This is a season to be jolly!




Oh well! What can I do? I’m a Christmas freak! I Looove Christmas! This is my favourite time of the year (excluding summer vacation). I don’t stress and I enjoy everything about Christmas. And because it is almost December 1st I bought today my lovely tree. J and I went for our morning jogging near the water and after a fantastic breakfast with cereals and berries (very healthy, see?!) we begun the hunt for x-mas presents and x-mas trees. Streets were crowded, stores decorated and the smell of roasted sweet hot almonds took over the streets. Hummm… delicious! And we found a very nice tree. J had to carry it on his shoulders from Kongens Nytorv to home. My brave and patient man! Then with Diana Krall singing x-mas songs I started the decorations. Weeeee! You can see the result in the picture although it is not a fantastic picture. The nutcracker I bought in Heidelberg this year, when S and I went for a malaria meeting.

I hate... #1

I hate to bike near big trucks: it makes me feel like a small ant near a elephant ready to be crushed.

I hate to bike in the rain and in the middle of a windstorm without being dress for the occasion: all cover in some kind of impermeable fabric.

I hate November in Denmark: 3 hours of sun so far! Remember the scotch advertisement that said: “days are gray, nights are back and white”? Well the days are gray, afternoons dark gray and nights are pitch black.

Jimmy Choo for H&M … the final episode!


November 14th has passed and Jimmy Choo fashion goodies have arrived to some of the H&M stores. After evaluating how crazy I am for purchasing a fashion item, I realized I was not crazy enough to go in and stand in line outside a store, waiting for it to open, so I could wrestler with girls from 14 to 50 years old for a pair of shoes or for a bag.

I stayed home and in the comfort of my couch I tried my luck on shopping on-line. And bingo! It worked! I got some problems in having access to the Internet site but I managed to buy two fantastic pair of shoes (yesss… the ones in the picture!). A new chapter of my life has opened: I will try to walk on top of really high heals! For the ones who don’t know me, I am a flat shoe girl J

But still on Monday morning I went to the local store to take a look at the leftovers. There was still a lot! My shoes were there (only a few pairs and not my number, so I did good) and they are really nice. The other shoes were also fantastic. Some of the bags were ok. Now, Jimmy honey, did you lost your mind? What was that plastic clutch in pink? It was definitely made of the cheapest plastic ever. Even Barbie’s plastic accessories have a higher quality! And the price? You are kidding me right? And what about the bangles? Were they from a Chinese store? Sweetie, it’s not nice to over charge something like 1000x! Keep on like this and Santa will not give you anything for Christmas. Remember the song? “He's making a list, and checking it twice; gonna find out who's naughty and nice!” I do like fashion but I’m not an idiot!
