Dagmar: My favourite Swedish Fashion Label

March 29, 2015 by Helena Halme Leave a Comment

I found Dagmar last year when I saw this skirt on the naughty-but-nice Net-a-Porter site. Its green camouflage pattern is really flattering, and the zips on the side make it a little more fun than a normal pencil skirt would be. It's also very stretchy, so even on 'fat days' I can fit into it. I've … [Read more...]

What are your characters wearing?

September 26, 2013 by Helena Halme 4 Comments

A few years ago, during a critique session on my MA in Creative Writing course, a fellow student pointed out that I often described what my characters were wearing in some considerable detail. This wasn't a criticism as such, she said, but just something she'd noticed. (We’d had a lot of lessons … [Read more...]

Holiday packing: capsule wardrobe time

June 21, 2011 by Helena Halme 2 Comments

I'm hopeless at packing for a holiday. First of all I can't do it much ahead of time because the weather where we usually go (Åland Islands in Finland) is always unpredictable, and I have to wait until I have a proper reliable forecast.

Never go back

July 21, 2010 by Helena Halme 6 Comments

We've only been out of our house for a couple of days, but due to the incompetence of the removal company, we had to go and collect a few potted plants from our old house today. As our chocolate Labrador's new home is next door, we thought we'd nip in to see how he was doing.Well, he was doing fine … [Read more...]

Same old, same old…

April 25, 2010 by Helena Halme 7 Comments

 Some of the presents for my birthday were envelopes containing hard cash. I have absolutely nothing against this,  even if it smacks of teenager presents. I love having an amount to spend just on myself, as I have a very specific style and taste, which sometimes may be difficult … [Read more...]
