Autumn Fragrance Update: 5 Newbies
The autumn has arrived in Brussels – it was properly chilly yesterday and while I’m very firm in my belief that warm weather is preferable to cold, I do enjoy getting out my more autumnal fragrances. I don’t have much new to report to those who have been rea..
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..
Return of the Gloss
Now, let’s make one thing clear: I had the idea for this post long before Lisa Eldridge published her take on the new glosses. I did! Honest! But I had to postpone it because of the stupid Chanel: I was waiting for their new lipsticks to reach Belgium and it..
Tropical Make-Up
Whenever I’m in a warm place, I like to use the opportunity to wear bright, colourful make-up. I do wear colour day-to-day as well, but there are some things that work much better for me when I have a slight tan. Anything coral or orange for example is almos..

6 (OK, 8) Favourite Foundations for Autumn
Considering my flighty nature, I used to be surprisingly loyal to my foundation favourites: I mostly wore the beautifully dewy YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat, occasionally switching to Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua and Laura Mercier’s classic tinted moisturizer. But th..
The ‘Oh, Shit!’ Body Kit
You know those ridiculous articles in women’s magazines that promise you a beach body in 2/3/4 weeks, depending on the general ridiculousness level of the magazine? Aren’t these the worst? They are. When I’ve got a surplus of sarcasm, I like to direct it tow..
Scents of the Day: Part 4
Last year, I did a project called Scent of the Day. For a month, every day, I talked about a scent on Facebook. I have been asked by friends to make these musings available on the blog, as it’s impossible to find anything on Facebook. So I’ll copy my mini-re..
