New York is having temperatures below freezing for the first time this winter. Everybody is talking about the cold. Yes, it is cold, but in Sweden we have a saying: “there’s no bad weather, only bad clothes.”

I say, get over it and bundle up. Winter clothes are fun! I whipped out some seriously warm mittens and the fluffy scarf that my love bought for me in Tokyo. Very cozy.

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!
