A print party

In between seasons, I'm in between deciding what I want to wear. The climate change of flying to Thailand might have something to do with it, but it's nice to get a little summer preview. I'm kinda having a hard time layering on anything else than a bikini at the moment but this holiday will, as they all always tend to, be over before you know it. I'm not exactly located anywhere near Africa, but I fell for a local lady selling these African printed skirts. Hard not to get impressed when most I've seen so far is fake bags and angry birds printed everything, everywhere.

I wore it with a shirt I bought from Heathrow airports Zara (!) and a beautiful bag by Laura Vela. No need for me lecture you on print mixing, because leopard print go with everything.

Golden pastels

 vintage kimono

dolce & gabbana sunnies

zara shoes

Ah here we go, a little bit of anticipated beach-posing.. how could I not? I revived this beautiful belt on a cold winter day and frankly felt a bit confused how to make it work with all the clothing that had to be worn to survive. But I did the right decision bringing it with me to Thailand, most of my skirts look weirdly naked with out it now. Truly one of those things you don't know how much you really need until it's there, sitting securely on your waist.

2011 unposted

pictures by me, stefanie, tasha and janne

In order to do the impossible of summing up a year so full of great memories, I gathered this little album of some unposted 2011 holiday photos!

may the pictures say it better, but to keep it nice and short..

Chilled life in Finland, new puppies and mushroom finds. Travelling around Morocco and getting a glimpse of the local life. Too much fun in Carcassonne with my lovely Tash. More Finland and food, sister Steffi and field posing. Hanging out with Aurora and Teemu, Helsinki vs. country life. Road tripping around Europe with neon nails. Cousins hillbilly themed hen do and in the spirit of my sisters tattoo, can't wait to do it all again.

Thank you for making 2011 the best year of my life so far, love you all.
