Best of 2025: Beauty & Style
I’ve had a deeply weird start to the year, I guess it’s the combination of fascism, perimenopause, trying to write and watching Heated Rivalry too many times that has been affecting me. As a result, my 2025 wrap-up content is late, but I am planning to get it all out in the next couple of weeks. As you can see, I have consolidated my beauty and style favourites into one post this time, because the vast majority of my faves are the same as last year (or go back even more). Everything I said in my 2024 beauty and style posts still stands, as does the information in my morning and evening skincare routine roundups. Which is great for me as a person, but less great for blogging content. So here are the handful of things I have added to my increasingly stable list this year:
10 Fragrances I Cannot Live Without
The title is of course a lie – I am currently out of at least two perfumes mentioned here and I am still very much alive (although perhaps this explains my recent health troubles…). But a follower on Instagram asked me to provide such a list and I thought: why not? I have enough experience with wearing and paying attention to perfume by now to select scents that I’m reasonably confident I’ll not change my mind about any time soon.
Autumn Scent Update: Dark Florals and Other Pleasures
My fragrance posts are few and far between these days, as I test and buy so much less than I used to and hence mostly wear perfumes I’ve already spoken about. For blogging purposes, this is not ideal. I do still go through distinctive moods, however, and aut..
Dark Romance: Tom Ford’s Velvet Gardenia
It is interesting how any type of nerd culture can simultaneously connect and isolate you. I love to be a part of things like the big Marvel Avengers moment, but also get impatient with people who watch it, but don’t ‘get’ it (I do try not to be a knob about..
Autumn Edit: Fragrances
Suddenly, autumn is here – not just de jure, but also de facto. It was still 27 degrees on Wednesday, now it’s barely ten and raining hard. So it seems the right moment to start with my autumn edits, they no longer feel disconnected from reality. I’m in fact..
September Memo: Hemingway, L’Oreal Mascara and Tom Hiddleston
And the holidays are over, just like that. Generally, I tend to be excited for autumn and I am this year as well, but I feel that the 12-day vacation was simply too short. Whining about it does not help, however, so let’s focus on things I’m looking forward ..
8 Perfumes for the Summer in the City
In Brussels, summer has decisively arrived. It’s been exceptionally warm for a week, with temperatures rising over 30 degrees Celsius today. The perfect time, then, to take a look at the summer perfumes I’m currently loving. As always, this is not a complete..
Best of 2017: Makeup, Perfume and Style
My makeup and perfume purchases slowed down considerably in 2017 and I’m not entirely sure how to tackle the style category, so I’ve combined all this into one post. Not everything here is new, but it’s all great and hopefully helpful.
Gucci Loafers and 6 Other Things For a New Job
Some of you know that I started a new job last week, joining the Estonian EU Presidency team for 10 months. I’m very excited: the work is going to be interesting and we’ll be doing great things. Less maturely, a new job also seems like a perfect excuse to bu..
Tom Ford Vert de Fleur and 9 Green Florals For Late Winter
As soon as the new year begins, I get tired of the comforting winter scents and start craving something that makes me think of spring. I have talked about my favourite white florals to wear in the cold, but this year I’ve been obsessed with greener options. ..
