Tweed on Skin
I get very irritated when style gurus say that you shouldn’t wear tights. I do understand – and to a certain extent agree with – the aesthetic arguments, but saying this to an Estonian is like saying we should never put on anything warmer than a t-shirt. The..
Drunk Elephant Brand Overview Part 1
If you follow skincare news as obsessively as I do, you already know that Drunk Elephant is launching at Cult Beauty and Space NK on 3 October. From then on, this amusingly named skincare line will be easily accessible for people in Europe (and beyond, but i..
Workwear Wednesday: Cosy Mustard
I’m sorry if you are sick and tired of mustard by now, I still have one look to share with you! And as I happen to really like it, I cannot leave it unpublished. So I’ve done casual mustard and sexy mustard and this is the most autumnal of my mustard outfits..
Balenciaga Knife Sling-Backs, an Analysis
While I don’t buy much clothing by international designer brands, I do occasionally buy their shoes. For me, this somehow seems worthwhile – it is by no means rational, but this is how it is. You have probably seen me raving about my Gucci loafers (although ..

September Memo: Hemingway, L’Oreal Mascara and Tom Hiddleston
And the holidays are over, just like that. Generally, I tend to be excited for autumn and I am this year as well, but I feel that the 12-day vacation was simply too short. Whining about it does not help, however, so let’s focus on things I’m looking forward ..

7 Autumn Trends to Maybe Consider
All my autumn style content is still in production (this sounds much fancier than ‘the photographer will send me the pics at some point’) or yet to be shot on Thursday, but I cannot really put off the trend post any longer, both for weather and retail reason..
