja, den ville måske være lidt mærkelig at have med på sprogrejse.

3 looks: denim dress

Overvejer det første look til i morgen hvor vi holder blå mandag/tirsdag.
