The Dark Side of the Sun: Summer Black vol 1
The idea of this blogpost is older than the blog itself, I’ve even had the title of the piece for more than five years now. There have been others in this category, like this piece on overdressing and the one about gin in teacups, but today’s post has taken ..
Sporty Sunglasses: Dior & Others
Only blogging about things you want to blog about is obviously the main upside of having a small-ish independent blog like mine: there are no advertisers to consider, no engagement numbers to obsessively follow and the readers also know what the deal is and ..
Morning of War, Evening of Silk
It is one of those times when work is taking over – it was the case the past week and will also be the case for the next. I knew it was coming (EU economic governance has a rather predictable calendar, so I usually know when I will be completely overwhelmed ..
Workwear Wednesday*: Trouser Edition vol 1
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you probably think I don’t wear trousers very often. This is manifestly not true, I wear them possibly 50% of the time, at least in winter. It’s just that outfits featuring trousers generally seem less exciting t..
Dior “J’Adior” White Kitten Heels
I get very annoyed with people who complain about the cost of everything. I don’t mean people in genuine economic difficulties, I mean people who pick a restaurant that they are fully familiar with, and then keep droning on about how expensive everything is…

Spring Updates
It feels a bit strange writing this, as I’m not entirely sure spring has properly arrived in Brussels and Tallinn, while in Senegal – where I am now – things are obviously way past what I’d usually call spring. Still, the blog is a monster that needs to be f..
Best of 2016: Makeup
In the last week, I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time watching best of 2016 beauty videos on YouTube. I have mostly learned two things: 1) these videos are addictive and 2) my list of favourites is quite different from most vloggers’. The latter is not..
Lipstick Season: 10 Current Favourites
It is a beauty truism that women return to lipsticks in autumn and want to wear deeper colours as the days get colder. And I think it’s generally true, at least for me – but it’s also reinforced by the fact that new lipstick launches tend to take place in Se..
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..
