I want something more simple

admin — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 04:00:49 +0000

Spring 2020 forced me to lead a more local and home-centered life than I am used to. I don’t complain. It’s kind of nice actually. It’s the type of simplicity I believe many of us like, although we do not always give into it. The fear of missing out stopping us, possibly. There is a […]

What remains

admin — Thu, 04 May 2017 12:58:00 +0000

In one way or another, I have always worked with clothes. That has lead into owning a lot of clothes, until the recent years, when reducing has been the operative word for wardrobe maintenance in my house. The less you buy and own, the more weight each choice carries. Another fairly new tendency I recognize is […]

Simple pleasures

admin — Thu, 20 Apr 2017 08:58:59 +0000

Have your feet scrubbed and pedicured. (You will leave a lot of past life behind you, and feel lighter.) Wear sandals. (Oh, the bliss of feeling the breeze on your toes after they were tucked in socks and shoes most of the winter.) Walk barefoot on the beach. (Breathe, and you will find all your […]

Handmade

The more virtual the world becomes, the more we seem to find pleasure in the handmade – in the arts and crafts, things with a human imprint and often some kind of unique feature or irregularity that only increases the beauty and value of the object. You sense the time and talent that went into […]

Ageless

I am liking the direction Samu-Jussi Koski is taking his Samuji collections – both the womenswear line and the home line. The pieces feel elegant and timeless but they also carry a strong personality: stories, remembrances, meaningful attention to detail. My wardrobe contains a lot of Samuji since I have been working with the studio for […]

Black

Black is the densest color. Actually it is all colors totally absorbed and in its total absorption it reflects no wavelengths. Black gives structure, it creates a frame and feels grounding. As for clothes, I like tend to wear more black in August than in January or April. I find layers of black easily too […]

Body Wise: Better Sleep

admin — Thu, 19 Jan 2017 05:00:28 +0000

Getting enough restful sleep is one of the most significant things you can do for your health. We all know it and feel it. To look and feel your best, you need to sleep enough, and when you don’t, you cannot continue for very long until things start falling apart. Sleep is the best mind-clearing […]

Slip into

admin — Thu, 22 Dec 2016 05:55:22 +0000

Light colors and loose layers do not have to be for summer only. I like the idea of dressing in layers of draping blouses, dresses, vests, knits and silk trousers around the darkest time of the year too. For evenings, I prefer anything silky in cream or black. That is so to-the-point, just calm and beautiful, […]

Shopping NY

Oh, the options, they are endless. Yet these seven Manhattan destinations feel particularly relevant this fall. McNally Jackson Books 52 Prince Street, New York, NY 10012 With a rich selection of art, design and cookbooks, and a well-curated magazine section, this is my favorite bookstore in New York. If you do not want to leave just yet […]

Head first

The super-sized mohair beanie is the perfect accessory for keeping warm and, when needed, having your privacy. No wonder it is so a popular right now. For me, wearing the beanie feels like having a modern armor similar to sunglasses or headphones. It brings me peace by keeping any extra noise out. Plus, of course, it looks super cute on.
