<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Lomography is an international movement aimed at taking </span>and sharing analogue photo’s. A</span>nd it’s more than photography; it’s a ‘living in the moment’ lifestyle. Their belief :“<i>The Future is Analogue</i>”.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lomography is an international movement aimed at</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nowadays the International Society of Lomography has more than 2 million members. But it all started with three students in Vienna in 1991; Wolfgang, Bernhard and Matthias.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>How it all started</b></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In 1991 Matthias bought a little camera in Prague. Back in Vienna, in typical student times with parties, women and booz , Matthias and his two friends started taking pictures with this ‘Lomo Compact’. This small Russian camera made suprising pictures with a unique, authentic feel.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Soon the friends were approached by people who wanted a Lomo too and a within a few months over 50 people were taking pictures with the same camera. Because of this overwhelming interest in the camera, Matthias, Bernhard and Wolfgang wanted to organize an exhibition to show off all the lomo pictures. “But first let’s start a society”, they joked. And this first joke was followed by the next: the introduction of the ‘ 10 golden rules’ . </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">The students started selling camera’s, which they bought in Russia. With the earnings they were able to pay for the lomo events. In everything they did, the community approach was key; building an inspiring and ‘happening’ society of lomography believers. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">If you buy a lomo, you don’t buy a camera, but you buy lifelong membership of the International Society of Lomography.</i> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">The Lomo Compact, the little icon camera, is a product of the Lomo factory (Leningrad Optical Mechanical Association) in St. Petersburg. The factory came into business in 1914 making optical military equipment. One of their showcase products it the world’s largest telescope, in the Caucasus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

At the end of 1993 the students came up with the idea to organize a special exhibition with 10.000 pictures from New York and 10.000 pictures in Moskow. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How cool it would be to combine ‘East and West’, or as some may think ‘ Good and Bad’ . They sent an invition to the general manager of the Lomo factory. But as the invitation was dated on the 1<sup>st</sup> of April, the people in the factory thought it was a joke, and the invitation was binned.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">The opening of the exhibition in Moskow was a hit and was broadcasted on national tv every hour. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And so the General Manager found out it hadn’t been a joke after all. He hurried to meet the students in Moskow and invited them to visit the factory. They did not know at that time, however, that a radical decision had been made about the production of the beloved camera.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">In those days things were changing rapidly in Russia. During the Gorbatsjov regime the iron curtain fell and Russia was moving away from communism towards a free economy. This had big impact on the Lomo factory. In communist days production was done at any cost, but now it had to be profitable. And as the production of the lomo camera cost more that the selling price, the factory had decided to stop production.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">The three students headed into a series of serious negatiations with the factory. The current President of the Soviet Union, Vladimir Putin, at that time deputy mayor of St. Petersburg ,played an important role. He was charmed by the enthousiastic, creative students and their passion for this little Russian camera.

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">In this digital era Lomography is a fascinating countermovement. It’s all about authenticity and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>fun. A typical lomographer is curious; wants to experience and share new things. Although lomopictures are authentic pictures, made with filmrolls and printed, you get your pictures digitally too, so sharing through internet and social media is possible. Go on the internet and you’ll be overwhelmed with the lomo activity of members from all over the world. And for all not-lomographers there are even apps that help you to give a lomo –feel to your digital pictures.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

You can buy a camera for less that 40 euro’s. The ideal beginners camera is La Sardina. The Lomography camera in Amsterdam in the 9 Straatjes sells all the camera’s and they’ll give you good advice which camera is best for you. They also organize workshops every Sunday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Asking them what the typical lomo public is, they told me it’s all kinds of people. For intstance youngsters like lomo because to them analogue photography is something completely new, and it suprises them. On the other hand professional photographers are using lomo camera’s too. To give photoshoots an authentic feel, without using Photoshop.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</a><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-no-proof: yes;">Asking them about their favorite camera Jos is all for the original Lomo Compact </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">(now known as Lomo LCA+). Laura is very enthousiastic about Sprocket Rocket, a camera with a wide-angel lens, which make’s panorama pictures. And you can choose whether you want to show the sprocket holes. Great for taking holiday pictures!</span><br />

