08 Edits by Reena Simon
I've scoured the net to curate and bring you an Edit of handpicked Scandi-inspired interiors and fashion, so you can sit back, relax, and indulge in all things Scandinavian! Hope you enjoy reading.
Happy Sunday!
I have got a little obsessed with sequins so you will see lots of festive pieces as well as cosy knitwear. And paper decorations which are at the heart of Scandinavian Christmas decor.
STOP PRESS! Is that phrase even used these days?! The Edit this week can be viewed by all Subscribers! I would love for you to get a taste of what you can see week to week. Thank you to those of you who have already taken the plunge and have upgraded your Subscription before I have launched all of the other elements which will make it a very special place to hang out.
And just a recap of what is coming. With a Paid Subscription, you'll be able to view the full edit of 20 pieces week to week. Next week I am going to dedicate the Edit to all Interiors. Renovation posts will be coming soon as well as more on my health journey as this will no doubt help others and I would love to chat about some of the more personal things over here. But Interiors will remain very much at the forefront of this space.
Plus, you'll gain exclusive access to our monthly Q&A sessions where you can seek direct advice and feedback on your interior design challenges, travel plans, or any other topics you're passionate about.
But that's not all – as a Paid Subscriber, you'll also join our vibrant community. Connect with like-minded individuals who share your love for calm interiors, travel, and fashion and are seeking a design led lifestyle in our exclusive Subscriber chat.

I am not sure when the bow obsession is going to stop but for now it’s still strong! The beaded cuffs on this blouse are a dream and what we need for the festive season.

02
I bought a very similar sequin blouse a few years ago and it’s still going strong seeing as I can only wear it a handful of times a year!
03
A sequin break for now but a sequin bow cardigan is coming up along with an embellished sequin bag. For now though this elevated knitwear is very cosy.

One of the most popular Christmas decorations that the Scandi countries favour are ones made from paper. These Christmas trees come out every year and in different sizes! Christmas curated stylishly and simple.

I think this is the first scarf of the season and I can assure you there will be more to come. It’s the blanket stitch that did it for me!
06
At the top of my Christmas wish list this year are the Royal Copenhagen's timeless Christmas ornaments which carry on a centuries-old tradition. They add a classic and elegant touch to your tree, and I love that they can be passed on for generations to come.
07
A white shirt is always an investment and worth it. It can be worn all year round. I particularly love the sequinned collar.
08
I am going to keep the sequins going before moving onto all things cosy, although this bow cardigan is both of those things! Lots of sizes currently out of stock but you can sign up to a notification for when they are back.

It’s time to introduce a black skirt to pair with all of the above! This one stood out and best of all it has an elasticated waist!

Before we leave the sequins behind, if you are already a paid subscriber you will have seen my love for the micro bag this year. I think this bag as the 90s written all over it and that’s why I am gravitating towards it.
11
I am not sure yet if it has become obvious enough that black is my favourite colour for my wardrobe! This knitted dress is making its way to me as we speak!
Shop Knitted Dress →
12
I appreciate any opportunity for a co-ord. Although this silk shirt is sold separately to its bottoms, it is part of a pyjama set which would make for an ideal Christmas gift, maybe self gifting would be appropriate here!
13
As we move onto all things cosy let’s take a moment to appreciate this candle and brand. It smells divine and is definitely going to be gifted to a few people this Christmas!

Talking of my favourite colours not just for fashion but that spill over into my home, I am naturally drawn to monochromatic but a beige / black combination. This fluffy knitted jumper will be a sell out so if you like it, I would snap it up!
15
And if you are looking for a fluffy jumper that you could actually dress up for a cosy dinner out over the coming months, the shape and line of this elevates it making it dressy indeed!
16
A style that personally I find flattering is the puff sleeve. The blouse is velvet giving my all of the Christmas feels.
17
You are going to need a coat to keep you warm right with the outfits above! I haven’t invested in a black coat for a few years other than a puffer one. I have this on order, I am only 5ft 1 so it might take time to find the one but I love the oversized style of this and it looks roomy enough to layer up underneath.
18
You can never have enough blankets to hand at this time of year and I am sharing this one as it’s currently in the sale! And in true Scandi style, it is part of the perfect neutral colour family!
19
I personally struggle with trousers as I carry all of my weight around the tummy area especially since my health crisis and being flung into early Menopause. I am always in need of lots of stretch or elasticated is even better!
20
And last but not least, I had to share this because cooking and baking season is underway and Black Friday deals are coming. I missed out on this last year but this year I have got in early, it is a massive saving! I ordered the ultimate cookware set, will let you know what it’s like!

Wanderlust, anyone?
Have you ever been abroad for Christmas?! We are going to this hotel this year. The trip marks the end of a bitter sweet year, a c'est la vie to my 40th year and a year like no other! I will let you know what it’s like. A bucket list place for sure! We went to the sister hotel in Mauritius last year and the Interior design was pared back, neutral and right up my street.
I hope you enjoyed Edit 08. Feel free to let me know in the comments below what you would like me to cover in the coming weeks!
