Teacher Style ..at last we're back (days 42-44) traveling and teaching

Pardon me for being absent for a while...lots of things going on and off work. But here's few more days of my Teacher Style photo project.

 We had halloween theme at school and here's my outfit! Vintage 50's dress and catears and a tail i made myself. (Wonderful 90's film camera vibes in this photo...)

 Tired but extremely happy, me and my students organized a fashion show and it was a success! 

Wearing vintage and second hand.

I also visited Pietarsaari and the Centria University of Applied Sciences. I was invited there to teach the millinery basics to a very cool and motivated group of people. I was very happy to share my knowledge with those young talents.

A Wonderful surprise: magazines from 1900 to 1920's

The postman had a wondrful surprise for me the other day. A parcel full of old finnish and swedish magazines! They were sent to me by Ulla from Karikoski. She saw my Blogistania episode ant thought that i might be interested in these. She was right! What a treasure! Lots of patterns and inspirational images.

This is probably my favuorite picture of them all, 

ladies suits and hats in a Finnish magazine from 1914. 

Thank you Ulla! Kiitos Ulla! :)

DJ's of the #helbf14

 Two nights of dj'ing, two guest dj's, too looks.

The first night i had the pleasure to play with Dr.Hirschfeld from Berlin! This is the firts but hopefully not the last time we were dj'ing together. What a sharp dressed, lively guy! And since he is the doctor, i was dressed as a nurse. Wearing vintage ofcourse. The lovely vintage nurse hat is from Pepper Sparkles.

The second night i was companied by my frequent partner in rhythm, Atom Of Finland! We play so well together! I was wearing a headpiece by Fiona Timantti Millinery and a dress made for me at my old school, the school of theatre costumes in Espoo.

Schiaparelli Couture Spring/Summer 2014

Schiaparelli has been a huge inspiration to me through the years and i was exited to see the Couture Spring/Summer 2014 collection. I did not blow my mind completely, but here's my favourits:

Oh, yes. Hatters gonna hat and Haters gonna hate.
