Lines Repeated, Steps Retraced

Dress: Vintage
Cardigan: H&M
Shoes: New Looks
Bag: ebay
Locket: gift

On our second trip of the trip, we had the early afternoon in Copenhagen and then we had to catch the train over to Malmo in Sweden. For the afternoon we headed to an area called Nyhavn which is basically a little canal with lots of boats and restaurants lining the pavements. I love these brightly painted houses that line the street and the vibe there was pretty laid back.


We got an ice cream after these photos were taken and then headed back to the train station. The train journey was ridiculous, it took half an hour and we went over the Oresund bridge. I don't know how to do all the swedish characters in blogger, so sorry for my incorrect Swedish grammar! It was a lovely view as we went over the bridge and then suddenly we were in Sweden. Very surreal! We checked into our lovely hotel and then went exploring around some of the squares that were right near our hotel. A gorgeous and expensive dinner was consumed in Victors in Lila Torg, we were too tired to search out somewhere cheaper, and I'd definitely reccomend it!

I picked this dress up the day before we left actually. We had to go to London to spend the night at my dad's house as he was driving us to the airport so we went to the East End Thrift Store, famed for their jumble sale parties, for a little browse. I picked up so much stuff I liked in there, the store seemed to be divided into one section expensive and one cheap. I found a gorgeous blanket cape but it was in the expensive side so I passed. Luckily, this dress was in the cheap side. I might still head back and hope the cape is still there.

We didn't go to Tivoli Gardens as we heard it was overpriced to a ridiculous extent but I liked this sign that they had outside. We watched the crazy tall rides from the street and I'm kinda glad we didn't go in because I don't cope well with heights. It looks pretty fun nonetheless.
