Sweet obsolescence

I finally got my old (+ 12 years) wrist watch repaired. Originally this sport watch had a pleasant rubber wrist band — but it did not really last in use, so it was replaced with a steel band from the...

2ndhand coat

This lovely wool coat was waiting for me in UFF 5€ day — it comfortably accommodates my chunky sweaters underneath. The generous lines don’t mind a little bulk underneath — but I do like to pair it w...

Altewai.Saome online

Wow, probably no news to anyone but me — anyway just noticed that Altewai.Saome has a webstore. Too bad all the fabulous, gigantic circuit board accessories are gone — but I would not mind the Blueto...

More structure

I’ve been absent recently — there’s plenty of going on in my life right now. Add the midwinter lighting conditions, winter weather and my aversion for outdoors outfit photography — not too much going...

Paris second hand

I found this rabbit trapper hat (or Hrustsev hat… …eh) and a pair of almost unused English derby shoes from fabulous Kiliwatch.

Paris, Instagrammed

In the beginning of December I did a partially work related trip to Paris. Yes, I did have my decent camera with me but it rained almost every day — so the few Instagram images are pretty much all do...

The beggar

I apologize my human weakness — posts like this will not be regulars in this blog. Shortly put, there’s a blog competition going on (for Finnish style blogs), and the winner goes to NYFW. Not going t...

Pencil silhouette

For my body type — curvy and feminine in relatively small boned frame — it would be all natural to explore the classic pin-up silhouettes. I just can’t do that. What I can do is to take a piece or tw...

My witchy fingers weighted down with crystals

I got the gorgeous Blood Milk lookbook to my e-mail over a week ago — but I just did not have time for blogging last week. However this lookbook and Blood Milk jewelry definitely deserve attention… …...

Timeless

I usually keep my nails short — but they grow so fast that sometimes I have some unintended tip length. This time I decided to utilize it, shaped the tip to gentle almond shape and applied the best n...

Outer layers

Few days ago I discovered that I can wear this old H&M suede vest on top of my grey leather jacket with rather interesting results — not to mention how much this extends the season for both of th...

Look, shiny!

I guess it is safe to say that the season IT-shoe — Miu Miu glitter boot — will not magically end up to my wardrobe. Instead I’m painting my nails with the most outrageous glitter polishes there is, ...

As good as it gets

My interest to H&M shoes has been quite low, most of the stuff they make tend to be imitation leather — and being a material snob that is the threshold for me. No imitation leather in my wardrobe...

Lace for winter

H&M Conscious Collection did not get much blog exposure this autumn — I just wonder why. There were some quite nice pieces — like this organic cotton lace pencil skirt. A perfect, timeless additi...

Samuji salon show

Today I visited Samuji mini show for loyal customers. Can’t really brag about my loyality, though — so far I have purchased just one Samuji knit — and even that with –50% price tag on it. But guess t...

Anna Ruohonen SS 2011

I think that every working woman in traditional office environment should check Anna Ruohonen for beautifully cut shift dresses and separates that could be positioned somewhere in between formal and ...

Velvet leaves

I found this Ritva Falla for Marimekko tunic / dress from charity shop recently. It is gorgeous burned silk and viscose velvet — and the body is lined with silk. The color suits me surprisingly well,...

The everyday story

Dear all. Im’ here to warn you about the dangers of self-employment. You might end up on endless rut of wearing T:s and denim — and getting overtly excited about a pair of jeans that don’t act as a c...

Black basics — and then some

I would probably have ordered something from COS netstore already — if there weren’t a strange shortage in selection. I need a simple black dress that extends easily from daywear to evening. No jerse...

That shoulder… …thing…

Oh, girly beyond the measure! This weird mass of a knit on my shoulders is truly an accessory — Warmi shoulder straps in gorgeous baby alpaca, from The Moon & Mars as well. My second favorite sho...

Oh, dear… …COS web store open

I think there has been a hint or promise in the air for a while… …but now it is true. COS opened a web store. That scuba dress to wear with matte tights and my mint green Doc Martens, heavy multicolo...

Saara Lepokorpi SS 2012

Oh wow, I’m totally blown away by the beauty of Saara Lepokorpi spring collection! Lightweight pieces that look deceptively simple when photographed laying on the floor, but can be draped and tied ma...

A suit with a chain

My time has been consumed by work lately. I do not intent to endorse hectic lifestyle with all work, no play –mentality, but hey, in our own small company I don’t always have a choice. I do feel bad,...

I made it

Yeah, I finally made it! Actually knitting this sweater was a snap — but those about five million yarn ends and particularly tedious finishing job with laceweight mohair almost demolished my working ...

KappAhl Designer’s Finest

To be honest from the big Swedes KappAhl has mundane and perhaps a bit dusty image in my mind. I mainly shop there for their well fitting cotton undies. But in spite of that their special collection ...

Autumn wishlist (with reality check)

What I truly would love to add to my wardrobe this autumn is the gorgeous suede jacket by Di$count — and a pair of two toned flats by Marcell via LN-CC. The jacket is such an awesome piece with all t...

Snow can wait

Gosh, aren’t the Rodarte for Opening Ceremony pieces great? Delicious textural contrasts, romantic styles with a dark edge, primness without 100% properness… …images via Tobacco & Leather, more.

Space odyssey 2011

Last week I bumped into a thing that a flight attendant from Space Odyssey 2001 could wear on her free time. I’ve said that I’m not too into obvious retro styles, but somehow I can make an exception ...
