Bois de Balincourt

admin — Thu, 01 Mar 2018 23:54:28 +0000

I do not wear a lot of perfume these days, but this one felt immediately own. Very sensual, delicate and natural with no synthetic notes. I found it in Los Angleles two years ago and have been wearing it ever since. Bois de Balincourt is named after a stately family home and inspired by the surrounding […]

The Raincoat

Two decades without a raincoat – I cannot believe I survived, even though you can hardly call that an achievement. Looking for a raincoat last fall I learned there are basically two types available. Thin raincoats weigh nothing. Have you tried them? When it rains, they are like an umbrella wrapped around you, that is, […]

Have a Seat

Sheepskins are the loveliest thing to sit on. I like to store them for summer, though, to make room for lighter textiles. As the temperatures drop, it is time to bring back all things woollen and furry. The Line carries a beautiful, basic selection of Icelandic sheepskins with long hair. I have also found great […]

Pull over and back

admin — Fri, 15 Sep 2017 05:55:04 +0000

September style staples: layers, pullovers and pulled back hair. The wind is just too harsh for anything else. I joined a crab fish party at Savoy a couple of weeks back and it was lovely, as always. The only hiccup of the evening was the time we spent on the terrace, ladies standing as close […]

The art of bathing

admin — Thu, 19 Jan 2017 04:57:30 +0000

In the Zen tradition physical and spiritual cleansing are one. Bathing is essential for your health. Your senses come together. You get in touch with your physicality and notice your body instead of living in your bossy head only. Your metabolism gets stimulated, knotted muscles are eased and a lot of toxins get eliminated through […]

Less, but better

admin — Thu, 17 Nov 2016 04:57:42 +0000

“Buy less, choose well, make it last.” Vivienne Westwood has a point as she talks about fashion being too cheap and most of us buying more clothes than we need. I am not going to play a god here and pretend I knew how the world should be, so I can only relate to this […]

A good sweater

admin — Thu, 13 Oct 2016 14:59:35 +0000

A good sweater is a good friend. With dull light and cold weather, it is the piece you would like to wear every day. It is the piece that transforms a smart yet stiff outfit into something elegantly effortless. The piece that comforts you and warms you up. Soft and flexible, it changes into something else, […]

You won’t forget

admin — Thu, 08 Sep 2016 04:58:07 +0000

Uka nail oil is the only nail product I have ever used regularly. Ever since I bought my first bottle, I have had no ragged cuticles. I cannot say, though, if this is because the product is supreme, or simply because applying the product will quickly become a pleasurable ritual you do not want to skip. […]
