What more could a self-confessed romantic, engaged in a love affair with all things beautiful ask for... You see, I was invited to an event where a rather legendary Finnish boutique Ajatar, specialized in luxury coats, celebrated her 60 years in business. With a superb performance by two dancers from the National Ballet, a very cool fashion show, a live concert.. Quite an exquisite evening. I'll let the pictures speak.

Personally, I'm green with envy.[/caption] * [caption id="attachment_10356" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Sirpa Kajo, Pipsa Lagus, Ilkka Ruotsalainen, Hannele Herttua. Guests who bring spirit and spunk to any party they attend :). Photo: Ajatar.[/caption] * [caption id="attachment_10358" align="aligncenter" width="386"] The ever gorgeous Niina Kurkinen again.

With a warm welcoming word for everyone.[/caption] * [caption id="attachment_10361" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Ok, this is then the Princess of the evening. The always enchanting Heli Kajo.[/caption] Then the Grande Finale. Performed by dancers Kare Länsivuori and Minna Tervamäki. With such intensity;  of separation, despair, caress. After their dance I simply had to leave the crowd, to protect that feeling they brought to life somewhere deep my heart. And it carried me all the way home, as I wandered through the rainy stormy streets of Helsinki. Thank you for this evening ♥. Thank you Sari, thank you Sissi, thank you all you wonderful artists. And me then... As usual, I walked home with both feet firmly off the ground. ~*♥*~

This moodboard was done for somebody special... By the world's sweetest faery princess Oona Elena. Thanks to her, once again I see my world and goals a little bit more clearly. Thank you Oona, for you inner understanding and sensibility, and for your unique artistic talent. Thank you FlowerGirl, as my boys call you <3 . ~*♥*~

a friend who knows how to make me seriously swoon just posted this photo for me... it would be criminal not to share. Photo was originally pinned in Pintrest by Getting hitched. Any brides-to-be out there? A little inspiration for your Monday... Personally, I could go on about the old school touch on the buttons, not to mention the class and elegance of the delicately crafted unique lace... Okay I'll save my male readers from further gushing... But I love this picture. Thank you dearest Lea (Fine van Brooklin), my trusted  jewellery designer, for nailing my sentiments to the point, once again. It is thanks to LadyBohemia, that I have had the opportunity to meet such magical, talented, beautiful human beings, some of whom - such as Lea -I am now proud to call my friends. An eternal PS: I am not subsidised or paid by any designer I introduce or enthuse over. It all comes straight from the heart I like to keep my baby LadyBohemia free as a bird. That way, a little bit of that oh so much hungered freedom rubs off on me too ♥. ~*♥*~

Deserves a new addition, as I stumbled upon this beauty at an Ooh la la etsy newsletter... Oh la la indeed. A divine vintage nightgown by Diane von Furstenberg. * MmmmmmMmm... long flowing nightgown in creamy ivory, top adorned with delicate lace. It looks so smooth and cool, I can almost feel it...  Etsy's Lingerie Addict proposes it for sleepovers or for a bridal shower gift. As I know that there are some gentlemen out there who follow my site... Just a little tip for you :) . This would be a rather purrrrfect surprise gift for that special someone in your lives... Downright  unforgettable. If inspired, you can find this little wonder at http://www.etsy.com/listing/101550831/vintage-light-blue-and-white-lace-sheer * Sweet Dreams Are Made of These. ~*♥*~

Yesterday I was invited to an event where ballerinas soared sky high, fashion models strutted their stuff - and gorgeous clothes - and songbird Heli Kajo belted her heart out. I actually had the opportunity to meet Heli in person... Wow. After all those months of summer in France, when her songs filled my car where ever I went, that was A MOMENT for me. Me, I was nervous, she even nicer, funnier, sweeter, cooler and so much more elegant than I could have  imagined. And after, she sang straight to my heart. Tomorrow, I'll tell you about the ballerinas who danced their way to the core of my being... But as of today, the little heart is full. ~*♥*~
