Dear hearts, no doubt you’ve heard about our fabulous new guides to Stockholm and Amsterdam. Well, so have our lovely friends at Condé Nast Traveller, who’ve asked our Publishing Editor Grant Thatcher to share a few insider tips about Stockholm. And after having flown in, researched and written the Stockholm guide, he sure has a few – from the place to stay to where to find single cow cheese, it’s all here.

The LUXElife Q&A
LUXE Stockholm's Leggy Lovely in Chief
You know how essential LUXE’s hyper-opinionated resident editors are in putting together our city guides, but who are they, and what does it take to be one? Well, dear hearts, to celebrate the launch of our new LUXE Stockholm guide, we’re finally shining the spotlight on them. First up, meet Celia Ingesson, the driving authority on where to sleep, eat and shop and what to do in Stockholm. After 16 years as buyer and designer for mega retailer H&M, this Leggy Lovely now writes about fashion and trends, as well as running Scandinavian Press Room, an independent PR agency repping hot brands like Sonia by Sonia Rykiel, Vanessa Bruno, and a host of homegrown Swedish names. Ever the jetsetter, Celia’s work frequently takes her to major fashion cities like Paris, London and NYC, so you know you can trust her opinion on what smart travellers like yourselves look for. In this interview, Celia shares her own personal picks for Stockholm, her essential addresses, and some surprising discoveries while researching for the guide.
Moddy good looks
Well, if your bag is Scandi design, you of course just hit the jackpot. The town is stacked with cutting edge furny and interior shops that’ll have your nest glittering with signature and iconic pieces from Jacksons to Modernity, and from Asplund to granddaddy Svenskt Tenn. In fact there’s so much we devoted a whole page in LUXE Stockholm to Standout Design alone. Oh yes, we did.

Well, how long do you have? Even picking just a few highlights from Stockholm’s burgeoning F&B scene is an onerous task, the city simply radiates good health with sparklingly fresh seafood and vegetables, slow food, seasonally sourced delicacies, single cow cheese (yes, that’s right Gerta) and artisanally produced edibles – from garden fork to table fork in a single breath.
