Goodbye spring, welcome summer (part 2)

Anna-Maria20 Comments

To save you from a complete picture overload, I decided to save my outfit shots from Saturday’s party to a separate post. My ensemble consisted of pretty much of an Owens/Demeulemeester union,  more specifically of the Rick Owens maxi skirt that I bought awhile back but haven’t photographed until now,  a silk Ann Demeulemeester top from my Berlin trip, my precious Owens wedges and a zipper necklace from Ann Dem as well.  My hat is a fast purchase made on Saturday morning  and it’s from the H&M Fashion against AIDS collection. I had been eying on it ever since the campaign images hit my email box a few weeks ago, and in a way it kind of reminds me of this season which only, has a positive ending to the story.

Seven days a week, every minute of the day

It’s one of those serious wtf moments when you end up missing the last train home,  sleeping only four hours to take the first morning train back, going straight to work in last night’s outfit and make-up, and having your camera filled with blurry images like these. Oh yeah, and a huge letter E in your friend’s living room.

Nevertheless, the Weekday launch in Helsinki was a huge success and I had so much fun! We need more nights like these in our lives while we’re still young. Am I right or am I right?

Like Alice in the wonderland

The weather here in Finland has been amazing, so the past days have included park picnics, road trips, and visits to the local sights. One of the most interesting places in my hometown Tampere, is a palace called “Milavida” (or Näsinlinna as the locals call it) which has been closed from the public for 12 years due to renovation. This mysterious new baroque style building is so beautiful on the outside, so when the opportunity came to peek inside due to a temporary art exhibition, I knew we had to act fast. The promising shell of this perfect villa truly delivered: It was literally like stepping right in the middle of a fairy tale with it’s checkerboard floors, large windows and endless staircases. If I get filthy rich one day, I now know where I’m investing my money.

Naturally I couldn’t resist to shoot my outfit in these magical surroundings, and I’m quite sure I’ll return here in the following days. What comes to my outfit, the off-white Ann Demeulemeester hooded tunic is a new purchase and so comfy that so far I worn it three times over the weekend. Tonight when I go the Weekday store opening in Helsinki, it will be day number four.

If you are interested in visiting Milavida a.k.a. Näsinlinna, it’s open until 30.5.2010 from Tuesday to Sunday from 11-18 and located on the Näsinpuisto hill in Tampere.

Broken record

It’s hard to believe that today it was actually possible to go outside without a jacket or a sweater, and enjoy the first ice cream (Italian of course!) of the season in the great outdoors. I guess you can officially say that summer is coming.

The temperature rise has left me kind of clueless when it comes to dressing-up; adjusting your wardrobe to a sudden heat wave is a bit of burden for layer lover like me. Luckily, I had been far-sighted and purchased this black Nakkna dress from my Stockholm trip a few weeks ago, thinking it would be perfect little dress for those hot summer days. Little did I know that it would be needed much faster than anyone could imagine.

Today also stands significant for me because I got the well deserved break from wearing any type of drop-crotch pants and at the same time finally changed this broken record of mine. So, summer and dresses, I’m ready for you! Are you ready for me?
