Meet my Michael van Der Ham skirt I bought the second I noticed Net-A-Porter started it’s sale (in EU). It’s probably the most luxurious item in my wardrobe because of the feel of it – it’s silk and weighs next to nothing. Perfect to mix with simple t-shirts or plain knits. I’m in love! Ostin […]

  I bought these pretty ballerinas yesterday from Zara. Now as I said they’re super pretty but I’ve NEVER been a ballerina-kind-of-a-girl-nor-a-woman. It’s enough of a transition to be wearing flats all the time but ballerinas!? I’m totally torn! Oh and please don’t think that I don’t have real problems. I just don’t share them here […]

I have a soft spot for small and simple gold jewellery and was thrilled to find these gold dipped Dogeared necklaces in Sofinah store (who have just opened their webstore). A tip: they’ve just received a new stock of Dogeared rings in store on Uudenmaankatu. P.S. Apologies for the unplanned pause in posts. The baby […]

Näytös13, the Aalto University fashion show ended a week of fashion in Helsinki last Friday. Here’s photos of my favorite collection by Sophie Sälekari, who was given Diesel Award as well as the Aalto Award, given by five Pre Helsinki invitees: Rue du Mail’s Marc Ascoli and Martine Sitbon, Karen van Godtsenhoven from Fashion Museum […]

Summer must-haves: crop top / bralette (perfect with anything high waisted) and earrings with a mid/southern american vibe. Both from H&M. Tässä pari pakkohankintaa kesää varten: bralette / toppi (täydellinen minkä tahansa korkeavyötäröisen kanssa) ja korvikset Etelä-Amerikka viboilla. Molemmat H&M:ltä.

Did you go to yesterday’s Pre Helsinki presentations? What did you think? I loved the variety, from Siloa & Mook’s traditional catwalk (above) to Ensaemle’s installation (below) and Sasu Kauppi’s presentation inside an old freight elevator. (Photos by Meri Karhu / Pre Helsinki) Kuka kävi eilisessä Pre Helsinki presentaatiossa? Mitä mieltä olitte? 

My new favorite patterns to mix: leopard and camo. Wearing thrifted pumps, scarf and coat, Celine jeans (got these on Fashionkirppis last weekend and learned that Céline not only makes the perfect bags but jeans as well), Damir Doma Silent men’s cardigan (from Helsinki10 final sale, rip) and Céline bag. Man it feels good to […]

This! Balenciaga! Watch! Want, want, want! (& testing a new font. What do you think? The all capital font looks just too big now as everything is BIGGER.) Iiiihana Ballukka-kello löytyy täältä. (samassa testaan uutta fonttia. Oisko tää parempi kuin aiempi all caps? Se näyttää uudessa Lilyssä liian isolta.)

SILOA & MOOK IS A NEW LABEL BASED IN HELSINKI WHOSE FIRST COLLECTION IS THE FOLLOWING FALL-WINTER 2013.
