From the perspective of a Finnish woman:

Cubus - only in Finland, Sweden, Norway.
Ellos - clearly their cuts aren’t for me but there are some gems appearance- and material-wise for someone, only in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark.
Cellbes - plus sizes for women and men, open menu and scroll to bottom for other countries

Women only:
Toiveshop - mostly women, some unisex.
Nosh - women only, 13€ EU shipping and another 13€ returns, I don’t think they even have a site in other languages.
Ulla Popken - plus size women, scroll down for EU web stores.

I also have to link Damadesign, first because I love their designs and materials, and second because they will do adjustments to make a bespoke garment for an additional 15-60€. So you could have a timeless, simple, made to measure LBD for 220€. Not sure if they do foreign orders. I’d love to know more these kinds of shops!

More tips would be very welcome!

Picked up five(!) clothing packages today. I’m systematically downsizing/upgrading my wardrobe for the first time (at 40+ and a stable-ish size). Actually had a couple of meetings with a stylist and all (which I would recommend, mine was excellent even when I told her I wasn’t going to do some of the things she thought were important).

• used dark green/orange/white pattern shibori scarf, gorgeous, love it, recommend
• used dark green european-style (rounded corners) thick wool shawl(?)/long shoulder wrap, gorgeous, perfect for autum or layering, recommend
• used colorful viscose scarf, brand name, kind of disappointing, too thick for summer and too bright for any other season, not recommended
• dark turquoise alpaca cardigan, gods that was expensive, gods that’s gorgeous, recommended depending what your priorities are
• grey alpaca knit skirt, knit skirts are a new thing for me so we’ll see, recommended based on your style and priorities
• a small haul from a basic clothing store, of basic cotton, cotton/viscose, or viscose/polyamide based tunics and pants, unfortunately the fits were off, keeping just one set of pants but trying another size of a tunic, not recommended :/

In general it’s probably all up to your personality/style, shape, and colours.

A Question, An Answer - Baroque Meditations on Life and Death (compositions by Tobias Hume, played by Stefano Zanobini on the viola d’amore)

Stumbled across this one a few months ago when looking for music for viola da gamba (which this is not), and last week listened to it a lot. Something about the simplicity, playfulness, and contrast of professional soldier/innovative composer historical fact appeals to me.
