For your eyes only- City Stolling

FYEO no:8

Dear Readers,

This edition of For Your Eyes Only is a deeper dive following last week’s open letter, where I shared some of my absolute favorite spots. Today’s guide is more personal—focused on the corners of Norrmalm and Östermalm I return to again and again for design, food, art, and quiet pauses.

You’ll find where I buy flowers and cheese (Hötorget), where I slip away for a few hours (Centralbadet), and the places that hold stories—like KB, where we had our wedding party. I’ve also included notes from my new Think Tank column—on trenchcoats, hair that moves, and the quiet return of hip scarves and pleated chino shorts.

If we pass each other at Rönnells, over morning tea at Stadshotellet, or just city-strolling near a window display—please do say hi.

One of my best advices is to look up, sometimes your feet or your screen is stealing all the light.

Next week im visiting Thielska Galleriet for a quick chat about something exating. This painting makes me long for endless cuty walks.

A friendly reminder, throughout 2025, Thielska Galleriet celebrates its anniversary with a rich program that looks both to the past and toward the present. The major spring exhibition, Together, highlights the gallery as a Gesamtkunstwerk – a total work of art – and a vibrant gathering place for poets, painters, and musicians even in the days of Ernest and Signe Maria Thiel.

Kindly note: This For Your Eyes Only, is rich with inspiration and may be on the longer side. If your email platform shortens it, please open it in your browser to fully appreciate every detail. This newsletter includes affiliate links.

WHISLIST - City sailor

Here, the sailor’s ease meets the city’s rhythm. Loafers instead of boots. A brass button glimpsed under a linen trench. The poetry of coastal life, translated into the language of pavement and passing glances.
