Scandinavian Summer

Emma — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 10:21:34 +0000

I just got home from a holiday on the finnish west coast with my family. It’s a place called Skaftung in the swedish part of Finland where we go every year. Everyone speak a “version” of swedish, like a dialect. Have u ever seen Moomin you know what I’m talking about ;-) We went boating, swimming, fishing, had a lot of good food and wine, did some shopping, played a lot of cards etc. It was so nice and relaxing, I really love going there. It’s one of my favorite places in the world.

From Greece With Love

Miss Objective — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 13:14:12 +0000

This morning very early in the a.m. we left our Greek village and found us self south bound. We had breakfast at some random little tavern at the beach we discovered by coincidence and we dipped in the ocean before the eggs were ready and the oranges were squeezed into glasses. Then we took off again until we hit our destination Aquila Atlantic Hotel.

It is a little taste of paradise here. But after breakfast and check in, I was in a weird place emotionally and physically. Like out of my zone. I didn’t remember my dreams from last night, which I usually do, and I felt uneasy and off on different levels. Is it a female thing or is it just a ‘thing’ that happens to you some days? I have no clue. but it wasn’t until I sat down in the hotel bar and engaged in conversation with the locals that I forgot about my own pathetic pitty party and snapped out of it. Whatever ‘it’ was, it decided to leave me alone. But I sense a change of pace in and around me. Like my body needs to decompose, recuperate and it asks for some time to do so right here and right now…. I’m old enough to know that a struggle is a struggle lost. The body is always wiser than the mind and ego. So all I can do is give in and let go…

I bid you a good night from Greece…

Taking it Down a Notch

Miss Objective — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 18:19:42 +0000

Mid July came around. Man, did the time since Christmas just fly like a G5 or what? I can’t believe I left wonderful and high paced NYC less than 5 days ago. It seems like months have passed in no time. I said goodbye to NYC only to spend one day and night in sleepy and heat-struck Copenhagen with my family and friends before I repacked my bags and headed to Greece with another part of my family. For those not familiar with my domestic status I have a rather large family pretty much spread all over the world.

However, there was some sort of strike in Greece, which made our journey south bound a hassle to say the least. Soooo much time waisted in airports….. Gosh! I’m thrilled that the Pinot Grigio is drinkable at the Italian place in the airport of Copenhagen.

Anyways, now we are here under the Greek sun right at the beach smothered in spf 50, moussaka and no internet or phone reception. Talking about taking it down a notch – anyone….??? I, still being some sort of jet-lagged between LA, NYC, CPH and Greece time zones get up at the crack of dawn to jog and swim. Since there is absolutely nothing else to do here at this hour it has become my ambition to get into bad-ass shape before I hit the West Coast again mid August.

This afternoon I escaped from more group activities and online celibacy and I strayed off like a guilty male cat from the pack with my newly acquired golden Marc Jacobs lab-top bag under my arm to find the local bar ‘Bossa Nova’ (yes, that’s the hot spot here) where they serve other food than Moussaka and more importantly; they have wireless.

So from all of us here in The Mediterranean to all of you in the different time zones… Sunshine, feta, hairy backs, love, light, moussaka and blessing…

I’m wearing: Object dress, Object tank top, Chanel Purse, vintage jewelry, vintage shades

Thank God for ‘photo booth’ on my MAC..

… I got some pink theme going on or what…?

A Mansion in The Hamptons

Miss Objective — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 22:48:56 +0000

From bad-ass Rock’n’Roll to Super deluxe!

Yesterday we left the laid back Montauk way of living to test out another type of lifestyle in Bridge Hampton. Here, we were invited to stay in the most gorgeous 20+ bedroom mansion owned by a friend of a friend. 3 other girls came out from Manhattan to double the party, we took a peak in the wine cellar and … ha ha … well… the day became one long bliss under the sun in the chilled pool.

Later the 2 guys , who take care of the house came to pick us up and we went to the private beach with food, more wine and lit up a bonfire. The guys are from Brazil so they danced capoeira and taught us samba. Today I’m really happy it was just us at the beach. We must have been a sight for sore eyes…

Later again we went back to the house and jumped in the pool and jacuzzi.

That was one amazing day with the girls!!!!

I have a couple of more hours here and then I’m Manhattan bound.

Tine chilling poolside in Missoni of course…

4th of July

Miss Objective — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 17:14:20 +0000

I arrived yesterday late afternoon in Montauk and checked into the old school ’shabby-chic’ hotel called Memory Motel. Hot spot in the 70’s for peeps like The Rolling Stones, Warhol and the likes. Now…. ha ha …. well, the new owners are these cool, young guys who know what’s up. they took over the joint one month ago, but they have decided to wait with the whole renovation process till December. So, the rooms are very ‘authentic’. I have absolutely no problem with this ‘realism’. On the contrary. I think it’s very rock’n’roll. And anyways, who wants to stay in their room when the beach is miles of pure white sand and deep, blue waves.

