Here’s Iisa, wonderful singer from Regina at Emma gala. We (me and Hertta Päivärinta = team Nopsa Clothes Library!) did the styling, Kaisa Riivari made the outfit. Looking great, I think! So happy and proud of Iisa.

Secret stones
One of my favourite places in Helsinki is The Mineral Cabinet at Helsinki University Museum. I just love those stones! So beautiful, lying silently in the drawers with their hundreds, or thousands, of years long history.
So luckily I bought these small paintings by Tuomo Karjalainen. Together they are a private mineral cabinet of mine.
Now all I need is a ring by Dara Ettinger.
New Nyt
24 days to Christmas
Laura Väinölä, Linda Bergroth and Kaarle Hurtig have made a three dimensional Xmas calendar! It’s a space with three walls, a fireplace and a floor. “But all along the December this rather bland, nice looking room surprises you and takes you with it on a magical little trip”, they say. You can buy the calendar at Houm.fi, for example. A pretty nice-looking store btw.

æ pre-collection
One more great-looking fashion brand coming from Helsinki! Æ (or is it æ, I still don’t know) is made by Alisa Närvänen and Elina Peltonen. Here are my favourites of their pre-collection. The pink dress is my absolute favourite and so is this ultra-beautiful pink top, look:
The collection has even some shoes! They are made by Pekka Lahti from Boot Factory.
