Prada designer outlet near Florence

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 18 Jul 2014 20:18:00 +0000

This is for real....!

If you ever have the option to visit Florence you should take time to go visit the luxury designer outlet "the Mall". It's located in the beautiful Toscan hills and it's great to spend a grey rainy day there. It's not cheap but you can get final bargains like Stella McCatney fake snake skin pumps for 89 Euro that was 389 Euro before or Lanvin ballerinas for girls for 62 Euro that was around 175 Euro before. They are adorable...good thing they are too big for my daughter....

Believe it or not I didn't buy one thing during my visit. I tried lots of things on but didn't find the correct size or prices were still to high. It didn't help that my husband was there as well. He is good at reminding me if I really need the item!

Had I been there with my sister we could have easily shopped a lot...we inspire each other...

The outlet has shops from Burberry, Tom Ford, Gucci, Prada, Bottega Venetta, Lanvin, McQueen, Stella McCartney, Fendi and many more. Check it out...

Luxury design is a treat...

Summer is making us all feel good and what is nicer to wear yellow in the park...

The pj trousers are from Zara Kids, t-shirt from Gap and trainers from Notting Hill kids shop Petit Aime and final glitter gold ballerinas from John Lewis..

It's my wedding anniversary today, 7 years...and guess what was delivered this morning just in time...?

Isabel Marant sweatshirt

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 04 Jul 2014 07:33:00 +0000

I had a Sunday on my own and did a feel good shopping trip in Wimbledon village. I ended up in Matches and found the sweatshirt I have been looking for, since last year.

I wanted a soft inside and a great fit and this one is perfect. I will wear it with a skirt or jeans and for an evening out I will wear it with my Navy colour satin pyjama trousers from Lanvin and some nice high heel sandals.

Fujiyama is Japanese and one of my favourite countries.

Perfect outfit for a Danish summer night out with family and friends in one of the many new outdoor bars in Copenhagen. I heard "din nye ven" is a nice new hotspot bar for a drink Friday night.

I can't wait to go to DK in August to hang out with friends and family.

What is your summer bar outfit?

Tuscany hills holiday weekend

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 23 Jun 2014 19:42:00 +0000

Our friends invited us to their amazing beautiful wedding in the hills of Tuscany. We took advantage of the invite and added a few more days and made it a small child free long holiday weekend.

My wardrobe was split between my sparkly party clothes and high heels and comfortable relaxing holiday pieces.

I made a small selection of the relaxing pieces that I loved the most...

Starting from the left, lime green coloured kaftan from Scoop, silver grey bathing suit from danish designer Camilla Staerk both bought when I lived in NYC.

Next from the top is my IPad cover and next to that my makeup bag both from Vanessa Bruno. My new silver braided sandals from Liberty and to the right my grey fold up Mulberry clutch. Last in the bottom right corner is a loose fitted jersey dress from Tu..

Overall this gave me a perfect day by the pool and a dinner out eating amazing Italian food.

Just to top of this post this is where we stayed...

View from the hotel

View from the pool of the hotel and wedding venue

By the pool...couldn't have done it with out my paraben free Avene sun lotion, Chloe sun glasses and a fashion magazine...

When was the last time you spend a day by the pool?

Hopefully it will not be years for any of us...

Karl Lagerfeld vintage dress

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 20 Jun 2014 07:11:00 +0000

Summer is here in London and what's better than celebrating it by wearing my sleeveless printed pleated summer dress from Karl Lagerfeld. It's an old show piece that I bought from a model in New York years ago at a fleamarket at the Soho Grand hotel. I love the print and fit is very comfortable. I wore it with my flat black ballerinas and my canvas tote bag from Vanessa Bruno.

Happy summer dressing everyone.

Is summer where you are?

Summer reading 2014

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 07:16:00 +0000

It's time for the beach and spending more time in the garden or the park. Having a toddler doesn't allow you much time to read in the house but for some reason it's ok when we are out doors.

I filtered through my book shelf and pulled these books out which I'm thinking reading again. Some of them are from the time I lived in New York and some are British purchased in London.

Books below are from the top:

1. Eat Pray Love, easy feel good read bought in London

2. The Brooklyn Follies, bought in New York

3. Until I find you, bought in New York

4. Dog book, bought in London for dog lovers

5. Sophie Dahl and her light weight writing, bought in London

6. Truth and Beauty, sister love bought in London

7. Summer and the city, teenage love bought in an age depressed moment in London

8. Linda McCartney bio, bought in London

It's an ambitious long list but hope to get some nice memoirs from living abroad and then hopefully next time I'm in Copenhagen I will stock up on my Danish books.

Any suggestions?

What are you reading for the summer?

