Rise and shine Los Angeles! I’m back, jetlagged as f*** and been up and running since 6 am. This last trip to Copenhagen was to say my final goodbyes to my beautiful and beloved grandmother, who passed away recently. I will not go into details about how it felt or was, but let me just state for the record that it was an out of body experience in the worst possible way. Yet the most beautiful and elegant funeral one could possibly wish for. And in her spirit this is
Am I ready to go back to Europe again and say goodbye? I don’t know… Certain things are to hazy to make a clear decision about and I guess that is ok. After all, we are only humans and I know I’m just trying to do my best. Perhaps it’s not always good enough, but at least I try everyday. Last night in LA, but I’m back in less than a week. At least for a few days before I head off to NYC. Enjoy Thanksgiving where ever you are.
A little over a week has passed since my book party in Beverly Hills with Douek & Jones and I am still not close to rested. It still feels like I’m riding a petit, scrawny bicycle that is roped to a runaway train. Pretty intense. And it has now been confirmed that there will be another and larger party in NYC on December 5th. Details to come. Guest list is quite spectacular and it’s arranged together with Canon and Willoughby’s on 5th Avenue. On a more personal level I have
Awaiting my cab to the venue. No make-up in leahter shorts, t-shirt and long coat. The book made it to it’s own party only 1 hour prior to the doors opened. Gosh I was stressed out! Gift bags…. All dolled up in Douek & Jones leather dress and makeup&hair by Kat Lieberkind Movie star, Karl Lagerfeld muse and fashionista Bai Ling arrives at my party…. TV star, singer and songwriter Marisa Lauren came by… 🙂 Designer Nina Morgan Jones for Douek & Jones plus friends and I at the red
Weekend is here, but to me that doesn’t make a huge difference. Sometimes I think my life is a bit opposite ‘the norm’ meaning that I usually work during weekends and I go out (and work) during the other weekdays. Like last Tuesday where I went to the opening of the new club Rendez-Vous in Beverly Hills. Grand openings are usually fun since everybody is dressing to the nines and an electricity of curiosity and excitement fills the venue. Last Tuesday was no different. However, I loved it even more
A/W’11 show: Dolce & Gabbana. Pic: wwd.com As much as I love being a woman and feminine, I have a thing for the boy-ish look. I think it is extremely sexy and strong to go ‘Marlene Dietrich’ and add something masculine to your look. Be it a suit, an attitude and or your makeup. I’m not a big fan of ‘do-it-yourself-guides’, but Lisa Eldrigde’s makeup guide caught my attention. It is a very easy step-by-step video on how to create a specific look. Lisa Eldrigde shows tons of different trends.
I woke up this morning after another restless night of tossing and turning. Nightmares and vivid dreams made me feel like I’d done an Iron Man in my sleep. Funnily the first impulse when I opened my eyes was that I was going to start the Master Cleanse today. After 9 days of NYC fashion week, My friend’s wedding, parties and work I felt a bit out of it. I daresay that NYC made me her bitch and I was bending over and paying the price for all the debauchery.
”People are where they are because that is exactly where they really want to be”. A quote by E. Nightingale that I was mentioned in on Twitter the other day. Indeed a provoking thought when you contemplate it. Are you really where you want to be in your life? Am I? If not, why are we here then and not where we deeply desire to be? Perhaps we are too lazy, or afraid of change and all the possibilities and new unexplored grounds and challenges we would have to face
Once upon a time in a city far, far away called New York two people were so madly in love that they decided to say their wows. They invited all their best friends and family and threw a gigantic party that lasted 3 whole days and 3 whole nights just like in the fairy tales. And just like in the fairy tales the bride looked more stunning than the most beautiful princess in the whole wide world. All the other women at the party were in awe of her beauty
Almost done with the layout of my book. At this point I’ve become so good at working with text and pictures in Photoshop that I’m sure I could get a gig where I layout books for other authors in case I run out of acting jobs he he.. 😉 Anyways, tonight is ‘Fashion Night Out’ in LA and I’m hosting this event in Intermix on Robertson Blvd in Beverly Hills. It will be nice with some distraction from my nerdy ‘book worm’ world. And today’s cool factor is that photos
