Gatsby Glamour

I can't wait to see Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic The Great Gatsby. I love the Twenties silhouettes and classy accesories and so here is a bit of Daisy Buchanan inspiration to a grey Wednesday afternoon.

The last day of winter

The catwalks may be brimming with florals and flirty dresses but unfortunately it is still a bit too cold to step outside without my trusted winter gear. This green Joules Moredale jacket and Massimo Dutti handbag have been key items in my winter wardrobe.

Suited and booted!

Adding vintage pieces to winter work wear adds a bit of soul to the corporate uniform. These two belts are flea market finds, boots from a boutique in Paris and the absolutely gorgeous patent leather briefcase is a gift from my grandmother.

The Old Boys

Here are two of my all time favourite leather bags. They were my grandmother's but she was kind enough to give them to me. God bless grandmothers :) The quality of leather is superb and they just seem to be getting better and better. The dark brown bag has the most beautiful scallop design whereas the camel coloured is made of gorgeous soft leather. Unfortunately my poor old shoes are about to give up, no amount of leather cream will save them it seems. Maybe one more journey..

WITH LOVE...

Rannekoru on lahja rakkaalta, settiin kuuluu myös kaulakoru. Tuubihuivi puolestaan on lahja siskolta, hän on sen itse neulonut. Arvostan suuresti kädentaitoja ja pitäisi varmaan itsenikin palautella mieleen noita neulomisen saloja.

Huivi on helmineulosta, joka on toteutettu Novitan harmaalla Jambo-langalla.

Vintage treasures

 

 

Tässä muutamia vakio asusteita: Laukku ja koru peritty. Huivi on löytö suomalaiselta kirppikseltä. Lontoossa on aivan mahtavia vintage-kauppoja, mutta usein Suomesta tekee parhaimmat löydöt.

Food for the soul

The thing I love about London is that around every corner there's is art to inspire you. 

                                      And let's not forget the treats, the treats are very nice too.

From the market to the plate

From beautiful fresh ingredients you can create truly delicious food. Lets celebrate the local farmers and preserve traditional and regional cuisine. Hurrah to slow food!

Life is a picnic!

Täydellinen hetki, täydellinen seura ja mitä ihanin paikka Pohjois-Ranskassa. Tästä on hyvä aloittaa tämä tarina. Synnyinmaani ompi Suomi, mutta kotimaa on jo useamman vuoden ajan ollut Englanti ja täältä käsin blogia kirjoittelen, lähinnä ystävieni iloksi ja jos muitakin kiinnostaa niin tervetuloa seuraan!

The perfect moment shared in a field in North of France - charming company and amazing food. This is a good place to start the journey. I hail from Scandinavia but now live in beautiful England and look forward to all new things life has to offer.
