Mimosa is blooming

admin — Thu, 01 Mar 2018 23:59:54 +0000

Mimosa is blooming in California. I dream of a Celiné sundress and wear a yellow shirt. The color yellow is often associated with optimism, happiness and laughter. Of all colors, it is closest to divine light, and architect Luis Barragán used it as a reference to spirituality. In large doses, yellow can be too stimulating […]

Jungle Style

In a hot, humid climate, you want to wear clothes that are beautiful but not so, that you could not sit on the beach when you feel like it. I packed some light dresses and silk pieces with me, but ended up gravitating towards all cotton everything only: white t-shirts, shorts, and a pile of […]

Colors of Now

I think it is fun to watch how what we consider classic or neutral changes, especially in the way we dress. How a trench coat gets slimmer in a decade or, like it has, for the past years, become looser. Neutral colors now, have more depth and flavor than five years ago.

Dressless dressing

admin — Fri, 18 Aug 2017 07:59:05 +0000

In a hot climate, style is made in the bathroom, and rather than a look, it is an attitude. You wash your face and teeth, you comb your hair, apply your lotions, maybe spray things on you. By washing and grooming yourself in a mindful manner – even if it is just for yourself – […]

Shhhh…

admin — Thu, 15 Jun 2017 05:55:59 +0000

Earthy colors and textures feel calming. Just like the sounds of nature feel calming, even though they are actually not silent at all. The sounds are just in harmony which makes them not noisy. Favorite summer accessories right now: a simple jute bag, Minnetonka moccasins, Samuji slip-on sandals and Céline sunnies. Visual silence.

75 mm

I am packing for summer. I am going to spend most of it barefeet at the Italian country. For dining out, I have discovered the brilliance of a modest heel. It gives you a nice posture and a dressed up feel, yet you don’t get your heels destroyed with gravel, grass, or whatever it is you […]

Spring Edit

admin — Thu, 06 Apr 2017 16:59:07 +0000

Purify, purify. I am in a constant process of editing my wardrobe into something more precise and minimal. And then I feel the urge to be more playful and wear something crazy. Just to amuse myself. So I think the style I am aiming at lies somewhere between loud and super clean. One thing I have […]

Luminous

Two tricks I have learned from the makeup artists I have worked with, both focused on light. One-minute facelift When going out and not having time to re-do your whole makeup, adding concealer under eyes and inner corners of your eyes provides an instant facelift. Believe me, this does more to your face than adding […]

White

admin — Thu, 02 Feb 2017 05:59:19 +0000

White is for fresh starts. White cleanses and purifies. White also communicates emptiness – and emptiness can be perceived as limitless possibilities. In the Nordic, because of the dark winter months, walls of the home are traditionally painted white because white reflects light. While black is total absorption, white is total reflection. White is really attractive […]

Purple

Purple is the shortest wavelength of colors and the last visible wavelength before the ultraviolet (UV) ray. Considered a color of consciousness, purple calms the body and balances the mind. For some reason, right now, I have nothing more relevant to write about purple than an Agnes Martin quote I just read in the magnificent […]
