LadyBohemia — Bohemian Charm & Vintage Chic RSS

A little something, for next summer... Dark  &  light beige laces...  precious little pearls... a beautiful hand made yuttah flower... braids of lace... I'll wear it with my white embroidered cotton dress... and can already feel the sun on my face. ~**~

The magically talented Oona Kassila will design a dress for me... A custom order piece, to make me feel like a faery princess at the London Fashion Week next month. Just look at the loveliness she came up with! So off we went, hunting for the right fabrics, laces, pearls and silver chains... Such perfect ladytime ♥. Oona herself is a Bona Fide Faery Princess. Such a beautiful person, inside and out. Somehow, her loveliness is present in all her creations. When wearing her handmade treasures, I feel her softness, gentleness and sweetness all around. For the gloves, we'll use this French velvet in old rosa... Purrrrrrfect. Laces, laces and some more laces... UhHuh how difficult it was to rule some of these beauties out... x Now Oona has flown back to her ateljé in Barcelona... And I'm impatiently waiting for her to come back - she'll fly over for a fitting of my Bohemian Princess Rose Cradle dress. And I will show you the pictures... You can find Oona's dresses and Mo Puccino's Moonalia jewellery at Moonalia's etsy shop. They are handmade in heaven. ~*♥*~

Whenever I have to challenge myself and face a really tough situation, I arm myself with faerydust. By wearing jewellery given by somebody special, a piece of clothing made for my by a friend, or a little gift given with love. For my radio interview I really needed some force beyond my own as I the topics I was asked to address were as painful as they were intimate to me. I carefully chose my most beautiful pieces, handmade wristwarmers by Oona Elena Kassila. A picture of these wristwarmers was the very first blog post I ever made so the symbolism was there... We've come a long way together ♥. Oona is one beautiful inspiration in my life as well as a true bohemian lady herself. Her magic is so kind yet so powerful. I feel her energy in all the pieces she has designed for me, such as this unique lace tiara necklace, handcrafted of antique laces, freshwater pearls and a rose quartz. Finally, my rings. By Oona's man Mo Puccino.

The stone is a rare opal, delicately decorated by a handcrafted silver frame, reflecting all the shades of the universe. The color of the opal is different in all lights, always magical. To me, carrying this ring is carrying my own personal rainbow with me. I surrounded myself by so much loving energy that no wonder.  At some point, I even forgot to be nervous. ~*♥*~

...who delivered me a dreamy cotton gauze piece of a shawl like this, by Moonalia Design: I'll be wearing my new soft light creamy dreamy shawl like in the photo on the right, due to some snowy windy circumstances... But I'll be dreaming of wearing it like in the photo in the middle :). Soon. ish. ~*♥*~

Tomorrow is going to be so exciting... I've been invited to a press trip to Estonia, to the fashion show of one of my favorite designers in the whole wide world; Kristina Viirpalu. Last spring Kristina's show was something out of this world, a great gatsbyesque fanfare of unique creations. So my whole body is positively tingling with anticipation... The only thing ready for tomorrow morning  - which is more than in my usual repertoire - is that this silk embroidered Parisian dream will share this adventure with me. In fact, every time we travel with this bag, it loses a few pearls and gets just a little bit more worn out and ragged around the edges.. And I love it more and more for every sign of our experiences shared. I'm glad it isn't shiny and new. Nor am I. But what the heck. We've both got  character ♥. ~*♥*~
