Finland Boots

Love at first sight. Found these winter boots at UFF second hand shop. If the boots are called "Finland" they must be warm.

Our cat Seppo wants to be in every picture!

Cat in my Head?

Love my new hat. It is warm and gives shelter from winter breeze.

Ps. it ain't real fur. I prefer living animals.

Hat from Seppälä, around 10€

Flowers

Some have probably already noticed that I like flowery patterns. Granny look, some might say. Anyway, I am going to spend this All Saints' day wearing my colorful flowers. 

I see red

Most of my favorite clothes are from flee markets or online auctions. Like this Benetton's knitted dress.

I know, winter is coming. But you can always dress up at home and pretend it's summer!

Dress up and have a summery home picnic!

Lemon Grass and Earrings

It has been one relaxing weekend.

We found a perfect little Thai Restaurant called "Lemon Grass" just around the corner where we live. Cosy atmosphere and food much more than tasty. What else can you ask for Sunday?

PS. I even wore earrings today which I usually don't do!

Cleaning Out My Closets

How to have fun when ill at home? Well, clean out your closets! 

I feel proud of myself after putting in order every piece of clothing I have. Too bad it didn't put my flu in order. 


PS. Go and see Petit à Petit's Fashion Flee Market here.

Trench Coat

Some say that trench coats are passé. I say I still love mine. What else would fit with all the autumn colors than a beige trench? I know. I have to get rid of this obsession of color beige.

Neglected

This week has been more or less very busy. Now it is time to take it easy at home reading old magazines and cuddling the neglected boyfriend of mine. 

Ps. I noticed that in 2007 mags there were a lot of beige and brown colored outfits. Let me press the "like" button!

Cafe Latte for me, please

Just love love love the colors of this fall! Chocolate, caramel, toffee spiced up with lingonberry red. Yummy, let me say!

Here is a hint of what I would wear to work. 

Belt - Mango

Scarf - Gina Tricot

Gloves - Dents

Shirt&Trousers -Mango

Bracelet - Kalevala Koru

Pumps - Tiger of Sweden

Bag - Lumi 

ReUse Republic

I ran into this ecological, innovative and fun project called ReUse Republic today when shopping at Kamppi Mall in Helsinki. The idea is to create something new from the remainder clothes of several brands e.g. Benetton, Armani Jeans and Tommy Hilfiger. 

The cloth racks were quite empty when I got there but was still able to find those lovely rose shorts by Maija Tuohino. They used to be a knit.

Summer Trends

I was one of the lucky winners of a Summer Trends competition organised by Ellit-Plaza (a Finnish web portal of one of the leading magazine publishers Otavamedia) and L'Oréal. 

Found my pictures in their web site. Go and have a look at here. (Only in Finnish.)

All Women Love Boots

Well, at least I do. 

Found my perfect boots at Mango. 

This girl is ready for rodeo.
