I love buying clothes, I don’t necessarily love fashion or even wearing all my clothes but I love to buy and own pretty clothing. Almost exactly a year ago I decided to finally quit my well paying job in Stockholm and by that also deciding to quit a lot of the bad habits I had started with during my years as an adult with an office job – the worst one was having online shopping as a hobby and buying tons of fast fashion.I’ve always been good with money, I love to save, but I also love to splurge when I know I can afford it.

In early 2020 we finally moved to the tiny mountain town Åre in northern Sweden (I have another blogpost coming out next week about our decision and move to Åre so stay tuned) and it’s been a total dream come true from the start…
