Summer purchases

Hello readers!
All having a blast enjoying the holidays and warm weather? Well I sure am, at least when it is not raining in Denmark. Nevertheless, I did shop around a bit lately and I found myself some pretty neat things here and there.


My first purchase was a lovely jumpsuit/one piece/pantsuit or whatever you might call it. I was on a trip to Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, and visited Monki. I love Monki because I think their designs are cool and retro but always in a wearable way nowadays. So I got this piece of clothing (not gonna make me say it again, ha!) in a beautiful pattern in black and white. Kind of abstract, almost tribal pattern. I do really enjoy it because it is light to wear and still you don't feel like showing too much. Definitely worth the cash!

Second, I thought to myself that since I am going on vacation near a swimmingpool, I sure needed some new swimwear! So I searched all Zalandos swimwear through, and agreed at last with myself which one to buy. A Ted Baker bikini called something like "Tropical Parrot". Sadly, they did not have my size in stock, but then I just went to Asos and bought it there. I did not now the brand Ted Baker before, but I realize now that it is an amazing brand! Beautiful dresses and accessories in the most amazing prints and patterns! I a fan!
Besides I think that patterns like the parrot pattern you see on the Ted Baker, has gotten really popular! The tropical colours and watery shapes must be very in right now. Which is understandable, since they are absolutely beautiful!



At last, my most expensive purchase this month was a new phone! I have had the same old Sony Ericsson with buttons and all since 7th grade, and figured that it was time for some change.. So I got myself a smartphone!! I am really happy I bought it, because I just love everything about it! I usually don't spend a lot on money on gadgets and stuff, but this phone I am really happy for! And hopefully it will last for a loong time :)

That's all for this week!
Enjoy your holidays and the sun (hopefully) shining!

My wish list

Okay, so I thought I might do something a bit exciting this time: A list! A list of the ten things I want the most in the whole wide world. Here you go: 

1) A boyfriend pillow, just like the one Kurt has in Glee

2) Summer. The weather in Denmark is really crappy and I don't want any more rain or wind. I want summer, sun and cloudless sky.

3) A drivers license 

4) To win a gold medal (preferably at the Olympic Games or the World Championship, but that might be a little out of my league at the moment...)

5) A day of unlimited shopping where I can buy anything without having to pay for it. It's always been a dream of mine, and I'm still hoping it'll come true one day. At the moment I'm counting on marrying a rich, handsome husband who can fund my crazy shopping.

6)  A pair of sunglasses designed for using during exercise. At the moment I am using my regular sunglasses and I seriously look like an idiot...

7) A better discipline so I can study instead of steeping. I'm on study leave at the moment which means I have no classes (but of course exams). Having no classes means that no one is expecting me to be up and about at 8 am in the morning  which results in me sleeping all day and doing no studying. 

8) Beautiful hands. At the moment my hands are all ugly with blisters, calluses and different cuts and bruises. Yeah, rowing makes your hand all nasty. It's absolute rubbish. 

9) To live in Scotland. I went there on a study trip and I fell completely in love with the country. I'm still wondering why I'm not a Scottish girl, or at least English. I think I would be much better Scot than a Dane.

10) aaaand I'm out if wishes... World peace i guess? 

What do you guys want the most? Please comment, I could do with a bit of inspiration for the last one (not that world peace isn't good, it's just so... universal. I mean everybody wants world peace right?)

That's all I have for now, see you next week!

Looooove Christine
