[music] I am going to a Pilates class and I'm really excited because it's a new studio
here in Copenhagen. It's the owners of Exorcer and they have opened up a studio and it is so beautiful and I can't wait to try out the class because you guys
know I love Pilateses and it's actually been a while since I went to a Pilates class. And then afterwards I'm actually going to get my nails done because I
class. And then afterwards I'm actually going to get my nails done because I wanted to have some nice nails during the holiday season. I'm going to some
Christmas dinners and events, so I wanted to treat myself to some nails. [music]
[music] This is the outfit that I'm going to wear. A gray hoodie and sweatpants and my sneakers,
my gray chunky coat. And I think I'm going to bring this bag with me, like a leather bag, and then I also have my workout clothes here. So, yeah. [music]
>> [music] [music] >> I just ordered an iced latte and I'm waiting for my nail appointment. There's
like a cafe inside the nail studio. Really cool. It's called Freds. But
yeah, I think I'm going to get square shape with French tip. I've been looking on Pinterest for some inspo and [music] I think I've decided on that. So, I'm excited.
[music] I am obsessed with the nails. I feel like she did such a good job. They look
very elegant and straight. But on my way home, I was craving some
VMO. It's bread with butter and cheese. So, I went to the bakery. I bought my
VMO. It's bread with butter and cheese. So, I went to the bakery. I bought my favorite cheese called gamnese. It is the most perfect cheese on the
planet. It has this kind of crystally texture, a little bit like parmesan, but
planet. It has this kind of crystally texture, a little bit like parmesan, but just a little bit more buttery. And it's just so good. And then I have the sourdough bun.
[music] >> [music] >> I'm so excited for this.
My gosh. Yummy. I am going to get dressed and I thought I'd show you guys a few outfit ideas I've been loving for everyday. And I'm super excited to be partnering with Lily
Silk on today's video. If you don't know them already, they focus on really beautiful natural fabrics like wool, cashmere, silk, and just overall very
classy and timeless pieces that are very easy to wear dayto-day. So, I've been wearing this set this morning from their silkery line, and it has this cozy terry
feel, but the fabric is woven with natural silk fibers, which makes it softer and more lightweight. So, it's super comfy to be wearing around the
house or running some errands like I did this morning or like a cute airport fit.
It's really nice. And I will link all of the pieces down below. And I will also write my sizes. I feel like that's always a bit helpful. For the first outfit, I'm going to style these beautiful black trousers. These have
easily become one of my all-time favorite trousers. I've been wearing them on repeat, and they're a mix of wool and silk, so I feel like they're perfect for the colder days. The fit of them is just so elegant. It's a wide
leg, and it has this plead in the middle, which I think is so chic. I feel
like they're the perfect mix of structure and comfort. Literally perfect
for everyday. I'm going to throw on this beautiful brushed cashmere sweater. It's
incredibly soft and fluffy. It has this light, airy feel to it, and I chose it in this gray color. I feel like I'm such a sucker for gray sweaters. It's such a go-to. I feel like it just goes with everything. And I'm wearing this white
go-to. I feel like it just goes with everything. And I'm wearing this white t-shirt underneath. I feel like layering is such a key for a chic look. I feel
t-shirt underneath. I feel like layering is such a key for a chic look. I feel
like I've gone through different stages with my style. I've definitely been experimenting a bit the past years, but I feel like I'm leaning more and more
towards high quality good basics that you can style in many different ways. I
feel like I've been over complicating my outfits and I've struggled with like always trying to be so unique and different and funky, but truly deep down I really just love classy, simple outfits. For the next look, I'm going
for this baby cashmere V-neck. You guys have seen me talk about this sweater before. It's honestly such a classic piece and I feel like it really elevates
before. It's honestly such a classic piece and I feel like it really elevates every outfit. I got this one a bit more oversized, but I feel like it would also
every outfit. I got this one a bit more oversized, but I feel like it would also look good a bit more fitted. I've put on this brown leather belt from Lily Silk, and this is my first brown belt. And I've actually really been enjoying
wearing a brown belt because it's a little bit more gentle when you are styling an outfit. Sometimes I feel like a black belt is a little bit more like
out there. And yeah, I really love this one with this look. Okay, guys. I am
out there. And yeah, I really love this one with this look. Okay, guys. I am
especially excited for this last outfit because I'm wearing the most stunning silk pants. I feel like I've been dreaming about these pants for many,
silk pants. I feel like I've been dreaming about these pants for many, many years. They're finally mine, guys. These are 100% Mulbury silk and they are
many years. They're finally mine, guys. These are 100% Mulbury silk and they are just absolutely perfect. The way they drape is just so beautiful. I've chosen
this black cashmere cardigan. I feel like this is going to give the look a bit more of an autumn feel. I'm going to add these earrings and I'm going to put on my watch. So,
this is the last outfit and I'm curious to hear which one was your favorite. I
feel like all of them are polished but still feeling relaxed, which is exactly how I want my wardrobe to feel like. And that's kind of what I'm going to be
focused on from now on, like fewer pieces, higher quality, and natural fabrics.
I just think that's what I'm most comfortable and confident in. So, thank
you so much to Lily Silk for partnering with me on today's video. Make sure to go check them out in the link in the description box. I'm actually thinking about wearing the first outfit that I tried on today because we're going to be
heading out into the city. I had to show you guys my little baby over here, Matilda. Hey.
Hey. Changed into the first outfit. I feel like it's very effortlessly chic.
