'90s Throwback



I'm admittedly quite late to the slip dress trend, but maybe because I'm not much of a dress person in general. In any case, I'm quite enjoying the slip dress as layering piece deal that's been making its rounds. It's just easy and I don't have to worry about flashing someone because of how low the slip dress is. It's casual enough but feels like I put just the right amount of effort in my outfit. Plus it's not so pajama-like this way.



There are sooo many slip dresses out there, but this particular one is a Matches exclusive. I've worn it like this (over my favorite tee), and also with a cropped bomber and sneakers for a super '90s look. For a less precious material but still a nice slinky feel to it, I love this dark olive number. Ooh, and how about this velvet version with a high slit? Very fun. Anyway, the options out there are endless, but a super simple silk black one never hurts to have.

P.S. You can find this Gucci belt here!

A Denmark must-visit



I'm not sure when the switch flipped and I started immensely caring about visiting modern art museums in each of the cities I traveled to (or maybe I'm just getting old), but it's something I really enjoy now. I'll gladly go a bit out of the way or out of the main city to spend half a day at a museum. And the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art isn't even that out of the way – just a quick train ride from Copenhagen and a pleasant walk from the station will get you there. I actually didn't get that many photos here because it was a bit of sensory overload – way too many amazing pieces to even attempt to photograph them all. The grounds are inspiring just to be on, and on a clear day, you can see Sweden across the water. Plus you can have a little picnic under a Calder. Dreamy, ain't it?






Wearing //
Jeans - Acne (30% off - these run 2 sizes small!)
Top - Everlane (sucker for any 'Blush' colored things)
Bag - Gucci (as if my penchant or obsession with green and blush weren't apparent enough)
Sneakers - Common Projects (though mine are the 'warm white' color)

I also wanted to mention that my friends at Journy are giving away an incredible Mexico City trip focused on food and design. Monday (7/11) is the last day to enter, so I would get on that if I were you!

Ordrupgaard

The amount of photos getting slowly buried in my archives is giving me serious anxiety. So I'm trying to do something about it, starting with a few photos from a visit to Ordrupgaard, an art museum just outside of Copenhagen. I'd highly recommend a visit, because this is also where Finn Juhl's house is (!!). You can see a selection of my photos from the house on Cereal's online journal. Note that the Finn Juhl house is only open on weekends and holidays. I think I enjoyed the grounds around the museum and sculpture garden – which features works from one of my favorite artists, Jeppe Hein – a bit more than the museum exhibitions themselves, but it's completely still worth a visit. The Zaha Hadid portion of the building was added in 2005 and is quite a stark contrast to the original structure (both are beautiful though).









Wearing //
Jeans - Acne (literally my favorite pair in rotation right now)
Top - Elizabeth Suzann
Sunglasses - Self-Portrait x Le Specs
Sandals - Maryam Nassir Zadeh (exact pair! It was so hard to find these last year.)
Bag - Celine (in a killer blue)
