Teacher Style day 41, the Sweater Inspiration Continues

Visiting Yle, photographed by one of my students, wearing second hand, loving that over sized leopard sweater.

Teacher Day 26, Leopard Selfie

I'm not very good with selfies, but here goes. I was so tired that day after 14 hours of work, that this was all i could manage.

Everything second hand. I adore that 90's leopard shirt.

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.

And my first DJ gig in Turku in 2007 with my mentor Miroslove Satan. Those were the days! 

Portrait of Fiona by the most talented Petra Innanen

I was really honoured when my friend Petra asked me to model for her. She is a very talented artist and one of the nicest people i've ever known. I really like this painting because of the colours, shapes, lights and shadows..and it's a picture of my atelier, my favourite place in the whole world.

It's huge by the way. Go and see for yourself-> Bulevardin Taidesalonki, Helsinki.

Leopard craze!

I might get tired of some patterns or change my opinion about colors, but it seems that i'll never get tired of leopard pattern.
This coat i bought from Fida. It's 60's vintage, it costed 30 e. I usually never pay that much for a coat..

This one is from Fida Too, 3 e.

Shiny black plastic and furry faux furrrr..So cute! Vintage, 2 e from flea market.

This picture is from Hopeapeili magazine, January issue 1953. Jacket by Maggie Rouff, hat by Marie Christian.

These shoes are quite nice. I like the shape of the heel. Unfortunately these are not mine :/ You can buy yours from Electrique Boutique.

This is what i've been doin' lately. Leopard muffs and collars. If you wanna buy one of these, hurry! I have only few of these left! Send me e-mail (fionatimantti(at)gmail.com) if you are interested.



This is a new design of mine. There's also gonna be a leopard version :)
