How To: Wear Your Favourite Christmas Knitted Sweater In Public

Well isn't this fun? Happy Holiday's everyone!

One of the reasons I'm so fond of this holiday sweater is because it makes me nostalgic - attempting to be a fashionista aside - isn't it great to wear clothes that make us smile? I'll forever love a look that feels colourful and cute - and it's always worth it when you catch someone smile at you on the street for looking so cheerful.

Christmas in Sweden is so lovely! I feel like I speak about it a lot, but there's a very traditional feeling about the season.

Down Under it's pretty common for people to eat outside and have bbq seafood alongside baked ham and turkey, in Sweden - there's loads of seafood dishes but they also serve meatballs! Plus a load of things I can't pronounce the name of, food suited for cold weather.

I have a very large extended family so we don't give each other gifts - in my immediate family (grandparents, parents, siblings, boyfriends) when are just doing a secret santa! So the budget you have for all you presents, just gets allocated to one person. It's great because it means you just get one really lovely gift! Something else that's fun - in Australia we open presents in the morning when we wake, whereas here in Sweden - they open the gifts on Xmas eve. A

It's finally getting icy here in Stockholm! I got pretty excited about this ice puddle and jumped around smashing it. I'm such a child.

Soooo I've actually automated this post, by the time it's live I'll be doing a very long journey home to my family.... Stockholm - Berlin - Abu Dhabi - Perth - Esperance. That's not a casual ride at all.... :(
