I started the month in London and ended the month in Stockholm. In between I enjoyed working on new projects, kicking off Awards Season, attending MBFW Stockholm and, last but not least, meeting and falling in love with my friend's newborn girl Silvia last week in Sweden. Isn't she the cutest?

I had been longing for wintery temperatures like these (-2° to -6° C here in Sweden at the moment) for weeks! Stockholm in the winter could be even more lovely than in summer? I for one am really enjoying the freezing wind in my face, the layer of snow on the sidewalks (mostly outside of the center though) and I love that Stockholm still has so many Christmas decorations up! It's just beautiful and it's great to be back.
Some of you have been asking me for tips on what to wear during freezing cold weather and, to be honest, something like this is about all I could come up with so far: a cute down jacket (preferably with a big hood that you can layer over a woolen beanie hat for extra warm ears?), woolen trousers and sheepskin or (faux) fur lined biker boots.. I usually prefer my coats oversized and I definitely would've wished for this one to be longer as well but I've found that with down coats they seem warmer when they fit a little tighter around the body. So anyway, perhaps not the most stylish girl on the block but there's lots of other things to concentrate on when it's this cold.

I visited the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague yesterday to check out the Chanel exhibition 'The Chanel Legend', a story of Coco Chanel and her celebrated fashion house. To be honest, it did not live up to my expectations entirely - it was quite a small exhibition, I thought, with very few real eye-catchers. However, Chanel obviously has one of the most interesting stories in fashion (starting with Coco Chanel and coming up to its current designer Karl Lagerfeld) which was nice to read and see more about and, of course, it was also lovely to get to see some famous designs up close. - You can see the exhibition in The Hague until the 2nd of February after which it will transfer to the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg.