And of course I couldn’t leave the shop without buying my own. My first lomo camera (as I know know there will be more..) is the Diana F+. A great basic camera that I can extend with accessories, such a flash or special lenses. Enough writing… I am want to get started with my camera..</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">That's the spirit of Kid President.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZwXQk2ZUpp4/USdCHnKmckI/AAAAAAAADIE/4HQC6Rs-FeA/s1600/Schermafbeelding+2013-02-22+om+11.00.51.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="182" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZwXQk2ZUpp4/USdCHnKmckI/AAAAAAAADIE/4HQC6Rs-FeA/s320/Schermafbeelding+2013-02-22+om+11.00.51.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">This lettle fellow is really amazing. In real life his name is Robby Novak. He is 8 years old from Henderson, Tennessee. He has Osteogensis Imperfecta, or Brittle Bone disease, which means he has very fragile bones and has fractures all the time. Up till now he has had more than 70 breaks. But that doesn't keep him from dancing, cause he just loves dancing.<br />
<span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Kid President is the best thing that happened in 2012. He is a really gifted kid with a mission and he's getting there. Making the world an awesome place. He says he's not 'in a party, but he <i><b>is</b></i> a party"and he wants you to be a party too.. Why not?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Watching his video's (any one of them) will make you smile. So smile, feel good, get the message and pass it on. His most popular video is the Peptalk, so let's start with that one. Keep watching till the end...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/l-gQLqv9f4o?list=SPzvRx_johoA-YabI6FWcU-jL6nKA1Um-t" width="560"></iframe></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">The energy and impact of Kid President hasn't remained unnoticed. Even President Obama has spotted the unique value, and guess what? He asked Kid President to help with the invitation for the yearly Easter Egg Roll event at the White house. And he's done a great job.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VWXAEutqoAQ" width="560"></iframe></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">I just love his Q&A video's. Have a look at this one where he answers questions from his fans. The kid is unstopable and surprisingly authentic. The things he says about grown ups in the video are spot on. He's quite right!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Tc3FPwpZ9wY" width="560"></iframe></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There is also a video to explain how it all started: The True Story of Kid President, also starring is brother in law, </span></span>Brad Montague. If you want to know more about Kid President, there is a lot of info on Wikipedia. And if you're hooked, like me, just follow <a href="http://kidpres.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">his blog</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/iamkidpresident" target="_blank">tweets</a>.<br />

So let's jump from the Siberian boots (<a href="http://beyondblythe.blogspot.nl/2013/02/slovz-new-uggs.html" target="_blank">my last blog</a>) to something colorful like slippers. And this is what I bumped into: <a href="http://www.tkees.com/" target="_blank">TKEES</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HxMegT6OGqo/UR4NaYss8_I/AAAAAAAADGg/8PGSAhrcw80/s1600/tkees.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="245" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HxMegT6OGqo/UR4NaYss8_I/AAAAAAAADGg/8PGSAhrcw80/s400/tkees.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's all about casual elegance and easy wear. For around 60 - 70 euro's you'll have a great pair of slippers in any color combination you can think of. Just the slipper you need when you are having a drink on the Pamplona Beach :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">Jesse and Carly Burnett are the drivers behind the brand. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">“The idea of a pair of flip-flops so minimal that the difference between them on and off was almost indiscernible (almost like that thin layer of sand you have on your feet after coming out of the ocean). Meanwhile, we were sitting on the beach and there was a Tiki hut, we jokingly toyed with the idea of calling the flip-flops TIKIS,” Jesse explains. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BMLrxEqh2e8/UR4P5l5LIsI/AAAAAAAADHU/KSSC2usJz6U/s1600/Schermafbeelding+2013-02-15+om+11.23.39.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BMLrxEqh2e8/UR4P5l5LIsI/AAAAAAAADHU/KSSC2usJz6U/s400/Schermafbeelding+2013-02-15+om+11.23.39.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">They eventually decided on a different spelling, because writing it like TKEES was graphically more appealing. The flip-flops were introduced in the summer of 2009 and are a celebrity favorite.</span><br />

