HERE is an old outfit from back in March where I visited Mauritius.
I have had this H&M dress for years but never really used it. Big mistake as it is perfect as a beach dress.

And the sneaks? Oh my, I forgot to bring any sandals to wear on the beach whatsoever. SO annoying! No flip flops, no espadrilles, no nothing. But the sneaks managed the job well.

Plus I am slightly laughing at how burned my knees are. I think I once a looong time ago burned my knees so bad, that they actually do not cope with sun well at all now. That is why you should all remember your sunscreen, kids!

Today I am heading for the movies with my mama and grandma to watch The Great Gatsby. Have a great sunday!

PARIS was great. Honestly, it always is. As I've lived there and experienced just how amazing Parisian weather can be in April, the only disappointing thing about my trip this time around was the weather. It was cold as hell! 

Anyways, I don't know whether you find this interesting or not, but I thought I would take you through our days there. Sometimes I feel like I know central Paris like the back of my hand, so maybe you would find it fun to hear what I did.

DAY 1: First stop: Chanel on Rue Cambon. It's honestly my favorite store to visit in Paris because of the history surrounding it. Afterwards we took a stroll on Rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré and Rue Saint-Honoré. We always go up till we reach the Christian Louboutin store in number 68 and down till we reach the other Christian Louboutin store on 19 Rue Jean-Jacques Rosseau. We had lunch at Ladurée on Rue Royale. The food is not that great, but I just love Ladurée and the surroundings. 

DAY 2: Sundays in Paris I almost always spend in Marais, as all the stores are open there. There I will always take a stroll down the following streets: Rue du Temple, Rue Vieille du Temple, Rue Rosiers and Rue des Francs Bourgeois, that ends in Place des Vosgês, which is stunning. There we visited the Maison de Victor Hugo, from where you get a stunning view over the square. Afterwards we went to Chamsp-Elysée. I am actually not very fond of Champs-Elysée and only ever go there because they have some of the biggest high-street flagship stores. 

DAY 3: First stop: Avenue Montaigne - one of the most stunning streets in Paris, where you will find more luxury stores. Afterwards we had a drink in the Tuilleries and went to the L'Orangerie to see Claude Monet's famous waterlilies. I never tire of them - they are so beautiful! The afternoon was spend on the left bank, and we had lunch at Café de Flore. 

DAY 4: Started with an haute couture exhibition at Hôtel de Ville. If you have a trip planned to Paris soon, you should definitely check it out. It was beautiful! Afterwards we wanted to visit Musée Pompidou, but I had forgotten that they're closed on Tuesdays. Buhu! Instead we went to Rue Rosiers, where they have the best falafel in town, that my mother had to try. On a Sunday in the Maris, the line for the falafel can go all the way down the street. I tell you, guys, do not leave Paris without trying on of them. Afterwards a quick stop at the Village Royal for a coffee before we had to fly home

+++ Almost every day we had breakfast at the Village Royal, one of the famous Costes cafés. The breakfast was exquisite. One of my favorite cafés for breakfast and lunch in Paris, definitely. Plus hotel breakfasts are super overrated. Specially in Paris!


I hope that you maybe found some inspiration for your next trip. 

BISOUS!

THESE are the last pictures from Mauritius. I promise! But look at that golf course that was part of our hotel.
I don't golf, but looking at a field like that I must admit I almost decided to try it out.

Today has been spend chilling with my parents and delicious lunch.
I have a habit of forgetting contact lenses AND glasses when I take a weekend of at the beach house, and as I am seriously blind without them we had to drive a little while to find a new cheap pair of glasses. Ah, now I can see again!

NOW: Exam writing. Public communication campaigns anyone? I am finding my concentration is right now at a very low point. I would much rather watch TV or enjoy the sun, but isn't it always like that?

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

MORE BEAUTIFUL nature from Mauritius. We went quad biking in a beautiful nature reserve.

Today has so far consisted of school. Soon I am going to work, and later I will party all night long. 

BISOUS!

MORE FROM stunning Mauritius. Aah, what a beach. Also incredible how the color of the sea changed 10 times or more during the day depending on the sun and the sky.

Today we're celebrating my mother's birthday yet again with brunch. 
BISOUS!

ON A COLD, although very sunny, day in Copenhagen, I find it fitting to show you some more pictures from stunning and warm Mauritius. 
The Heritage Telfair Resort was truly beautiful. I could very well spend another week there. And the fruit? I mean, I pretty much die inside when I eat pineapple in Denmark. 

Today I had a very short workday, followed by a coffee date with my dear mother, and now I am studying. No easter break just yet. But later I am meeting some of my oldest friends for sushi. Not too bad for a Monday, I'd say.

 BISOUS!

HERE IS a litle glimt of what has been happening in my life as of late via instagram:

1. I've been working and felt very creative when I created a smart calendar in Excel. 2. My grandma fell and hit her hip, so when she returned at home after a few days at the hospital, I visited her with a post Valentine's Day cake. 
3. My favorite snack as of late is vanilla skyr with bananas and crunch. I don't know if you have skyr where you live, but this yogurt is the best I've ever come across. 4. Every friday night I have my make up done for work. Christ, those lashes are crazy!
5. We had a few days of real spring in Copenhagen right before I left for my vacation. 6. The weather was so good I even had to have my door open in my room during the day. I have to tell you though that my room is pretty extreme - it's even hot in here today when the temperature outside is below 0!
7. I borrowed my mom's new bag from Reed Krakof. Beautiful, right? 8. And it matched my Coca Cola stash. Have I ever told you that I am real Coca-holic?
9. I flew towards warmer weather on Mauritius with Emirates. I am always super exited to fly long flights because of the movies selection. But I always end up being to tired to concentrate on a serious movie - on the long flights I had to take on this trip I for example ended up watching a One Direction and a Katy Perry documentary. I know, I know, but they were actually quite interesting. 10. Looook at that beach!
11. Tanning time! 12. I wish we had palm trees in Denmark!
13. We were actually on Mauritius at the end of their rain season, so we also experienced some rain, and as you may know rain in the tropics can be extreme. 14. I got addicted to Mauritian vanilla tea. Bought a stash with me back home as well, of course! I big packet for under 2$. Crazy!
15. After a trip in a nature reserve (picture at another time), my favorite Nike sneaks were so dirty, the hotel personnel offered to clean them. This was what returned to me - a sole that was way too small. 16. More beautiful beach!
17. Look at the contrast between Mauritius and where I am now. I can't believe that it is still snowing in late March! 18. Today I went to the Museum of Modern Art, Louisiana, with my dad to see an exhibition on Pop Art (pretty good if you're thinking about going) and lunch at one of my favorite restaurant, Restaurant Sletten. 

Right now I really should study before I meet up a friend for dinner. CIAO!
