Swedish Fish


Come on, I know you stalk them too. They're way cooler than Cory Kennedy and can make a ballerina bun look NOT uptight. Florals, opaque tights, white keds, plaids, mini skirts, stripes, baggy tshirts are all the things these girls need that make you want to be like them.
I'm talking about those stylish Swedish girls, of course! Blogs such as Modernieter and Lisa Place have been such a source of inspiration lately, as i am sure yours. I love their beautiful photography, girly girl posts, and love of summer. their blogs just make you feel so happy and feminine. They use mainly basics with an accessory here and there that makes their wardrobe so versatile and "all year round".


They live for Victorian and vintage florals and worship anything Chloe Sevigny puts on her body.


Their simple, yet interesting way of dressing has been forever in my mind, especially while shopping. Recently I bought this oversize cardigan at Anthropologie:

It reminded me of something a cool Swedish girl would wear lol - the dainty floral, cosy knit, and oversize-ness. I'm thinking I'll wear it with black tights, a black tank, and bun on the top of my head.


It's as good as Swedish Fish lol!

I said it once, I say it again and I'd say it a million times: When it comes to style, no one beats the sweds. They would look cool and chic wearing a sack.
