Restyling Challenge: All Cream Everything
I mentioned in my autumn trends overview that I’ve got some style posts coming where I will either take an old favourite and restyle it or create a look based on vintage pieces. This is a deliberate attempt to curb my tendency to constantly buy new, exciting..
8 Books I Read in October
This was a somewhat weird reading month for me, I picked up several rather random books in addition to a couple that I have been on my must-read list. No regrets, though, I enjoyed everything I read and it’s good to occasionally stray from one’s default mode..
Autumn (Non) Trend Report

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
I’m very happy with my September reading, despite not quite having reached neither the quantitative nor qualitative highs of August. That would have been too much to expect in any case: I don’t often read 17 books in a month, out of which three are five-star..
