REHEARSAL OVER

UP TO DATE
Oh wow, did this month just pass by like a racoon on a scooter? It feels like forever since I was stuffing myself with Christmas leftovers yet no time since my moves were unleashed in Soho for New Year's Eve. Getting back into my routines, there's this Danish radio program I listen to in the mornings, where people text in with what their day ahead would be like, was it a cake. I'm a target for this type of marketing for obvious reasons (My kind of logic exactly), and so it had me thinking, if my January was a cake, we'd be looking at something like 28% tax return research, 62% digging through and sorting out receipts for tax return and 10% cross cravings - we're talking broccoli and chocolate mousse. Sleep is a much missed friend, but I've marked off March for hibernation. This will mean planned, out of context posts, snoring SnapChats*, Netflix and a whole bunch of delivery food.

Everybody excited? Me too!

GOLD COATED

THE SPRING ROLL METHOD

You know that person in the gym, that person who is running turbo-speed, uphill, and oh yeah, they sweat glitter dust. And you (and by you I mean I) am on the next treadmill basically just rolling around like a passive overcooked spring roll. I hope this doesn't apply for you guys, but this week has been that person, running way faster than myself tailwind and all, trying to keep up, spring roll style. For this reason, I like to incorporate anything in my work that will remind me of the weekend. Things that ground me in busy January weeks (you know how I've been raving about yoga), but the little things do wonders to a busy mind.

WESTMINSTER WANDERS

Framboise Fashion Westminster Wandering Purple Vintage

ALL IN GOOD TIME

There's an instant kick of adrenaline when you move to a new city, and in the pursuit of learning about your new local area, those historic landmarks that shape the skyline sometimes get saved for later. Now, mind you, I have passed Big Ben in many elusive and much appreciated moments in the time I've lived in vibrant London. However, intentionally pursuing those historic London spots fully adapting to the always classy mindset of a tourist is another thing entirely. Whether you're from the city originally or as with me, you've been adopted into it somewhere in between, every now and then it's a huge load of fun being the tourist shouting "'Ello guv'ner" from a double decker and hitting the pub for fish and chips.

THE ACTIVE TRACK

PINK SODA SPORTS SPORTS BRA / TIGHTS / NIKE AIR FORCE 1

Now, I'm a firm believer that a healthy body consists of equal parts broccoli and equal parts chocolate. Speaking from experience, my body will simply protest if either aren't a part of my daily diet. As with anything, I believe a balanced diet is the key, furthermore it is a scientific fact that the most immediate way to improve your overall health is by exercise.

I'm really excited to be teaming up on this feature with JD Sports' new womens range Pink Soda Sport. With their holistic view on leading a healthy, active life, the collection acts as a motivator for me to get the wheels (read: trainers) running again. Mind you, due to a knee injury that came after a dance performance, I've had to do a lot of experimentation in finding the right way to get my body moving and feeling good in it. A weekly run and a daily home practice doing yoga has me constantly challenging and enjoying my limits. As mentioned earlier this week, I've jumped on a 30 days of Yoga right here, and it is the highlight of my day! You will be able to follow my journey and lifestyle over the coming months on Pink Soda Sports' hub and on my Instagram, and please don't hesitate in sharing makes you feel good in your body!

LET'S GET MOVING!

SUMMER MIND

SEA NEW YORK TOP / REISS CULOTTES / VINTAGE BOOTS

Whilst I wouldn't usually describe myself as in a trapped state of mind, I do acknowledge, that I'm currently trapped in summer-mode. Perhaps it's the fact that London days are getting longer and lighter, but then it could also be the fact that I've let the air out of my heater, and my entire home is now toasty again!

I'm so excited for this month. My tax-return is my current frenemy, but with my next trip to New York only being a little bit over a month away, and people I love coming to visit me in London this month, my mood simply cannot be brought down.

