25. Wishful Wednesday.

10 things I can't stop thinking about.

I’m not great at boundaries. Never were. For as long as I can remember I have studied, worked or generally done too much. It’s not that I’m consciously self-sabotaging, rather that I get so consumed by the things I love that it takes up most of my thoughts and time. It’s a lifestyle I love, letting my passions expand as much as possible, maximising my own capability and schedule, doing things according to my flow and impulses. Filling my life (to the brim) with things I love makes me feel alive like few other things can and gives me deep meaning. In periods this lifestyle is, as you can imagine, tricky to get to coexist with the real world – picking up groceries, cooking dinner, cleaning the apartment or even just answering texts from friends. It probably sounds a bit spoiled, but there it is. My biggest emotional struggle in life. As I have grown older I have become better at juggling these things, yet it still gets me. Lately work has expanded a lot. Analysing the AW26 runways shows, reflected on zeitgeist, color tendencies… Call it my personal Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole. Yet other things have sort of been put on pause. Like this newsletter. So, to ease into it again, without too much fuss, here is a simple Wishlist Wednesday for you – 10 things that is on my mind. Enjoy dear friends.

1. Skirt Suits

The one thing I can’t get out of my mind – a matching jacket and a knee length skirt. Yes, it’s very much thanks to Mr Blazy at Chanel but also the 80’s trend that has a hold of us – so chic. Toteme charcoal melange suit set. Chanel chocolate brown set. Chanel beige checked set. Dagmar leather set.

2. Chanel Heels

While we’re on the topic of Chanel – they released Mattieu Blazy’s first collection last week in Paris and I apparently it was total mayhem in stores. I desperately want a pair of heels – such a beautiful reinterpretation of the brand’s heritage.

3. A Great Necklace

We just released a beautiful pearl necklace at ARKET. I just ordered both the white and black one – such a simple yet impactful piece to add to your outfit this spring.

4. Sculptures

My dear friends at Galerie Storm have done it yet again – the plaster sculpture Resting Nude is a true beauty. It would look completely divine on the window pane in our living room…

5. Neutral Sticky-Notes

Call me a nerd, but ever since I got a pretty notebook (best thing I have gotten myself in years btw) I have a thing for sticky-notes. Obviously I can’t stand the neon ones, so beige ones or these transparent ones are my go-to. Love them!

6. Spring Flats

Few things give me butterflies like thinking about spring weather, swept streets (if you’re a Swede you know what I mean) and open shoes. Oh the joy! Softly unconstructed ballerina ARKET, glossy leather ballerinas Toteme, soft lace-up shoes á la Celine Massimo Dutti and last but def not least – dreamiest loafers that just came back in stock.

7. Visor Sunglasses

I’m not the one for to extreme sunglasses. However, did you see the AW26 visor sunnies from Celine? As fashion is going more classic and somewhat ladylike, more edgy accessories are key to keep the look contemporary.

8. Hydrating Super-Serum

I love serums. being a person with very dry skin, especially as season shifts, hydration is my numer one go-to. So, imagine my excitement when the amazing team at Verso sent me their newest deeply hydrating serum Super Eco Soothe Serum. Filled with exosomes and niacinamide it plumps, soothe and hydrates the skin. I’ve only used it for a few days, but I saw and more importantly felt a difference in my skin after just a night. Adding it to my favourites directly.

9. Braided Belts

Part of the preppy trend is that we’re seeing a lot of braided belts coming back into fashion. Seen at Tory Burch AW26, but also already in store at The Row and my fave London brand Alex Eagle. Need one to wear with my 501’s.

10. Tickets

I love having a good amount of cultural events to attend each season. It’s one of the ways in which I restore energy – absorbing the precious energy and beauty of an opera or exhibition. This Sunday I had the immense pleasure to gather with the lovely women of Arts & Tea to watch the movie Hamnet and I recommend everyone to go see it. What an experience. If you’re in Stockholm I also recommend getting tickets to Rosas Il Cimento dell'Armonia e dell'Inventione at Dansens Hus 24-25th of March, as well as going to see Diana Orving’s Celestial Bodies at Millesgården – divine.

I wish you a lovely end to your week. Talk soon,
