Direkte live fra København, har I mig! Godmorgen alle <3 Jeg er ikke sikker på, om jeg fik nævnt, at turen gik mod København denne weekend. Ikke desto mindre stod jeg op kl. 5 om morgenen i går for at nå en tidlig flyver nordpå. Landede kl. 8 og kl. 9 mødtes jeg med min barndomsveninde på Nørreport og vi spiste lækker morgenmad og snakkede (der er meget, der skal indhentes, når man ikke har set hinanden i fem måneder!). Selvfølgelig var jeg træt, men da jeg endnu mere træt lagde hovedet på puden i går aftes, havde jeg haft den længste og bedste dag og fået set så mange venner og familie allerede – på bare en dag. Jeg har nemlig ikke været i København i tre måneder!
Nu skal jeg overstå noget oversættelses-arbejde og så skal jeg gøre mig klar – min fætter skal nemlig konfirmeres! Min kæreste (der er fra New York) er også inviteret, og det bliver interessant for ham at opleve sin første danske konfirmationsfest! Hav en dejlig solskinshelligdag <3

English: Straight from CPH! Good morning guys <3 I am not sure if I told you that I was going to Copenhagen this weekend, but none the less, did I wake up at 5 am yesterday to go to the airport and fly to Copenhagen. At 9 am I met with my childhood friend at the city center to have breakfast. Admitted, I was a little tired, but when I fell asleep last night, it felt like I have had the best and longest day ever because I had been up so early and done so many things. First I had a yummy breakfast with one friend. Then went home to see my dog. Biked to meet another friend for limonade. Went home to see my mom who got back from work. Went shopping. Made dinner. Had family dinner + my brother and uncle from Switzerland came. Such a great and accomplished day, and it felt so good seeing everyone after not being in Copenhagen for three months!
Now I have some translation work to do before I am getting ready. We are going to a big family party all day today, it is a bank holiday in Denmark! Have a great, sunny Friday <3
Den anden dag postede jeg et indlæg omkring SOS the studio, et skønt Berlin/skandinavisk modemærke, som også er den virksomhed, jeg arbejder for. Jeg tror aldrig, at jeg før på bloggen, er gået helt vildt i detalje omkring, hvad jeg egentlig arbejder med til hverdag, men sandheden er, at jeg arbejder! Jeg rejser ikke bare rundt og nyder livet, selvom det måske på bloggen kan virke sådan. I hvert fald ikke altid 😉 Derfor vil jeg i dette indlæg give jer lidt indsigt i, hvad jeg arbejder med.
SOS the studio er et forholdsvist nyt modemærke, åbnet af to danskere. De har boet i Berlin i mange år, hvilket mener, at SOS the studio er grundlagt i Berlin men har skandinaviske rødder og stil. De to første butikker åbnede i september 2015, og et par uger hørte jeg om mærket og kontaktede hurtigt SOS the studio for at høre, om der var arbejde til mig. Jeg har tidligere været med til at starte nye virksomheder op, og det er noget, jeg synes er meget lærerigt og interessant. At være med i en ny virksomhed fra starten af – det er her, hvor man virkelig kan komme med gode ideer og prøve en masse af.
Kort tid efter fik jeg et opkald fra min chef, der fortalte, at de rigtig gerne ville have mig til jobsamtale. En uge senere fik jeg jobbet som kommunikation- PR- og sociale medier-manager hos SOS the studio, og jeg var selvfølgelig meget glad.
