Two Door Cinema Club

I know, I know... it's bad to advertise about music on a blog because people might have different taste than you when it comes to music. Well, I don't care! I urge you to buy the Two Door Cinema Club album called Tourist History, because it's amazing!

And if you don't want to buy it, at least take a listen to this amazing band!

Stylish photos.

I love looking in fashion magazines and at style photos, and sometimes you do stumble on one that is absolutely mindblowing.
While this one is not mindblowing, it's still a very good example of one of those fashion photos that will stay in the back of your mind, even if you aren't into the Olsen twins.

Rest in Peace, Troy Davis.

The 21st of September will be remembered for a case of injustice to an innocent man called Troy Davis.
Troy Davis. It will also be remembered as a day where a great amount of miscarriage of justice occurred.

Troy Davis was convicted of murdering a police officer in 1989, but 7 out of 9 eye-witnesses changed their testimony and there was no physical evidence linking him to the scene of crime. There was simply too much doubt to execute him.

Yet, it happened. The 21st of September at 11:08 pm EST Troy Davis died due to lethal injection.

But there are many Troy Davises out there - and the fight for justice towards them will continue.

Rest in Peace, Troy Davis - the fight has only just begun.

Just a little about fashion.

Whenever I'm shopping, my clothes tends to be either black or other dark colours (the exception is a red dress and a few pastel coloured t-shirts). What I tend to do to get some inspiration is to look at various websites.

Here's my suggestion for a more colourful outfit from Zara:

The Neoprene Studio top:


These wonderful Metallic Trousers:

And to maintain the androgynous look, wear a pair of either brogues or bluchers with the outfit, like these:

I do believe this is a wonderful example that day-to-day clothes doesn't have to be dark! :)

All pictures are from Zara!

Golden oldie!

A friend of mine and I were talking about favourite Bonds, and when the talk came to Roger Moore, I remembered this theme tune. The Persuaders is one of the best shows ever made, and the theme is equally as good. You're wellcome. Enjoy.

"Hello, my name is Danish"

Hi there!

Often, when I'm out, I get asked where my name is from because it's unusual in England. I've had from "Is it Polish?" to "Were your parents hippies or summat?" (yes, they do actually say summat instead of something) to which I reply that my name is strange due to my Danish heritage (imagine the people I'd be talking to say "Ooooh!" by this point).

But to be quite honest, I don't talk that much about the fact that I'm Danish, because it's not the first thing that springs to mind (and quite frankly, I've been a bit embarrassed about it due to Denmark's human rights breeches and having the Danish People's Party in power), but after Denmark had an election two days ago, I feel I can finally talk about it again and be less embarrassed about my own country. But enough about politics.

I've recently been listening to a lot of Danish music (including added song), and it's brilliant. I often forget how good Danish music can be, and I'm beginning to throughly enjoy that.

And so what if I've got to wear a nametag saying "Hello, my name is Danish" whenever I go out? At least I can enjoy some music that the people in England would never get the chance to hear. :)
