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. ~*♥*~

Shall it be mine? In the form of earrings, that is. On Monday I shall court these True Romance earrings at an atelier of my favorite jewellery artist Lea "Fine van Brooklyn" in Ullanlinna, and maybe, just maybe, they will come home with me... Light as a feather but 8cm long stunners, these delicate earrings feature Swarovski crystals, smoky quartz and amazonite, wrapped with silver wire with gold-fill findings and hooks. I so admire Lea's ability to create such uniquely beautiful pieces, with that signature bohemian twist. These darlings speak summer to me. ~*♥*~

My latest little budgetary indiscretion is fluffy, breezy & light as air. SoooOoooo summery.  Ultra light, long and slightly transparent cotton gauze in rosa with a hint of cream. Stretchy hips of creamy lace. Skirt can be worn "puffed up" due to inwoven strings, or "straight".  Best of all, it can also be worn as a dress due to the stretchyness of the lace. Mmmmmmm... My dear friends Summer and Sun, I'm ready for you... Come to greet us... Anytime. ~*♥*~

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. ~*♥*~
