Goons got it covered

I'm pretty recent to the iPhone gang.  Now, I feel like my phone is my 3rd arm. I mean, how great is that timer for perfect poached eggs?

But seriously, it's all about the cover right? The kind folks at Caseable contacted me and very nicely offered me a personalised case for my new baby.  I went for a fancy diamond print with my "personal" #hashtag #goonsquad. (I use it a lot on instagram, we can be friends, I'm "@fayoonao").

Thursday as the new Friday

Thursday is known as little Friday here in Denmark. Therefore, have a beer with a straw.

It's not as big a deal as Friday, but you know, what the heck, it is almost the weekend.  Danish lifestyle, it's been almost a year and it just gets better.

Mit nyt par støvler

Oh Copenhagen.  You make it really hard to love the city when you are so dark and snowy and everyone is hibernating. Spring comes, but it is a fickle spring.  Still snowy, still needing wear that winter coat. And then spring really hits.  Everyone wakes up and is smiling. I just want to wear things that can help me gain freckles (as much as my SPF25 allows).  There is a need to be practical though.  It isn't going to stop raining. I often make the mistake of wearing shoes while cycling that lead to cold wet toes.  
Introducing my new boots.

Perfect for work, as they have a comfortable heel but sturdy enough so I can bike there real fast so I'm not late.  A beautiful shade of bottle green. Closed toes.  I bought these babies at Samsøe Φ Samsøe sample sale for only 200kr (around 20quid!).  I'm really getting into Scandi-cool chic and have been making an effort to add some "local" brands into my wardrobe.

On a side note, how great is this selfie? I look like a cast-out from All Saints who literally couldn't make the shot.  
Speaking of #selfies, I wrote about them over on my new blog Fashpacksocialclub.  FBSC is written by me and my unbelievably cool colleague Sophie as part of our working life as social media gals.  If you enjoy social media, working, fashion, me and general goodtimes, you may just enjoy this.

I had a birthday once

In true Fiona-fashion, I have managed to make myself immobile due to a freak dancing incident where my knee just went pop.  So rather than be out and enjoying the sunshine, I'm strapped up in a splint and watching 30 Rock.  
It was my birthday 2 weeks ago, I turned 26.  If you told me ten years ago I would have spent the weekend of my 26th birthday with a bunch of great people in Copenhagen with a scalp full of glitter, I wouldn't have been surprised. But it still doesn't take away from what a great birthday it was. I celebrated with my friends in my dining room drinking whiskey and talking nonsense.  Here is a selection of the greatest hits from my phone photo gallery of the #goonsquad #birthdayweekend (more after the jump).

InstaFUN // fayoonao

 photo instacollage1_zps0d726155.png
I've fallen hard and fast for instagram.  Self-indulgent food shots, #catwang, even more self indulgent pictures of myself, art, (dreaded) graffiti and so much more. I'm @fayoonao and here is a specially curated taster of what my inspirational instagram delivers on an almost daily basis.

Remember, you are beautiful.  In Danish, du er smuk.

Other people's pictures //

The great thing about technology these days is that you can instantly share and upload your pictures/thoughts/emojis onto a sharing platform faster than you can say "what's your twitter handle?".  (Did I mention you can see my insta-photography over on my brand new Instagram, @fayoonao?) However, some of the magic of waiting for development and printing of photographs makes pictures that bit more exciting. The uncertainty of whether or not they will come out.

Some of Iris's pictures that I really like and fancied sharing on an online platform
When I was last visiting my former lover London, my dear friend Iris and I had an adventure around the East End and we played with her nice camera. I forgot that we had taken pictures, and it was a joy to find them in my inbox.

Iris on the phone wearing my favourite yellow coat of hers.  I'm hanging out in the grey at Boxpark, in a coat that I loved but since wearing it solidly all winter I now want to burn it.
Thank you Iris for the pictures.
