I'm very excited about my latest profile post, as it features a brand which I've admired for a long time. Based in Copenhagen, Skandinavisk celebrates the Scandinavian way of life through a range of scented candles and room fragrances, all with simple yet wonderfully evocative names such as SKOG ('forest'), HAV ('sea') and KOTO (Finnish for 'cosy at home').

Resident’s new Somerset shop
I love exciting new openings, particularly when they're close to home in southwest England. The latest one to catch my attention is the first permanent shop of lifestyle store Resident, which has just opened its doors in a Grade II-listed townhouse in Frome, Somerset.

Home tour | A Swedish house with marble & brass
Today I want to share a peek at the calming, pared-back home of Swedish blogger Nadja Mini Helminen, which is one of the most beautiful I’ve come across in a while.
