As you may have noticed, I am quite minimalist and I love wooden furniture. I created a set with this concept, which is, by the way, very scandinavian. Hope you like it! Wood Minimalism by gemmabosch featuring a retro side table

Here are some pictures of Slottskogen, the coolest park of Gothenburg. It is situated in the heart of the city and it has a zoo of local animals.

Hi! I decided to say goodbye to February with a selection of things that made my life easier this month. I don’t like buying a lot of stuff, only practical and useful things, so these things are really what I’ve been wearing and using this February. Turtleneck jumpers This one is from a small store in my hometown and it was a present from my mum. I actually have this one since January but I have…

Scandinavian Style: Long Coats

Wearing long coats is a huge trend here in Sweden. I’ve seen them everywhere in both women and men wear them, during all autumn and winter and even if it is raining or snowing.

Cold Cold February: more frozen lakes

The other day we went to Ruddalen again. We use to check the lakes everytime is super cold. This time it was -7ºC (and sunny again) and finnally we managed to walk a little over the frozen water. It’s so cool but kind of scary too.

Say Yes to Sandals and Socks

Oh yeah, sandals and socks are a must in Sweden. Well, it’s actually a normal thing here, and very practical, but for me it was a cultural shock. For me this combination was a sing of bad taste and being a weird tourist. But I get it swedes!!! Okay, if you don’t already know, here you must take off your shoes when you enter your home, someone else’s home and certain work places (in preschools,…
