for clothes i prefer illum, or at least the layout. but magasin have a faaaaar superior beauty hall . there are lots of great boutiques too. copenhagen is so underrated for shopping, it's actually rather fabulous

[sweetlove]

Cool, I'm looking forward to it. Now the only problem is to get whatever I buy home again, lol.

[annanas]

hahah bring empty longchamps le pliage bags!

and remove tags from everything

[sweetlove]

Haha yeah. I'm considering getting a pegase 60 or 70 there, but then I'll take the train or boat home so I won't have to check it in, haha.
I'm actually semi-worried about the tags and stuff, because when I was there almost a year ago, I spent quite a lot of money and brought my new stuff home in my new keepall and had two huge gucci bags on the side and nothing happened, but after reading about american tPF'ers meeting with customs on the way home from abroad has scared me a bit.. Of course, if I'm really paranoid, I'll mail the reciepts home and claim it's old/fake, but I guess that will be a problem to worry about later.
God, I love shopping in Køben

[annanas]

hahah don't say it's fake, they'll confiscate it you shouldn't have too much trouble i don't think..

what would you use a pegase that big for though? you'd never check it in and with the handluggage rules becoming what they are you could only ever use it if you had a private plane

or on boats of course

i don't think norwegian customs could be nearly as scary as american customs if they tried though!

oh, I always forget that not all of europe is customs free (lol, and I'm a law student, I really should get myself together )

i really like café norden even though it's a bit touristy (they have cute waiters ), but i should spread my wings a little..

ooh and there are good restaurants and some nice bars, but i'll do some research before the meet you know, so you can have a good time

Annanas I go to café norden only to see the waiters....

[annanas]

hahah

well until norway decide not to keep all their oil money to themselves they'll have to pay customs!

but don't you have an lv in oslo now? is it that much more expensive?

i went there today and

you must let me know the next time you're here and we can go together!

[mellecyn]

Could I join you girls ???
Like in late spring time when CPH is not as cold....
I don't know much about the names of the shops but I certainly do know the best clubs !!!

[sweetlove]

To be honest, I don't think customs cares too much about designer goodies - fake or not, and we're not in the EU, so I'm not sure if they would've confiskated it, but I'd rather not risk it, so maybe I'll just take everything through and hope they don't notice me.
I've been wondering about the pegase thing too, because I really want it, and I've wanted it for a looong time, but I don't check in LV and I probably won't have a private jet in the near future, lol, and when I take the train I usually don't need a big suitcase, so it would probably end up collecting dust in my closet, but it's so pretty of course, I could always get the 50 which is apparently carry-on size. but oh well, that time, those worries. Customs tend to be nice here anyways I think/hope.

[sweetlove]

mellecyn yay! the more the merrier!

Yeah, we have LV in Oslo (I haven't been there yet though, but it looks nice), so I don't think I'll buy too much in copenhagen as I've heard they have some stupid credit card fee in .dk that charges foreigners 5% of what they paid for or something, but the SA's there are *cute* so I definately want to get something there

ooooh yay!

of course you can!

and sweetlove... i really think you should get the 50.. much better than it collecting dust! and it's cheaper so you could get an extra cadena or something in hermès

[sweetlove]

oh, and clubbing sounds cool! I'll probably have to stay in .dk for at least 24 hours to be enabled to duty free-things, and I'll probably go to the tivoli and meet up with some other people when I'm there as well, but clubbing is always welcomed.
Anybody know some good, affordable hotels there?
