At Norrmalmstorg, Stockholm, Sverige
September 9-12
På Moon Festival och Design Week besöker vi Stockholm! Hej igen Sverige! Silja Serenade avgår vid Helsinki Olympia Terminal på fredag kl 17:00, exakt samma schema som sommarresan 2017.
Staying overnight on board from the evening deck view with amazingly glittering full moon, the juicy chicken burger combo meal till live performance and royale casino scenario, is highly amused. We ladies witness a flirting game at bar table, a group of drunken juveniles at cabin hallway, and a large amount of karaoke entertainers trying their best to obtain off-keys at neon ballroom. Nevertheless, after a good dream sleep, Stockholm harbour again welcomes our curiosity and excitement, cordially warmly.
STOCKHOLM DESIGN WEEK was initiated in 2002 by Stockholm Furniture Fair, debuted in 1951, nowadays is where holding in a variety of venues across Stockholm city centre, from galleries to showrooms, cultural institutes to Nordiska Kompaniet. We kick off our city trip at Odenplan to T-Centralen metro station, visiting NK for the furniture and sculpture design check and strolling all the way to Norrmalmstorg.
The outfits of the day at Stockholm city tour shall be basking warm and lightweight, for the occasional chilly wind sneaking through. Barely purchasing balconette without underwired or pads, while CALVIN KLEIN brassiere with adjustable straps is available to style as a sexy top, with 80% lyocell, 17% polyamide and 3% elastane, also a convenient night wear for the shared room moment.
VIVIENNE WESTWOOD 100% cotton black cardigan, made in Japan, with ribbed details and engraving designer’s signature buttons, is always my favourtie bargain from OKINAWA Outlet Mall ASHIBINAA. I always match this essential item with mini wool skirt and complete the Oxford loafer looks, while mix with ZARA autumn leggings, immediately create an alternative punk style in a rather Nordic minimalism touch. ZARA leggings are unquestionable the simple must-have at every seasonal sale, but the garments blending with 57% acrylic, 26% nylon, 9% wool, 4% alpaca, 2% cotton and 2% elastane with slight off-white polka dots, are yet a detailed design, surprisingly.
Defined by its ‘clean lines, sharp tailoring and bold details,’ the award-winning Danish brand BY MALENE BIRGER offering timeless collections are cut from luxurious materials and hand-embellished. The puff sleeves wool piece in creamy tone and label carving dark brown buttons, with 34% RWS wool, 34% RMS mohair, 27% polyamide and 5 % elastane can bring out either a lightweight short coat or a single outwear. Notice that the 68% of the natural materials are from The Responsible Wool Standard and The Responsible Mohair Standard (RWS/RMS), which require farmers, ranchers and retailers must meet animal welfare, land management, and social requirements and certified to the final business-to-business transaction. Found BY MALENE BIRGER at Helsinki STOCKMANN clearance sale in May, by realizing the brand established from an eco-friendly designer and the manufacturers, instantly I become a loyal fan.
For the accessories, I go for MIUMIU round-frame glittered acetate sunglasses with gradient lenses, CHANEL CC logo light brass earrings, CHANEL 2019 Cruise collection Sac de Silver Seaside Villa in lambskin and beaming silver edges, and last but not the least, CHANEL shining silver lambskin espadrilles. Ultimately in love with the intercrossed logo, Chanel espadrilles have been on my annual shopping list since 2015. The monotone silver goatskin espadrilles in the double-stitched straw construction offer the comfort walk on either pebble or marble pathways. The supple interior with lambskin pads prevent the heel bites, the rubber outsole is more of scratch resistant; wearing a thin layer of invisible socks is very durable for a half-day tour. The only warning of wearing any espadrilles is that avoiding the rainy or snowy days, for the straws and leather in between would easily get mildew.
Let’s continue to GAMLA STAN for the souvenir hunt, HALLWYLSKA MUSEET and Royal Palace of Stockholm!
TOP TIP 1: By supporting the eco-friendly designers’ brands for Vivienne Westwood’s ‘Buy less, choose well and sustain longer’ motto
TOP TIP 2: Accessories in silver is always a lovely mix-and-match idea with ivory/creamy white outwear
