Just like last year and the year before, every May I am back with a free supply of pink peonies that grow in a garden not far away from us. It’s my boyfriend’s mother that has pink and white peonies in her garden. Peonies are my favorite flowers. They always give me inspiration for looks that are feminine and oh, so pretty.

In this pandemic I grew my hair longer. Haven’t had it this long since 2009. I tried making it darker but the blonde sticks to me. My hair is naturally very curly and my hair color close to a red-ish dark blonde. In the end I dyed my roots darker and right now I am back to a very light blonde.
This spring the biggest trend is “daisies everything“. All the pretty daisy prints should come my way. The hair is longer and I can experiment as much as I like with it. In this post you’ll mostly see the back of my head, blonde hair wrapped in a pony tail. And I feel like I should wear my hair up in buns a lot now. Continue Reading…
There is a park where tulips grow in many different colours. I went there. Spring hasn’t been kind to me here, it’s like the soundtrack to this pandemic: gloomy, cold, rainy and with no hope in sight for a glimpse of sunshine. Even as I’m writing this, it’s pouring rain outside. The winter cold hasn’t really left.
A good opportunity to wear my other Burberry cashmere scarf. I have it in black also. I wanted to actually sit somewhere and drink a cup of coffee, but it was actually chilly and my little feet were frozen by the end of it. Nature prevails by the end no matter what. And we as humans will get out of this. Continue Reading…
Do you ever feel like dressing like a grandma, some days? I do and I did in this blog post. I have a soft spot for patterns, so much so that my closet was full of patterns a few years back. A little bit irritating when it came to actually mixing and matching and come up with outfits that were visually pleasing. I barely had any basics, except my jeans. I was a walking optical illusion.
So I grew, and I learned: what works for me, what defines my style. That’s why I started this blog. I usually don’t follow trends and don’t give in to the idea that you have to wear the “it” thing of the moment. I have the same skinny jeans and the same boots I’ve been wearing to death. I used to shop compulsively and only wear a few items. Who isn’t doing that? We shop for a second of high and then have these piles of clothes that never get used. Since then I have learned to cherish what I wear. To find meaning in each item I wear. To attach to a memory, a workplace, a personal event, a time happy or sad. Continue Reading…
Welcome Spring, again. In my heart and in my soul. No, I haven’t ditched the black just yet, but I do love my thrifted green parka jacket so I decided, since we are in a perpetual quarantine, to spend a rather warm day getting all dolled up near the woods where I live. It’s still an early Spring, not much new leafage to prance around in, though.
This look is what I call “a British going to the countryside” look. I’m not comfortable in wool blazers, so my parka, which has traveled with me quite a bit in the English countryside, will do. Continue Reading…
It’s been exactly one year now since this pandemic started. I’m celebrating in black and a pop of color. A pop of color symbolising hope. Hope that I get to travel again, that I get to live my life outside of home. What immense effects this past year will have on us only time will tell.
I’m a sucker for witchy asymmetric wool coats, leathers and belts. The fashionable witch is again here. Granted, this would have worked perfectly with a pair of skinny tight leather pants, but #spring is oh so closely here. No boots, just the favorite heels of the year. In black. In leather.
