My favorite designer, Kristina Viirpalu, before the gala. Rock cool already.
Even cooler and rocker, when ready...
Kristina was wondering if maybe her dress would be too much for us Finns.
Carried with such dancer's elegance - and figure! - no way, say I.
Sissi... Flaming curls for the hair, naturals for the face & nails.
After a some (red) thread & a needle, everybody was practically ready...

Off we were, to the suites of Kämp Hotel. Time for a glass of champagne, some mood music and dance...

At Kämp were also Pipsa Lagus (hiding behind the camera), Sirpa Kajo (Sirpa's dress from France, necklace Miu Miu, borrowed from daughter Heli) and of course Sirkka Siiskonen. The primus motor of our adventures.

Only one pair of these dreamy stockings by Kristina were ever made. But she promised to have another pair made especially for me ♥[/caption]

I wasn't invited to the gala, but I was invited to join the pre-gala excitement with my friends... Such lovely ladies; such a lovely time we had..Photo: Pipsa Lagus[/caption] *
Red hot Sissi.
Pipsa's deep blue dress, adorned by golden beads and a chiffon hemline had been especially made for her. Perfect, such perfect look and fit.
And off for the evening everybody!

Ahh! The black dress is sooo gorgeous. I’m in love. I checked out Kristina’s website and yes her designs are amazing… Looks like you all had a fabulous time :)
Yesssss the black dress is to drool over… Kristina’s so talented, and such a genuinely sweet person.
And imagine, I’m gonna get the same kind of stockings as she had… Me happy :)
WoW! Love your blog!
Oh thank you ♥♥♥!
Ah the tights are super cool, in the first photo that I saw them I thought she had tattoos on her legs :) Edgy and princess at the same time. Love it.
