If dainty jewellery is your thing, you will be delighted to discover this chic and understated Parisian line, Trois Petits Points. We first came across these elegant, feminine rings in Frederiksberg, Denmark, just before Christmas last year; the boutique carried a tiny collection of them. Luckily, while enjoying Le Marais in Paris last weekend,  we walked right into Trois Petits Points Paris, with many more choices (and better prices, too) to indulge in. Heaven. Enjoy your weekend !

BLCK Reunion 2014

It's been one year since our last BLCK reunion, in Copenhagen, and in 2014 we decided to meet in the City of Light and indulge in all things french. Starting with our very french hotel right in the city centre - Splendid Hotel Etoile, which was splendid indeed, with a gorgeous view of the Arc de Triomphe. There was great food (Le Pain Quotidien with its generous, decadent breakfast, Laduree macaroons on Champs-Elysees), champagne, a trip to the shopping mecca (Galeries Lafayette, while next time we will also visit Merci and Colette), tons of sightseeing, from Eiffel Tower to Monmartre to Notre Dame de Paris, Tuileries Gardens, Pont Neuf, with a long walk through a hip Le Marais district. But most important, here we were again, altogether, celebrating our friendship after 20 years since we first met. 

Have a happy summer !

Paris, here we come !!!

Oatmeal Cocoa Cookies

Looking for some homemade alternative to the store-bought cookies? Check out the latest super easy, delicious recipe from our favourite Danish blog Cute Carbs: we adapted it a little, adding less sugar and substituting oats with muesli (a much crunchier mix). You will be done in under 20 min. Enjoy the cookies and sunny weekend. We are off to the next BLCK reunion, this time in Paris !

Copenhagen In the Sun

There is no better place we can think of, than Copenhagen - when the sun is shining, that is. Everyone looks happy, relaxed, grilling outside on their terraces or enjoying the bloom in Copenhagen parks. And if you are looking for a cool new place to enjoy chilled rose and some food with it, try Grill Royal on Kongens Nytorv: excellent burgers, moules marinieres and beef, plus a cozy setting. To wind down at night, bring your wine outside to the terrace and enjoy some of the best Belgian chocolates (we got the prettiest box straight from Brussels!). Have a great sunny week.

Good Food

Good food is as essential to our well-being as, say, sunny weather on a weekend, going on vacation, a good morning kiss. It was therefore such a delight to experience all the excellent food italian Monza has to offer, while visiting it on business last week. Breakfasts and dinners in Monza were the highlights of this business trip. If you happen to be there, for business or pleasure, ensure to book a table at Oppio Osteria: unforgettable experience and truly THE best tiramisu we've ever eaten. Happy sunday !
