Saturday

baletten bolle.

recently i have become OBSESSED with all things swedish; swedish street style, swedish fashion blogs, swedish popstars [robyn & lykke li, anyone?! - more to come from them later] ikea, h&m, cheapmonday, etc. etc. i've even added stockholm to my (very) long list of places i must visit before i die.

and after days of obsessively scrolling through many of their fabulous blogs i have spotted a recurring trend among the most fashionable of swedish girls - they all seem to favour the ballet bun, worn high atop their heads. its tres chic, effortless, & looks gorgeous paired with those gigantic scarfs they love wrapping multiple times around their necks.



now all i need is that plane ticket & a long overdue major shopping spree at h&m.
oh, & longer hair...

love, A.

stockholmstreetstyle.feber.se, moderniteter, lisaplace & finafridas


ps. my hair appointment - ala alexa chung - has been scheduled for this wednesday!
i'm excited. guess that longer hair thing isnt really going to work out.

i adore the ballerina bun. its my go-to for those days when i feel like i would rather get a little more sleep after the morning shower than blow dry (which is almost everyday...)

What's not to love about Sweden. I would die to go there and shop in all the vintage stores!

Swedish girls have a very strong, signature style. But rock it each in their own way!