Så, hvad indeholder mit job egentlig? Jeg arbejder fire-seks dage om ugen fra en af butikkerne i Berlin, og mine arbejdsopgaver varierer en hel del. Der er meget at gøre og tage sig af. Én dag har jeg måske et møde med en kollega, mine chefer, eller med en blogger, der kommer forbi for at tale om fremtidigt samarbejde. En anden dag tager jeg billeder til vores sociale medier og forfatter de tekster, de skal uploades med. Jeg arbejder også meget med vores grafiske designer – jeg kommer med ideer til events, konkurrencer eller kampagner, og sammen med vores grafiske designer får vi ideerne ført ud rent grafisk. Jeg planlagde også det photoshoot vi havde tilbage i januar for vores onlineshop. Alt i alt er mine arbejdsopgaver meget varierede, og det er netop det, jeg godt kan lide ved mit job. At jeg skal have så mange hatte på, fra at sælge tøj og tale med kunderne og sørge for, at de får en god oplevelse og kommer igen, til at forfatte kommentarer og være kreativ med billeder til at planlægge events og komme på nye marketingsstrategier!
Hvis du vil se mere af hvad jeg laver, kan du shoppe online her, og tjekke Instagram og Facebook. Sidst men ikke mindst, hvad synes I om billederne?

English: The other day I posted a blog post about SOS the studio, an awesome Berlin/Scandinavian fashion brand that also happens to the be company I work for. I feel like I have never gone to much into detail about what I actually do in my everyday life here on the blog, besides traveling of course. Well, the truth is, I actually do work! In this post I will give you a little bit of an insight to what I actually do and what my job contains.
SOS the studio is a fairly new fashion label opened by two Danish people. They lived in Berlin for many years, which means that the brand is a Berlin based fashion label with Scandinavian roots and style. They opened their two first stores in Berlin in September 2015, and a few weeks later I heard about them, I decided to write SOS the studio seeing if they had any job positions for someone like me. I have earlier worked in the process of starting of new companies, and it is something I really find interesting – to be in a new company from the beginning and to help the company set base and start from scratch. This is where one is really able to come up with good ideas and to try them out.
Next thing I knew, I got a phonecall from my (now) boss, saying that they would love to have me in for an interview. A week later I got the job as a communication-PR-and social media manager at SOS the studio, and I, of course, was very happy.
So next – what does my work contain? I work four-six days a week from one of the stores in Berlin, and my tasks vary a lot. One day I might have a meeting with a colleague, my bosses or a blogger about a future collaboration. Another day I take pictures for our social media channel and write texts to post with the pictures, when I upload them. Then I also work a lot with our graphic designer. I come up with marketing ideas and together with the graphic designer we make the actual outcome such as store events, shopping campaigns and online competitions for social media. I also planned the photoshoot we had back in January for our online store. All in all, my job tasks are very versatile, and usually no day is similar. This is what I love about the job, the fact that I am able to wear so many hats and to work as anything from sales person, talking to the customers and selling clothes, write comments and take pictures for social media, plan events and marketing strategies and make sure that everything works good in the company.
I dag sker der noget nyt på bloggen – jeg kan nemlig præsentere jeg for min første vlog! Min kæreste og jeg fandt på at filme, da vi var i København for et par uger siden, og det er der kommet denne video ud af. Jeg synes, det er sjovt at lave videoer, så lad mig endelig vide, om det er noget, I gerne vil se mere til i fremtiden! Jeg har helt sikkert meget at lære i forhold til at lave vlogs, men det kommer 😉 Jeg håber, at I kan lide den! Enjoy <3
ENGLISH: Today I am happy to introduce to you – my first vlog! My boyfriend and I talked about filming our weekend in Copenhagen where we went a few weeks ago, and this is the result! I am very interested in doing more videos in the future – it is a lot of fun, but I also have a lot to learn 😉 Let me know if you like it and enjoy watching it <3
A day off last week before Copenhagen, and I spent it at Soho House in Berlin. I love Soho House and all their facilities such as The Store, and the recently opened Italian restaurant named Cecconi’s.
#boyfriendgoals (insert emoji with hearts as eyes) <3
Cecconi’s at Soho House Berlin! Just opened a few weeks ago and last week my boyfriend and I went there for lunch. It was great and the atmosphere and decoration in the restaurant felt very New York, we agreed.
From the bar you can see the chefs cooking in the open restaurant and it was very entertaining.
