With the current fascination for all things Scandinavian I decided to check out Stockholm over the weekend.

To get a real feel for the light and crystal clear air I made Hotel J at Naka Strand my base, from there it’s only a 10 minute hop over to Stockholm’s city centre going by boat.

The wonderful early autumn weather, beautiful people and stunning architecture of Norrmalm and Gamla Stan coupled with the cool almost 70’s vibe of Sodermalm made it perfection itself for re-charging my creative batteries!

I also visited our exclusive stockists Skindeep – a beautifully eclectic multi-labelled boutique who have just received their new Queen & Belle Autumn Winter collection.

ps I am wearing the Queene and Belle chunky knit aran cardi “Joe” (shown in our previous blog article) perfect for cooler northern evenings!
