Big Dress Energy
It is funny how we come to define ourselves and our tastes a certain way and as a consequence, stop even trying anything different. There are people who don’t do colour and people who don’t wear trousers and people who refuse to put on heels. Or flats. And I..
Every Item of Clothing I Packed for Venice
Whenever I post from my travels on social media, someone says I must have a huge suitcase. I don’t. Unless it’s a two-week holiday, I travel with a standard carry-on and a tote bag. In the latter, I have my books, skin care, makeup, iPad, charger and a few o..
I Am in Venice
The title says it all, really – I am in Venice for a weekend, partly to celebrate our 20th anniversary with J, partly just because I’ve never been. This is to let you know that I will not do any blogging from here and will also try not to spend much time on ..
Wardrobe Essentials: The Camel Coat
I was worried that it was too late to post this, as spring is slowly arriving even in the Northern reaches of Europe. Then a friend wrote (from Italy, of all places!) that one should always take a coat with you whenever travelling in Europe, no matter how w..
A Levantine Brunch
I swear I do in fact cook things that are not inspired by Middle East (or West Asia, as Parag Khanna has just reminded me would be more accurate to say) and Central Asia. I do! It is also true, however, that I gravitate towards those regions whenever we have..
On the Sustainability of Fashion, Featuring H&M Conscious
It has taken way too long, but fashion industry is finally taking the sustainability issues seriously – although not seriously enough, yet. By fashion industry, I don’t mean just the brands: while it’s ridiculous that they’ve gotten away with doing nothing f..
The Cleanser That Made Me Change My Mind: Oskia Renaissance
When I did my big cleanser round-up a couple of years ago, I had bought a full-size bottle of Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel and I wasn’t impressed. It’s possible this was my reaction to the hype surrounding that cleanser, as especially the UK-based blogger..
Workwear Wednesday: All Beige Everything
Ah, finally – a proper style post! Not that this one is going to surprise you, as I have been harping on about beige and head-to-toe tonal dressing for months now. What can I say, it’s what I want to wear at the moment and if you are a person who works in a ..
On Feeling Blue
I’m a relatively upbeat person: not one of those eternal rays of sunshine who bounce around non-stop and scare me a little bit, but I’m not melancholy or negative by nature. As I’m quite extrovert and enthusiastic – some would maybe call me intense -, other ..
March Memo: Marvel, Makeup & Melancholy
If you are following the political developments in Estonia, you might already suspect that I’m currently not in the best of moods. And you’d be right. I’m anxious and distracted and uninspired – not only because of the politics (there are other things that a..
