//// Heja, Sverige!
Posted on | February 11, 2010 | 5 Comments
I try not to browse Internet all the time to find new temptations (the shopping restriction is still on!) — but I can’t help myself for visiting some of my favorite brands. I have to say that I’m seriously coveting this blue cat print from Acne — it looks a little bit like toned down version of relatively recent Lanvin colorful animal prints — and that is definitely not a con in my books.
But in the shoe department Whyred is clearly a winner for me this spring. In addition to that awesome green lucite heel (oh, I’m feeling dizzy!) they have an great black ankle boot with a clumpy wedge (in the middle on the lower pic), killer stiletto heel, zipper and metal details (which you really can’t see in that picture — but they are awesome). Dear shoe gods, what do I have to offer?

Oh do I have to say that I’m also coveting those amazing mirrored leggings!

I'm especially interested in young designers creations, non-established labels and indie fashion. So if you have something interesting to show, feel free to contact!
You can find Finnish design from both specific and some outfit posts - but both are tagged.
You might be also interested in DIY posts, How-to posts, DIY ideas - or my adventures in Etsy =).

I am hovering on and off the add-to-basket button for that ocean-coloured little dress from Acne, I think it’s called Faith. So awesome, with a golden drawstring… but I don’t have the appropriate body proportions to pull that off I think.

^I think that it would be perfect on you! You have very light build in your upper body — a drawstring waist would look perfect. You mean this, I assume:

That’s the one! But the back (plus sides) are practically open and I absolutely need some heavy-duty bra action, which again I would not like to combine with the twisty-crossy thing this dress is doing.

What about that kind of bra where the body strap goes actually to the waist? Or a bustier meant to open back dresses?

Found only vintage examples of the bustier: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37867767

I know that these are carried in every decent underwear shop, even in Helsinki (cause I have tried on one…)
