The Dark Side of the Sun: Black in Summer, Friday Evening Edition
When it comes to going-out dresses, I’m a simple creature: I like them short and tight. I am very far from thinking that women can only look sexy in clingy and revealing things, but I also see no shame in wanting to get one’s legs (or whatever your equivalen..
The Dark Side of the Sun: Black in Summer vol 4
I have already written about my view that in the Northern-European climate, an extensive summer wardrobe tends to be unnecessary. Spending lots of money on things that can only be worn for approximately two weeks every year just isn’t the best use of resourc..

How To Dress Like A Seventies Spy
This is not the how-to you’ve been waiting for? That’s too bad, as it’s the only wisdom I feel capable of imparting at the moment. I am endlessly fascinated by spies and dream about becoming one pretty much on a weekly basis. Unfortunately, I’m exceptionally..
