But seriously. Minnesota you’re doing it.🤍 You’re standing up, you’re showing up, and you’re proving (yet again) that community wins. I’ve never been prouder to say I’m from MN… and trust me, this expat struggles to announce I’m American anywhere right now. But Minnesota? Heck ya, I’ll shout that loud and proud.

MN, my home state, is under siege.

I can’t even look at the news without thinking about the pain, fear, and courage in those communities right now. From the protests in the streets to folks closing up shop in solidarity, this isn’t theory or news, it’s our neighbors, our friends, our state rising up against a federal operation terrorizing people in their own backyards.

Seeing what’s happening, seeing people shot, people scared in their own homes. It’s awful.

Seeing people choosing community support over business as usual is hopeful. Minnesota doesn’t fold. We push back. We organize. We protect each other. And yes, we can push back hard enough so ICE pulls out and the rest of the country takes notice. This is the MN way.

To curb my feeling of helplessness being on the other side of the Atlantic, I put together this short support guide. If you’ve got resources, training groups, donation links, legal support — drop them below & tag friends who care.

Let’s keep the focus on supporting MN, resisting 🧊, and setting the tone for the change we want to see across the country. 🧡✊🏼

A general strike is…
as Minnesotan as hotdish. Dontcha know?!?

Did you know MN is having a General Strike tomorrow — Friday, Jan 23? A general strike basically means: no work, school, and no shopping as a way to show power, disrupt “business as usual,” and demand change.

If you can’t can’t protest in person, here are ways you can support:
• Don’t shop. Anywhere. For the day.
• Donate to mutual aid + support friends who are striking
• Offer help where you can — childcare, financial support, sharing info

If you’re in MN: there’s a downtown protest at 2PM.

Even if you’re not in Minnesota, you can take part. Power to the people — and sending all the support I can from Sweden.

Sometimes an item isn’t bad… it just needs a bit of help and creative thinking.

Enter: the Eileen Fisher tunic sweater — soft, comfy, and juuust boxy enough to feel confusing in the wild.

So I did my thing and illustrated my way through it. 😂

My latest Help Me Style This is all about:
✨ fixing weird proportions
✨ adding shape where you want it
✨ and using tiny styling tricks (looking at you belts + hair ties+ pins) to make a “meh” piece actually work for you.

From scarf hacks to hidden belts to long + fitted vs loose + flowy, I mapped out ALL the ways to make this sweater earn its spot in your closet.

Swipe and save — you’re about to look at your basics differently.
And now I need to know…

👉 What should I style next?
DM me the piece in your closet that stresses you out — I’ll turn it into the next illustrated challenge.

Two books this month and both delivered. One had me yelling “girl, NO” at the main character like she could hear me… and the other had me tearing up into my mug of glögg. (Iconic combo, 10/10 would recommend.)

• Workhorse by Caroline Palmer
Fashion-magazine drama , questionable choices, ambition-fueled chaos… Clo is the kind of character you root for and want to shake by the shoulders at the same time. Stressful? Yes. Addictive? Also yes.

• Heart the Lover by Lily King
This one walked in quietly and then absolutely wrecked me. Beautiful, tender, emotional, nostalgic — a coming-of-age story that hits every feeling you forgot you had. Might be my favorite of the year.

If you want the full scoop (with fewer feelings and more details), my full review is on the blog — link in bio 💛📖

Advent has officially started in Sweden, which means the holiday season has begun and the coziness is in high gear. The candles are glowing, the paper stars are up, and the glöog is simmering on the stove.

Swedish Christmas is cozy, sparkly, quirky, and honestly? I’m fully obsessed. Here are a few of my favorite traditions:

🎅🏼 Tomte - garden gnome meets Santa and the cutest thing ever IMO
🕯️ Advent lights — every window glowing warm and golden
⭐ Paper stars — peak Scandinavian charm
🍪 Pepparkaka — thin, spicy, crispy gingerbread perfection
🕯️ Lucia — the festival of light (yes, with real candles in the hair… iconic)
🥤 Julmust — a holiday soda Swedes take VERY seriously
🐟 Herring — it’s not Christmas without it (I’m trying, okay?)
😋 Lussekatter — saffron buns, an acquired taste but I like ‘em
🦆 Donald Duck at 3pm — don’t ask, just embrace it
🍷 Glögg — mulled wine’s slightly stronger, sweeter cousin

If you want the deeper dive on ALL of these traditions (and why Swedes love them), I shared more over on my blog — head to my site for the full post. 💛

This all started when a girlfriend asked me, “Can you help me style these pants?”

Little did she know I was about to arm her with… oh just 22 outfit ideas 😂 and a new illustration series on my hands!

Introducing Help Me Style This. My illustrated closet challenges, where one piece turns into endless looks.

What should I style next? Comment or Dm me your most confusing, difficult, or “why did I buy this” item below and I’ll get sketching!

Let’s make your closet more fun and get more mileage out of what you’ve got! ✨

Halloween 2025 is in the books and it was Iconic. Every year I’m impressed with how my friends interpret the theme. Creating these looks here in Sweden can be challenging with the limited Halloween resource, but I think it makes it even better!