Zara pastel colour block shirt

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 07 Jun 2014 18:30:00 +0000

I love mixing hight street brands with designer brands. This week I wore my Zara pastel colour block shirt in 100% silk, which I think is a great buy, and I have worn this many times.

I wore it with my light pink Acne jeans and L.K. Bennett suede pumps and got lots of compliments.

I'm hoping for warmer weather here in London soon, summer is almost here here and I want to get my skirts and sandals out...

Colour blocking is still a trend so dont be afraid to wear it, it's fun and looks great.

Do you have a colour blocking piece to wear?

COS White summer skirt

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 31 May 2014 07:38:00 +0000

White classic long pencil skirt from Cos is my new summer hero. It goes with anything and yesterday I wore it with a bright colour Orange GAP t-shirt and Sand colour suede pumps from LK Bennett.

I also think it will look great with a nice button silk or cotton shirt. Let's see how it goes when I choose to wear it next.

The skirt is from COS's last years summer collection and this will be part of my summer collection for many summers.

Do you have a summer skirt hero?

Marie-Laure Chamorel snake bracelet

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 26 May 2014 20:11:00 +0000

My best owned piece of jewellery besides my wedding ring is this Marie-Laure Chamorel bracelet.

My sister Charlotte gave it to me for my 40th, (not too long ago), and I love it.

It has small gold plated snake heads with red stones inserted. I miss my sister when I wear it. Living in London and she is in Copenhagen is not easy but she will always be my soulmate.

Lots of sister love to you.

Have you told your family you love them lately?

Acne pastel pink jeans

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 01 May 2014 20:24:00 +0000

Acne is one of my favourite jean brands, and my pastel pink colour ones are just perfect for spring. I wore them to work today together with a long classic white shirt, new flats from Liberty and my loved Joseph navy colour blazer.

Pastel colours makes me happy and they bring a spring feeling even in the rain. I'm slowly getting ready for summer but it always rains in London, so keeping my hopes for summer and sun off a bit longer...

I love H&M. It's great value for money. This princess t shirt was a must have and makes a perfect princess out fit with a tulle skirt.

Who doesn't want to feel royal and special? At least just for one day...

The tulle skirt is from Le Petit tom from a shop on Kings road in Chelsea. Kings road offers lots of great shopping for kids and mums...

Chloe dress look a like passed down by my mum

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 15 Apr 2014 19:46:00 +0000

Today I'm wearing my mums dress from her incredible 80's wardrobe. When I go home to visit my parents, I try to sneak one or two things from my mum's closet into my bag. She has great taste and how amazing, that I can wear it now.

My last mummy scoop was this beige colour raw silk shirt dress, which got me many comments at work today. Some actually thought it looked like a Chloe dress from a few seasons ago. Plain and timeless...

I wanted to wear heels at work, so I changed from black flats to my classic L.K.Bennett sand colour suede pumps, once I got to the office. I actually felt super smart and comfortable in this outfit... ready to concquer the world adding my black Mulberry leather biker jacket and Vanessa Bruno sequin canvas bag..

Mums are priceless, have you looked in your mum's closet lately?

I love mine and greatful for her and her effortless taste in fashion.

Love you mum,

Balenciaga leather bracelet

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 12 Apr 2014 19:27:00 +0000

Balenciaga is a dream couture house and one of my favourite. One of their classic recognisable design is the stud bracelet. The fashion house started using the stud on their leather goods years ago and it's now even on headbands, wallets, bracelets (like mine) and shoes. Thank you Banleciaga I'm a big fan...

I got my bracelet over a year ago during a Paris trip, and I must admit, I haven't worn it much having a toddler. To me this bracelet is to much a statement for the playground!

I prefer to wear this out for business and look a bit too cool for school...

A Balenciaga bracelet gives a woman attitude and a bit of rock and roll look. What a brilliant design detail, priceless...(for the design house)

Attitude can be cool and feminine, go get yours...

COS kids denim and stripes

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 07 Apr 2014 13:53:00 +0000

This summer Blue outfit was simply irresistible when I shopped at COS a few weeks ago.

Denim trouser and cotton striped long sleeve t shirt

My daughter is over the moon and wanted to help me out with this post, and she liked dressing up again. We used the hat to make it more sunny looking, now that the weather got cold and rainy again.

The few accessories to go with the outfit are matching Blue hair bands, colourful dot socks and Nike running trainers. The trainers are from Inger Rosa our 3 year old cousin in Denmark, thanks IR...

Hopefully then sun will come back soon. We have more cool summer outfits coming just need a bit more sunlight for our pictures...

Have you started your summer shopping yet? It's never too late to start...stay tuned for more soon...

They are so comfortable, and perfect for work, shopping and running around with a toddler.
