Location: I live in Copenhagen, but I spend as much time as possible in Paris. One day I will move permanently to Paris. That city is the love of my life, and I feel really alive and happy in Paris.

Favorite Designers: There are many, but Marc Jacobs has my love. I adore his clothes, and I love that he also designs all the fun stuff:  key chains, cheap T-shirts etc. I recently meet him in Paris, and he was very kind and cute!
I’m a big fan of Alexander Wang as well, I love the stylish rock’n’roll look he sports.

Which city would you max out your credit card in? I have to admit that I have done it more than once, and my choice is Paris. It’s a big mix of great designers and cool vintage, and a lot of high street stores like Zara, H&M. I love walking up and down Avenue Montaigne and visit all the Dior, Chanel, and other big designer shops. It’s so high class, and having lunch at L`Avenue completes the experience! By metro 10 minutes later, I’m in Marais where all the cool vintages and small funny stores are located.

Favorite Store: My favorite store is  APPARTMENT in St. Regnegade in Copenhagen. Fantastic shop, where the owner Malene has both the feminine and raw look. APPARTMENT has both expensive and cheap brands, brands from USA, Paris and Scandinavia. It all comes together in this beautiful shop with a cool decor.

What is your advice when it comes to dressing up: If you have doubts GO BLACK! Tight skinny jeans, black top, black cool jacket and super high heels is always cool! Sometimes when you are going to an event where you have to put on a dress, it’s often the accessories that makes the outfit. Beautiful earrings, shoes etc. are often more important than the dress itself.

Who do you think is the most stylish person on Earth: There are SO many stylish people right now, and one of them is French actress and model Josephine De La Baume. She is feminine, but in a very fashion-leather-casual kind of way. She is also the new body/face of Agent Provocateur. And I love her red hair. I wish could have red hair!

Motto: ”Giving up doesn’t always mean that you are weak, sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go”.

Who is the most inspiring person to you? The fictive character of Carrie Bradshaw! She is fun, cool, deep, dreaming. One hell of a personality! I think every girl wants to be Carrie at some point. Each time I have watched an episode of Sex and the city, I’m so inspired by all the girls!
