This weekend has been wonderful. The nordic rain that usually lurks in the background was nowhere to be seen, leaving sunshine, golden reflexes, and colorful leaves dotting the trees. It would be a waste to spend a day like that in town, so a couple of friends and I drove one hour south to Sandefjord- a charming little beach town.
As you may perhaps know, I like the classic style because it is sustainable, lasts longer than seasonal fashion whims, and frees the mind when it comes to wondering what to wear.

Although the summer is officially here, that doesn’t necessarily mean constant sunshine – especially in the Nordics! Long sweater, or the boyfriend’s arm still come in handy to keep warm!
The sun twinkled between the buildings and trees as I was passing them on the way to Maridalen – a picturesque valley located north from Oslo. The valley stretches just above the suburb of Kjelsås, and it is filled with all one can wish for after a busy week in the city…
Who doesn’t love picnics! The scent of freshly cut grass mixed with the barbecue smoke, happy chatter, and the blue skies filled with flying frisbees!
