The men’s and women’s clothing, shoes and accessories line was launched in 2003 with the philosophy of dressing happy people around the globe. That goal is evident in its bright tees ($49–$149), neon swimwear ($49–$59) and dresses in fun silhouettes ($129–$449). Founded in Stryn, Norway (population: 6,750), Moods of Norway’s scenic hometown is known for its glaciers and ice fishing, but you'd never know it with summery offerings such as electric blue sunglasses ($199) and neon bikini tops ($49) with matching bottoms ($49).

She immediately noticed how young the hatchery workers’ hands looked from always being in the water. That’s when she got the idea for Restorsea, an anti-aging skincare line that uses the natural enzymes released by baby salmon into the water, harvested from Norway. The line includes cleaners ($20–$65), moisturizers ($45–$85), and serums ($32.50–$195) that are beloved by Gwyneth Paltrow.
