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!

Illustrations and toys from Ingela Arrhenius

I really love the simple and colorful style of Swedish illustrator Ingela Arrhenius. Sweden is my neighbor country so it's good to see that work as good as this is being produced there. Ingela mainly makes toys and children's book illustrations as far as I can tell. Her work is delightful and reminds me of my own childhood and all my little Pixie books (Danish book brand). See more of Ingela's work and read about her adventures on her cute blog.

Customize with Tokidoki

I really love Tokidoki. It’s become a little more mainstream than it used to be, but that doesn’t make the designs less appealing. I like the colors and the clutter in the designs. There’s always lots to look at and new details to be found. So I was pleasantly surprised to see these laptop and Iphone GelaSkins on the UrbanRetro website, as well as other cute items. I'm seriously considering buying this set for my Mac and my iPhone.
