//// Under the influence
Posted on | February 12, 2010 | 5 Comments
Remember the peek of this crochet jacket from a while ago? I found it from local charity shop and despite of it’s few flaws I was so fascinated byt it that I had to have it. The worst thing of it was that it was covered with all sorts of fabric tags, extra buttons and random sequins. Ok, most of those were easy to detach, but some of the fabric tags were glued on, not sewn. I got most of them out but the damn butterfly had different sort of glue… …and there it is. And I actually did not mind the few random sequins after all…
The other problem is the lining. Both the color and the material are awful — plus it has been sewn on really carelessly, it curls to the top from the front side when the coat is worn open. Don’t like the snap-on plastick buttons either.
But I could not resist to try it on with the Black Milk lace leggings for 100% lace look. Scary! What I’m actually admitting here is that I was so fascinated about the Prada lace collection few seasons ago that I’m probably still influenced — and I got my memory refreshed on my Berlin trip: Departement Store Outlet had one awesome piece of Prada heavy quipure lace peplums left…
Silk turtleneck tunic is from H&M, mesh dress from American Apparel, Rützou wedges, narrow silk-sequin scarf on my hair from Day Birger & Mikkelsen.

i remember that Prada collection and i loved it. very soon after seeing it i noticed a cotton black lace dress in Zara which i loved to death but did not buy (thought it was expensive at 99eur). i still can not forget it and i have not seen cotton lace garments after that at all…:(
your coat is fantastic, i like combination of different lace patterns and colours. lace is so innocent and sexy at the same time. did you pick this coat from Hakaniemi UFF?

The shape of the coat is so nice! ‘Bout the butterfly… did you try acetone? Bleach? White leather circle applications? Gee, this one’s a puzzle… Still, so nice… White crochet ruffle down the front, you know, the kind that was in the past used as a decoration for furniture? It’s gonna look like Marni mutant with the ruffle, ha, ha.

I love the lace on lace thingy, you rule!

Lisa, I’m not all sure, either from UFF of Fida on the other side of the Hämeentie!
dust, thanks — I tried every solvent I could figure out having… …but forgot the acetone. A nail polish freak has always some acetone available! Will try it as soon as possible.
haha… …don’t feel like ruling anything, I’ve run between action spots like an errand boy lately… …thus the lengthy reaction time to comments!

I have to ask you about your gorgeous wedges! How do they feel on you feet? Are they easy to walk with? Is the leather qood quality? I´m dreaming of those, but in grey color.
