Candlelight cups!

I have made candlelights in vintage cups for the shop… It was a lot more difficult and messy that I had thought so I don’t think  I’m going to make them again. Happy weekend all!

A tragicomic experience…

I have been wearing this skirt for quite some time now,.. then I suddenly realized  that it’s actually a poncho.

Because of my profession I felt quite stupid not being able to see that, -but at the same time I’m just happy with my new piece of clothing.

Ribbons in rainbow colours…

I don’t sell materials for sewing in my shop, but I have often been asked by customers wanting to buy plain ribbons by the meter. I have enormously amounts of ribbons lying around in stock so I figured; why not?

Of course ever since I hung them out there for sale a few weeks ago, no one has noticed or asked for it :)  -Looks pretty tough….

La photocabine!

This is fun!… If you want to have your own photo-booth-action, go visit this site: laphotocabine.com…

What Cecilie wore this week…

This is Cecilie! -she lives in Copenhagen and writes the blog “Bakerby”. I only know Cecilie through blog-world, but found her perfect to do a fashion-post . If you like Cecilies style you should definitely visit her blog for more…

By the way; I’m still looking for contestants for these “what-I-wore-posts”, please send me an e-mail if you are interested or if you have other suggestions!

Bird decorations…

One of my small projects during last week…. Recognize the beads?

Beads…

Japanese magazines…

I stumbled upon these Japanese magazines from 2005 in my bookshelf today, -what a confidence boost! -I didn’t have a blog at the time they were published so I’ve never showed you (-or did I?). Better late that sorry -isn’t that what they say?

What Sigga wore this week…

Ever since I started doing these “weeks-of-fashion” I have been looking forward to showing you my sister and her fabulous style!

Remember how I told you about how much we look alike?… Check out Siggas belly on these pictures, -it’s exactly as as big as mine :) if things goes as planned we are gonna have babies with two days in between, I’m going to be a mum and an aunt at the very same time -how lucky can you be?

Sigga and her husband have four shops in Copenhagen all called “Rude” which is their last name.  If you like Siggas chick style click here to visit her web-shop or even better; if you live in Copenhagen -stop by one of her “real-live” shops.

Advent calender

As I mentioned a few days ago I sell many gifts in my shop, and these days I can really fell Christmas is getting nearer, people buy small gifts for advent-calenders…

The girls that works in my shop came up with the idea to make advent-calender-solutions specially customized for the customer. Now you come into the shop and order a calender for your, mom, girlfriend, sister or yourself. You just have to tell us a little bit about the person to receive the calender; how old they are, their favourite colour and so on… then we create a calender with 24 nicely-wrapped gifts and you don’t have to run around town for presents all November!

There are two calender-prizes; one for 498kr and a bigger one for 898kr (Danish kroner)

Stomach update…

Oh my god is this really me? -I don’t think my belly looks that big in real life… I was kind of shocked when I saw myself on these pictures…

Birthday cards

I have made cupcake and ice-cream birthday-cards for my shop… I sell many gifts every day and I thought this might be a good idea…

They say stuff like; Congratulations and hurray hurray! not that inventive -i know, but I couldn’t think of any thing clever, any ideas? It doesn’t have to be in Danish.

Winter mood…

It’s freeezing in Denmark… I went out the door this morning and instantly decided to go shopping for a warm winter jacket with room enough for a big belly.

All I really feel like these days are my warm bed, croissants and coffee.

What Stefan wore this week…

This hip guy is my father in law. Stefan surprisingly volunteered to participate on a “What I wore”-post I find that very cool!

You don’t have to be a twenty year old model to be a fashion victim on this blog, you just gotta have the X-factor!

Happy weekend everyone!

Shop photos…

Green hat…

Leather gloves

My shop is now ready for Winter season. I think I’m going for yellow gloves this year… They don’t have to match the rest of my Winter outfit, actually that might be the whole point of it.

Have a great Sunday everyone. I’m gonna spend the rest of mine with my phone switched off watching old “James Bond movies”

Candy

I never use to eat candy before I got pregnant, at least not that much. Now it´s a different story I just can´t get enough….

