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.

Inspiration, Gaga for Vogue

Lady Gaga by Mario Testino for American Vogue, March 2011.

Wonderful hair, fabulous outfits, marvelous set. Just amazing.

Weird sensations (and how to get rid of them)

In the last few days i've had the most bizarre feelings and thoughts. First of all, i had a terrible ugre to watch "Friends" and pretend it's the 1990's again (when i was a kid and i didn't have a care in the world). And second, i felt envious for someone who is rich and famous. That's funny, since i usually don't dream about being rich nor famous. Yes, sure, i would love to afford all the vintage treasures i see. Although if i were famous, i might have to give up dumpster diving, and we can't have that, no sir.

Do you ever have those bizarre thoughts that you don't recognise as your own?

So, i went trough some of my photo archives and posted just some of the photos that reminded me of the good things in my life that i love and photos that made me smile.

I get to travel to new places from time to time.

This picture was taken in Berlin by My friend Juha Arvid Helminen.

I get to share my passion for vintage with great friends, here with Rhia and Riikka.

And by the way, i'm holding a cigarette in that picture, but i don't smoke anymore (it's only been five weeks..). I had a dream about smoking last night though.

Taking a break at a photo shoot with my friend Miia Magia.

Having a horror dinner with my burlesque family.

Having a dinner at home with Sakari.

Cecil.

Iron Sky costume department crew.

To celebrate the birthday of the company who made the elevators to the Stockmann department store, these girls and boys were dressed up in the old elevator operator uniforms.

A blurry picture of my atelier, or "Marias place" as i sometimes call it.

Good times with Sara.

Posing at Helsinki Vintage with my good friend Lassi. Yes, this is one of the failed pictures, but it's good to have a laugh at your own expense sometimes.

Bix.

Me and Sonia hard at work, Iron Sky costume department. She no longer lives in Finland and i miss her!

Bix listenign to tango.

I know what you did last summer

Now when it's cold outside, it's fun to look at summer photos! Here's few memories i wanna share with you.

I attended few weddings. Here's wedding outfit #1

Spending time with friends...

And ofcourse, garden parties.

I also dressed up as a teacher

Wedding #2

I wrestled a bit..

..went for a picnic by the sea..

..cruised with Minna Parikka and friends. Here's me and Lumimarja.

One of my favourite things in summertime is going out with my boys.

I also spent lots of time at my atelier. One of my favourite places in the whole world. I really feel at home there. And i sometimes can almost feel the presence of Maria, the lady who opened that little hat shop back in 1942.
