Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 4:20PM My friend Kate recently blogged about friendship bracelets. It inspired me to share my newest wish. I am falling in love with humanity bracelets. I suppose it would be too much to get more than one... pfft.

Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 3:46PM Seems that Denmark may have been ahead of the times with the period series, Matador. It was aired from 1979 - 1981, 24 episodes in total. It is about a small Danish town and the series takes place from 1929 - 1947 and gives great insight into Danish history during this time and how society as I recognize it was founded (okay that may be giving it a lot of props but I am obsessed).
Kate you would not be disappointed with the fashion. Loads of it! The only problem is because the show is old I'm struggling to find good pictures on Google. Do any Danish friends know where I could get some more? Specifically I am looking for a picture of the Varnæs' front door. Sounds ridiculous but I find it to be SO chic.
I am only at 1935, about 10 episodes in. Things are already changing quite a bit! It's all in Danish, and 'old Danish' at that so I am still watching with English subtitles but I think it's still helping my Danish a bit. If nothing else for the cultural bit. If I have any brave friends/family who are into foreign film (each episode is kind of a mini movie) I will see about how to get you in possession of a few episodes! :)
It's the perfect fix for the sans Mad Men winter break!

Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 4:36PM Even though it was a week late, my hubby did not disappoint on my Valentine’s gift! Check out my new beauty:
This piece of art is from Octopus is a Danish accessories design line. I’m obsessed with their bright, beautiful leathers and unique construction. I think my next Octopus piece will be one of their studded belts. Maybe a purse if I save up like a good little girl.
Girls, this is reason #47 marrying a European man is a great idea, he understands the importance of accessories! :P haha. Love you babe!

danish style, designer, fashion in fashion Wednesday, August 26, 2009 at 10:50AM I think I’ve officially accepted the fact that fall is on its way, despite 90 degree temperatures outside. Fall clothes and close toed shoes dominate the shelves and Starbucks has brought out the pumpkin bread.
But we can’t fight it, so might as well embrace it. Or let a scarf embrace you…
I got excited looking at scarves, I mean I am pretty much going to be Danish soon, at which point scarves will start going out of my neck. But until then I’ll have to buy them. Here are some uber cute and budget friendly scarves I’m digging for the fall season.
$24.50 at Gap.com
I’d look even cuter with a plain cotton shirt with a wool mini and patterned tights… but then Jillian thinks – I don’t wear mini skirts but I can certainly improvise.
$50.00 at BananaRepublic.com
Hi, wear me on the weekend with a pair of dark jeans and make sure to wear me like the model is below! Love itttt.

Going back to school (for my MBA clearly) and rocking a scarf from my favorite Danish designer. Going to wear my glasses with this cutie for sure.
$18.00 at Etsy.com
Supporting small business America. This designer knows how to keep the fall looking fresh after labor day.
Happy up and coming fall season :)
