Dom andra

I’m back from a style bloggers cruise where we got to spend a few hours shopping in the beautiful but cold Stockholm. The highlights of my trip were hanging out with my stylish colleagues Essi, Nelliina, Laura and Nina, meeting up with the talented Richard from Obscur, visiting the backroom at JUS where we got to see the fall/winter 2010/11 collection of Diana Orving, and shopping at Mrs. H (thanks Oskar and Richard for taking us to my new heaven!) where I scored a perfect pair of Ann Demeulemeester wedge booties on discount (more about those later).

The trip definitely took it’s toll as on Sunday I slept like 12 hours and still feel tired even though it’s almost Tuesday now. Tired as I am, it was all well worth it!

Celebrate the nun

I feel like I’m stuck into the same pattern all the time, for instance I’ve been mainly wearing black all month and have created a huge crush for hooded garments. I blame it on the cold weather though: at times like this you just want to hide from the cold and camouflage yourself into the darkness. Hence the indoor photography, it defintely takes balls to go out there to pose in -17 Celcius (I respect all you bloggers out there who are brave enough to do it!). Luckily I got good camera gear to take decent indoor shots and a photograpther who is not complaining, as long as we are staying within the warmth of our apartment.

So, this outfit is from last night’s party, we had some friends over for Singstar and later danced the night away at club Hang the Dj. I wore a knitted net BBS vest I acquired from Darklands in Berlin (yep it’s mens), and a silk Ann Demeuelemeeser top and boots bought from the very same city (God, how I miss Berlin already, might have to go back there in the spring!). I topped the outfit with my pleather pants and an old Kalevala Koru necklace I got  (or rather took) from my mother’s jewelery box when I was like ten.  Somehow it’s so current again…

Now I’m off to catch some Zs, my body doesn’t seem handle partying as well as it used to… Enjoy your Sunday, folks!

Shape shifter

I was probably the only blogger who had not stressed so much about the outfit selection for the Indiedays launch party, as I had mine planned already two weeks ago when I brought back this layered dress from Berlin. I was looking for something that would go well with the Rick Owens wedges I had bought just a few days before my trip, and this dress completely hit the spot: It’s layered, versatile, made of jersey and organza silk, and as “me” as a me can get. I love how you can make it a hoodie, a cape or even give it a sporty look by just gathering all the layers on the front. This won’t be the last time you’ll see this new friend of mine…

Indiedays launch party

On Friday, 19 bloggers and one fashionable crowd gathered to the gallery Kalhama & Piippo to celebrate the start of the new blog media, Indiedays. Annie (<3) was spinning, the crowd was mingling, the champagne was bubbling, and afterwards we were treated with fine wining and dining, in good company of course. The late hours of the night were spent at the local rock joint, dancing into good tunes and going crazy on the dancefloor with my fellow bloggers. Oh what a night!