And I'm going to put on my new Sherling coat that I actually thrifted in a video
that's coming next week. And I think I'll bring this leather bag with me. But
yeah, I have some news for you guys. So Helga and I are actually moving in 6 weeks, but I feel like it's very soon because of course the holidays are
coming up, but yeah, we're soon going to be starting to pack down everything. And
I'm really excited. And Hel and I wanted to go to the city, maybe get some inspiration for our new apartment, do a little browsing, maybe check out some
vintage furniture stores. So yeah, I'm gonna show you guys the finished look.
Okay, just moving the camera so you guys can see properly how cute. And this coat is so chunky.
It's perfect for this cold weather. So yeah, all ready to go. [music]

>> [music] >> Hello guys, we are back home from the city brows. I brought home two goodies that I wanted
to show you. So, we actually bought some soap and it's maybe not something that we need before moving, but the thing is my soap dispenser recently broke and I
wanted to buy a new like glass container and this brand makes the most beautiful like hand washes and this is their signature scent called Apothecary and
it's this brand called Framma. It's a Danish design brand. They make like furniture, self-c care stuff, like fragrances and all that jazz. But I just
wanted to show you quickly. Oh my, it is so chic. And then we actually went to this antique store.
It's also a cafe. It's called B Mar. It's honestly one of my favorite places in Copenhagen. It's just so so cute. There was this adorable dog there. I
in Copenhagen. It's just so so cute. There was this adorable dog there. I
feel like we saw so many cute dogs today. It was so fun meeting all of those cute dogs. I actually don't know why we got it wrapped. We didn't ask for
it. She just like brought it to us and I couldn't say like, "Oh, no. We don't
it. She just like brought it to us and I couldn't say like, "Oh, no. We don't
want it wrapped." So, it was nice. [laughter] A level lamp. Oh my gosh. This was my favorite thing when I was younger. I used to have lava lamps in my bedroom
and this one was just such a vibe. It wasn't really expensive and I love lighting lamps in my apartment. I think it just makes the space a lot more cozy.
I don't really like these lamps or like the the ceiling lamps. They can be a little bit like, you know, bright and not very cozy. So, I feel like lighting
lamps and candles is just so cozy. So, I thought we could add this one to our lamp collection.
Okay guys. I love it. Okay, apparently it takes between 3 to 5 hours for the wax to heat up and start to form bubbles. So, I guess we'll have
to wait a bit to see the perfect lava lamp. But I feel like it looks very cute in our space. I mean, it's not going to stay here for long, but in the new
apartment. But I'm going to cook some dinner. I'm going to make fajitas. So,
apartment. But I'm going to cook some dinner. I'm going to make fajitas. So,
I'm going to head to the store and buy some tortillas, avocados, bell peppers, and beef. This is my new favorite dish. We always find like a new dish to rotate
and beef. This is my new favorite dish. We always find like a new dish to rotate in our weekly schedule and I've been really obsessed with fajitas. I remember
eating it a lot when I was younger. So, let's go cook some dinner.
Squeezing some lime juice. Taa. >> How is it? So yummy. [music]
[music] Okay. I love how intentionally [music] everything is matching. my cup, the book, and even my tea.
Okay. I love how intentionally [music] everything is matching. my cup, the book, and even my tea.
This has always been my favorite color. So, that's why I picked the cup in these
two blue colors. I really love it. And the lava lamp, guys, is starting to form bubbles.
I've been sitting here looking at it. It's honestly so satisfying. You could
just sit here and stare for hours, but I feel like the light bulb is a little bit too bright. I would love to have it a little bit more cozy, so I might switch
too bright. I would love to have it a little bit more cozy, so I might switch it out. But it's very satisfying.

[music] >> [music] >> I love the sleepy time tea from PA. I love the blend of chamomile, licorice. I
don't know what else is in it, but it's really good. And I've been I don't know.
I've been trying to watch less TV. I feel like you get so hooked on, you know, those TV series. So fun, but [clears throat] it's addicting. And I
really want to read more and just kind of or what do you say? Wind down, have my tea, light some lamps and um some candles and just get into a good mood so
I'm ready for bed. I feel like my sleeping schedule got kind of off track when we went to both Iceland and Norway. I felt like we couldn't really stick to
our same good routine where we went to sleep at the same time, woke up at the same time, but I'm slowly trying to get back into it. I feel like I've been struggling to fall asleep the past week. I don't know, my head is just spinning
when I'm going to bed. So yeah, that's why I'm going to be reading my book and having some tea. I'm going to read this book called The Body Keeps the Score. I
had heard some good things about it. Uh, but I started doing some more research and apparently some people find it problematic. So, I have no clue what I'm
about to get into, but apparently it's about brain, mind, and body and the healing of trauma. So yeah, I'm just really trying to figure out more like
about myself in terms of, you know, overthinking and perfectionism and, you know, chronic stress and lots of things. I don't know, you guys know that I've
been on this I now I really cringe at this word, but I've been calling it like a healing journey. I've just really been trying to feel better and more connected
to myself. I felt really kind of yeah out of touch a few months ago and also
to myself. I felt really kind of yeah out of touch a few months ago and also just the past year. I think I've been doing a lot of research on like the
nervous system and I'm also listening to a podcast. I'm going to talk about it maybe in my next video. But yeah, I've been learning a lot and there's yeah, so
many things that make sense and I really want to feel my best and be more present, like stay true to myself and just trying to regulate my nervous
system. And I feel like I need the tools to really understand like how to do it
system. And I feel like I need the tools to really understand like how to do it because it's not so easy. you don't read like a book or like Yeah, I don't know
what I'm saying, but it's not very simple. It's a lot to like navigate and figure out. So, me and Matilda [snorts] are just going to Can you see her? Yeah, you can. Yeah.