Starters! Salmon carpaccio and buratta with avocado and beets <3
The Store – a combined concept store and cafe.
Lunch/breakfast at The Store. Healthy and yummy! The Store x Soho House is a combined cafe and concept store, and many hip people also use The Store as a place to get some work done. The food is healthy and yummy, and the atmosphere is great.
Engang i mellem er livet bare gennem-godt! Når man bruger tid med folk man elsker, og især en masse af dem på samme tid. Sådan var min lørdag i København. Jeg sov længe, endda alt for længe, spiste morgenmad med mine forældre i mit barndomshjem, og tog så bilen til Nørrebro. Jeg prøver at holde min kørsel ved lige, når jeg er hjemme i København og har adgang til en bil. Her mødte vi min bror, hans kæreste og min veninde og tog på Café Auto, hvor nogle spiste burger, andre drak kaffe og the, mens de sidste spiste kage. Derefter gik vi en lang tur på Assistens Kirkegård, hvor vi tilfældigt stødte ind i nogle gode venner. Dette sker alt for tit i København, og det er noget, jeg både elsker og hader ved byen (det kommer jo helt an på, HVEM man støder ind i, haha!), men her var det altså et dejligt tilfælde.
Efter gåturen havde min kæreste og jeg en time at slå ihjel inden vores bordreservationer, så vi besluttede os for at cruise lidt rundt i byen. På vores køretur gjorde vi stop ved Amalienborg (lidt turist har man vel lov at være – selv i egen by) og snappede et par billeder ude foran Marmorkirken, som aldrig skuffer! Vi nåede lige akkurat til Vesterbro for at være på Foderbrættet til vores reservationer, og alle mine venner havde sagt, at jeg virkelig var in for a treat, og de havde ret. FODERBRÆTTET VAR SÅ GODT, MADEN, DRINKSNE!!!!! Gourmet hotdogs med alt muligt lækkert fyld og tilbehør og NAM, det var så lækkert. Anbefalinger herfra, hvis I er lidt bagud ligesom mig og endnu ikke har været et smut forbi hotdog-himlen hos Foderbrættet! Eneste minus var at vi blev smidt væk fra bordet efter to timer, og at lyset vitterligt ikke var Instagram-venligt, så I må altså leve med et dårligt billede derfra…. 😉 Efter middag og lidt for mange drinks – what’s a girl to do, når der er to for ens pris? – smuttede vi til Kødbyen og hyggede i et par timer, inden det gamle ægtepar (min kæreste og jeg) var klar til at gå til køjs. Skøn dag i min skønne hjemby, og jeg er glad! Håber I også har haft en dejlig weekend!
ENGLISH: Oh, how life is simply great when you enjoy it with the people you love! And all of them at the same time! Saturday was one of those days. I slept in, woke up pass late, had breakfast and coffee with my parents, before taking the car to drive to Nørrebro to meet my brother and his girlfriend. We went to a nice cafe and had coffee, tea and lemonade, and my other friend came over. Then we went for a long walk through the city and randomly met some other friends (one of the things I love AND hate about Copenhagen – the city is so small that everyone knows everyone and you always run into people you know). Then my boyfriend and I had an hour to kill before our dinner reservations, so we took the car for a tourist ride around town and made a stop in front of the marble church to shoot the pictures shown above. You can say many things about Copenhagen, but it is mos def a beautiful city! We had dinner at Foderbrættet and it was beyond delicious! Gourmet hotdogs with all kinds of meat variations and toppings your heart could desire and happy hour two for one great drinks, so both our hearts and stomaches were happy. Only minus was the rather bad light that made it impossible to snap a good photo of the food. #firstworldproblems! After dinner the night was still young so we went over to Kødbyen (hippest spot in Copenhagen – the meatpacking district of CPH) and had wine and a good time with a friend of mine I have known for a really long time. Great Saturday! <3 I hope you spent your Saturday just as you wanted!
