August Sun
Maybe it’s just me, but the sun in August seems different. Lighter and brighter somehow than in the early summer, making everything look faded and a bit washed out. Or maybe the sun is the same, but everything is indeed bleached by the suns of June and July…
Looking Like a Boy
I’ve been looking like a boy recently. (Although I’m probably flattering myself – considering the facts, I should say I’ve been looking like a middle-aged man, but for the purposes of this post, let’s stick with boy, shall we?) This is the result of the conv..
The Lady Who Lunches
This title is misleading, as I’m definitely not one of the ladies who lunch – I work, I’m not rich, I don’t spend my days shopping and I haven’t had a proper lunch for weeks. What’s even more important, being a lady like that is not something I’ve ever aspir..
Very dolce, but no Gabbana
The red dress I’m wearing here (by a former Estonian beauty queen Diana Arno) could easily be mistaken for a Dolce & Gabbana creation. I generally don’t like items that are obviously ‘inspired by’ someone else’s work*, but after the recent pronouncements by ..
Completely Normal
As a general rule, when people have nice photos taken of themselves, they go for a look that’s more dressed up and dramatic than their everyday outfits. For me, however, it has been the other way around: both proper shoots that I’ve done recently have been a..
The Sane Side of the Seventies
Many people have specific historic periods they gravitate towards in terms of style. In my case, people tend to assume that it’s the sixties (not that I have TOO many conversations like that, but there have been some), mostly I guess because my only remarkab..
Sitting Pretty
Pretty is generally not my thing. I’ll go for dramatic, try elegant or professional, attempt fashion or even sexy, occasionally, but not pretty. I tend to find pretty a bit boring, to be honest, and it doesn’t suit neither my personality (I’m too intense for..
Thinking of Summer
I’ve been sitting on these pictures for almost a month now, because I promised myself that my blog will not do that stupid thing where you talk about summer clothes three months before summer actually arrives. But the thing is that as this post actually invo..
Darkness at Dawn
In the very beginning of spring, I always feel an almost physical need to wear lighter colours. That is an urge most people experience to a certain degree and it makes complete sense. But when normal people tend to stick to it and start wearing progressively..
Big in Japan
I have long had an ignorant Westerner’s fascination with Japanese culture and history. From shinto to anime, from wakame to samurai, I just find it all interesting and appealing. And then there’s the aesthetic side of it, of course – the ink paintings, the c..
