There's a difference between just relaxing somewhere and recharging in an inspiring environment. It's important to spend time in places that help you to reconnect with yourself, a space that speaks to you, whether it be through the cozy lighting and seating area, or the open airiness of the sea air, or the minimalist calm.

Especially in a world where there's so much "noise", it's vital to make time to charge your own batteries, to feel at ease, to gain confidence, and to be inspired.

Spending time at these places will help you to feel like yourself again

Write down a list of 3-5 local spots where you always enjoy spending a moment, and 1-3 further away places that have the same, if not augmented, effect. Keep these in mind to visit whenever you're feeling a little grey or worn out. Recharging in a space that inspires you will do the trick to get you back on track!

On my latest trip to Stockholm, I passed this gem of a café, Robin Delselius Bageri, on my way to the Fotografiska photography museum. I made it a point to go back for morning fika. This super cozy Södermalm bakery is perfect for a quick bun, or stationing yourself for the afternoon with your favourite book. Go for the traditional cinnamon bun, or their warming lunch soup.

Live tennis, rhythmic music, and early 80's vibes at the Björn Borg SS18 show at the Kungliga Royal Tennis Club, this Stockholm Fashion Week.

Working in fashion for years has awarded me multiple opportunities to attend various fashion weeks around the world. This year, I attended Stockholm Fashion Week. 

I attended various shows, including STAND at The Grand Hotel, Björn Borg, and the Stockholms Auktionsverk Accessories Lounge. I also breakfasted with The Hunt at Nybrogatan 38, and had coffee/fika with Tuva Alicia.
