My Style DNA
by Sofia - in Random
As promised my answers to the questions from the Classic Style book…
Always in your fridge
Parmesan cheese, milk or oat milk, Heinz ketchup, dijon mustard, Bonne Maman jam ( the jar makes me happy) and Hellman´s mayonnaise, veggies
Favourite Restaurant and dish you order on the menu
Depends on the country. In Helsinki Strindberg and the Salmon with a poached egg, in New York maybe Cipriani´s and their sublime pasta pesto, in Paris I love Ralph´s but my best memories and favourite dish are still from L´avenue and their pasta arrabbiata ( I can´t count the times I ate it). I love a great pasta any time. And Club 55 in Saint Tropez with great friends, steak tartar, pommes frites, crispy green salad and a cold rosé.
Quick description of your overall look
Well ironed button down shirt, high waisted pants, loafers or white tennis shoes
Can´t cook without
Great olive oil and salt
What you bring home in your suitcase when travelling abroad
Most likely something from a grocery store that has a beautiful package
Skill you dream of mastering
Crocheting, sailing, being the best mom to my girls
Wristwatch
Hermés Cape Cod wrap around
Make up
Simple, natural, enhancing rather than changing, sometimes red lips
Ice-cream flavour
Vanilla, pistachio, licorice, salted caramel ( can´t choose just one because it depends on the mood and situation and brand)
Makes you feel cozy
Cuddling in my husbands arms. Tucking my kids to bed and reading bed time stories under their duvets. Falling asleep to the sound of rain or waves.
Favourite colour
Navy blue, white, beige, grey, baby blue, light pink
Go-to drink
Cappuccino, lightly sparkling water with lemon, champagne or wine or a gin and tonic from cocktails.
Favourite holiday
I love city trips with one on one time with family like my girls, husband or my mom. I love traveling with a group of friends and some of my favourite holiday memories are from trips to the south of France on a friends yacht and I love going ski-ing with friends & their kids or somewhere hot with just our family. So I´m basically all over the place with this answer.
Your peaceful escape
The island or anywhere alone with my husband
Necessary extravagance
Fresh flowers
Favourite candy
Chocolate and liquorice
On your nightstand
Flowers, scented candle, books, hand cream and framed photos
Breakfast
Coffee first and later on weekdays fruit or a green smoothie, natural yoghurt with berries & granola. On weekends I love omelettes or croissants or even pancakes.
Favourite ingredient
Great olive oil, lemon, fresh herbs & parmesan, Maldon salt and freshly ground pepper.
Items packed in your suitcase-always
Pretty underpinnings, warm scarf for changing weather, my beauty bag and if I´m not on a work trip then heels and a little black dress because you never know. Never my jewellery, mom taught me to always put those in hand luggage.
Most worn out shoes
I buy a new pair of white Superga and Converse sneakers every summer and wear them out ( and wash them quite frequently as I love them white). They just look better when not too shabby. Also running shoes.
Sunglasses
Céline tortoishells
Writig implement
Muji 0,5 black ink.
Favourite fabric pattern
Stripes & Toile
Beloved movie
Anything by Nancy Meyers
Who inspires you?
My mother, Pinterest, some friends & people I follow on Instagram
Everything goes better with
Loved ones and good music
I hope you liked this little Q & A. I always love reading these kinds of things about people! And they are fun to answer too…
Have a great day,

When reading lists like these you realize why you feel close to some people. And why you suddenly find soulmates in people you have only known for a short while. Many of these answers could be mine. Of course some exceptions, but the defining ones are similar. Kindred spirits. That’s what we are.

Tämä oli kiva lukea. Voisin kirjoittaa omaan päiväkirjaani vastaukset samoihin kysymyksiin. Kerroit, mitä on yöpöydälläsi ja niinpä katsahdin omalle yöpöydälleni ja sieltä löytyi yölampun lisäksi nenäliinoja, vedellä täytetty tuttipullo, Stockmannin mainos sekä Pipsa possu kirja.
Katja, ehkäpä yöpöydän sisältö kertoo myös elämänvaiheesta! Minullakin siinä usein muuten joku tyttöjen jättämä pikku juttu!
