Caroline Herschel, The Celestial Housekeeper
I love smart, interesting, talented women. I collect them, both in real life and more abstractly (you can see part of my IRL collection here). The latter is especially easy: I can add writers and scientists, artists and sportswomen into my Hall of Fame and t..
What The F*** Should I Do With A Bodysuit: Part 2*
So, here we are again, back to the bodysuit. I shared most of my general musings on this item of clothing already last time, when introducing my world-changing bodysuit series. This means I don’t really have much to say this time around, except to briefly ex..
5 Skincare Rules for Non-Obsessed People
When you regularly read beauty blogs and follow scores of skincare nerds on Instagram, it can start feeling like everybody is as obsessed with the topic as you are. That most people have 8-step evening routines and spend hours debating what to order from Cul..
Slow Roasted Fennel with Butter, Brown Sugar and Orange
It’s been a while since I did a food post: not because I don’t cook, but because of the issue with the pictures. I’ve complained about it before – I don’t make things especially for the blog, so it’ll either be too dark to take photos once I’m done or there ..

The whole world is full of bodysuits at the moment (and by ‘the whole world’ I mean mostly Zara’s Women department), so it’s a fitting moment to take a look at this unfairly maligned item of clothing. Often, bodysuits are filed with harem pants and jumpsuits..
On Taking a Day Off (and Kau Manor)
I’ve been thinking about holidays and resting recently, most likely because I was on a holiday and tried to rest. I have become so much better at it than I used to be: I switch off almost instantly and will not think of work unless something extraordinary fo..
Tipping The Velvet
It feels a bit strange to write about velvet in beach weather, but by the time it would be more appropriate, I fear my enthusiasm might already be gone. At the moment, my love for this plush fabric is still fresh and all-conquering – always the best state of..
Diptyque Travel Collection
It’s a well-established fact that I lose all my rational faculties when confronted with mini or travel-size beauty products. I’m sure they emit some sort of chemical that affects my brain particularly strongly. There is a practical side to my obsession, thou..
A Modern Swimsuit
I’m sure you know that Nora Ephron quote: “Oh, how I regret not having worn a bikini for the entire year I was twenty-six. If anyone young is reading this, go, right this minute, put on a bikini, and don’t take it off until you’re thirty-four,” she says in I..
Public Service Announcement: Posting Will Be Erratic
Well, my posting is always erratic, but in the next two weeks it’ll be even more so. I’m in the Estonian countryside for my summer holidays, with only occasional Internet access.
I will try to post 2-3 times a week, but it’ll depend on circumstances; I’ve..
