LA Flea market

Another cool flea market visit!

I absolutely love flea markets, because vintage gives you great inspiration for work, and it takes you back to different time periods. Vintage in LA is great, because you can find lots of Ball room gowns and Hollywood creations! I found a few more casual pieces, that I will post shortly!
It was my first time visiting a LA flea market, and it was great. The warm makes you instantly relaxed, I guess this is the famous LA vibe! I took a few pictures, and hope that these give you an idea, of what a small LA flea market is like and the crowd!

 Lot's of small stalls!

Great interior stuff too!

 LA do have sweaters!

 Lot's of boots to give you the relaxed LA look!




The flea market was hosted on the grounds of Fairfield high school, which is of Melrose Avenue. There are also lots of local vintage shops on this part of Melrose Avenue, that are fun and have great deals!


We were lucky to also get authentic Mexican soft tacos, before they were sold out, for lunch after working up an appetite from the shopping and walking.


It was a great experience, and I get why people love LA, who doesn't like warm weather, being relaxed and some cool vintage shopping!


My LA vintage flea market post is coming next!


Flee markets are a must all year around and anywhere in the world!

Find them near you!

Enjoy and Happy Holiday,

Aesop is my new sweetheart!

Fabulous face products that have won my heart!

Have you ever walked into a shop, and felt like you were in wonderland and found it really difficult to leave!

This was my experience, when I walked into the Aesop skin care shop in New York a few weeks ago!

I was first introduced to the brand, when visiting their shop in Borough Market in London with my London partner in crime Mette! We both loved the shop, and we ended up leaving the shop, with pockets full of small samples of various products! Best sales trick ever, now I'm in love with their products and couldn't imagine a day with out them!

Besides the luxury smooth feeling to the skin, I also enjoy the scent. Especially now on a dark cold winter morning, I feel, they lift me up and simply walk out the door feeling great!

My collection so far is the face cleanser, face lotion, body lotion, hand soap and hand cream.


My Aesop collection!

Aesop is an Australian company, and the name originates from the story teller Aesop. Their products are natural, and I have a feeling, that we will be together for a long time! There are endless products in their range, and I can't wait to explore them all!

Find a shop near you, they are all really well designed and worth the visit. I only have one warning, don't go, if you are not prepared to spend a little extra! The products are not cheap, but they last for a long time, and they are value for money! In Copenhagen you can get the hand lotion in Holly Golightly, which is always worth a visit, if you are in town! Most of the skin products are available on the shop's Danish website.

X-mas is around the corner and Aesop makes great gifts for both men and women, they will not disappoint you, plus the packaging design is really nice and cool!

Happy feel good x-mas skin to everyone!


Enjoy,
