HOW TO BECOME A MINIMALIST
Minimalism is a lifestyle philosophy emphazised on intentionally simplifying one’s life by reducing excess possessions, commitments, and distractions. Embracing minimalism can lead to increased clarity, focus, and contentment by prioritizing what truly matters. Here are some steps I took as a beginner on the journey of becoming a minimalist.
Embracing
Minimalism
Minimalism often begins with decluttering physical spaces, getting rid of items that are unnecessary or don’t serve a purpose. In 2017, my journey to minimalism started, and the first step I took was to declutter my entire space. The process was liberating and helped create a sense of space and calmness…

FOR THE LOVE OF AUTUMN
- Raquel Franco -
“And the sun took a step back, the leaves lulled themselves to sleep and Autumn was awakened.”
Hello Stylish people,
Today is a beautiful Autumn day, It sounds surreal that Autumn is here and we are already talking about it. Summer left us without a notice. Now, we all can attest to the fact that summer 2022 left a scorching trail behind it. What a hot summer we had, I complained bitterly towards the middle of July because it was enough. Now that Autumn has fully crawled up on us, it feels like a huge relief even though the contrast of going from a very hot scorching summer to a rainy and windy weather is vast. However, we are humans and we will never be content with any weather. Lol
I’m looking forward to the beautiful, rainy and windy days ahead, while I spend quality time with the family in the aura of some well scented autumnal candles. The Swift of Colours between the leaves is also a nostalgic moment you can’t escape, especially here in Sweden. I will also have to go decor shopping to bring in some pieces that will channel the warmth of the autumnal energy at home.
Wishing you all a wonderful Autumn day, until the next post. Bye
With much love, Vera
NEW SEASON
NEW PICKS / AW2022
Why not create this ensemble with a trouser in the same colour? Since we’re creating a monochromatic look, we’ll go with the same colour range and of course without prints. I love how both pieces can be worn separately with other pieces.
Zara deserves applause for this gorgeous piece. This colour is far from the neutrals however, we can make do with a change, especially now that the new season is gradually catching up with us. This set has been waiting in the shopping cart for a while now and I’m 150% sure it’s making its way to me. Magenta is the season’s colour and will definitely step into the role of a statement piece. This ensemble will bring forth so many creative outfits that I can’t wait to style.
ATP ATELIER has an array of classic and timeless leather bags. I couldn’t carry on with the styling of this gorgeous number without the intervention of a classy bag in the same colour, as I’m thinking of a monochromatic look. I’m keeping the accessories minimal but the twisted handle of this bag will add an absolute touch of elegance to the outfit.
With much love, Vera

1. Clutter – Before you start decorating your space, make sure you sort out any possible clutter.
2. Wallpaper – Your wallpaper shouldn’t look like you poured all the colours of the rainbow on it/them. Choose solid colours and then you can add the colours via furniture, textiles and artworks.
3. Textiles – Your textiles shouldn’t cost an arm but you should be able to get good quality ones. See your textiles as your final accessory that ties up the entire look that you have spent so much time and money to put together.

Hello stylish people,
Today’s post is going to be about some of my favourite fancy and aesthetically pleasing places to eat in Accra-Ghana. When it comes to eating in Ghana, specifically Accra, it comes down to preferences and how much one is willing to spend. There’s a sea of street food on every allé of Accra and a wise person once said the best way to know a town or a country is via it’s street food culture…
There’s a calming and tranquil sense to neutral colours which mostly turn to create a Zen-like vibe. Now, neutrals don’t have to be boring at all so don’t be scared to tap into this colour zone if you haven’t yet.
