Oh, Sverige. Land of beautiful people, incredible landscapes… and IKEA. Seriously, what would we do without the Swedes?
I’ve had a crush on Sweden (well, Scandinavia in general) for as long as I can remember and wanted to share with you three Swedish women who are currently rocking my world. Njut!
Scandinavia’s top blogger, Elin Kling has captured the fashion world’s collective imagination with her edgy downtown style. I absolutely love how she mixes structured basics with gorgeous accessories – favouring brands like Alexander Wang, Balenciaga, YSL and Acne – to create an effortlessly put together look. Elin started her career at Solo magazine as fashion editor and has gone on to create a diffusion line with H&M as well as found Fashion Networks, Sweden’s largest online fashion community, with her partner Christian Remrod. Check Elin’s blog out for more style inspiration, she’s definitely one to watch!
Hilda Granhat is one talented 24 year old. Freelance photographer, graphic design student and self confessed “flea market addict,” Hilda has an amazing style that is uncomplicated, captivating and totally Swedish. I’ve fallen in love with her gorgeous blog and check back daily in the hope that she’ll have new images or design projects for me to drool over. Hilda also makes cute clocks from vintage books, available for sale in her store.
I started following Caroline Blomst’s style on Lookbook about a year or two ago and like Elin, I love her edgy style that’s a bit rock ‘n’ roll without trying too hard. Despite the fact her wardrobe is filled with designer pieces, her look easily translates for those on a smaller budget and staple pieces like black ankle boots, skinny jeans, leather pants, faux fur coats, vintage tees and studded bags are seen in the majority of her photos, with a YSL ring or a leopard print coat thrown in to mix things up on occasion. Caroline works as the fashion editor on Feber.se, running the successful Stockholm Street Style blog, and also documents her style and inspirations on her own blog Caroline’s Mode. I highly recommend heading over to check them out!
