Affordable Luxury

On Tuesday my long wait was over, as the time for the Affordable Luxury collection for Lindex launch party in Helsinki came, and I finally got to try on the clothes that had been on my mind ever since I came out of the press conference in March. Three of us Indiedays bloggers (including myself, Niina and Aurora) got to choose our favorites from the collection which  literally made me feel like a kid in a candy store.

Being a big fan of contrasts and often playing with the masculine and feminine, soft and hard – this collection seemed to have it all. The black  mesh tunic was of course an obvious choice for me, as were the harem shorts. I had also picked up a few other garments but will introduce those later.

If you want to see more of the collection and my first ever video interview with Ewa Larsson, the mastermind behind this amazing collection, do check the Lindex showroom for more info.

Guest stars: Aurora, Niina, Wikke & Jenni

My outfit: Affordable Luxury by Ewa Larsson (Lindex)
Rings: Kalevala Koru, custom made nail ring, gift

Max it up!

There is a reason why I hardly ever throw away anything from my past, take this velvet maxi dress for example. It has been residing in my parent’s attic since I wore it the last time, in my junior high school’s Independence Day ball in 1997. Mixed with my favorite blazer from last summer and the Ann Demeulemeester wedges, it’s actually very 2010. The only thing I had forgotten is that velvet is an extremely hot material but I guess for a sickie like me, it was the perfect choice to keep me warm throughout Thursday’s hectic schedule.

The maxi saga continues: a dreamy soft maxi skirt has just moved into my closet but more about that later…

And when the day come, it will all have been fun, we'll talk about it soon

Yesteday was an über busy day including a visit to Helsinki, and more specifically making a video interview with the aspiring fashion designer  Ewa Larsson (more about that later), crashing Star PR’s housewarming bash where the latest summer collections of Monki and Weekday were present, and finally attending the Marimekko autumn 2010 fashion show with a few of my blogger colleagues.

This whole week I’ve been fighting against an afwul spring flu to make yesterday happen, and of course today, regardless of the multiple vitamin overdozes, I’m a total bedpatient. Therefore I’ll let the pictures do the talking from now on and concentrate on getting better.

Enjoy your weekend!
