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.

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!
