Designer Forum Copenhagen

Friday I went to a huge Danish sample sale called Designer Forum. It's pretty famous among fashionistas in Copenhagen and thousands of girls and boys had shown up to rummage all the boxes and tables of designer clothing and accessories. I took a few quick pics there with my iPhone, but for the most part I was too busy shopping to take pictures. They had a lovely selection of Wildfox Couture and I tried on almost everything. I fell in love with a gorgeous knit sweater and I'm really regretting not buying it. I did however get a Wilfox hoodie, a tie dye kaftan, and a vintage (antique according to the seller) Indian quilt. I'm overall very happy with my buys but really wish I could get that darn sweater off my mind...

My dream sweater. *cry*

Cute flowery dresses. I wanted two of them but forgot to go back for them.

Fun funky sneaker bags. Very hard to resist.

A wide selection of vintage/antique Indian quilts and pillowcases in beautiful colorful fabrics.

Late night quick pics of my new kaftan.

My Indian quilt. It was hard to pick just one out of the bunch but I loved this color combo of pink, blue, yellow and purple.

My kaftan and Wildfox hoodie.

Bradley Cooper and Me

 

 I love going to the movies and never miss the opportunity to do a little celebrity stalking if it's not too inconvenient, so of course I was there when Bradley Cooper was in Copenhagen to promote his movie Limitless. It was fun too see all the screaming girls lounging at him to get an autograph or a photo. I came completely unprepared for the crowds and photo ops so my pictures didn't turn out that great. I didn't have anything for him to autograph either so I settled for seeing him signing posters for everyone else. Fortunately I'm quite resourceful so I managed to get a poster from his press team and ambush him at the end of the autograph line where I not only got his autograph but also a picture (unfortunately I look like a chubby chipmunk in it). Cooper seemed like a really nice guy and took time signing posters and posing for pictures for a lot of the people there. He was graceful, professional and a lot shorter than I imagined haha. Oh, and he had a nice smile. The movie was actually quite good and it didn't hurt that Cooper had been up on stage presenting it with a couple of funny behind the scenes stories. I filmed it so visit my Flickr if you want to see.

Below are some pictures taken by the Nordisk Film press team. You can find me in the crowds if you look close enough.

Wonderful Copenhagen: Akimbo

Today I have another Copenhagen hidden gem for you, so get ready to drool over the wonderful things I'm about to show you. Today's post is about a store called Akimbo, that is located in the heart of Copenhagen's highstreet area, thus making it easy to find if you know it's there. It's inventory is a mix og new and vintage, jewelry, decor, toys, trinkets, clothes and more. Akimbo is basically a treasure chest of pretty things that can doll up any room and has a definite Parisian flavor to it that I just adore. Any visitor to Copenhagen should add this shop to their must-visit list, and stop by for a chat with the store's lovely owner, Lis.

I love these little pups! They're definitely on my wishlist!

Wonderful Copenhagen: Décor

Today I'm very exited to share another of Copenhagen's hidden gems with you, and this one is a gem indeed. It might even be a diamond if you're a vintage fan like me. Décor is the best vintage shop in Copenhagen in my opinion, and I've been to quite a few. I only recently discovered it thanks to a tip from a friend at work, who took me there a few weeks ago. I was blown away when I entered the shop and beheld the treasures surrounding me in all their glory (yes, that's really how I felt in that moment!). They have everything from clothes, jewelry, handbags, and decor items. I'm currently in love with quite a few things there that are on my birthday wishlist. I bought the loveliest vintage 1930's top that I'll share with you soon. Did I mention that much of the inventory dates back several centuries? I hope you'll take time to visit this place if you're in Copenhagen and need a break from highstreet shopping and want to see something quite unique. For now enjoy these pictures that I snapped for you!
