fw acne hot stuff

the black+white version of the atacomas already spotted on alexa chung -it's not a bad start for the fw09. i think the powder blue suede ones are a heart braker - so insanely cute, aren't they? a short long sleeved babydoll, tights and socks to match with these would blow my world right now. leather jacket is a classic and a must for the winter (or fall if in finland). and then the dress, the leggings, the earrings, the bun.

shoes + puppies

just couple days i realized i desperately need colorful shoes. you know something to brighten up my scaringly neutral / black wardrobe. for a lunch today i crapped a baguette with me and visited this outdoor flea market - i also found a cool dress that i think will be the coming weekends diy project. now i'm off to meet the coolest looking puppy inez.

bat for lashes by jason nocito

i've been lacking inspiration and well mainly spending as much time browsing magazines and exploring www as always with next to nothing giving any kind of vibes. then i decided dto go through ALL bookmarks and there was jason nocito. sweet. he's amazing with light.
and then something totally irrelevant: found a beautiful pair of purple shoes on lunch break.

nina chakrabati

i had never heard of ms chakrabati until i bumped into her works on trend land website. i know i'm easy to please with photography meets illustration when made well and i guess that's just it - (imo) many do it wrong. oh and the tribal masks, i'm easily pleased by those.. is it so that she just hit me weak spots?

boo freeze

almost weekend. i think i'm in need of an easy two days rather than partying. well we'll see after some free booze in wunder's celebratory webshop launch. i'm also planning on doing some dyeing tomorrow, will i get the color probably also depends on the free booze. there's also one dress i really want in wunder, after some free booze - we'll see what happens. it seems free booze will affect many things today and tomorrow.

beauty of spontaneity

my my my she gets under my skin. cuold you not love an artist young and with sense of style putting some nonsense practice-videos on YOUTUBE. if i should have a say - now there's a marketing guru.

let's play games

this vogue fr august 09 editorial made me smile big time. i love the way the editorial is built (see the magazine or check pics here). photography - inez van lamsweerde + vinoodh matadin.

hair

in one gallery opening in berlin i met this guy. his hair was screaming berlin so i had to take a picture. too bad i forgot to ask his name.. it must have been the g+t's

the golden owl

goldfrapp had the coolest art director for her album seventh tree and the agency behind the genious wasn't a big surprise - big active. being one of the top agencies in illustration they also represent art directors and have collaborated with a long list of artists like annie, keane, the white lies... i noticed that the two other goldfrapp albums are also by the same team but to me it's this last one that really goes together with her music and style. i mean how cool is that owl?? or what do you think?

color flower bomb

i got a flower from a stranger yesterday. i was writing emails at work as usual when suddenly i see somebody opening a door and handing me a flower. 'just wanted to come bring you this, please take good care of it -it has sprouts', and he was gone. i was left with a flower in my hand and a huge smile on my face. well that somebody definately made my day! if i was to give a flower to somebody, i think right now it would be peter pilotto, just to express my graditute for the beautiful dresses he makes. here's one.

shuffle

i've had a song playing on shuffle in my head - and whenever it doesn't piss you off it's a sign of a good catchy tune. simple. and she looks pretty damn cute as well.

holiday pics

greetings from barcelona, lloret de mar, cadaques and berlin. i'm back to helsinki, back to work and back on computer. here's some pics from the holidays. i forgot my camera battery recharger home and so took a little less pictures than normally but i refused to stress about it on holiday. it feels good to be back (on my wardrobe) with a suitcaseful of laundry x 2.

needed bad

summer sales make my head spin! imo la garconne is one of the best web boutiques, out of ones i'm familiar with. i also like the lay out and the way the site works, A+ for that. i've been looking for classic-ish cardigan for a long time and this one comes too close..
