Stockholm Street Style...Filippa Smeds

I was lucky enough to spend two days in Stockholm the week before last and even luckier to catch up with 2 girls who I've photographed before on the blog: Filippa Smeds (who I met at LFW in September) and Marion from Marion Rocks blog, who I met in Paris earlier this year (Marion's photos to follow later this week!).

Filippa is one of those super-dooper multi-taskers girls who never fail to make me jealous: model, stylist and fashion editor at Radar Magazine she also had on the most envy-inducing shoes: those gorgeous Acne Atacoma black wedge-heeled ankle boots with the little silver insert running along the bottom. The.Most.Seriously.Perfect.Wedge.Ankle.Boots.Ever.


Oh yeah, and just look at her smooshy, ever-so-perfectly distressed leather and sheepskin bomber jacket. Humph. These Swedish girls.....They Got Style.

  4. Luccie-I suspect if I wore those wedges I would end up in a hospital room with a broken tibia but Filippa seemed to manage perfectly in them (even on the Stockholm cobblestones!)
    Marion- hee hee! You guys will get on brillantly! She is absolutely lovely and I can see you two becoming fast friends in Stockholm :))) I can't wait to read your interview!
    Claire- Ooh Claire you will LOVE LOVE STockholm- it is awesome! It is such a lovely place and the Swedes are uber friendly-a couple of people asked me if I was lost and needed directions while I was standing with my map looking a bit confused on the street! The food is fantastic: make sure you go to the large indoor food market near Stureplan and have a meal at one of the little restaurants inside; visit Sofo for the really cool shops (I loved Grandpa, Acne and Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair) and cafes (I had a great meal at Urban deli); the Moderna Museet art gallery is fantastic as well (they are currently showing a Dali exhibition). And try the hot chocolate and cinnamon buns at the tiny cafe, Chokladroppen, near the Nobel museum in the old city. It is lovely and cosy especially as it gets dark so early now in Stockholm-I think it was almost dark around 2:30pm, 3:00pm when I was there! Have an amazing time, Claire :)

  6. Hi Vanessa!!

    Long time no speak. Sorry I didn't get to see you when you here in NY recently : (( Guerre filled me in.

    I have those ACNE's and I tell you something: My tongue fell out my mouth,hit the ground and rolled out the first time I saw them. LOL!!

    Keep up the fab posts.

    Hopefully our paths will cross soon.
