June Memo: Football, Skincare News and How to Eat a Peach
We are entering this time of the year when I would ideally spend all my days lounging in the garden with a book, eating peaches and goat cheese with truffle honey. I might break that routine occasionally to have friends over for a negroni and scallops with b..
Nine Books I Read in May
May – a bad month for reading, a horrible one for blogging. I knew it was going to be suboptimal, but it turned out worse than I expected. The pace at work combined with losing my iPad meant I didn’t manage to post even the things I had half-prepared and tak..
11 Books I Read in April
The title sounds better than the actual reading results of April, as five of the books I finished were small Penguin Moderns. Then again, I read two books of 400+ pages, so it evens out.
1. Gio-Graphy: Serious Fun in the Wild World of Fasion by Giovanna B..
12 Modern Classics for Your Wardrobe
I’ve said before that I’m interested in those changes in fashion that are slower than seasonal trends and I feel that I’m not alone in that. With the rise of the capsule wardrobe and concerns about sustainability, many people are wondering how to look curren..
10 Fragrances Every Man Should Try
Anyone who knows anything about my views on perfume also knows I don’t like to divide scents into feminine and masculine or for men and women. In fact, I don’t like to do this in general, not just with perfume. The reason this post bears the title it does is..

March Memo: Spring, Oscars and Reading Women
It is very nearly spring in Brussels, still some way to go in Tallinn. When I was little, I used to be very disdainful of yellow daffodils, as they were the most common spring flowers in my grandmother’s garden. I thought paperwhites much superior and tulips..
7 Books I Read in February
The reading year has started well: I was very happy with my January reads and this good streak continued in February. In addition to enjoying what I read, I also managed to tick off poetry and an Estonian-language book, staying true to my reading goals of 20..
February Memo: Glossier, Curling and Minimalist Vegans
First February tip, dear readers: do not catch the flu. I know from painful personal experience that the virus doing the rounds at the moment is a seriously unpleasant one. Wash your hands, avoid people, do what you must – I’ve been fever-free for thee days ..
13 Books I Read in January
As not all of you are following me on Instagram or Goodreads, I’m planning to regularly jot down what I’ve been reading. These are not meant as reviews (we’d be here all day), just quick indications of what I loved, liked or struggled with. I’ll keep doing l..
