Snow Style in Scandinavia

Thanksgiving traditions and old family pictures inspired a Scandinavian style post. I love sitting with Grandma Ruby over the holidays and looking at our family scrapbooks - pictures of family in old Norway, stories of life on the farm - priceless memories of a time long-ago but not forgotten.

The Danish fashion industry developed in the 1960's into a successful export. Now, the Danish Fashion Institute promotes growth and awareness of Danish design and Copenhagen Fashion Week. I could spend all day reading about fashion history and development, and today proved to be the perfect morning to browse...


Traditional Scandinavian knitwear - so cozy and so snow bunny chic. This girl reminds me of Donna from That 70's Show... often I am envious of redheads.

Stockholm street style at its best! I love the icy gray tights and muted colors in different textures.

This coat from Swedish fashion brand Nygårdsanna is adorable. In fact, the entire line is a cool glimpse of Swedish country style. Would love to find a pair of those Scandinavian knit fingerless gloves...

DANSK - self touted as 'The World's Most Independent Fashion Magazine' - it's a cool girl's fashion import from Denmark - if only I could afford to subscribe!

Happy Holidays from our Scandinavian family to yours!

XOXO, T