<span style="clear: left; display: inline !important; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">Uggs is not doing too well. Sales are going down and the boots are becoming less popular. Not really suprising, because all hypes come to an end. When everyone is wearing the same thing, it's time for something new. So, although we all have one or two pairs of the warm and comfy boots, let's have a look at what's next. </span></div>
<br />
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Introducing SLOVZ</b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">: These handmade Russian boots, made of sheep wool and rubber, will keep your feet warm up to -40 degrees! There are two designs and are available for women, men and kids. Boots with a fixed sole or removable sole. With the latter you can were the shoes in home as well. And it's an all family boot, for women, men and kids.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although rather plump, they are somehow cool too. And I'm sure they'll keep my feet warm.The boots are </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">€ </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">159 (removable sole),</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">€ </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">179 (fixed sole) and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">€ </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">99 for kids, and come in natural colours (brown, beige and black). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week I visited the 'Modefabriek' in Amsterdam. Modefabriek is a two-day fashion trade show with over 600 fashion brands. There I met Camilla Salgaard, a young talented Danish fashion designer.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eHzfsmDaf3M/UQjkoVsZ_gI/AAAAAAAADEM/p4PEC12IE2I/s1600/IMG_0895.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eHzfsmDaf3M/UQjkoVsZ_gI/AAAAAAAADEM/p4PEC12IE2I/s320/IMG_0895.JPG" width="212" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Camilla was invited by the Modefabriek to show her fashion collection for autumn/winter 2013, as part of the Next platform. This is a showcase selection of notable international designer labels. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Camilla (26) received her bachelor's degree from the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design in the UK and continued with a Master at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. She was also one of the five finalists of the <a href="http://www.designer-for-tomorrow.com/" target="_blank">Designer forTomorrow</a> hosted by Marc Jacobs (Berlin Fashion week 2013).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This collection is her first and is inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Not the </span>girly<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, fairytale side of the story, but the deeper meaning of Alice's adventures. About a girl in her teens, growing up and feeling insecure about transitioning from a girl into a young women. Size and volume are two strong focus points in the overall black collection.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As stated on her own </span><a href="http://camillasalgaard.dk/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">website</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, she has a hunger for powerful garments with soul to suit the female shape. I think that's exactly what she grasped in her collection.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My favourite is the 'cadence coat'. The shape is just stunning.

However, during the trip, I only managed to read the first two chapeters. Not enough to get a real grip on the book. But now.. after the Christmas break, I'm hooked. WHAT A GREAT BOOK. A must read for everyone. Inspirational, fun and challenging. And the timing for reading was just right. Great inspiration for my New Years resolutions...<br />
<br />
So this is the book: <strong>'The Happiness Project'</strong>, by Gretchen Rubin.<br />
Gretchen describes her one-year journey to happiness. Sounds a bit fluffy, but the book is actually very practical and also contains a lot of nice to know facts. Gretchen designs her Happiness Project, by defining 12 area's that she thinks will contribute to happiness. Then she dedicates every month to one of these area's. Every chapter describes one month. She shares her experiences and anecdotes, but also information about the research that she has done about the topic. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FaVBgjeM4Jk/UO1nqW0W-OI/AAAAAAAADD4/zew7riW1c5w/s1600/happinessproject.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FaVBgjeM4Jk/UO1nqW0W-OI/AAAAAAAADD4/zew7riW1c5w/s1600/happinessproject.jpg" eea="true" /></a></div>
<br />
The power of the book is that it shows happiness is in the detail. It's not a BIG MAGIC thing that is only available for the happy few. Or something you should only strive for, if you have a crappy life. It's there for everyone and achievable for me (and you :)) too. So why not start to sing a little song in the morning and look at the impact on you kids and husband. Brilliant? I think so. Not shocking, but truely effective and doable. So just try it.<br />
<br />
If there is a special occasion, I'll give all my friends this book. It makes you happy just reading it. How simple can things be?Beyond Blythehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12167548312594725475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544213958598258972.post-64381061869135441602012-10-28T12:55:00.000+01:002012-10-28T14:02:17.222+01:00New York visitLast week I visited my brother and sister in law in Redding CT. We spent a few days at their home and then stayed in New York for a couple of days. We had a great time and I especially liked the combination of visiting the countryside (Redding) and the city. You get a full US experience, in stead of just the overwhelming hugeness of New York.<br />
<br />
So here is my top 5:<br />
<b>1: Westport CT</b><br />
Get out of New York for just one day to have a completely different experience.<br />
Take the train from NY Central Station to South Norwalk. The train ride takes 1 hour. From there it's a 15 minute drive to Compo Beach in Westport. Have a walk along the beach and enjoy the view and the beautiful houses. Then go back to the center of Westport for some shopping (10 minute drive). Lovely boutiques from Calypso, Kate Spade, Tiffany's & Co and William Sonoma. Have lunch at The Tavern on Main Street. For dinner there are excellent restaurants in South Norwalk.<br />

