Restyling Challenge: Strawberry Vintage
I know the order is usually ‘strawberries and cream’, but in this case we have already had the cream and I’m now following up with strawberries. As I mentioned in that last style post, I am encouraging myself to wear things I already own and if I really need..
Restyling Challenge: All Cream Everything
I mentioned in my autumn trends overview that I’ve got some style posts coming where I will either take an old favourite and restyle it or create a look based on vintage pieces. This is a deliberate attempt to curb my tendency to constantly buy new, exciting..
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..
The Dark Side of the Sun: Summer Black vol 2
I you were here yesterday, you are already aware that I have embarked on a week-long project of posting black outfits for summer. I know it’s already August and there isn’t much time left, but even if you are generally dubious about wearing black in summer, ..

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 ..
Workwear Wednesday: All Beige Everything
Ah, finally – a proper style post! Not that this one is going to surprise you, as I have been harping on about beige and head-to-toe tonal dressing for months now. What can I say, it’s what I want to wear at the moment and if you are a person who works in a ..
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..
Workwear Wednesday: A Leopard Print Dress
I know that there is a small – but vocal! – group among the readers here who have been eagerly awaiting more leopard print. Lo and behold, here it is! I do, however, implore the leopardophobes to take a look as well: it is my firm belief that this particular..
Workwear Wednesday: Streamlined Knits
When someone says ‘knitwear’, I automatically think of something cosy and big and chunky. There are, of course, other types of knitted items that don’t fit that description and I in fact wear them often: my polonecks and fitted cashmere sweaters belong in th..
