H&M launches Conscious Collection. The name might not be the most sexy and fun, but the collection includes clothes made from “environmentally adapted and greener materials” like organic cotton, Tencel and recycled polyester. Some of the clothes are even good-looking, here are my favourites! (Personally I liked the last spring’s flower things more. Surprisingly. Anything with flowers and I go mad.)

Btw, what has happened to me? Suddenly I’m writing in English. Is that good or bad??

R/H lookbook for A/W 11/12. I like how they keep on working with Mickey Mouse references – those black “ears” are kind of becoming their trademark! I like the prints and the colours, too. But I think I must hate the shoes.

Great knitwear! By Jenni Alava. Photos: Kanerva Mantila.

I never really liked Hasbeens clogs. But this might change my mind. Swedish Hasbeens for H&M. Available from April 20.
