Pierced Heart Sweater, totally obsessed!

I need to make myself one of these! I think i might go for the one Ginger is wearing. I've been wanting to make a similar swearter for so long...

Nina Leen 1947

Loretta Young

Ginger Rogers in Carefree, costume by Edward Stevenson

Teacher style day 45, wearing wool inspired by late 20's/early 30's

 This outfit was inspired by late 20's/early 30's wollen cardigans and the fact tht the weather is getting colder! Gardican is hand made by Leena from Vaasa. Shoes are from the 40's, my favourite oair for everyday wear. Everything else is second hand.

Teacher Style 33, Green 1940's blouse

Just bought this gorgeous 1940's blouse online. It's perfect!

Teacher Style day 20, the drass that's too short

Hat - 60's vintage

Cardigan - second hand

Dress - 1940's dress (that's actually 'too short' for me because i hardly ever wear short skirts/dresses, but since the waistline is on the right place and the measurements are just right, i wear it in the summertime)

Teacher Style day 15

Hat - vintage

Woolen jumper - wonderful 1940's vintage jumper! Found dumpster diving. The original blue collar was made of silk and it was in very bad shape so i had to make a new one. I found cotton fabric that was just the same colour as the original. 

Skirt - second hand

Latexmania BBQ party

I'm not working as a teacher today, so no Teacher Style photo untill tomorrow. Instead i will tell you about the party we had yesterday. We had a 10 years anniversary BBQ party with some friends. 10 years ago i was asked to model some Latex by a marvelous lady, Kirsi Nisonen. I said yes gladly. It was a start of a beautiful friendship and my loveaffair with latex clothing.

The location was delightful! It's called Teurastamo (slaughterhouse because of it's former purpose but these days it's a place for fun, friends, food and sharing, not death).

Me and Kirsi.

I'm wearing an amazing 80's does 40's/50's vintage dress from Ansa (where else! :)

(Notice how our outfits have the same theme in both pictures)

Hair experiments (40's to 80's!)

I've been really into 80's fashion, music and hairstyles lately.. We had a roof top photo shot with one of my favourite photographers Jirina Alanko (oh, she has a new website, check it out: www.jirinaalanko.com ) and i was wearing a fabulous 80's overall and Miia Magia Design mirror necklace.

One of my favourite styles, voluminous curls!

Scarfs are a very good idea when having a lazy hair day!

In the Bladerunner mood, inspired by Rachels and Carmens hairdos.

My friend Marja came up with an idea to dress up and go for a walk in the park on sundays. So we did. You wanna join us? If you are in helsinki, you are most welcome to join us tomorrow at 2pm. Last time i was wearing my favourite 40's suit, this time i think i'll go for a 30's look. We are having some champagne afterwards and some of us are going to get their picture taken by Atelieri O.Haapala.