On 4th of July I hosted a party out here and it got pretty insane after 1 a.m. More than a 1000 peeps showed up and 2 bands performed.

The next morning my 2 girls Giada and Tine came out from Manhattan. They woke me up and dragged me straight down to the beach where we jumped right into the waves. Soooo amazing and way warmer than the Pacific. Then we went for lunch in Montauk Habour and caught up on all the gossip that has been going down since May over a bottle of Sancerre.

Here are a couple of shots …

Summer’s travel tip – Isle of Capri

Emma — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 22:16:24 +0000

[ Via Le Journal Noir ]

If you’re in a relationship and looking for a special non typical tourist place to go for the summer I can highly recommend the Italian island Capri, a picturesque lux-bohemian paradise in southern Italy. I was there some years ago with a girlfriend, and even though we had a blast I would say it’s better suited for couples. So if you’re planning going somewhere with your boyfriend/girlfriend and you guys haven’t really made up your mind about where to go – go to Capri :) It’s breathtakingly beautiful.

All work and still play?

Lise — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 15:34:08 +0000

My Capetonian friend Jaco shot a David Guetta music video last fall. On Ibiza. Of course I thought it was cheasy to work with D.G but still – I was sitting back in becoming-pretty-cold Berlin. No 28 degrees, no pool, no hot guys and no exotic drinks while working.

My other friend Lone spends every summer on Ibiza working with communication for We Love Space. From May till June.

Audrey on the other hand works for Shiseido and spends alot of time on planes – inbetween Berlin, Brussels, Paris, London. Seems she likes flying because when she’s not working she’s on the plane to Barcelona, Miami, Rumania and Ibiza to attend all sorts of parties and events – always visiting friends.

My point is: I need to work on my set-up here!!

Work Hard Play Hard

Miss Objective — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 08:29:01 +0000

feel like such a lucky biatch. Just spent the most amazing week Nica style; working hard, playing hard and getting paid to do so. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Now I’m in the airport in Managua waiting for my flight back to LA LA LAND. I start shooting my next thing very soon so I need to get out of the beach mode and back on LA LA track since my first important meetings begin tomorrow in the early a.m.

For those who have never been in Nicaragua I can only recommend it. It is a surfer’s paradise. Period. this is the place to peace out and just wait for off shore winds and spot the next big, glassy wave to ride. Nature is beyond control beautiful and it’s dirt cheap to live there compared to Costa Rica for instance where I was a couple of years back. Nicaragua is way more remote if you are into the whole ‘no tourist kinda thing’, which I prefer.

Here are a couple of random Nica shots:

Nicaragua Love

Miss Objective — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 06:14:30 +0000

2 days have flown by now since I arrived in Nicaragua and I’m smitten by it’s imperfect beauty, smell, atmosphere and vibe. This is a chilled place if I ever saw one… No stress, but a lot of rum, ripe fruits, gorgeous people and sun. Perfect!

We have spent the last 2 days in Granada shooting and sight seeing. One night some of us went down to the local school Clarita Feliz founded and managed by Peter Kolind where we helped serve food for the poorest of the children in the community. This particular night there were about 450 children sitting at the tables waiting to be fed. Sometimes there are hundreds more. While they wait for dinner to be cooked some of the children put on shows on a small stage for entertainment. It was a touching and intense experience. For many of these kids this meal is the only meal they get each day.

Then I’ve been out sailing on Lake Nicaragua – the 7th largest lake in the world with fresh water sharks and tons of islands. You can actually buy your own island if you please. 30.000 – 150.000 usd for your own piece of land in the middle of the lake. Very exclusive… except, it’s hard to bring water to the island, which makes it hard to live out there.

I’m leaving Granada in an hour and headed to the beach, but here are some photos in random order from my experiences…

Psst – the pink tank top is from Object

Between Moods

Miss Objective — Thu, 20 May 2010 00:12:54 +0000

Ocean View from Gilleleje (Denmark)

I always find it weird when I leave LA to go to Copenhagen. On one hand it’s the best, but on the other it’s tough to adjust into the atmosphere, temperature and pace of my old home town. The same goes when I leave Copenhagen to go back to LA. It’s a change of gears and I guess because parts of me belong both places it will always be like this. Split emotions and limbo love.

Right now I’m blogging from 35.000 feet in the air somewhere between Atlanta and Los Angeles and I’m trying to prep myself for the endeavors that begin tomorrow already.

I’m invited to what ‘they’ call the biggest Spring event in LA. It’s the annual Maxim Hot 100 Award where the hottest chicks in the world are celebrated. Have I found the dress, the shoes, the look yet?… Not in a million, but what else is new he he ;-)

However, I will make sure to take loads of pictures and let you all in on the gossip from the party. Since the press is not allowed beyond the red carpet my G9 and I are going to have ourselves a blast…
