The Boyfriend had to...

go downtown to buy some pants and stuff and I went with him. I was unleashed in H&M for 5 minutes and came out with this totebag, which apparently is from the Lanvin-thing, which I didn't realize 'til I came home.

I also bought these lip gloss, because one said Red and the other said Gold on their label, which I assumed would be their actual color or that they would atleast have a hint of red or gold in them. I was dissapointed when I found out that the labels indicated the color of the casing... like you couldn't see which color it was?? Very misguiding!

Then I tried them on and they have an overly sweet smell to them. I know the Boyfriend will refuse to kiss me while wearing them!!

I guess they'll be used as part of a christmas decoration...

Ok, I've now had the lip gloss on for a while and my lips are actually starting to itch...!!!

Not recommendable!!

After a long walk...

in the freezing cold, we headed home for a hot cup of chocolate with whipped cream.

I got this cute christmas cup from my sister last year, and I know it'll be overly used this December. Love the candy cane handle!

Today was also the first day of advent.

We've always received a present from our parents on the four sundays prior to Christmas, and eventhough we're far from kids anymore, we still get them - which is to be enjoyed, cause as soon as they get grandchildren we'll soon be forgotten.

Todays present was the traditional 'scratch-a-square-a-day-and-you-might-win-money'-calender. A very loved thing in our family, although we've never won much. The other thing is the substitute for the ever-so-boring chocolate calender we always got as kids. Such an upgrade: marzipan balls covered with chocolate and a sugar shell. Loves!!

I'm a lil sleepy...

from our walk on the beach today.

They're building some kind of promenade in the richer part of the city, and we took a walk out there today to see how far it had got.

With the snow covering most, it wasn't easy to see the progress, but since it's not slated to be done till 2011, I guess there's no need to rush.

So we went up in the newly made park, where I've only driven by, but never walked, before.

It looked very nice, and I'll definitely be stopping by when spring emerges.

Pigs...

in a blanket.

Made a batch of these as I'll be home alone all weekend and working mostly.

On such weekends I prefer to have these in the fridge, ready for a quick warm up and then washed down with mustard. Yeah, you read it right - I looove mustard. Right now I'm going thru a Whiskey mustard a friend gave me a while ago, and it is soo good!

(for the too-literate-for-my-own-good reader I have to mention that I don't actually drink the mustard, I just use the phrase 'wash it down' to imply that I eat a whole lot of mustard with the piggies.)

I think the picture...

says it all...

We finally got snow. After hearing everybody else in our tiny country complain, for quite a few days, about the white blanket of snow covering everything, we've experienced a bit of it today.

Now I surely hope that it will continue all day, then I will gladly go out and shovel the sidewalks and courtyard throughout the day.

There are two...

reasons I'm not buying these pretty shoes from H&M:

1. Saving my money for CPH

2. They have a 12cm/4.7in heels.

I wish I could, but I cant.

A movie I'm...

looking forward to watch is Love and Other Drugs with Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal. Here's Jake talking about it on Letterman.




And the trailer.



It has a pinch of sappiness to it, but other than that it seems fun... and sexy.

I got this mail...

about H&M just updating their New In with party clothes and went to check it out.

This red shirt is real pretty, and is a missed color in my closet.

One of the dresses was this one, which looks chic, except from the middle sewline, but it could be covered up with the following belt.

These bracelets would complement the dress too.

I'm not often into the whole 'having a lil indoor jacket over a dress', but this one would probably look great over the...

classic long dress, which was also found in black, but I thought this color to be more interesting.

Overall some good pieces, but I'm saving money for my CPH trip in December, where I might also be able to try these pieces on.

Are you guys as...

over the Lanvin thing as I am? To tell you the truth I was never really into it in the first place, since I didn't know a thing about Lanvin before H&M brought up the collaboration and then when the collection was unveiled I was not really in awe. Especially not with those prices!

Therefore it gives me great pleasure to find out that the master designer that is Karl Lagerfeld is going to design a collection for Macy's, which is to be sold in September 2011 in 250 stores and online... the sad thing is that Macy's doesn't ship outside the US. (Luckily some of us have connections overthere...)

When going on a...

blog round, I found these shoes at infashionwetrust.blogspot.com. They're Kate shoes from Nelly.com and they have them in black, brown and then this grey. If i buy them it'll be the grey, since I have the H&M version with a lil heel in brown and I have plenty of other shoes and boots in black. They are priced at 259DKK.

I also browsed through their shoe sale, and found these for 99DKK...

It would be a coup to buy 2 pair of shoes for under 400DKK. Still just considering since I'll be going to Copenhagen for s shoppingtrip in early December.
