Leaving for London

... only for a few days though! Writing this post from the airport on my way to London – this time I've brought my camera, so I'm planning on finding some great spots and taking some nice picture while getting to know the city a bit more. If you have any great London tips or places I simply must go, please leave a comment! :)

25 Free Romantic Fonts

Some time ago I came across these amazing 25 free romantic fonts, selected and posted by A Subtle Revelry, and since we're in the season of love (spring right!?) I thought it was a perfect share! Perfect to write a beautiful (almost handwritten) letter to a person you like or if you just need a specific font for your project! I've copied the links from the original post below the image! Enjoy!

New in – Black stilettos

On my visit to & Other Stories last week I totally fell in love with these half-open/half-closed stilettos in a rough matte black leather with a square heel. Even though I love classics, somehow I always end up buying items that are a bit off or different, but I just couldn't resist! Maybe I should take a picture of me wearing them so you can see them in action! I'll get back with that!

Kartell Book by Taschen

I have a lot of different Kartell products in my home, including various lamps, a kaleidoscopic-ish footstool and the classic Componibili modular storage system (which appears to be the top selling Kartell product in Denmark.. who knew), but I actually never really thought about the Kartell history and how far it goes back, until the brand in collaboration with Taschen made this new book on their entire design legacy starting back in 1949! If you, like me, are interested in digging deeper in a great design company and see how they've managed to grow and evolve over time, but still achieves to stay true to their original design spirit and concept, you should definitely have a look at this book!

Retro brass lamp

My mom and grandmother collects a lot of old things and sell them on various flea markets – yesterday she called me to tell that she had been given an old lamp from the 70's in a warm brass color from one of her neighbors and thought that I might me interested! I was, so now I'm just trying to figure out where to hang it – even though I'm really not into the retro style I think it's a great add on to the rest of the style in my apartment and goes well with all the greys and pastel colors I have... What do you think!?

Book design – Taxi Economy

I realized that I rarely show what I – more or less – spend all of my time doing; graphic design. Since I have a lot of different projects, my portfolio is very wide, but one of my latest projects was this bookdesign job, including the cover design, illustrations and overall text setup, for a danish business book explaining the overall economy through the taxi-industry.

Frederik Roijé Magazine rack

I totally love these magazine racks by Frederik Roijé; simple, functional and decorative at the same time. As I am the biggest magazine-o-holic ever my entire apartment is filled with magazines; on the floor, on tables, in the windows, on bookshelfs.. you name it, so I would love to display some of the most decorative magazine covers on a rack like this. I would probably go with a classic black or white one, but they're available in a lot of great colors.
You can buy the beautiful racks HERE (and by the way check out the rest of his great work!)

&otherstories

So, last week I finally got to fo visit the store everyone's been talking about lately – & other stories – and I loved it! Besides a lot of cool, nordic and very minimalistic clothes and accessories they also have a wide (I really mean WIDE) range of beauty products with the most amazing packaging design! I wanted to buy every single product from all the collections, but ended up with these two – a lovely Fig body scrub and a Cherry body lotion, both in amazing "I-want-to-eat-you" pastel colors! Visit the store in real life or online HERE (if you dare!). The concept and the atmosphere of the brand is amazing!

5 year anniversary

Today I'm celebration a 5 year anniversary. It's probably been one my longest relationships till this date. There's been ups and down's, in periods our relationship has been close and in others it hasn't been very consistent and have lacked both motivation and inspiration – a few times I've even considered leaving – end the relationship and start all over with someone new, fresh and more exciting. But I stayed, and I can't believe that 5 years has gone by so fast. Yes, today it's been exactly five years since I on the 2nd of april 2008 – as a twenty-one year old student – wrote my first post on this blog! Back then it was so exciting for me to have my own "channel" to the world and to be able to share my inspiration with strangers, and even though I had fallen for a lot of great blogs already back then, blogging wasn't as common and popular as it is today! Maybe, in five years from now, I will celebrate my 10 year anniversary with this blog! Who knows!
