A Casual Dress
My enthusiasm for dresses is well documented. Dresses make total sense to me: nothing has a better effort/impact ratio, and I am both lazy and vain. That said, I do understand why people feel that a full-length white dress or a super-fitted orange one are to..
Christophe Robin: Hair Products For Picky Blondes
I’m not a natural blonde. I’m sure you’re shocked. Shocked! Unfortunately, in the interest of this post, that information needed to be shared. In its original state, my hair is of that exceptional colour that Estonians call potato peel and the rest of the wo..
The Redemption of Gucci
Big shifts in fashion and in the landscape of fashion brands don’t happen every season. When it comes to the latter, I can think of a few in the last decade: Phoebe Philo starting at Celine, John Galliano leaving Dior, Nicolas Chesquiere moving to Louis Vuit..
A Romantic Blouse
I have delayed this post for two months now, certain that I will find an even more romantic blouse to illustrate my point. But it never happened: this 29 euro Zara version, if I remember the price correctly, was one of the first takes on the trend and I have..
Hylamide Serums: Excellent and Non-Expensive
It has come to my attention that I have a tendency to overspend. This realization may or may not have something to do with the purchase of a certain lipstick… But that aside, I do get excited about hunting for the Absolutely Ultimate Thingybob and overlook..
5+5 Autumny Autumn Fragrances

A Small Bit of Paris: The Petit Palais
I have never been obsessed by Paris. If forced to choose, I’d pick London, New York and Tokyo before the capital of France – and I’ve not even been to Tokyo. I generally feel a bit insecure in Paris, as I don’t speak the language and almost expect to became ..
Rouge Louboutin in Rose du Desert
Yesterday, I found myself in Paris. My boss gave me a day off, so there I was, hanging around in the Petit Palais and having lunch at the Guerlain flagship store on Champs-Élysées. As you do. And what would a day-trip to Paris be without a frivolous purchase..
Using a Kindle Doesn’t Make You a Traitor
I don’t really trust people who don’t read books, so consequently, I often interact with people who are readers. And one thing several of them have said is they are not buying a Kindle/reading e-books, because they prefer proper, real books. Electronic ones ..
A Table for the Mad Men
I haven’t written about interiors for a while, because after the triumphant acquisition of the Munkegaard chairs and the magnificent lamps by Jaanus Orgusaar, there hasn’t been too many developments in that department. There’s still one room in the house tha..
