Waffle Knits & Lingonberries

The other night before walking into SoHo, we stopped into Swedish candy store Sockerbit where we took my outfit pic and of course picked up some new Scandinavian imported treats to try. We are not the foodie type of people and we're definitely not the foodie-blog type (we are not that adventurous!), but when it comes to Scandinavian confections, not only have we started seeking them out but you can expect to see one of us taking a picture while the other one of us is writing about it. Why Scandinavian treats? Because they are made with ingredients that we actually know of, the packaging is always well designed (total design every time I swear), and it is always delicious! American chocolate just isn't as good. Also, unlike other foreign sweets, which can seem odd in texture and taste, Scandinavian products have a familiarity to them, making them always palatable. SO, If you are looking for something new to try, the Lingonberry Dark Fairtrade Chocolate bar from Danish Chocolatier Anthon Berg is definitely a new favorite of ours. Made using cocoa beans from Ghana and dried lingonberries, this delicious dark chocolate has a subtle, yet well encompassed fruity flavor to it!

A Designer's Easter

After much consideration, Jordan and I have decided to celebrate Easter (for the hallmark reason), and by celebrate I mean buying these eggs that you are supposed to fill with candy but we kind of ate it. We blame it on the pristine looking, completely organized, all white Swedish candy shop that is down the street from me. It is where we bought these traditional Swedish Easter Eggs (the real ones are in a museum). In all honesty, I think we are just fascinated with the overly ornate decoration that seems to be so opposite to all of the beautiful/designer porn/efficient quality of contemporary Swedish design. 

The owner of the shop told me about how in Sweden they fill the Easter themed containers (which all have these similar looking images on them, the images being based on/the same as the original ones) with regular, non Easter themed candy. I think they are on to something there. 

I still think that egg shaped Reese's taste better. #justsayin
