November 20, 2021 at Olavinlinna, Finland
On my birthday I am always on the road. After the discovery of Hämeelinna at Autumn Festival, medieval castle trip is always inviting. Situated at Savonlinna, at latitude 61°, founded by Erik Axelsson Tott in 1475 under the name Sankt Olofsborg in an effort to profit from the political turmoil following Ivan III’s conquest of the NOVGOROD REPUBLIC, literally St. Olof’s Castle, Olavinlinna (Olofsborg in Swedish and Olafsburg in German) is the northernmost medieval stone fortress built on a rocky island, with triple tower castle, still standing nowadays. The castle forms a spectacular stage for Savonlinna Opera Festival since summer 1912. During the wintertime, Olavinlinna serves us an eastern Finland adventure wonderland—the keep, the bell tower, the church tower, Kijl’s tower, outer bailey, curtain walls and the century-old tree upright from the courtyard—Olavinlinna travels us back to the Game of Thrones saga era, history leaves many traces to learn from.
How to wear at -1°c Olavinlinna day trip with comfort and chic style? Karl Lagerfeld wool long coat consists of 71% wool, 26%polymaide and 3% mixed fabrics is not only reversible, but also giving both a classic Nordic noir look and funky KARL LAGERFELD scenario. Founded in 1984, under the designer’s namesake, Karl Lagerfeld’s individual designs was established with ‘intellectual sexiness’: the narrow silhouette and the outwardly tailored lines are the combination of classic style and street fun. Under the wool coat, CHAENL logo jumper with 54% wool and 46% cotton and 30% wool, 28% mohair, 38% nylon and 4% elastane cardigan from ACNE Studios are my winter essentials. Together in greyish tone, GUCCI monogram 70% wool and 30% mulberry silk scarf, which the 70 x 200 cm size is easy to wrap around the neck with freestyle layering manière, and mix and match incomparably with KARL LAGERFELD font layout.
For the rather long rocky road walk at Olavinlinna, first double the 20 dents socks from H&M, and then CHANEL tweed winter boots with thick exterior soles have been serving my feet the best interest, while the inner lambskin soles keep me in comfort and warmth during the minus Celsius drizzling day. ZARA Classic Mom Fit jeans are unrestrained to have long haul in train or massive footsteps at pebble roads, therefore, I have been collection during the winter season sale, and the greatest bargain can be only 7,95 EUR a pair.
As for accessories, CHOLÉ ivory acetate sunglasses and CHANEL SAC de SILVER always offer the convenience during day trip, due to the outfits at Olavinlinna today are black, grey and silver tone, CHANEL Rogue Allure #117 OR CUVRÉ gives an elegant burgundy touch, its moisturizing formula prevents the dehydration from the chilly, drizzling and slightly windy snowy Finnish winter day.
