25 Facts About Me on My 25th Birthday So, today I’m a quarter of a century old. Say what!? Anyway, as I really don’t want to think about time and how quickly it flies by (as I get so freaked out, it’s kinda surreal) – today I decided to go light, bright and happy and share with you a few facts about my not-so-young self. OUTFIT:PANTS: RIVER ISLAND MOLLY SLASH (HERE)JACKET: TOPSHOP DOUBLE COLLAR BLAZER (HERE)TOP: BALMAIN COTTON TEE (HERE)BAG: DEKORA CONCEPT STORE NICKEL TOTE (HERE) / GIVENCHY ‘PANDORA’ TOTE (HERE)SHOES:LORIBLU POINTED BLACK AND BLUE SUEDE PUMP (HERE)WATCH: DANIEL WELLINGTON CLASSIC SOUTHAMPTON LADY (HERE)SHADES: TIFFANY & CO. CATEYE SUNGLASSES (HERE) 1. I’m 5’2” = 160 cm 2. All of my friends call me Eti … it’s pronounced ‘Ettie’ and at the age of 25 I decided to Google it! It turns out that according to the Persians – it means a ‘star’ and refers to the planet Venus and Babylonian goddess of love. No wonder why I’m so keen on the topic of love. 3. I’m shortsighted – so if you ever see me jump behind the wheel without my glasses – just … DO NOT GET IN. I’m serious. Otherwise, I’m hell of a good driver, I’ve been told. AND if you disagree – I’m not giving you a lift! 4. I have sweet tooth… honestly, I even like my salads sweet. 5. I’m left-handed and have the weirdest handwriting EVER… it always ends up looking different… And when it comes to signing papers in the bank – they always make me do it over and over again until my signature actually starts resembling the ‘artsy’ one I’ve used on my ID. So, yep, despite my 20 or so years of effort to polish it and make it all fancy and…
NEW LIFE – NEW RIDEIt’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!

CATEYE SUNGLASSES (HERE) 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…
Thélo Goes Roman DressHey peeps!Can you believe the weather? It’s been so warm lately and what better excuse to lay my hands on some brand new SS15 attire? OUTFIT: ROBERT MATTHEW TOTE (HERE) THELO WHITE TUNIC (HERE) KG by KURT GEIGER BAILEY NUDE HEELED SHOES (HERE) RALPH LAUREN SHADES (HERE Especially as I’m moving to Copenhagen in a few days, where the weather would certain require some badass layering, I just had to take advantage of the sun and go all summary and light while I still had the chance. And there I was on my way to Tribe Music Studio, where my YouTube Trailer is currently being edited, rocking my brand new white tunic by Thélo. I was so impressed by the brand’s latest collection! The designs of the talented Marija Andonova are inspired by the softness and delicacy of the free-flowing Roman Dress, with signature pieces – the layered tunic and sheer toga. For the construction of the ten dresses, she has sticked to the traditional for the Roman Dress lightweight & delicate fabrics linen & silk, gracefully arranging them in loose drapes and folds which makes them the perfect choice for the hot summer days. And seriously, how could you not feel like a Roman Goddess wearing such a pretty piece? If you’re interested in finding more about Thélo’s SS15 Collection you can have a sneak peek at gorgeous their LookBook here. To add some colour to the innocent white, I went for my mint green tote and beige stilettos. And if you feel like experimenting – you can also go for a tunic dyed in green. And if you’re still not convinced in mint – the other day a friend of mine decided to engage in some quirky DIY-ing, leaving his dark green shorts wash with some of his white trousers and…

Current Beauty Obsessions: L’Oréal Paris Color Riche Brow Artist Designer I’ve been quite into ‘the nude face and dark lip’ look lately which isn’t much of a surprise especially if you’ve been keeping up-to-date with my instagram.I’ve always regarded my eyelids as not well-suited for eyeshadow and thick eyeliner, and I’d go for the dramatic smokey eye only if I’m about to attend......

A Letter to My Ambitious Self Hey you, Did you sleep well? Who am I fooling? Of course you didn’t. You were way too worried that I wouldn’t wake up on time to do all the things that we’d planned for the day. For ‘Sun’day. You were highly aware that I had to get up early and tick quite a few things off......
A Day-To-Night Outfit and the ‘Hug Me’ Poncho Trend With my hectic work schedule I often end up staying out until late at night.