<b>2: Rent a bike</b><br />
Rent a bike (for instance at Blazing Saddles on Pier 78). Follow the Bike lane on the Hudson River Side and go south. Cross over to the other side through Warren Street (just follow the bike signs) and go over the Brooklyn Bridge. A magnificent experience with spectacular views. You can expand your biking trip by going through Brooklyn a bit and then go back over the Brooklyn bridge again. You could take the Manhattan bridge, but the Brooklyn Bridge is really something special and worth the double trip. Then go all the way down on Manhattan. Stop at St. Paul's Chapel and go in to see this memorial place of 9/11. Really impressive and a must do!<br />
Then continue south towards Battery Park. You could park the bikes here and take the free Staten Island Ferry for a great view on the Statue of Liberty. Then continue along the hudson river side. This is the best bit of the trip. Truely fantastic to be biking on the promenade.having the river on your left side and the view on skyscrapers on the right.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>3: St Paul's Chapel</b><br />
This place is definitely worth a visitor because of it's essential role in the 9-11 recovery works. It was a safe haven for all the fire fighters, police, construction workers and other people that were working around the clock on recovery work. A place for eating, sleeping and peace. Now it's turned into a memorial place showing the solidarity of people around the world.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>4: Highline Park</b><br />
The High Line is located on Manhattan's West Side. It runs from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District to West 34th Street, between 10th & 11th Avenues. The first section of the High Line opened on June 9, 2009. It runs from Gansevoort Street to West 20th Street. The second section, which runs between West 20th and West 30th Streets, opened June 8, 2011. It's a great place to take a step back from the huge buildings and traffic and enjoy some quiet. After having walked on the high line go to Pastis for a nice French lunch.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>5: Top of the Rock</b><br />
Although very touristic, this is an excellent place to view the city from the 70th floor. Go at the end of the day, just when the lights start to show. You will have a great view on Manhattan, showing Central Park on one side and the Empire State Building and Time Square on the other (The Empoire State building really is beautiful and a shame you can't see it when you go up there for a view). Top of the Rock is on top of the GE building (part of Rockefeller center) and reopened in 2005. Tickets are $25 or adults and $16 for kids (6-12 years). When you finish your visit, don't forget to also have a look at the Ice Rink in the Rockefeller center and you may even want to do some ice skating yourself.<br />

<br />
<b>Final shopping tips</b><br />
Of course you can do plenty of shopping in New York. There are huge department stores, like Macy's and Bloomingdales. We actually found these a bit disappointing. Not like Harvey Nichols or Harrods. Anyway there are three shops I think you shouldn't miss:<br />
<u>1: Kate Spade New York, </u>a brand that combines playfulness with elegance. I think the shop in Soho is probably the best (Broome street).<br />
<u>2: Calypso St. Barth</u>, a lovely shop for elegant cashmere and comfortable but feminine clothing. Also to be found in Soho (Broome street) and meatpacking district (Hudson street). And also in Westport.<br />
<u>3: Magnolia's Bakery,</u> for the excellent cupcakes. Just enjoy the soft and creamy taste of the cupcakes. There are several locations in the city. We had our cakes from the store on the corner of the Rockefeller centre.<br />
<u>4. American Girl Store</u>, the place to go if you have girls up to 12 years old. New York girls have birthday parties here and they take their dolls for a haircut, a new hairdo or an new outfit. Excellent toy concept by Mattel. On 5the avenue near Rockefeller center (that's why you'll see girls with dolls in the ice rink)<br />
<u>5. William Sonoma</u> for amateur cooks. Just love this shops with all the cookware and tableware. Now also shipping to Europe... (on 7th Av/16th street) and in Westport.<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zvPrrg0zZVM/UHMgF44XklI/AAAAAAAAC5A/byS8ghI1jN0/s1600/IMG_9475.JPG" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="267" width="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zvPrrg0zZVM/UHMgF44XklI/AAAAAAAAC5A/byS8ghI1jN0/s400/IMG_9475.JPG" /></a><br />
Copenhagen is a very pleasant city to go to. It has a lot of nice architecture, a rich and varied history, beautiful shops, kind people and it´s clean. I visited Copenhagen in the beginning of May and we were pleasantly suprised with the lovely weather.<br />
<br />
So here is my <b>Top 5 of Things to do </b>in Copenhagen:<br />
<b>1) Rent a bike and explore the city by bike</b><br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tCipozNJOJM/UHMpvoVUMaI/AAAAAAAAC70/yb53_7qL8hs/s1600/IMG_2173.JPG" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tCipozNJOJM/UHMpvoVUMaI/AAAAAAAAC70/yb53_7qL8hs/s320/IMG_2173.JPG" /></a><br />
<b><br />
2) Visit Christiana, the hippie town</b><br />

