beautiful. makes me proud to be a swede.

any idea where to find a similar coat?

She looks great! Love her scarf!

quality control.

How lovely this photo is – it makes me wish I was back in Stockholm. I love how this girl isn’t afraid to do volume – too many women are scared that volume will make them look fat – and I love the fact that her serene beauty, makes a fairly ordinary outfit extraordinary.

look at her the pretty thing. i’d say she pulls off an enormous coat and scarf rather well. i particularly like the cinched waist and her pretty skin.

how many feet long do you think the scarf is?

Wow, collected, beautiful and warm enough to withstand freezing temperatures all at the same time. And Stockholmers always seem to have such simple clothes; they just work very, very well… where do these people get it from?!

What an incredible face! I know, I know…a beautiful swede!…how unusual!…but she really does look like an angel.

note the similarity between this scarf and the scarf in the previous post… worn different ways

I don’t think that this is particularly flattering as a look. Besides the fact that you can’t see a skirt under the coat, the top is just to wide. Not my thing.

This is perfect!!!!
Love the cocoon!

Nice view from Katarinahissen.

It’s great to recognize places!!!

Greetings from a Spanish living in Stockholm… Since 2006.

I don’t get it. I don’t object, but I don’t see what’s intersting. Girl in black and a puffy coat. None of the pieces are remarkable, and it’s a boring look I see all over the place.

A very “swedish” look this season. Seems to be all about the boots, slim jeans/tights and big parkas, on both men and women.

I love the scarf, but the rosy cheeks make the picture. :)

So beautiful, yet practical. Totally of the moment without being precious.

She looks even more angelic contrasted with her practical, wintery garb. Feminine, trend-conscious, comfortable – another great shot.

I love her silhouette, not many girls could pull it off, but it’s the scarf that really pulls it together and her rosy cheeks that keep the femininity. Not crazy about the shoes, but she makes them work.

i love how the lightness of her skin, hair and eyes contrast with the dark grey and black pallette of our outfit; she’s sweet, but with a dark edge. the contrast is very on-target with fashion right now.

so gorgeous and classy. go blanka!

Sweet. Dress would have to be very short to be under that. If there was one lol.

This is one of those shots where I wish I knew what *you* are seeing, what you love about this look.

Not that I don’t think there are many elements to love – the piled scarf, the puffy as mini, her lovely face – but there are also a few elements to not love at all – the way the high-tops+mini make her legs look shorter/chubbier even though they are not either, her indifferent hair, the fit of the coat through the hips.

A sentence or two to direct discussion?

I love the volume of her scarf and the big puffy jacket….

now THAT’S a winter coat!

Clearly a beautiful girl, but for me boring and unflattering.

Although seriously this girl is very slim – why would anybody say she has “substantial” legs?! We live in a crazy world where 80% of the american population are obese but this girl supposedly has big legs.

A question to people commenting above (and maybe to Mr. Sart, too): is this about pretty girls or about “pretty” (or cool, or whatever) style?

Love the scarf but without the angelic face there is only a common look. Doesn’t take a certain touch to pull this one together.

I have to say I, too, don’t see the point in this picture. If it wasn’t for her lovely face she would look like a million other people on the streets of the entire universe…. puffy jacket, black, scarf…. In fact I think she doesn’t even make the most of it. I find that the volume on the top should be balance on the bottom somehow; those shoes don’t work. She needs to add a bit of an edge/personality to the whole outfit.

I also agree that her sweet, clean, fresh face makes the outfit! at first glane, it seems unexciting- but her rosy cheeks really make the whole outfit POP as something special! her tiny boots are especially cute- and the twist of the scarf is so playful.

I love the scarf — the volume is great and the color really suits her. Blondes look so great in grey.

I don´t get it, but maybe that´s because I´m a swede. very average look, and blonde/cute, duh, not very interesting? :) still like the boots. and the volume but it´s not unusual. do not like the depressing colours.

does anyone know where to get boots like these? love them!!

Why not tall boots to form some congruence with the volume (for warmth I would presume) on the top? The legs, while lovely, are jarring in this instance in contrast to the heaviness of the parka and weighty scarf. The subject is lovely and appears quite comfortable.

I see armour again. Segmented right arm, row of buttons and carapace bottom. Invisible hands, serene face above subtly scrolled scarf. Fence/Gate as emphasis, the idea of protection from something hostile.

That’s not on the street. That’s on the deck at the top of Gondolan, just above the restaurant. Hope you got a meal while you were there! Cheers love!
