Everlong

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas! I spent mine rather quietly at my childhood home eating a lot of traditional Finnish Christmas food and exchanging a few gifts. I will introduce one of them sometime soon when the weather gets a bit more tolerable.

This outfit is from Sunday night, it’s sort of a tradition here to go out on the Boxing Day and shake off all the Christmas stress – dancing from 9pm to 4am definitely did that for me. Hence the relaxed outfit and comfortable shoes; you need those when you’re not sure how many drinks are going to be poured on you and how much glass there is on the dance floor. This time around I could avoid it all and had an amazing night to remember. Now my aching body remembers it too.

Enjoy the last week of 2010!

Oh my life, is changing everyday, every possible way

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!

At Darklands

I still haven’t fully recovered from the sleep deprivation caused by all the crazy partying I did in Berlin, but I’m slowly getting united with what was left behind on Thursday. Introducing here my new hooded Boris Bidjan Saberi cardigan which I, after taking a long view, acquired from my absolute favorite Berlin boutique, Darklands, on the day of our arrival. This pretty little number is made of bamboo and is so soft and comfortable that I spent the rest of my four day mini vacation literally living and almost sleeping in it. The only time I gave it a little rest was on Saturday, when the sun was beaming from a blue sky, making it too hot to even wear a shirt for that matter. So yes, our destiny is sealed, we are pretty much inseparable now and will stick together through thick and thin, until unraveling threads (I hope never) do us apart.

Photographic

Yesterday, fresh right after work, my fellow blogger colleague Niina and I drove to Helsinki for the photographer, Daniela Talvitie’s Fashion Photo Helsinki exhibition opening party. Since neither of us managed to take any proper pictures from the party itself, we decided to externalize our outfits in the yard of the a beautiful church that we spotted outside. Somehow the ethereal surroundings of the church under the cotton candy sky seemed to fit the mood of our rather black empowered outfits seamlessly, making me wonder that who even needs color when you can have a backdrop like this one?

If you’re a fan of fashion photography and in Helsinki during the following weeks, do check out Daniela’s exhibition at the Design Museum.
