This January, we shot latest Felice Dahl jewellery, the Ljus collection. The vibe is Scandi Cool in London, just like the brand, and the face is the sublime Freja Wewer!
We prepared indoors, then shot on the streets of Chelsea, London. I love how it’s typically elegant London, with the white facades and black fences.
It was freezing, so we warmed up between shots with thick coats, hot tea, and chips/French fries from the local pub.
While I love great basics, I also love to have fun with fashion. Queue my fluffy slides! Fashion is for self expression, so why not play with it? The more different looks you try, the more you'll find out what your personal taste is - what makes you feel good when you wear it.
Along with playing with fashion, I do believe a great set of jewellery can empower you. Of course I am a jewellery designer, which is all the more proof of how much jewellery means to me. Depending on how much I layer, I really feel as though I can portray different aspects of myself, along with feeling strong and sure of myself. What will these designs reflect from you?
The gold vermeil jewellery I wear day-in day-out has started to reveal the sterling silver underneath its surface, and I love it. To many, jewellery is incredibly personal - it could remind you of someone close to your heart, or of a beautiful moment, or state who you are to the world on a daily basis. It travels with you, and often across generations.
Quality jewellery ages, and as it does, its character strengthens. You know by looking at it, it's loved, it's brought strength, comfort. And just as you see with the Ljus collection, it's absolutely ok to wear multiple metals at the same time.
Before you send off your pieces to be re-plated, give it a good polish with a soft cloth, and embrace its character!
The striped top, a classic that can be styled in many scandi cool ways. Discover my take on Swedish, Danish and Norwegian styling here below. Which is your favourite?
SWEDISH STYLE - Mix the striped top with classic trousers, and super chic walkable heels. Finish it off with delicate earrings and a statement bracelet.
DANISH STYLE - Pack a punch of colour by styling stripes against bright trousers and statement comfy shoes. Complete the look with a bold necklace and layered earrings.
NORWEGIAN STYLE - Keep your stripes casual with classic jeans and feminine sandals. Accent your outfit with design earrings and a statement ring.
Now that you've seen all the scandi cool styling versions of the striped top, which suits you best? Would you mix and match?