<br />
<br />
<b>3) Do a boattrip from Nyhaven</b> (preferably in an electrical boat) to have a nice view of the different architectural styles in the city<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>4) Visit the lovely shops in Kronprinsensgade</b>, in the city centre. <br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ETUdrQm125U/UHMq1J09XwI/AAAAAAAAC8Y/7Od5cX6ws_Q/s1600/notabenecph.jpg" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="200" width="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ETUdrQm125U/UHMq1J09XwI/AAAAAAAAC8Y/7Od5cX6ws_Q/s320/notabenecph.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
If you are preparing your visit way in advance then maybe you can arrange to eat at <a href="http://noma.dk/">Noma</a>, the worlds best restaurant.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-74YaE85VToQ/UHMiNltHq5I/AAAAAAAAC5w/lAo36yTWOZY/s1600/IMG_0905.JPG" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-74YaE85VToQ/UHMiNltHq5I/AAAAAAAAC5w/lAo36yTWOZY/s400/IMG_0905.JPG" /></a><br />
<br />
We stayed at the <a href="http://www.adina.eu/adina-apartment-hotel-copenhagen/home">Adina Apartment hotel</a>. An excellent place, a bit outside the centre of the city. We rented bikes at the hotel, which allowed us to go into the centre within 5 minutes. The rooms in the hotel were very spacious (apartment like with a kitchen) and the hotel had free wifi in the lounge area and also a fitness room and a swimming pool. We booked the hotel through booking.com <br />

<br />
We had lunch at the <a href="http://www.theroyalcafe.dk/">Royal Cafe</a> on the Amergatorv and ate Smushi's. A very nice place for a lunch or a cup of coffee. Cool interior. The smushi's look lovely, but they're not really my favorites.<br />
<br />

<br />
A great place for a drink after shopping or a light lunch. And in this area is also Illum, the big department store, with all the designer brands. A nice place shop, also in this area, is the brandstore of Acne.<br />
<br />
We loved visiting <b>Christiana</b>, the hippie town in Copenhagen. Below a picture of the living 'rules' for Christiana. It's a great colorful place.<br />

<br />
A nice restaurant is <a href="http://www.bistrobooking.dk/steak/">Madklubben</a> on the Pilestreade. A great steak restaurant. Nice staff, good atmosphere, and great food. And nicely located in the shopping area.<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XtmYa0sUHxI/UHMof7VNgwI/AAAAAAAAC7Q/fm3C60QxWWs/s1600/IMG_0961.JPG" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XtmYa0sUHxI/UHMof7VNgwI/AAAAAAAAC7Q/fm3C60QxWWs/s320/IMG_0961.JPG" /></a><br />
<br />
A suprise for us was the Abercrombie shop. We hadn't expected to find this in Copenhagen, but obviously we were wrong. Lot's of tourists carried the big bags in the streets. The 6-packs might not be as tight as in other metropolitan cities, the girls may just be a little bit plainer, but the shop was as dark and as scented as I remembered from visiting in Paris and Brussels. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nwo1yuaKLfg/UHMpFxduIaI/AAAAAAAAC7c/ox7NPxbEugc/s1600/IMG_0992.JPG" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nwo1yuaKLfg/UHMpFxduIaI/AAAAAAAAC7c/ox7NPxbEugc/s320/IMG_0992.JPG" /></a><br />
<br />
And of course we saw the Little Mermaid. And yes, it's just a tiny statue and during daytime crowded with Japanese tourists.. But early in the morning, just at dawn it did have a magical feel.<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Nm9i4mSmma8/UHMpgUQzBeI/AAAAAAAAC7o/FuX98fwvS7c/s1600/IMG_0946.jpg" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="320" width="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Nm9i4mSmma8/UHMpgUQzBeI/AAAAAAAAC7o/FuX98fwvS7c/s320/IMG_0946.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Copenhagen has some great museums too, but the weather was so great, that we chose to stay outside and enjoy the sun and the elegant and inspiring streets of the city. Just being here gives you a true sense of feel-good. <br />

