// Oh, dear… …COS web store open

Posted on | September 29, 2011 | 2 Comments

I think there has been a hint or promise in the air for a while… …but now it is true. COS opened a web store.

That scuba dress to wear with matte tights and my mint green Doc Martens, heavy multicolored pullover, oversized wool-cashmere coat and that ingenious blazer with folded sleeves would pretty much make my winter wardrobe perfect. Well, I could add some of their accessories to that…

// Too gorgeous

Tapestry coat from Rodarte for Opening Ceremony. Oh those powdery shades and carpet details, what a treasurable piece!

For economical reasons I probably dig out a second hand tapestry coat I already have — and test if it finally fits over my bust, haha!

Thanks for Susie Bubble, I’m again introduced to another great webshop — Koshka — specializing Japanese brands. I can’t really say anything intelligent about Japanese fashion in general (you know, like I knew), but deep in my heart I know that a trip to Japan would probably be a sweet torture to me. Feast for my sense of aesthetic, painful for my credit — and I would probably end up cursing my large Scandinavian frame while stuffing myself with some random delicacies of Japanese cuisine…

Sweater, dress and dotted coat by Tsumori Chisato, lovely textured reversible jackets by M. & Kyoko. All from Koshka. BTW, they have sale going on there…

Awesome pullover and leggings from Australian label TV — and I really dig the way they are styled with their perforated florals and other borderline romantic stuff. Via lovely Amélie Boutique.

// More leg adornment

Posted on | April 17, 2010 | No Comments

Thanks for Prefecta for another fabulous legwear link… …Sock Theory has partially overlapping selection with Sock Dreams — but not 100%. I’m loving the dip dyed plaid pair — and the knee socks with bit more understated ruching effect. The giant fishnets are also pretty awesome accessory — not sure if one can call those socks at all! But think about the effect — layered over another pair if you wish.

Sorry for this tiny pic — my only complaint about Sock Dreams is that they have ridiculously small product images. Which is a shame, because the images there are generally good.

But complaints aside… …my wardrobe really is not complete without these 100 inch super ruched socks. What a powerful accessory.

// Merry Christmas

Posted on | December 24, 2009 | 3 Comments

Not sure if it is the respect for the little of tradition we still foster — or just the thing that scents, sounds and visuals of this festive time of year help me to connect to the little girl I have been, and I really, really want to nurture that connection — anyway, I enjoy Christmas time (although I’m totally disconnected from religion). The family get-togethers and some quiet time with a good book, box of chocolate and some wine, that’s what is in it for me.

Tchaikovsky ballets, both Swan Lake and Nutcracker, my favorite, were the staples in Finnish national Christmas TV program (oh, gosh, in my childhood this country was all different). So they have always spiced my holidays. Or maybe they were the essence of it. Maybe they evoked some ballerina dreams, maybe I was just hooked to all that visual candy and Tchaikovsky’s magical music. Should a girl as young as her go pointe? Don’t know, I don’t know a thing about ballet. But I know that her dream become true on that very day. No toy catalogs involved.

Need some last minute gift ideas? Go to Kiva and microfinance some local businesses in developing countries. You can let the gift receiver to decide by giving a gift certificate. The few advertising dollars form this and my old knitting blogs went to Ghana — I kind of see it as your Christmas present to that local food business — hope it made you happy, that’s my present to you!

So I want to wish you all happy holidays, go and have what is in there for you — and take care of yourself and your loved ones.
