There is literally nothing more annoying than deciding to shop for summer clothes (ie when the summer comes) and finding that the stores are all full of autumn winter. Apparently last weekend was the biggest swimwear buying weekend of the year but good luck trying to find a decent one in the right size. It’s all left over sale dregs and winter boots now.
For that reason, I am sometimes reluctant to write about new collections in interiors because it can be frustrating to read about something and find you can’t buy it for three months. The glossy magazines can sometimes be guilty of this – perhaps because of their long lead times – blogs shouldn’t, I think, because the point is that they are much more immediate.
However, when I was sent these pictures of the new collection coming to Nordic House, I wanted to use them and they are coming online next month – which is only a few days away so I didn’t feel it was too bad. And also, it’s not quite the same as fashion in that your house won’t be ruined if you have to wait a few weeks to buy (or save up for) a new light whereas your holiday might well be if you have to wear a cashmere jumper to the beach.
So with that in mind, have a look at these and add them to your imaginary shopping basket. They’ll be here before you know it.
Lovely things – I think some of them will be in my shopping basket before I know it!
