It?s such a beauty, isn?t it? Especially with its nude kind of pinky colour that goes perfectly well with my trench. But let?s snap back to reality, shall we? NO matter how big of a fan of the retro cars I might be, I?m still quite far from actually owning one. And an Oldsmobile? Well, come on!

So, as I?ve mentioned on a numerous occasions on snapchat (follow me: antoinette.pepe for daily vlogs) I?ve found it incredibly difficult to get to places on time as a pedestrian. Honestly, using public transportation/taxis here in Copenhagen isn?t really the cleverest (and cheapest) thing to do. And especially if you EVER wanna fit in – just go an treat yourself with a bicycle already. Anyway..
Guess what. Last week WE FOUND IT. THE BIKE. MY BIKE. MYYYYY BRAND NEW (okay, second hand) RIDE. But it?s okay as that?s how you get a bike here. You go to a store in NØrrebro (pretending to be all hipster and s***), have a look around the main room and cheekily examine the bikes, now and then nodding in approval pretending you?re not at all bothered by the sky high prices. And all of that until you finally get into a conversation with the shop owner, who, if you?re lucky, ahem and charming enough (hehe), takes you to the backyard and lets you check out his collection of second-hand bikes. And that?s precisely how F. and I found mine. Okay, how F. found mine! Thank you :*! Haha.
And even though I?m more than happy to finally own a bike (which saves me around an hour and a half a day), I still cannot get my head around the fact how much my life has changed over the last few weeks. Instead of driving around all comfortably seated in my warm car, I?m now slooooooowly (and rather clumsily) riding my city bike with my hair getting in no time messy & filthy. Such a bliss, eh? So, yeah, the days of me stepping all dolled-up out of my flat are long in the past, and today you?ll mostly see me (if you recognise me…aw the blissful life as an expect) rocking my hair up in a MEEEEESSEEEEEEY bun and my foundation all over the face. Yep, a few weeks ago I started cooking up a new life here, and I guess it?s time for me to get over my self and forget about being that vain: as in Copenhagen being vain is just you being completely insane (more about my first impressions of the place – here)? Anyway, I will leave you to it as I?m now off to cycle back home and get whistled a million times by the proper cyclists, who just DO NOT tolerate being slowed down by someone with a more than poor riding skills.
Aw well, wish me luck!
P.S. Any thought on my lovely bike? Come on – don’t be shy. Cannot wait to hear what you think.
