Realness. Right now Scandinavia and Nordic features are showing at their most genuine. Trees and roots. Mom and child. Soft wool and raw leathers. Everything surrounded by pure, white snow. Does the traditional pattern, that the little one’s wearing, look familiar to you? We’re totally crazy about this minature version of Gudrun & Gudrun’s classic sweater, made world-famous through a popular Danish TV series. The adult sweater pictured here is hand knit suri alpaca/merino wool.

To say that I like jeans would be a slight understatement. I just L O V E them! You can dress them up or down and they don’t need too many accessories. Fashion genius Yves Saint Laurent said the following about jeans…: “I wish I had invented blue jeans, the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity,… all I hope for in my clothes.” I rest my case.

So, lucky for me that jeans are on the trend. Even more, layering denim on denim would make a pretty perfect look! It is the right outfit for spring; comfortable and stylish enough for a mommy on the go. I love all colours, and I have a pair in black, grey, white and pastel pink even (yes I’m a girly girl at heart). BUT the classic blue jeans is my all time fave, of course. It makes me think of blue spring skies, fresh air and being outside with the fam. Oh, and this look works great for men too… and kids! Even the bebe joins in on this trend. And euhm, who says a mama cannot be all matchy-matchy with her boys?! It’s so fab!
