Mirelle bags at Kolonihaven - Copenhagen

It has been a hectic week...I left last Sunday for Copenhagen, I spent 3 days there working, working and working and walking, walking, walking. And ...I also manage to get in touch with Christel who runs a beautiful shop in Copenhagen city center, called Kolonihaven. The shop sells almost everything you think of...but what I like the most of it is that it has a great style (see the red and white stripes on the floor, I love them!), it sells clothes, earings, bags, ceramics and much more by different Danish designers ... and it is so old-style!!
The great news is that from this month until the end of April my bags - Mirelle www.mirelle.org - will be on sale there!
Thank you Christel for making this possible!!
The address is  Skoubogade 5 (one street away from Stroget, the main pedestrain and shopping  street) and the website www.kolonihaven.com.
If you happen to be in Copenhagen....don t miss it!

RosenbergCph - 100% organic & Danish

After coming across the latest prints and items from Denmark-based RosenbergCph, I was smitten. Exploring their entire catalog of bed linens, pillows, and bags, you’ll see beautiful patterns that are printed onto 100% organically grown cotton and made locally in Denmark..yes, I do have a weakness for Denmark

Copehagen cycles chic - ever thought how fashionable cycling can be?

 

Copenhagen is the most bike friendly I know about in Europe. Everyone- and I do mean everyone- goes by bike here. So no wonder someone thought of making a blog collecting beautiful pics of people going by bike.
The blog is called Copenhagen Cycle Chic. It's fab! I read it on a daily basis since I discovered it marvelling at impossibly chic ladies riding bikes and looking amazing. Many in high heels....

Anyway if you want to marvel at impossibly chic people riding bikes go have a look- it's great.

Butik NØ - Copenhagen

I came back from Copenhagen 3 days and until now  I haven't had a minute to post some pics on my blog (tooooooo bad).
On my very last day in Copenhagen I jumped - totally by chance - in this beautiful shop run by an interesting young lady. She sells the most impressive things like the diamond lamp bulb you can see in one of the pics above, curtains made of plastic caps, ...and almost everything a girl would love. The shop is located in Larsbjørnsstræde 22, 1454 København. It is worth paying a visit!

Kolonihaven - Copenhagen

I am  in Copenhagen right now and today I have  discovered this charming and colorful shop called Kolonihaven (The allotment). It's located in a basement store in the center, and this is where a group of Danish designers have gone together and opened a store where they sell their designs. The names behind Kolonihaven are Christel Mayland, Lsjat Blaa, Slynglen and Kallemaiu. Most of the items are made entirely or partially by organic materials and some of the items are even made out of recycled products. Stop by and have a look.

Normann, Copenhagen

Normann Copenhagen is one of my Danish design favorites. The recent new products, with simple yet intriguing names such as Moon, Drop and Fusion, are the usual mix of stylish form and clever function with a small dose of humor. The latest series of products have been designed with the help of Herbert Krenchel, Matthias Demacker, Odoardo Fioravanti, Rikke Hagen and Jakob Helberg.
Take a look below at some of my favourites from the new additions to Normann Copenhagen’s already impressive line-up of products.

Normann is located in Østerbrogade 70 2100 København, Danimarca but has also an online shop at http://shop.normann-copenhagen.com/eu.aspx

Jannie Baltzer- Extraordinary Couture Headpieces

Head ornaments can be traced back to the ancient Greeks. The diadem was the forerunner of the tiara (‘Dadein’ meaning to bind around) and the word tiara is actually of Persian origin.  Decorative headpieces have been worn by women all over the world since immemorial time.


Jannie Baltzer is nowadays the person to turn to if you are looking for contemporary, unique, hand-made headpieces.

 and American websites like
 http://www.stylemepretty.com/, http://www.greenweddingshoes.com/ and http://www.weddingchicks/
are praising her wonderful creations!

Jannie is based in Copehagen where she designs her own collections.

Her story as designer and "head-artist" began, when Jannie searched to find the headpiece she had always imagined for her own wedding. It proved to be a difficult search, and therefore Jannie decided to design her own collection.
For her creations she uses luxurious materials such as French lace, silk, Swarovski crystals, ostrich feathers, glass beads, mother of pearls and vintage findings.
Have a look at the pictures below....

I have never met Jannie in person but we have exchanged some emails..and I must say she is really adorable!

P.S. The model of Jannie's headpieces is my beautiful friend Selina Juul to whom I dedicated a post a few days ago (Selina, you are stunning!)
