Back in Fashion (ft a Deconstructed Riina Põldroos Dress)
Of all my frivolous pursuits, fashion used to be my favourite. In my late teens, I spent my negligible pocket money on the UK Vogue and if there was any left over, on the US one. When the miracle of Internet happened, I clicked through every single look of e..
Two L’Oreal Duos: Brows & Face
There have been three stand-out makeup trends in recent years: strong brows, contouring and matte lips. I’m not really interested in the latter – at least not in the liquid lipstick form that is the most hyped version of getting the look – but I flirt with t..
Georgia O’Keeffe at Tate Modern: Bones over Flowers
I spent a weekend in London recently. It’s something I always enjoy, but this time it was even better than usual – partly because of the Georgia O’Keeffe exhibition at the Tate Modern. As it’s open for another two months, I thought I’d encourage you to go an..
5 Perfumes for Late Summer
I like the lazy days of late summer. I wrote about my August last year, when I was on holiday in Estonia. This August has been less faded, the sun bolder and the weather warmer, at least occasionally. I have been in Brussels this time, so it’s been about sit..
Rebel With Absolutely No Cause Whatsoever
There is a rebellious mood in fashion at the moment that has been absent for years. It’s not quite on the same level with 80s punk or the early bohemians, but something is going on. Celine has been replaced as the most desirable brand by Vetements, known for..
Chocolate, Chestnut, Coffee
Despite the title, this is not a culinary post. Since last year, when I saw a pair of Baum und Pferdgarten walnut-coloured trousers, I’ve been thinking about the return of brown. I cannot find these trousers online any longer, though, so maybe I invented the..
The A-Word
I cannot really remember the time when I didn’t think about myself as a feminist. There certainly was one: I do recall reading The Second Sex and A Room of One’s Own in my early twenties and being almost shocked by the truths in them, so I cannot have been v..
London Skincare Haul
I feel a bit uneasy about hauls – I’m absolutely fine with others writing and talking about the stuff they’ve bought, but not so sure I want to go there myself. It can feel like an orgy of consumption with little added value and I don’t want to be reminded t..
What The F*** Should I Do With A Bodysuit: Part 3
The idea for this blogpost is older than the blog itself: there was a bunch of things I had wanted to write about for a while and in they end, they became the first entries on my brand new blog. But not this one. It wasn’t about a bodysuit then, but about a ..
London Calling
Dear readers, I’m in London, where I fully intended to do a skincare post for you yesterday (let me just say there is a lot of fresh material). Unfortunately, the otherwise excellent hotel The Beaumont is hopeless for taking pictures – it’s too dark and I on..
