fashion says hi to art. art greets.
Evren Tekinoktay is the artist behind these beautiful, feminine, collages in beautiful purple tones. These collages are from her exhibition U (2011). Layers upon layers, almost like a never ending story. Think of her collages as an orange, you keep peeling, never quite reaching the fruit, but keep going.
Designer Stine Goya has collaborated with Tekinoktay, who has created the pattern of her Carla dress, Crystal scarf and Stick top from her AW11 collection. So refreshing, ladies.

LUNCH
I met up with my friend Trine for lunch at Paludan Bogcafé. Even though it was hot, we decided to go for two bowls of tomato soup and cheese for dessert. My calendar is completely filled with work related notes, but it is always nice to be able to squeeze in a friend.
A note on the café: I love the idea of a bookshop and café in one place. So it is no shock that I spend a lot of time in the café all year around reading and catching up with friends. Not only is it bookshop and a lovely café with great lattes, and soon they can add gallery to their name! They are currently making room for a gallery as well.

SUMMER NOTES
My calendar is completely booked and completely doodled - I am afraid I might miss my many coffee dates or work because of the many doodles filling the pages. Anyway, the entries are not frequent, but since summer has graced us with its face here in Denmark, I thought I would share some of my summer notes with you.
The home of carpet designer, Malene Barnett by The Selby.
1. It is very healthy to keep your alarm clock in the shadows during summer. Get used to go bed early so that your body can get the 8-9 hours of sleep it needs and let it wake up with the sun. This can be the start of a good day - to feel rested and ready to embrace the day. And to feel rested is to feel healthy.
2. Even though the title says, 'Hello Sadness', this little novella by Francoise Sagan is a perfect read during summer. The novella is about a girl, Cécile, who is leading a jaded life with her father, but one change to their frivolous life makes Cecile think differently, and it has consequences. She seeks comfort in the sea and in the sun, and it is written beautifully. And a little side note, the author wrote this when she was 18!
3. A cd that rests by my laptop is "Fall Down" by CallmeKat. Katrine Ottosen - the lady behind the tunes - has a playful voice, which is conveyed in her cover of Britney's hit "Toxic". Her music is electric, original and alluring. A perfect blend, if you ask me!
4. Go for a run now and then! We all know little about the many things you can avoid by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

BUSY BEE IN A BLUR
This week has been a blur. So many things have happened this week, good and bad, but all in a blur. I have been catching up with friends, had my final oral examination of my second semester at uni, worked and helped adding the final touches to my parents and uncle's restaurant, worked, started a new volunteer job, bought pretty striped and dotted blouses etc. Those were the pros. Now to the cons... everything has happened so fast, I forgot to bask, it is almost as if I have an indistinct memory of this week and the week has not even come to an end, yet! lol.