I spotted lots and lots of great shoes in Paris at the Fashion Week. One thing is clear. It's all about color. For both woman and for men!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Black is always safe, but with a bit of ribbons, fur or studs still quite fashionable.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you know I was in Paris during the Haute Couture Fashion week in January. I have shared many of my pictures with you in my previous blogposts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In this post I would like to focus on just one girl. A girl that stood out from the crowd. The only thing I know is that she is English. I should have asked her name....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Please share your thoughts on her fashion style.</div>

A very authentique tiny restaurant in the 8th arrondissement.<br />
<br />
Although they had several dishes on the menu, the only one that was available was the Pot au feu. No problem, cause you really have to go for the signature dish anyway. So Pot au feu it was.<br />
<br />
We watched how two other French diners where eating their meal. How they ate the marrow with coarse salt, and the pot au feu with mustard.<br />
The meat was really juicy and tender and the vegetables - as you can expect - cooked for ages.<br />
<br />
<i>Pot au feu is an authentic French dish. A stew with chunky bits of vegetables (potato, carrot, leek) and beef. And of course the bone of marrow. A real peasant's dish.</i><br />

Daar zijn ze dan. Een kleine selectie van de foto's genomen rondom de show van <a href="http://www.dior.com">Dior</a>. Op maandag 23 januari om 14.30 uur in de Dior locatie op de Avenue Montaigne. Voordat ik me begeef in de menigte die voor de ingang hangt, eet ik een heerlijke lunch aan de overkant, bij <a href="http://www.avenue-restaurant.com/">L"Avenue</a>. Risotto met gamba's met een lekker glaasje witte wijn. Omdat het heerlijk weer is, zit ik lekker buiten. Onder de heater. Dat wel.
<br ><br />Ondertussen zie ik de mensen toestromen die alles willen meemaken bij de show van Dior. Want Haute Couture is niet niks. Top of the bill. Met mijn Iphone - ik wist nog niet wat ik kon verwachten - heb ik wat kiekjes gemaakt en geproefd van de sfeer rondom dit soort shows. Modefans uit heel Europa zijn hiervoor naar Parijs gekomen en slechts een enkeling heeft een kaart om daadwerkelijk naar binnen te gaan. Want die kaarten worden exclusief gehouden voor de vermogende clientèle en een enkele modejournalist. Het spektakel buiten was er niet minder om.
<br ><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Anna Wintour</span> raast voorbij.<br /><br />

<br ><br /><span><b>Ines de la Fressange</b></span>, muse van Chanel, is ook van de partij. Met camera. Ze bezoekt zo'n beetje alle shows deze week. Oud model, van oorsprong uit Saint Tropez is zij nu de ambassadeur van <b>'La Parisienne'</b>. Haar 'bijbel' waarin uitgelegd wordt hoe je je als echte Parisienne moet kleden, waar te winkelen en waar te eten, is niet alleen in het Frans, maar ook in het Engels verkrijgbaar. Een leuk alternatief voor alle bekende toeristische boekjes over Parijs. Aanrader dus!
<br ><br /><br ><br /> <br ><br /><br ><br /> <br ><br /><br ><br /> En dan nog een paar foto's van fashionista's en andere modefans.

