Hello it’s me again. Greetings from my travels and so on. Busy life, busy girl. The Rick winter coat is new, I snatched it with unbelievable -70% discount and couldn’t be happier; It has all the qualifications I was looking for from the massive hood to the length of the hem (clearer pictures to come, I promise). Thanks to Rhia‘s amazing sewing skills, it is now resized to fit me even better. Winter, bring it on!

Just before dark

New York fashion week has never been my absolute favorite but this fall I had to applaud to one designer for making a wearable and solid collection to my liking, it being Narciso Rodriguez‘ S/S11. Hence, I was extremely honored to be invited to Helsinki for the opening party of his new collaboration collection with Lindex and to pick a few of my personal favorites from it.

I had previewed this collaboration which goes by the name “Pink Collection” (and is supporting the battle against breast cancer with 10% of the profit going to good cause) online and knew exactly the pieces I wanted to try on and take home with me. One of my choices was an elegant little black dress with pleated seams, a dress which can be easily worn from the day to night by just changing the accessories. My second pick were sturdy, pant like leggins which I’ve been desperately trying to seek from everywhere and finally with this opportunity, found the perfect pair. All and all, a pretty successful evening.

If you want to see the whole collection and take part in a gift card give away for this special collaboration, do visit the Pink Collection’s showroom pages!

The sandal hunt

You know when you see the perfect shoes but they have run out of your size everywhere, and nothing else seems to fulfil your dreams than the specific pair you fell in love with? You give up the search and think you have lost the game for good. Then all of a sudden, a second chance comes, and you find something even better with a -50% mark down. It’s about the best feeling in the world when you know that all along, it was meant to be this way.

So here they are, my new Haider Ackermann sandals, on their way from Sweden. I know summer has already passed it’s half way mark but I don’t care, since the look out  for the right pair of sandals started already this spring. I’m crossing my fingers that the size is right, which we’ll see it in about a week.

Chain mail

A couple of days ago the postman brought me a pleasant mail which came in the form of black leather and steel chains. The reason for this new venture in my wardrobe is that in our summer party, we all got a gift card to the gTie boutique, and after spending hours admiring the shop’s many offerings, I decided to go with the Spaideri shoulder chain. When I finally got to try the piece on, I knew I had made the right choice: This little thing shall spicen up any outfit and will provide a simple solution to those days when necklaces and bracelets seem too much. It’s just what I needed!

If you also fancy heavy weight jewelry and accessories, do check out the gTie web store or visit the physical boutique in Helsinki, Finland on Pursimiehenkatu 11. gTie delivers internationally and the designer Jenni also does custom made pieces, in case you’re looking for something more specific.
