// Paris, Instagrammed

Posted on | December 19, 2011 | 2 Comments

In the beginning of December I did a partially work related trip to Paris. Yes, I did have my decent camera with me but it rained almost every day — so the few Instagram images are pretty much all documentation I have. Deemed from these it looks like it was my first trip there — all those tourist’y snapshots — but yes, Paris in the Christmas decorations, all those familiar landmarks dressed in sparkling lights, it was rather magical…

Pics: I did not catch the Eiffel Tower sparkling… …except from distance. The opulent Chanel window at Printemps. Dreamy Mary Katrantzou print at Le Bon Marché (my secret vice: visiting department stores for clothes I can’t really afford — less awkward than popping in upscale boutiques… …hmm), Champs-Élysées Christmas deco. Galeries Lafayette Christmas tree, scorched by the flashlights… Big Karl at LeWeb conference. Yes, I saw him IRL.

Biggest fashion related news was new Karl Lagerfeld line, debuting on January 25th, online only. The price point will be mid-range — sweet thing, will definitely check it up for sharply tailored jackets and crisp shirts…

// Dancing the night away

Posted on | November 12, 2010 | 6 Comments

I don’t know if other people than Finns arrange these pre-Christmas parties… …anyway — my calendar starts to be full. Personally I think that everyday dressing is so much more interesting than clothing for parties… …I’m doing it usually just by this old convenient formula: put on a dress and heels, funky tights optional. I don’t do sexy — just some sort of girly-quirky. Or dark and austere. But that’s about it.

Dress is old Karl Lagerfeld for H&M — and I love it to bits. It is 100% silk — it does not have actual lining but the opacity builds from the multiple crepe chiffon layers. The frocklike shape is bit playful — but it can be also worn with very classic accessories. Um… …mine are blindingly bright Topshop sale tights — and awesome Kron by Kron Kron shoes from Iceland — I believe they haven’t been here yet although they are not new. There is bit of everything in them — that somehow makes them quite easy to combine. Their broque-like details match them nicely to this wannabe-frock dress…

Truth about me and dancing — I don’t do it…

Oh perfect! Resin bangles, cuffs and bracelets by Carlos Sobral. White spiked one in collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld. Love how the circuit boards are used in the black ones.
