WHAT COMES AFTER 20?

Belated happy birthday to me! I turned TWENTY-ONE yesterday, woo, party, celebration! *does little dance* Surprisingly enough this is probably one of the few birthdays where it actually hasn't felt all wrong and weird. In fact I've found myself lying to people, telling them I'm 21 when I'm not without even thinking about it. Meh, I guess it's all good then.

I celebrated my birthday by spending the day with Caroline now that she has just returned from a two-week vacation in Rhodos. She came home looking like a cookie that has gotten too long in the oven (I am so great with words) and I had missed her terribly. We then went to see The Great Gatsby in 3D and it's wonderful, I've seen the original movie and didn't like it too much, the acting really bothered me but I like the story itself so I enjoyed the re-made one a lot more. Beautifully done, great soundtrack, good acting (well, I'm just not a Toby Maguire fan) and worth it. Wonderful way to spend my birthday :) 

Now I am editing my late London vlog. I've been having mixed feelings about it because it's so poor quality and messy unlike what I'm used to but I'm gonna put it up! I WILL do it and I hope you're gonna watch it when I get around to upload it ;)

CASUALLY QUIRKY

Mink Pink sweater, H&M pants, Reebok shoes

Do you like my new sweater? I found it in a sample sale in Brick Lane. Again, dots, really getting fond of them they have this wear positive vibe on me. This is what I wore on the last day of our time in London, going home, boo. The shoes got super dirty really quick by the way, I don't know what happened, I think I have a bad habit of stepping on my own shoes? You know, when you sit in a small seat or something you save space by putting one foot on the other? That's probably why all of my shoes are dirty. Urgh. 

This is taken right outside of our hotel by the way, such a lovely neighborhood. There is pretty much no place in London where you can't get a nice background for your ootds, seriously! 

MY NEW SNEAKERS PT. 2

So in the heat of the moment I felt so overwhelmed with the amount of money I had saved from my Nike Rosherun that I went back to Topshop and browsed for another pair of cool sneakers to save more money on and I ended up buying the Reebok classics but in VIOLET. These are slightly different than my white ones because they're not completely made out of leather and have suede on them (always a good thing) and I absolutely adore them. I was originally going for the salmon colored ones/dusty pink because I think they would be easier to style but they were unavailable in my size in all the stores I checked. 

So in the end I convinced myself that violet is just as good, especially because I love the fit of the Reebok classics, they're so warm but not too warm and they're so good to walk in. These were 50 pounds by the way! Outfit photo tomorrow. 

PS. I made a mistake in my previous post, the shorts I was wearing are not from River Island but from New Look, my bad.

WINE/WHITE

Thrift jacket, H&M hoodie and shirt, Primark croptop, New Look shorts, Reebok shoes

Second outfit from London, wearing a pari of new shorts I found the second I stepped into New Look. I think they were like 12 pounds? I've grown this weird weakness for that weird speckled pattern. Wearing a combo of layers when I went out to meet my long time internet friend, Mizuki, who studies here. We went to this place called Yumchaa. It's pretty cute, a lot of tea if you're into that.

Oh and the weather hasn't been that impressive, lots of wind, lots of rain but a decent and just about satisfying amount of sun in the morning and during the day. I am currently sitting in the airport, our plane is delayed so here's three and a half hour to kill. I guess England just won't let go of me yet. Awww.

THE LONDON SPIRIT

Primark tote and shirt, ASOS dress, Nike shoes

An outfit photo from London, wearing pretty much all new items. I didn't pack my suitcase with aside from the neccessary (a pair of long pants, tights, a hoodie...) because I knew I was going to shop anyway. The tote was 1,50 pounds and I love it so much. It's super cute, I think I grew this weird love for everything dotted during this trip. Oh and by the way, a haul video IS going to happen for sure :)

MY NEW SNEAKERS

OMG first post from London! OK, so I wanna start off by saying that my whole 'blogging about London' plan isn't really working. I just forget to document things with my DSLR, it's much easier to just use my iPhone or something like that. But I've been doing a lot of shopping, spent half of my money and one of my absolute favorite buys so far are my new Nike Rosherun. I've been drooling about these for a while now and they're super popular in Denmark but also way more expensive. If you can even get a hold on a pair they're 115 pounds and here they were 63 pounds from Topshop with a student discount. Also wearing a new shirt from Primark I've been wearing since I got it which was 10 pounds.

I've promised myself that I would invest in some nice sneakers because as much as I hate to admit it that's all I really wear, might as well wear some nice ones, right? Outfit photo, tomorrow, see you!!!

FRESHLY CUT

Hey-ho, how it go? Nope. Let's not, ok. So I had a fresh haircut a few days ago and I actually really dislike it and I know why. I always make this big, huge mistake of thinking that the idea of getting 'messy' short bangs is great idea. It is barely ever a great idea. I mean I've had way worse hair situations but just in time for London, really? I look like a troll.

I basically realized a few weeks ago that my hair had grown so much that it started into a tiny mullet in the neck because of the layers and I pretty much had it in a half-ponytail every day because it was getting a bit out of hand. I love the feeling of short hair, especially in the back, but I always forget that my self-confidence is at risk. I just can't wear half the stuff I used to wear without looking super awkward or man-repelling (hint the lack of ootds). So yeah, I've been a bit challenged but whatever. I wasn't here to whine, I was here to ramble. Bit difference.

Oh, and I also bought a new bag from H&M today. Perfect to carry my camera around! What do you think?

CHILDHOOD STORIES (VIDEO)

New video! Yaaaay! So I don't know if any of you notice but I usually upload a video every week (because I'm so awesome, heehee, no seriously remember the time when I only uploaded every second month?) but I had such a big break out and I didn't feel like sitting in front of the camera and such. So now I'm bad, recovering from my acne and I decided to do a different video.  A storytelling video! I hope you like it.

PS. I might be doing a question time video again somewhere in the future, so if you still have some questions feel free to ask and end with #askpangcakes as per usual. You can write to be on twitter, facebook or here. :)

PRESS DAY

Yesterday I visited Patriksson Communication with Stine to look at some of the new collections from some brilliant brands. Oh, and when we arrived Laura and Simone were there as well, haven't seen them in a while. You might remember this place, I have been there previously and I always fall in love with the watches they have. It's weird because I usually don't care too much for watches but these were just great! 

Whenever I do press days I always feel like changing my way of shopping, investing better quality pieces from bigger brands I can't afford instead of lots of high street but then I guess I can only buy one piece of clothes every month. If I'm lucky. Oh well, I'll continue go all 'ohhh, aahhh' for now.

PRIORITIES

Hey, how's it going? I know everything is going slow on the blog, things just kind of happen and you figure out your priorities are different than they used to be. Like for instance I still enjoy fashion but I care much more about making things work on a daily basis. One thing is I've decided to finally move out from my parents' place last week and I've been hunting for an apartment every day ever since. Do you know how difficult it is to find a decently priced place to live as a young adult in Denmark? Very. But I have my hopes up, I really wish to move out before I start university or wherever I get accepted, I think now is a good time for me to get my own place.

Speaking of which, thank you for the nice feedback on my photo project, guys! I was a tad curious if people cared at all but I was pleasantly surprised to see your feedback on my stuff. I still haven't gotten an answer yet which I believe I should have today? Oh well, I don't worry too much. If I don't get in I like my second choice a lot!
