Life in a Cold Climate is a chronicle of my attempts at life (and style, occasionally) in a cold climate.

[LifeInAColdClimate @lifecoldclimate]

@poodleofdoom Thank you. I try to keep the blog relatvely free of politics, mostly because of my job. But things seep through occasionally🙂

[LifeInAColdClimate @lifecoldclimate]

@poodleofdoom I am grateful for all the above, but I follow very few people on Twitter and - I guess the same way you mute things - never knowingly people whose views I find very difficult to bear. I should have noticed earlier, but I’m not here often. All the best to you, too.

[LifeInAColdClimate @lifecoldclimate]

@poodleofdoom In many cases, there is no way to come legally or no hope to be accepted. Not to mention that small children have no say in what their parents do. But I know I’m wasting my time, just felt compelled to say something before I unfollow.

[LifeInAColdClimate @lifecoldclimate]

@poodleofdoom And I hope you will never need to flee from an oppressive regime or any other horror, like many Estonians in the last century. Or people who came to be known as Americans, come to think of it.

@mcdaleena Have been attempting to learn the lyrics to Soldi for five days now. Project complicated by not knowing the language, but not giving up.

Opression everywhere? Climate out of control? Lies? Desperation? I’m talking about this genius trilogy by @nkjemisin. Read and weep and marvel. #sff | Life in a Cold Climate https://t.co/jgL7UZbmzV

As @mydrunkelephant comes to Europe, I tell you everything about their products. Almost. #drunkelephant #drunkinlove #skincare https://t.co/tm5bmLkbbD

Day 28: it is cold in Brussels and freezing in Estonia (travelling there tomorrow), so Russian Tea by Masque Milano seems fitting. It’s leather, black tea and raspberry jam. #30daysofperfume #SOTD #masquemilano #russiantea

[LifeInAColdClimate @lifecoldclimate]

Day 27: wearing Bois de Violette by @SergeLutens_EN - beautiful woody, spicy, violetty goodness. I think I prefer the elder sibling, Feminte du Bois (one of my favourite perfumes ever), but it’s a tough call. #30daysofperfume #SOTD #sergelutens #boisdeviolette

Day 26: cheating a tiny bit, as I don’t own Tender by @Miller_Harris, hence it’s definitely not among my neglected perfumes. But I really wanted to try out the sample, as it’s an intriguing green floral, a great option for spring. #30daysofperfume #SOTD #millerharris

Day 25 was Fleur de Chine by @TOMFORD, a huge favourite that he has seen fit to discontinue (see also Velvet Gardenia). It smells like the most sophisticated, gorgeous soap ever. The bottle no longer has a label, so no picture. #30daysofperfume #SOTD #tomford #fleurdechine

Let’s just say it’s day 24 and continue. Wearing Vanille d’Iris by @OrmondeJayne. Another iris, but quite different from the majority I own - with vanilla and fruity notes.#30daysofperfume #SOTD #ormodejayne

[LifeInAColdClimate @lifecoldclimate]

@DaveStPaul I highly recommend you do, it’s a beautiful iris. I have a review on the blog, if you’re interested (it’s not quite as austere as I made it sound here, but it’s and excellent winter iris).

[LifeInAColdClimate @lifecoldclimate]

Day 23: Iris Cendre by Naomi Goodsir. This is what I wore before a horrible virus took me down for days. Iris, ice and ashes. Beautiful. #30daysofperfume #SOTD #naomigoodsir #iriscendre
