Cheap Skincare: Alessandra Steinherr x Primark
I had never been inside a Primark store until this autumn, when Alessandra Steinherr launched her skincare line for the brand. For those of you that don’t spend silly amounts of time on Instagram checking people’s skincare routines: she is a former Glamour m..
Cheap Skincare: The Inkey List
There is no denying that I love my luxury skincare and I’m sure I always will. But I do keep trying affordable stuff on the side: partly because of the blog, partly because I think in some categories there isn’t much point in spending outrageous amounts and ..
Glamour in a Cold Climate: Part Two
My mission to rewear and restyle my dresses continues, with bonus points awarded if I manage to be Autumn-appropriate. The pink slip dress by Riina Põldroos that starred in the first post of the series was in fact part of a two-layer dress that I deconstruct..
Glamour in a Cold Climate: Part One
Blogging about style makes it really difficult not to buy clothes. (No shit, Sherlock.) Seeing clothes is the reason people come to a style blog – in my case it’s one of several reasons, but it’s still a major one – and who wants to see the same clothes over..

A Perfect Summer Cologne: Chanel Paris-Deauville and Friends
A perfumista’s life tends to go through phases: frantically sampling and testing all the perfumes in the world; buying everything that seems interesting; being disillusioned and bored with the entire scent thing; cutting down the collection and only wearing ..
Jordan Samuel Skincare
May is not going to be a great month for blogging around here, as you may have already realised: it’s busy at work and it’ll only get worse; I’ve lost my iPad and this messes with my writing and posting big time (I have no computer at home) and my partner ha..
A Great Mainstream Cleanser: Origins Jelly
My skincare obsession has been less in evidence recently, because I haven’t been buying as much as usual. In fact, since my Glossier haul, I’ve only bought a couple of bits and pieces and have been using up my (still too big) existing stash. There are, howev..
