GOT WOOD?




(Images Norwegian Wood A/W Collection shot by Matthew Kristjan, Various images from weheartit & Ditte Isager)

A visit to London is never (sad as it sounds) complete without a stroll around Topshop Oxford Circus, I adore the lower level of concessions, vintage, Wah's nail bar and of course the shoe lounge.

During my trip on Thursday I was really drawn to the concessions, i'm in a bit of a rut when it comes to buying  high street garms right now so it was great to see something different and a brand which really stood out to me was Norwegian Wood.

Despite hailing from Montreal, Canada designer Angie Johnson has an undeniable Scandi-aesthetic, and Scandinavian vibes are everywhere right now. Norwegian Wood is not the simplistic sister to Acne, or the kooky competitor of Monki, instead the collection brings a sense of Nordic Romanticism.

The collection meets perfectly between earthy and urban. I'd pair the bold pieces with an oversized white tee and top knot or with form fitting black staples. My favourite piece from the collection is the Psych Out leggings, with mesh panels for a faux knee high's look, they are featured in the Topshop side line but sadly not the campaign images. 




You can shop Norwegian Wood on Etsy 'ERE or instore at Topshop's Flagship. These leggings are priced at £55, with most of the collection priced between £20 and £90 it's actually affordable!

P.S. Check out Danish photographer Ditte Isager for some gorgeous Scandi' esque interiors shoots (her webpage is 'ERE).

P.P.S....I've changed my justification, how's it working for you, easier to read and clearer hopefully but any feedback would be great.
