Leather Leisure: Massimo Dutti’s Beige Trousers
I have been bad with style posts this year, for a very simple reason: I haven’t been to Estonia for two months and this is where I usually organise my shoots. I’m planning to remedy the situation soon, but until then, I’ll have a quick post on one of my most..
Captain Marvel: The Perfect Women’s Day Movie
The only thing marring my love affair with Marvel movies has been their inability to get women right. At first, they just didn’t really have any – Black Widow was the only woman in the original Avengers crew, but although I adore Scarlett Johansson, she wasn..
8 Books I Read In February & Thoughts On Plot
My most recent reading month began rather spectacularly and then fizzled out by the end due to work. I read hardly anything in the last week of February and what I read the week before that was mostly fantasy/YA – this is the type of fare I tend to go for wh..
How Using Retinol Changed My Skincare Routine
If you are a long-time reader of my blog, you know I always stress that my skin is not sensitive and can handle most products out there without ill effects. This is not me bragging, but warning you that what works for me may not work for you. However, as the..
9 Key Trends For Spring

Morning of War, Evening of Silk
It is one of those times when work is taking over – it was the case the past week and will also be the case for the next. I knew it was coming (EU economic governance has a rather predictable calendar, so I usually know when I will be completely overwhelmed ..
Pharmacy Finds: CeraVe and Vichy
I am constantly asked to recommend affordable, decent, no-nonsense skincare products. As you know, that’s not really my strength – I tend to go for insanely expensive and unnecessarily fancy -, but as I refuse to recommend things I haven’t tried myself, I ma..
On Why We Have Nothing to Wear
In my attempt to be a more considered shopper, I have been thinking about what makes a wardrobe work. It is common to make fun of women who ‘have nothing to wear’, as this sentiment is interpreted as clear evidence of shallowness, vanity and lack of brain po..
Three Luxury Cleansers: Omorovicza, Tracie Martyn and Leahlani
I have quite a few things to tell you on the skincare front, both when it comes to products and my routine as a whole. When I started writing the skincare update, I realised it’s impossible to cover it all in one post with any level of detail. I have therefo..
13 Books I Read In January
I had a very good start to my reading year, both in terms of quality and quantity. As a result of the latter, my views are going to be expressed rather laconically: I don’t want the post to be three pages long. If you are particularly interested in something..
