Workwear Wednesday Essentials Edition: Blazers & Shirts (ft Max Mara)

This is the last installment in my workwear essential series that I put together with the help of Max Mara. For all the information on how this came to be and the parameters of the collaboration, check out the first post. In addition to coats and trousers, ..

Workwear Wednesday Essentials Edition: Knits (ft Max Mara)

Now, this is a topic one would expect this blog to cover, as it’s certainly relevant for life in a cold climate. One could get through the year in Estonia or Belgium without a dress, but I challenge you to do the same without any knits in your wardrobe. They..

Workwear Wednesday Essentials Edition: Skirts & Dresses (ft Max Mara)

We all have clothes we gravitate towards, for different reasons. Some are passionate about jeans, others collect blazers. In my case, it’s always been dresses and skirts. Not that I don’t wear trousers or don’t like tops, but my eye tends to be drawn to skir..

Workwear Wednesday Essentials Edition: Coat & Trousers (ft Max Mara)

These days, my consumption habits are never far from my mind. As I’ve said before, I do not think that individual action can save the planet and I also don’t think this responsibility should be put on individuals – we need systemic change (as individuals, we..

The Discreet Charm of Hydra

I have not been telling you about my travels, although I always plan to, most determinedly. I never wrote that post about Beirut, which is a pity, as I loved it and it deserves to be much better known. And now I’m afraid the right moment to write about Venic..

Workwear Wednesday: All Rust Everything

As promised in the previous episode of Workwear Wednesday, I’m returning to the head-to-toe neutral dressing with this rust brown ensemble. We have already firmly established that all varieties of beiges and browns are a major trend for 2019: it’s all about ..

I Am in Venice

The title says it all, really – I am in Venice for a weekend, partly to celebrate our 20th anniversary with J, partly just because I’ve never been. This is to let you know that I will not do any blogging from here and will also try not to spend much time on ..

Workwear Wednesday: All Beige Everything

Ah, finally – a proper style post! Not that this one is going to surprise you, as I have been harping on about beige and head-to-toe tonal dressing for months now. What can I say, it’s what I want to wear at the moment and if you are a person who works in a ..
