Autumn Scent Update: Dark Florals and Other Pleasures
My fragrance posts are few and far between these days, as I test and buy so much less than I used to and hence mostly wear perfumes I’ve already spoken about. For blogging purposes, this is not ideal. I do still go through distinctive moods, however, and aut..
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, ..
October Memo: Cillian Murphy, Victoria Beckham & Fighting Poverty
I’m late with my October memo for an unusual reason – I couldn’t think of anything exciting to write about. I can only assume it’s related to me being more stressed than usual, because as a rule, I get excited very easily. Fortunately, (some) inspiration has..
6 Things That Help Dealing with Stress
I generally function well in stressful situations. Especially in work context, I thrive under pressure and often perform better and faster when the stakes are high or I need to deliver several important things simultaneously. I even deal relatively well with..
9 Books I Read in September

6 Places Where to Drink in Tallinn
When I was in Tallinn this summer, I made it my mission to eat and drink in as many (new) places as possible. This turned out to be a very ambitious – if delightful – plan, as I only had 10 days and Tallinn has many lovely bars and restaurants. I thought I’d..
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..
My 9 Favourite Cleansers of All Time
Out of all the topics I have any familiarity with, face cleansing products may be the one I know the best – with the possible exceptions of the EU economic policy coordination process, iris perfumes and feminist science fiction. I’ve tried dozens of cleanser..
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..