Via internet heb ik de programmering gevonden. Maandagmiddag was ik bij de show van Dior in de Avenue Montaigne. Eerst lekker gelunched aan de overkant bij L'Avenue. Leuk mensen kijken vanuit het terras. Lekker onder de heater. Ongelofelijk hoe druk die tent is. Binnen helemaal vol (boven en beneden). De reuring bij de show van Dior vond ik geweldig, dus dat smaakte naar meer. Vandaar ook de show van Chanel, Ellie Saab en Jean Paul Gaultier bezocht. Helaas geen kaart om zelf naar binnen te gaan, maar de happening buiten is misschien nog wel veel leuker. Jammer genoeg laat het internet van het hotel niet toe om nu de foto's te uploaden. Maar hou het in de gaten. Ik heb heel, heel veel foto's gemaakt.<br /><br />Bij Dior heb ik Anna Wintour gezien. Bij Chanel Cameron Diaz en Ines de la Fressange (wat een elegante vrouw!!). De toppers waren bij Jean Paul Gaultier: Ines weer, maar ook Ditta von Teese (Burlesque icoon), Beth Ditto (maatje meer:)) en als hoogtepunt Catherine Deneuve. Wauw.<br /><br />Het allerleukste was de 'crowd' eromheen. Steeds dezelfde mensen. Combi van modefans en paparazzi fotografen. <br />En het weer zat mee. Hoewel elke dag regen voorspeld werd, was alleen het eind van de Chanel show een beetje nat..<br />Dus in het weekend meer foto's.Beyond Blythehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12167548312594725475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544213958598258972.post-70071781589010757972012-01-11T18:40:00.001+01:002012-01-12T16:49:59.262+01:00Heerlijke worteltaart<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-N2hGZBlWTUM/Tw3NCPubnxI/AAAAAAAAAcE/QpDF8R5kwcY/s1600/IMG_1329.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-N2hGZBlWTUM/Tw3NCPubnxI/AAAAAAAAAcE/QpDF8R5kwcY/s200/IMG_1329.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696434542158257938" /></a><br />Dit is een recept dat ik via via heb gekregen. Vanuit Amerikaanse maatgeving heb ik het vertaald naar de Nederlandse maten. Het is een taart die je helemaal kunt 'upgraden' met glacering en nootjes, of gewoon 'kaal' kunt eten, gewoon omdat hij op zichzelf al heerlijk is. Mijn dochters vinden het heerlijk om een stukje mee te nemen naar school, en ze nemen inmiddels ook stukjes mee voor hun vriendinnen...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Ingredienten:</span><br />250 ml zonnebloem olie<br />3 eieren<br />1 klein blikje ananasringen, of ananas in stukjes<br />250 ml nootjes (walnoten zijn het beste, maar kan ook een mix zijn)<br />1 theelepel kaneel<br />400 gram suiker<br />2 zakjes geraspte wortel (kant en klaar te koop in de supermarkt) <br />350 gram gezeefde bloem<br />1 theelepel bicarbonate of soda (bakpoeder is ook goed)<br />1/2 theelepel zout<br /><br />Oven voorverwarmen op 180 graden.<br />Alles door elkaar mengen en dan in een ingevet bakblik (tulband vorm is leuk als je ook de glacering doet) doen. <br />Het blik in de oven doen en ongeveer 1 uur laten bakken. Met 50 minuten even checken met een sateprikker. Komt hij er droog uit, dan kun je de oven uitzetten. Ik laat de cake er dan nog wel inzitten, dan gaart hij nog een beetje na. Als je bang bent dat hij al te droog is, dan uit de over halen.<br />Als je de glacering gaat doen, moet de cake koud zijn.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Glacering:</span><br />1 ei-geel<br />90 gram (zachte) roomboter<br />1/2 theelepel vanille essence<br />90 gram roomkaas (Philadelphia)<br />180 gram poedersuiker<br />eventueel 1 theelepel kaneel<br />een paar hele walnoten<br /><br />Klop het ei-geel op en meng het met de roomboter, vanille essence, roomkaas en poedersuiker. Dit wordt een heerlijke crème. Dit verspreid je met een spatel over de cake. Daarna maak je het af met een aantal mooie halve walnoten her en der.<br /><br />Eet smakelijk!Beyond Blythehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12167548312594725475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544213958598258972.post-79413378699239740122011-12-11T16:31:00.000+01:002011-12-11T17:03:40.222+01:00Kerstrecept: Hazenrugfilet met wildsaus en cranberrychutney<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qNQUaExRO2U/TuTQAXraW5I/AAAAAAAAAb4/5UglNrQP_zA/s1600/IMG_1405.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qNQUaExRO2U/TuTQAXraW5I/AAAAAAAAAb4/5UglNrQP_zA/s200/IMG_1405.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684897334423083922" /></a><br />Graag deel ik dit recept met jullie. Ik zou meedoen met Herman zoekt kerststerren, maar qua planning lukte het niet. Ik heb het de afgelopen maand keer op keer gekookt om het recept te verfijnen. Het is dus gegarandeerd succes. En echt een kerstgerecht. <br />Ook lekker erbij en leuk voor de kleur zijn haricots verts met pancetta. Beetje traditioneel, maar wel lekker.<br /><br />Eet smakelijk!<br /><br />Verwarm de oven voor op 160 graden.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Wildsaus:(30 minuten)</span><br />200 ml rode wijn<br />200 ml rolde port<br />200 ml wilffond<br />fijngesnipperd sjalotje<br />jeneverbessen<br />tijm<br />rozemarijn<br />1 theelepel maisena<br /><br />Voeg de rode wijn, de port, de rozemarijn en tijm en het fijngesneden slalotje in een pan en laat het inkoken tot de helft. Voeg dan de jeneverbessen en de wildfond toe en kook het weer in tot de helft. De saus moet nu dikker van structuur zijn en sterk van smaal. Eventueel een beetje water toevoegen. Aan het eind de maisena (opgelost in een beetje water) toevoegen en even mee laten koken tot het juiste dikte heeft.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Cranberrychutney: (5 minuten)</span><br />Bak verse cranberries<br />1 sinaasappel<br />50 ml wijnazijn<br />kaneelstokje of theelepel kaneel<br />150 gram suiker<br />kruidnagels<br />jeneverbessen<br /><br />Rasp de schil van de sinaasappel (ongeveer een halve). Voeg dit samen met de cranberries, de suiker, de wijnazijn, kruidnagel en het kaneelstokje in een pannetje en breng het aan de kook. Laat het langzaam doorkoken totdat de cranberries ‘gepopt’ zijn.

