What if Winter Walks Were Forever?

This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on December 24, 2023—Julafton, the day we celebrate Christmas in Sweden. It’s a selfie of me at my parents' house in the charming village of Mörbylånga on the island of Öland, located in southern Sweden. Before the festive celebrations kicked off, I decided to take a chilly walk down to the harbor. 

 In the photo, I’m wearing my bright orange beanie, a Moschino x H&M CD-print parka, and my trusty Bugs Bunny hoodie—because style doesn’t take a holiday! Behind me, you can spot the snow-covered pier and a small yellow building sitting at the end of the icy dock. The whole scene feels so serene and almost frozen in time.  

The harbor was absolutely beautiful that morning. The docks were covered in snow and ice, reflecting the cold but peaceful atmosphere of a Swedish winter by the sea. I remember the crisp air, the crunch of snow under my boots, and the calmness that comes just before the holiday hustle begins. This walk felt like my own little moment of stillness.  

Julafton at my parents’ house is always special. It’s a mix of cozy traditions and that magical Scandinavian winter vibe. But this walk—and this photo—captures a quiet slice of the day, just me, my thoughts, and the frozen harbor.  

Looking back at this image, I’m reminded how much I love blending my personal style with capturing the natural beauty of my surroundings. It’s these little moments that ground me, and I’m so glad I have this photo to take me back.
