Swedish Simplicity Friday, February 29, 2008 1:42 AM

When I think about the Swedes doing clean and simple right, Ikea comes to mind and so does the photography of Camilla Åkrans.

Even when working with a more complex set, Åkrans manages to find the simplicity in it and creates strong lines and shapes. There is a cinematic influence in some of her photography and I especially enjoy her film stills-esque work. I like the way she manipulates colours and lighting as well as her use of negative space.

Heather gray turtleneck: Old Navy. Dark gray wool sweater: Joe Fresh Style. Pear watch pendant: Marc by Marc Jacobs. Wide leg jeans: Old Navy. Brown suede boots: Forleria.

When it's -23°C outside with a biting wind that nips at the blood in my veins, the only thoughts left in my head are warmth and comfort. Oh, winter blahs. It's hard to believe it hovered around 0°C yesterday.

Top: WaWa at Pacific Mall. Wool plaid jumper: 2% (Hong Kong). Owl macrame necklace: Etsy (macraMe). Brown ribbed leggings: Target. Green flats: Sam Edelman.

Today was warm, but it'll be cold again on Wednesday. I did pull on boots before heading out though. Too cold for bare toes, but if I wanted frostbitten toes I would've gone with the green flats. Just for the record, I don't wear shoes inside my carpeted house (no thanks to embedded dirt!). I only wear them for the photos (after cleaning the soles first).
