This summer, I made a day trip to Viking Heritage spot, Sparlösa runestone. Created around 800 AD, the depictions are up for interpretation, though a typical Viking longhouse and ship are clearly visible.

Connecting with something so rooted in my own history was something really special. When I travel around the world visiting cultural sites, they don't necessary resonate with me, as they aren't directly linked to my family's history. The Viking runestone speaks of my ancestors' life and culture. Amazing. Have you visited any historical sites that struck a chord with you?

Brighten your black work attire with a pop of coloured trousers, and super shiny silver jewels. Think the FD Första collection in solid sterling silver.

Despite checkered jackets being everywhere this season, it's always been a British style staple. A classic wardrobe will carry you longer than one or two seasons. I try to build my style on solid, lasting pieces, with a trendy piece thrown in here and there to spice it up.

When I designed the Första collection, I was very clear on the fact that I wanted this to be an eternal collection, something that I myself would love to wear day-in and day-out, and that wouldn't date.

What are your forever-favourite pieces?

A few months ago, I met with Emmanuelle from The Glam Observer at my local Danish spot, Ole & Steen. We sat on the terrace, and talked business, bloggers, and jewellery.
