This pretty bracelet came as a surprise in the mail for my birthday. From my sweet friend Liza. Love.

I have wanted one of these Kånken backpacks from Fjällräven for so long. Think I remember having a green or red one of these as a kid, most children growing up in Sweden in the 80s probably did, but I have no idea where it went.

And, after a few no-so-subtle hints, my love got me one for my birthday. I absolutely love it.

I like wearing it with more dressed-up looks, to give a bit of an edge. That said, it’ll probably come with me out into the woods a few times too. To me, that’s the point of a modern wardrobe — basic pieces that are able to transition seamlessly between all aspects of life.

Titta vad jag fick förra veckan. Direkt från Tokyo! Superfina scarves, handdukar och “bärdukar” (japaner lindar in det de vill bära på nåt väldigt snitsigt sätt som jag ännu inte lärt mig). Lite lustigt var att jag just hade hittat en solfjäder hemma och börjat bära med mig den i väskan för tillfällen då man står nere på en tunnelbaneplattform som känns som en finsk bastu (händer ganska ofta). Det vara bara det att den jag hade redan har en öllogga på skaftet — inte så elegant. Sen, den första dagen jag hade min solfjäder i väskan, fick jag denna fina. Lycka!

Look what I got last week. Straight from Tokyo! Lovely scarves, towels and carrying cloths (Japanese people have a very nifty way of wrapping up what they want to carry in these cloths, I need to learn). Funny thing was that I had just found a fan at home and started carrying it with me, for those time when you’re standing on a subway platform that feels like a Finnish sauna (happens a lot). Only thing was that the fan I already had has a beer logo on the side — not very elegant. So then, on the first day I carried my fan in my bag I got this pretty one. Bliss!
