A taste of that old-Hollywood glamour for a Monday evening...

~*♥*~

Let me share some of the upcoming Odd Molly favorites with you... These yummy pieces were introduced at the Odd Molly 10 years show, at the Stockholm Fashion Week:

 Love this black crochet dress, and the cool Indian necklace. Those I would like to wear when hopping to a plane and heading somewhere far... For some reason this dress makes me dream of Buenos Aires.

Then again, I am a little particular.

See those little lilac beads on the hemline and wrists? Delicious. 

Look at the inside lining of the coat... Luxurious chocolate-brown silk, with delicate lace lining. It's the finishing touches that make Odd Molly special. The dresses have names (hand-embroidered on the inside, hidden up the sleeve...), they are beautiful inside out, or carry a slogan ("up-to-me-ism", "right now, something is good"...) to give that extra UMPH to your steps. It's like a little secret between you and your Odd Molly dress... My own Odd Molly jacket is unique as it is a sample piece - even the final product was never sold in Finland. On the inside, words "Everyday Sugar"are written. Somehow, that speaks to me. ~*♥*~

Today was a real girly girl's day. I got to take my five-year old goddaughter to a fashion show where she modeled for Marimekko. Helmi the Cat. In between shows one could explore one's artistic side backstage. This was the cutest backstage I've ever seen... We even managed to steal a little moment of peace and girl talk in between shows at Strindberg... We played a guessing game where you have to guess what the other person is thinking, based on three tips. So much fun! A quintessential member of our little entourage was Mrs. Bunny. Also known as Best Friend. Between me and Mrs. Bunny Helmi sure had a solid fan base to back her up on her first ever day of work. This was another good day. ~*♥*~

Today is a good day. First thing in the morning I read from Hesari that a dear friend of mine had got the most interesting job, after a long period of hardship and self-doubt. She so merits this. That saved the day. No. The year. I was already almost in tears with joy, having called and congratulated my friend, as  my son and I stepped out into the rather fresh and windy blizzard that is Helsinki today. My son stormed right into a mountain of fluffy powdery snow yelling "Snow adventure!".  That indomitable spirit of a child was the last drop and the tears had to run down as I laughed at his joy.  AND this time I was actually able to join him and make a few snow angels myself... You see, I own no practical clothes. I even lost my only pair of gloves last week. But my dear Hanski, who is the most practical and caring person imaginable, had just moved to the Netherlands for the winter and borrowed me a wardrobe full of warm and cuddly wind- weather- and waterproof stuff. As usual, her timing was spot on. And on our way to school my son and I were able to go on a lovely snow adventure. Near of far, friendship truly warms you. Inside out. On that note, I think I'll make myself a hot cup of chocolate...♥ ~*♥*~

... after all, even the world's greatest living scientist Stephen Hawking thinks that the greatest mystery of the universe is... woman. ~*♥*~
