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.

I am so excited, and so incredibly grateful.
Not only do I have I been invited to the London Fashion Week this February, but my friend and favorite designer Oona Elena Kassila has designed The Most Beautiful Dress in the World for me to wear during that hulabaloo.
This was the original sketch she showed me... As you might imagine, I fell in love with it the moment I first lay eyes on it.
If ever - no, WHEN - I get a little desk, a corner or a room to be called my LadyBohemia Ateljé, I shall frame this picture on my wall ♥. Such artistry, such beauty, such warmth of friendship it shines on me.
Oona and I started our little fashion week project with a quest for the most beautiful silks, laces and rosies here in Helsinki, to be continued by Oona in the jewellery, fabrics and beads markets of Barcelona... She is working from her Ateljé in Spain, so she sends me photos and ideas of the work in progress at night time.
This is what I got yesterday.
A beautiful silver chain with charmingly faceted silver beads that shimmer with light... A delicate moonstone... I'll be walking on air when carrying this dress. No, I'll be dancing on roses.

And this is where we're at, two weeks before the event.
It's so... poetically beautiful that I'm lost for words.
And next weekend my beautiful friend will fly over for a fitting... To make everything just perfect.
Oh, I feel just like a princess.
