When it comes to style, I’m a bit temperamental. Every kind of mood – from jeans-and-t-shirt days to classic and elegant days to hipster chic days – happens.

The Lazy Girl Guide to: Skincare


As a self-professed queen of lazing about and procrastinating as long as humanly possible on everything under the sun, I understand the siren call of not wanting to do anything with your self and making every day 'jammie day'. I get that you just really do not want to bother. But as moving to the tropics has taught me, you have to work to be beautiful.

And then – some hours of running around like a headless chicken later – the utterly predictable happened; the flight was delayed. With airport wifi acting like the shit it was, there was only one path left to take, really: I bought Burger King chicken nuggets, drooled over the adorable backpacker pouting at his fries in one corner and then went to explore the duty-free shopping.