I HOPE YOU'RE DOING AMAZING

EAST END HOMERUN

VINTAGE LEATHER JACKET / VINTAGE JUMPER / SEA NEW YORK SKIRT / KEEPSAKE TROUSERS / NIKE SNEAKERS / MAXMARA LOAFERS

From blue silk gowns to soggy sneakers that were once whilst posing up against some lucky potato's Volkswagen, you guessed it. I'm home! Home where a parking spot is the price of a mansion, home where there's only one correct answer to what the weather's like and home where the world meets to discuss politics, create art and eat fish and chips.

You have probably heard me complaining more about my cross shower than you have heard me speak about fashion weeks, but even so, it's good to be back and it's good to get started on the projects ahead. My current mantra to get me through the last patch of winter (it doesn't quite feel like winter though, does it?), is cookies and yoga. I'm always one to carry 5 bags, with various lenses, cameras, my laptop, refreshments (just in case) and chargers, so bringing my yoga mat* would probably tip me over for good. Going through the glorious youtube, I came across Yoga with Adriene sometime last year, and it's really brilliant for people of all levels - definitely check her out if yoga floats your boat!

HAVE A GREAT START TO YOUR WEEK

PERFECTLY ON TIME, OUT OF TIME

KEEPSAKE BLOUSE / KEEPSAKE TROUSERS / CLUSE 'LA ROCHE' WATCH / SWAROVSKI NECKLACE / GAS BIJOUX BRACELET / ARMEE DEL ARMOUR RINGS

There's something special about the holiday season and how time seems to just evaporate. Spending these few weeks in central Christmas cities like Copenhagen and now Flensburg, Germany, the fact that I'm surrounded by family members just like me, where the most important detail of the day comes down to whether there's more dessert, has erased the last distinction of weekdays completely.

The disappearance of time proves its very existence, and therefor the importance of a wristwatch remains. CLUSE just launched their La Roche collection, which features beautiful genuine marble dials to celebrate the uniqueness in each individual. There is no better message in my opinion, in a world where we are so often caught up in streamlining ourselves. So here's my holiday wish to you; that you get to lose yourself in time, forget time, and be on time when everything starts again in January.

LOTS OF LOVE

COPENHAGEN COLOURS

VINTAGE COAT / ZARA TOP / AG JEANS / SENSO SHOES / S'NOB DE NOBLESSE SCARF

Calling in from Copenhagen, a city who's inhabitants are known for their muted outfits, the city itself has plenty to offer when it comes to colour. From Nyhavn to Gothersgade and beyond, every street you walk on offers all colours of the rainbow, making you feel you're walking around in a postcard.

The more time passes from the day I moved away, the more I appreciate the beauty of this city, and with many of my close friends and family being based here, it's a city I look forward to visiting every time the opportunity arises.

Current occupation? Hunting for Christmas presents.. If you feel like joining the party, tap srhmikaela into SnapChat and see Copenhagen with me!
(Warning: I'm a fruitcake.)

THE HOLIDAY FINDS

ISABEL MARANT ETOILE SWEATSHIRT (nude + yellow here) / ISABEL MARANT JEANS / SOPHIE HULME BAG / MARC BY MARC JACOBS WATCH / A.P.C. SCARF / REISS PANTS / ZOMP SHOES

If I could marry any season, any season at all, it would definitely be Christmas, mainly due to the variety of sugary treats and decorative coffee beverages. But at this time I also feel way more confident in my winter wardrobe, having sharply observed the capricious London weather over the past few months and therefor having a clear idea of which selected magic outfit staples to bring on the ark into the new year.

I have eyed out a special few in collaboration with Farfetch, rolling around on their website like a kid in a candy shop. To several family members, it will come as no surprise how the Karaté sweatshirt landed in my shopping bag, given that whenever I was painting the walls I'd be chanting: "Up... Down... Up... (...) Down.." in respect to Mr. Miyagi of course (only difference was, instead of matching wall paint, I'd probably be exploring oil pastels or inks - I hope we can all laugh of it now?). At the same time it also happens to be the softest thing I've ever owned. Made for me? Rhetorical question. I have also been going absolutely bananas for Sophie Hulme's bags which with their approach to classic style added with playful humour shall join me right into 2016, which I hope will be filled with exactly those things.