Stomach update…

I’m really taking advantage of not having to take pictures of what I wear every day any more… I have lived in these jeans for over a week now! -and the sad thing is, I don’t even fell like wearing any thing else.

It’s not that my stomach is that big yet (actually nobody who doesn’t already know I’m pregnant have noticed anything) but these pants are just so so comfy. My little stomach does already feel gigantic to me though :)… Well, I guess this one picture counts for an “What I wore this week” update…

Have to go now -I’ll get back to comment answering tomorrow.

Pancakes for breakfast

I woke up to a big pile of pancakes this morning :) Don’t you just love pancakes?

What Lea wore this week!

This is Lea!

Lea is my brothers girlfriend and has become a very good friend of mine. She makes fantastic graphic art which is displayed in my shop and on her blog and she actually introduced me to the world of blogging!

Lea has a very beautiful and feminine style inspired by the fifties, she always wears a skirt and is fond of vintage shirts with pretty patterns and colours. She has a talent for finding all the secret second-hand treasures before anyone else and I’m proud to say; she often wears “Brinja” clothes. I’m truly glad she agreed to show a week of her outfits -to me they are divine.

Lea’s blog!

Hi all, I’m back!

Thank you for all the nice comments!

Anders and I have spend our vacation week in Berlin, I didn’t bring my camera so I’m sorry to say; I don’t have evidence.  It would have been very hard not to blog if had brought it so it was intentional.

Our trip was great, lots of walking, eating, talking, coffee drinking, laughing, reading, writing and shopping.

Our friend Kristian doesn’t live in Berlin any more but we met up with Niller who was there for a congress and a guy called Jan who we know from Copenhagen, he recently moved to Berlin  to study. -You will all see a lot more to Jan later on; he agreed to feature as a”what I wore” guest star!

If things goes as planned this weeks fashion star will be posted tomorrow so stay tuned!

Fall-vacation-blog-break

This week is fall-vacation-time in Denmark, mostly that goes for school children and therefore also their teachers (witch includes Anders). And because Anders is of duty; I have treated myself with some time of from the shop. Meanwhile the wonderful Lea is taking good care of Brinja Kbh.

To really relax and escape from everyday life for a while, I have decided to also take a little blog vacation! Not for long -just this week out… I’m surely gonna miss you.

I made these medal-brooches during this Weekend while watching “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies.  Oh, how I love adventures.

Making brooches

What Zora wore this week…

This little fashion princess is five years old and lives with her family in Mexico City (far away from cold Denmark)

Zora has been a loyal follower of the fashion posts here on the blog for quite a while and has now got a well deserved chance to be fashionista of the Week.

As you can probably see Zora loves fashion, but also she likes to dance and swim. Some of Zoras clothes are made by her grandma but besides this she shops at “mum to mum sales”, consignment shops and the shop “Zara”.

I am completely in love with the Wednesday ballerina look; could it be any cuter? -I would totally wear it myself if I could. And how about the Friday Hollywood-star-look I can’t stop smiling when I look at it :)

Zora doesn’t have her own blog (yet), but you can go here to see Zoras mum’s blog.

Thank you Zora for this wonderful participation on my blog!

Ps. If you want to show your wardrobe for a week, or if you have any other good ideas, send me an e-mail and let me know.

Weekend time

These last couple of days has flown by with no time to blog at all. I’ve had so many good things done this Week; a lot of organizing and planning for the shop, I’ve seen friends and family that I haven’t seen for while, I’ve tidied up at home,  I’ve got laundry done and I even baked buns yesterday.

I’ll be back soon with pictures of “what-the-guest-star-of -this-week-wore”  I’ts gonna be great :)

Thursday…

The miniature-blackboard-wall is new. I think you’ve seen the rest before.

I did some unintentional moving around the furnitures (real life! -not mini-world) again last Weekend -I never plan to do so, but it seems to happen pretty often anyway :) -All I intended to do was move a single painting or something like that -then the next thing I know everything around it looks a bit wrong and of course I have to move that to.

Anders usually comes home laughing and shaking his head at all these silly projects I’ve got going. -Unfortunately now I have to ask him for help, after being pregnant and therefore not allowed to lift heavy furniture…

Anyway, the point is; I have new work to do in the miniature home.

Happy Thursday everyone!
