For years, I used to wear red nail polish on my toenails in summer. Not for luck as much as to look a bit more done. It was my summer makeup. I think a red lip or red nails look so beautiful against bare […]

That’s an option. I do that every now and then. I take a shower in the morning, put on fresh PJ’s, make breakfast and crawl into bed with my computer or a book. Anyone who travels for work, or […]

It looks like a flower. The kimono style opera coat by Samuji will take all my outfits to the next level. Instead of orange, I pre-ordered it in navy. Lunching at Duddell’s in Hong Kong, I could not […]

]]> Ageless http://www.minutes.fi/themes/loving-life/ageless/ Thu, 16 Feb 2017 04:55:57 +0000 http://www.minutes.fi/?p=3342 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 http://www.minutes.fi/themes/august/black/ Thu, 02 Feb 2017 05:00:37 +0000 http://www.minutes.fi/?p=3273 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 […]

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 […]

Fred Segal 8100 Melrose Avenue Fred Segal opened as a jeans-only store in 1961. Today, it carries a well-curated mix of American and international brands focused on casual style and still, great denim. Mauro’s Café, […]

A coffee break or a lunch break when I am working. A break from being active. A break from resting. A break from being online. A mini-getaway after a work week. Or a break from vacationing. Taking a break means changing the rhythm of whatever it is I have been doing for long. […]

Just look at small children, how much they enjoy the same tricks and stories, repeated endless times.  Familiar habits, forms, textures and smells bring us comfort.
