Workwear Wednesday: Fresh & Sharp
Office wear posts are among my favourites: I like the genre and many of you seem to find my ideas genuinely useful. So I will attempt to do these looks on a regular basis, now that my work life will hopefully be a bit more… regular. I’ll return to my old p..
Quick Thoughts on Eye Cream
The usefulness or otherwise of eye cream is something people occasionally ask me about and I was reminded of the topic when Nadine Baggott recently uploaded this video about eye products that work (there is also part two, focusing on high street products).

January Memo: IKEA, Sparkly Eye Shadow and Black Panther
It’s still January, so officially totally OK to issue this month’s memo – snippets that seem interesting to me and hopefully to you as well. I have labelled them clearly, so you can skip the ones that look boring!
1. Penguin Modern series. If you’ve been..
Winter Reading: The Bear and The Nightingale
There are books that seem to be made for reading in a certain weather or place. Eve Babitz is summer reading while Doctor Zhivago is winter, Zadie Smith is London and Crazy Rich Asians is Singapore. It is of course not necessary nor always possible to match ..
On Using My Own Stuff, Like Seriously
As a consequence of my Estonian Designer Project*, the trip to Australia and some very unfortunate and unforeseeable expenses/lack of planned revenue, my financial situation is worse than it has been for years. It’s rather embarrassing, really, I’m no longer..
Brand Alert: Su:m37, Korean Luxury Beauty
This is a quick and very niche post, but in case you are travelling to Asia in the near future or are just obsessed with Korean skincare, I have to tell you this. I totally could not live with myself if you’d miss out on Su:m37 purely because I was too lazy ..
Best of 2017: Makeup, Perfume and Style
My makeup and perfume purchases slowed down considerably in 2017 and I’m not entirely sure how to tackle the style category, so I’ve combined all this into one post. Not everything here is new, but it’s all great and hopefully helpful.
Best of 2017: Skincare
2017 was possibly a slightly more restrained skincare year for me than 2016, but only just. I still tried a lot and experimented with things, spending a considerable amount of money in the process. I suspect 2018 will be quieter: my routine is settling down ..
Happy New Year from Sydney!
I’m starting 2018 in Australia, having brunch at the Sydney Tower after watching the amazing fireworks over the harbour last night. The place is symbolic, as Aussies are internationally known for their relaxed vibe and this is exactly what I need the coming ..
The Year of Polemical Reading: Best Books of 2017
2017 was not the best reading year I’ve ever had – as was to be expected due to the work situation – but also not the worst. Maybe because the times are so fucked up, I was drawn to books that examined issues like race, democracy and gender/female condition…
