On Starting the Day
This morning I woke up in: My bed in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen
Coffee or Matcha: Always a black americano, with nothing in it.
Favourite RUE ORGANISÉ product and why? I use the personal planner! I love that all the sections are so relevant to my life from planning to wellness and even styling and design. I also use the morning journal and I love that I can upload images and the introspection prompts are a helpful tool.
My morning routine looks like:
Waking up as late as possible (really a B girl), drinking my turmeric then coffee. Quick getting ready (the outfit, of course, can take some time) and bicycling to university.
My style influences
My style influences are Ofc the iconic Carrie Bradshaw, her 90 and 00 looks are so iconic and her shoes are to die for!
I’m just really into the classic '90s looks at the moment. People at the street in cph are also a big styling influence.
I'm looking forward to
I’m looking forward to trying an internship and studying abroad. Learning new design skills from different cultures and work experience with people I look up to.
Challenging me right now
Figuring out what I want to do with my degree. I’m studying different spectrum of design, and it’s hard to figure out which way I wanner go. I just want to do it all!!
Most grateful for right now
I am most grateful for my family and friends! Don’t know what to do without them! And they are my happy space! (Sounds corny, I know haha)
I would tell my younger self
Stop holding back. I was quite shy when I was younger, so there were many things I didn’t put myself through, because it was easier to say no. But now I really regret I didn’t just tried them out and saw where they might have take me.
24 Hours in Copenhangen
Start off with breakfast: at Original Coffee at the lakeside, their coffee, granola and bread with cheese is the best.
Then I love to just walk around in the city, the streets in Copenhagen are beautiful, specially the area Vesterbro and Nørrebro: both area have somewhat raw and beautiful sides, which’s you can see though the architecture of the buildings, the unique shops and the people.
We of course also have to visit the famous amusement park, Tivoli.
For lunch I would take the ferry that sails through the canal and out to Refshaleøen. There are delicious street food from all over the world and beautiful surroundings with the canal and the city center in front of you.
For dinner and late evening fun I would go to my favourite spot in Copenhagen, the meat district for dinner. Here there are plenty of different restaurant to choose from, my personal favourite is a Italian restaurant name Mother, here they serve the best pizza in town and some really good red wine.
For late night fun the meat district is also a favourite of mine because there is a lot of outside bars and good clubs! So you can stay here for the rest of the night!
