The spirit of our little getaway; Eat. Prey. Love. And play a little. ~*~ ♥ Kisses to you all, my dear LadyBohemia readers, from the heart of the mountains of Bagnols ♥. ~*♥*~

My two sons and I are off for an adventure that is a holiday in the South of France. Without any plans, schedules or engagements. We intend to just... be. In the sun.

This may be the first time in history that my bags are packed before the taxi is waiting outside... And this time, even all our passports are still valid... Strange and very new for me. But in a nice way. Soooo... I'm peacefully preparing myself, letting go of all the stress and rush even before heading for the airport. Mmmmm... Sweet.

These French antique market finds are my all-time favorites. "][/caption] Wish us Bon voyage dear friends! I'll keep you posted on all the adventure that comes our way... ~*♥*~

Chisu. [caption id="attachment_8716" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Photos: Chisu"][/caption] We had tickets to Chisu's concert, in the front row at Savoy theatre, last Sunday. Since then I've been trying to find the words to describe the experience. Well, I'm still speechless but will try to babble away anyways. As so many times before, the lady sang straight to my soul. I've banned her old hit songs Mun koti ei oo täällä (This is not home anymore) or Sama nainen (Woman unchanged) from myself as I can't afford the unending flow of tears that follows. Well, in concert she nailed me with one of them. UhHuhhhh is all I can say. But her spirit, wit and humour made me laugh as much from the heart as flew those tears. Take the song Kriisit (Crisis). You'll have to listen to it, I promise you'll find yourself there... Or Miehistä viis, elegantly translated as Screw men. Perhaps that will ring a bell in you as well...

Then song Muut (We're not like the Others) - ah it's a song of my first love. A love story that I instantly relived right there in the front row of Savoy, like a little water fountain. So. Muut is on the forbidden list now as well. I'm cutting down on tears, at least a little bit... I could go on with stories worth an hour and a half of songs... But  recommend that you go and see (feel) it for yourselves. For it would be a sin to miss the charisma and raw talent of this rare songbird. And me... I'll live on the high of these emotion for a long, long time. Thank you Chisu. You are magic. ~*♥*~

As summer and little dress season is approaching, I've gathered some ideas on how to add some ooompf to your favorite lacy pieces. Things such as a cool turquoise pendant. Softest leather bag. Signature vintage ring. Those skinny jeans. Like so (from the photo archives of Unjung Jun): Hmmm... what a combo of leather and torn fishnet -look stockings: You can accessorize your lacy dress with a handsome beau, and a coy smile... Or maybe you'd prefer a cool hat and a good book instead: And of course denim works, always. Or quite simply, with just a little bit of skin: MmmmmmMmm... I think it's time to dig out my little summer dresses from their winter hideaways. ~*♥*~
