Saved + Collected: Summer Brain, Fall Wishlist

Happy Friday! This week’s Saved + Collected is coming to you before Stockholm Notes, and after a few late nights and tired eyes, so please excuse any typos. Work has ramped up, we had a birthday in the family, the schools were closed the past two days and, frankly, this is where my brain is at. I also have several fall pieces in the works that I can’t wait to finish, and I hope to find some time for them soon. I’m trying to remind myself that it’s only the first week back from vacation and I can’t possibly get to everything at once.

My brain doesn’t always like sending the same type of newsletter back to back, but I hope you’ll forgive me. Sharing my latest saves, screenshots and rabbit holes below.

Oh, and before I start, I wanted to share that Scandi Delights is now on Instagram. Even though I work with creators regularly in my day job, I feel like a complete newbie when it comes to doing it myself. It’s a little bare over there for now, but I’d love for you to come follow along as I figure it out.

1. Frame x Sotheby’s – the collab is back, and with it comes these great high-rise straight-leg jeans, in a darker denim for the autumn months.

2. Shearling lined slippers for fall. I know, I know, call it premature. But I’m all for cozy feet.

3. I’ve been thinking about this sweater since spring. But I’ve moved on from the white and on to the taupe.

4. A dreamy vintage watch.

5. The simplicity of this bag (also available in a smaller size, and several colors) just speaks to me. The price is also so good.

6. I have an LV card holder on my keys that I’ve had since high school (!!), and I’m thinking of an upgrade.

7. A pair of black wayfarer style sunnies, classic but modern.

8. The Icons Issue from Neptune Papers.

9. I’m a sucker for a branded Nalgene.

10. A 1950s Wilhelm Kåge for Gustavsberg “Våga” pot.

I’ve been thinking a lot about corten steel lately. Thrilling stuff! It’s the borders in the image below that have me particularly inspired. We’re thinking about adding some new sectioning to the garden at our summer home, and I love how simple and sculptural this feels. The photo is from the restaurant just down the road from us – Vyn. Sigh, I already miss Österlen.

Running to Broadway and Sons to see what these tailored vintage cargos are like. For me and my husband. My dream is to be as cool as Katie Casper in her men’s Carhartts.

Ask me what’s currently on my ARKET and COS wishlist, and I’ll almost always tell you something basic. As tempting as their trendier pieces can be, I tend to steer away from them. I tire quickly of seeing the same thing on everyone and their neighbor, and I’d rather use the basics as a starting point for something that feels more like me. It’s the jewelry, scarves, shoes, and little details I add that make the whole look my own. The below are pieces I’d pick up today.

Last week, I shared a couple of options on ballerina heels, as they seem to be gaining in popularity. This week, I found some dupes for the Marcy pump from Khaite, and an elegant low-heeled polished black. And Madeline Rose Nachbar also did a great roundup here.
