Kirsi, Tiian and me. Those gals are very dear to my heart!

I was wearing a Trashion dress by Paula Malleus / remake ekodesign. I totally fell in love with this dress! To me the silhouette is very vintage/1930's. And guess what, it's made of Tuska Festival (the biggest heavy metal festival in finland) t-shirts! 

Necklace - Miia Magia Design

Purse - RARA

Hat - Fiona Timantti Millinery

Teacher Style day 23, Polkadots and The Bunnies

Everything second hand. 

After the days work i went to Thomas Sabo flagship store opening party with my dear friend Kirsi. She is a talented designer, sassy it-girl with a great sense of humour and a heart of gold.

..and after that we went to celebrate the the Helsinki Design Week and the new window art at Minna Parikka Universum. These Bunny boots are a must have!

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! :)

Walk down the memory lane..My first Pin-Up contest and DJ gig!

Hehehe..sweet memories. The first (and last) Pin-Up contest i ever entered. It was held by a vintage site "My Vintage Hut" (anyone remember that site? It was one of my favourites). The year was 2004 or 2005. I was so young and so pale! :) I was second runner up.
