So far we’ve been all over Østerbro, Frederiksberg, and Christianshavn 🌸 There are so many quaint little streets I never knew existed and I’ve been photographing them to make Margot a book of all the places we explored during her naps.
Motherhood is so exciting, exhausting, and confusi Motherhood is so exciting, exhausting, and confusing all at once. It’s a constant mix of every range of emotions. It’s the hardest job I’ve ever had. But also the most rewarding. It’s been a little under three months, but it’s everything I could have wished for. Thank you Margot for making me a mom. I’ve never been so tired yet so happy and fulfilled all at once. 🥹 You’ve taught me so much already and I can’t wait to see what’s next 💞

About

Hej.

I’m Kaila. A California girl that’s now found herself living in the design capital of Europe, Copenhagen. When I moved I wanted to create a creative outlet for myself and have a place to share my stories and observations while I embarked on what was supposed to be a 1-year gap year after college graduation. Now fast forward five years (Seriously, how has it been that long) — I finally created that space in the form of an Expat Lifestyle blog. 

The name Swanky + Bold is symbolic of a lifestyle that encompasses being fashionable, daring, and strong. 

I’m here to inform, entertain, and inspire action through the content and experiences that I share. Every piece of content is packed with passion and enthusiasm and comes with tips and tools. 

You can expect me to share my inspirational muses, stories of fashion and lifestyle, travel experiences,  and free resources to empower you to feel like you can do more, and become more.
