Designer Forum Copenhagen

Friday I went to a huge Danish sample sale called Designer Forum. It's pretty famous among fashionistas in Copenhagen and thousands of girls and boys had shown up to rummage all the boxes and tables of designer clothing and accessories. I took a few quick pics there with my iPhone, but for the most part I was too busy shopping to take pictures. They had a lovely selection of Wildfox Couture and I tried on almost everything. I fell in love with a gorgeous knit sweater and I'm really regretting not buying it. I did however get a Wilfox hoodie, a tie dye kaftan, and a vintage (antique according to the seller) Indian quilt. I'm overall very happy with my buys but really wish I could get that darn sweater off my mind...

My dream sweater. *cry*

Cute flowery dresses. I wanted two of them but forgot to go back for them.

Fun funky sneaker bags. Very hard to resist.

A wide selection of vintage/antique Indian quilts and pillowcases in beautiful colorful fabrics.

Late night quick pics of my new kaftan.

My Indian quilt. It was hard to pick just one out of the bunch but I loved this color combo of pink, blue, yellow and purple.

Forum Flea Market

Last weekend I went to the Forum Copenhagen Winter Flea-and Antique Market with my mom and grandmother. We've been going for years and it's become something of a tradition. The flea market is indoors and offers plenty of interesting stalls with beautiful items such as clothes, jewelry and decor. This time I was lucky enough to find some great pieces that I'll share with you in a moment. I also bought some yummy homemade organic carrot cake. The flea market is maybe 4-6 times a year and there's always something different to discover there. I hope you'll visit if you're ever in Copenhagen or if you live here already but haven't tried it before. Luckily I had my iPhone with me so I took some pictures to share with you.

I bought a beautiful pair of Russian worn child's ballet slippers, some mixed vintage jewelry and a very cute figurine. All vintage and low priced. I'm very happy with my finds, especially the slippers.

Interesting Jewelry

I recently discovered the online jewelry shop by Erica Weiner. There are some very interesting pieces there, some crazy expensive and some more reasonable for my budget. But there's lots to look at and get inspired by and maybe it's the place where I'll find my wedding ring-to-be. I'm looking for something unique and antique and this place might just have what I'm looking for.

Antique Market Porte de Clignancourt in Paris

This was my first time at the wonderful flea/antique market at Porte de Clignancourt. I was very discouraged at first as I was surrounded by stalls full of modern designer knock-offs and cheap souvenirs. Thankfully it turned out the antique part of the market was further down the street. It fully lived up to my hopes and expectations and I had such a wonderful time there. I hadn't brought a lot of money so I didn't really buy anything despite the plethora of wonderful vintage parisian accessories, clothes, furniture, and knick knacks. I did however take lots of pictures. 

The market area is made up of intertwining paths full of stalls and shops that were covered in blossoming purple flowers. People were very nice but most didn't want me to take pictures of their goods. Some however were very nice about it. I found several things that I really wanted and I could have kicked myself for not bringing enough cash.