Noosa. Bracelets and belts that you can decorate with chunks. To me it seemed like just another one of those things. Like charms, or beads. A new brand trying to build on the success of collecting to create your own jewelry.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ldVLmytMp68/TuCPXbl2NMI/AAAAAAAAAbE/pGHtMwjh91k/s1600/noosa%2Bbracelet%2B2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 216px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ldVLmytMp68/TuCPXbl2NMI/AAAAAAAAAbE/pGHtMwjh91k/s320/noosa%2Bbracelet%2B2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683700362447828162" /></a><br /><br />But, after having googled a bit, and learning more about what it is, I really think this is somehting different. It's not just one of those things, but it has great potential and is really fun.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The concept is truly simple. You buy a leather bracelet or belt with press-studs. Then you buy 'chunks' to press on the studs. <br />There are about 100 different chunks and they all have a meaning. Which gives the bracelet or belt much more depth, than just something that looks nice.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.noosa-amsterdam.nl">So have a look yourself.</a><br /><br />I have bought a bracelet for my daughter for christmas. Which three chuncks, especially selected for her. A great gift.<br /><br />And I am definitely going to buy one for myself.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TsWVxpZV2ns/TuCPesgoU4I/AAAAAAAAAbU/I8McGcebYQQ/s1600/noosa%2Bchunks.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TsWVxpZV2ns/TuCPesgoU4I/AAAAAAAAAbU/I8McGcebYQQ/s320/noosa%2Bchunks.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683700487248434050" /></a>Beyond Blythehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12167548312594725475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544213958598258972.post-89097789195436802422011-07-24T20:06:00.000+02:002011-07-24T21:05:32.526+02:00Are there angels out there?Friday evening. Great spur of the moment thing. I met a friend and asked her to come for a drink in the evening. Invited another friend as well, and both of them came with their husbands. We had a great evening.<br />At 21.30 rumours started. A car with 5 people in it, had a accident, having drunk too much probably, just about 500 meters from our home. <br />Then Utoya happened. What a mad world we are in. And them Amy died. <br />But also something that is very close to me. My 99 year old auntie. She is having her last moments. Having been a nun all her life, she is very much used to a sober life. And healthy. Her mind is just not ready to stop. I went to visit her this weekend with my two daughters who both have warm feelings towards my auntie. They still hope that she will live to be 100 years old.<br />I told her that is was ok. That she can say goodbye and go to my grandma in heaven, but she said that it will probaby take a while. Although her body is giving up, her mind is strong and somehow she wants to keep holding on.<br /><br />What can you say. I just hope that heaven is a great place, and that it gives all of us, who are taken to the other side, the possibility to act as angels to guide us in our earthly escapades.Beyond Blythehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12167548312594725475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544213958598258972.post-67500890118961450822011-03-16T12:10:00.000+01:002011-03-16T12:15:03.818+01:00My thoughts are with the people in JapanThese are hard times.
