Fresh Water (for everybody)

Matt Damon co-founded the charity water.org to provide clean water and sanitation to people who don't have access to it around the world. Want to make a gesture? Just buy a bottle.
And even if you don't, let's all make an effort to stop using one plastic bottle of Evian a day because day by day we are slowly destroying the planet....




The bottles that I really like are the WATER BOBBLES. Just put tap water in and it will get filtered right away!



Bobbles. Bottle. $6 
You can buy them online on the American Apparel website

WaouW Denmark!

Now that I have talked about Oh Land, I feel that I have to talk about my favorite Danes shoe designer. Camilla Skovgaard. Her shoes are all about contrast, and I love it!










Oh Land...

I just cannot stop listening to her music.... Oh Land or should I say Nanna Øland Fabricius is from Denmark. What you have to know about her: She was a dancer but because of an injury was forced to stop and instead started writing music, her mother was an opera singer and her dad a musician. Her electro pop music is just what you need to listen to on your way to work! 




Oh Land. Sun of a Gun

The Cold Bites....

My hands tend to look like crocodile skin because of this freezing weather....and I do not intend to turn them into a fancy bag (yet). My lips are in no better condition. At this stage, Chapsticks and l'Occitane hand creams are definitely not going to cut it. The best remedy to extremely dry skin is the 'Eight Hour Cream' of Elizabeth Arden.

My advice: It is greasy so try to put the cream on your hands right before going to bed. And you'll have baby hands the next morning!

Elizabeth Arden. 8 Hour. Intense Moisturizing Cream. $19


Elizabeth Arden. Lipbalm. $19

Hand Treatment + Skin Treatment + Lipbalm = $46


Stay Warm and Keep Your Skin Moisturized!!!!

What Would Life be Without Bubbles?!

When I celebrate something I love to open a bottle of Bubbly and I know for a fact that a lot of us do...It's the sound champagne cork popping, the pretty champagne flutes, the sound of the champagne flowing in the glasses. It's all these details that remind us of happy moments. Now tell me how much more fun would it be to have it in a super stylish bottle?! According to me: Plenty!!!

 Jean Paul Gaultier designed these bottles for Piper Heidsieck 

It is the perfect bottle to celebrate the next big event 
(the birthday of your goldfish will do ;-)

2012....

Usually I start thinking about my resolutions around Xmas, I write them down on a piece of paper that I know I am going to lose, and by the 1st of January I don't even want to remember them. What if this year I actually made an effort at becoming a better person by achieving feasible resolutions....
My solution: to find a cute notebook (that always helps ;-) , to write them down and to try to get around following them, and even if I fail after a week, to keep on trying instead of pushing them off to next year.
What do you think?

There are 45 pages (that's a lot of resolutions to keep) or maybe we should achieve one resolution at a time. I mean, how hard can it be to make 45 things that are going to make us a better person?! Answer: Probably impossible...but why not trying?!

Reading Time

Hey Girls, I am so sorry I didn't give you any news but all the wifi spots refused to work so I enjoyed the snow for a week. Not checking up your emails for a week is at the same time frightening and very enjoyable. I am now back in New York, NY and I am going to share with you a book that I love and that I've read once again while on vacation... I've read this book countless times (maybe 6 or 7 times, but who's counting ;-) Having read most of the books written by this author, Paige Toon, I can tell you without a hesitation that this one is her best. It is super girly (don't expect anything intellectual) but it will take your mind off of everything!

Paige Toon. Chasing Daisy

Synopsis: "If you fall too fast, you just might crash...Daisy has been dumped, unceremoniously jilted. Not by any ordinary guy, no...Daisy has a secret in her past that she won't even tell her best friend, Holly. She's given up on men - and on her own family. But life still has to be lived and where better to recover than as far away from home as possible. Grabbing a chance to see the world, Daisy packs her bags and joins the team catering to the world's highest-paid, supercharged racing drivers on the Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit. From Brazil to Italy, from Melbourne to Monte Carlo, life passes in a dizzying whirlwind. But nothing - and no one - can stop Daisy from falling again...this time for a man who is prepared to risk his life, and his heart, for the sake of speed, danger and ultimate success."
