p.s. There is only one felt beret left on spring sale on Etsy! (I'm not making any more of them until next fall, if i can  find more of those lovely vintage fur felt cones..)

Here's the cutest little sailor Paula wearing her FT felt pom pom beret!

So much snow...

There is SO MUCH snow out there right now so i thought it would be time to post few photos from last summer. We took a trip to Nummi. That's where my family comes from (i was born here in Helsinki and so was my mom, but my grandmother [i miss her so] was born there).

This is a wonderful place called Kasvihuoneilmiö (greenhouse effect). It's a second hand store and a cafe. And it's filled with plants and stuff!

Jaws

Sakari and lunch

Parrots and mailboxes

I LOVE books!

Crazy hat

One of my sailor outfits

Nummi

We visited my grandmothers grave. The small semetary is a very peaceful and beautiful place.

I brought her some flowers from a nearby meadow.

On our way home we came across a funfair.

p.s. I also found the photos from my trip to New York last year. I gotta go back there soon, i miss that place and those people so much!

Sailor outfits and Art Deco tattoos

I've started to crave a new tattoo... Maybe it's bacause now when it's warm people wear less clothing = more skin, more visible tattoos. I've been thinking about something art deco or art nouveau style pics. Not sure yet.

Sailor style clothing is something that i feel like wearing in summertime. And sailors and tattoos go very well together, right?

This was my version of the sailor look a week ago.
And ofcourse Cecil wanted to be in the picture...

I had a very special guest from Tampere at my atelier that day, Riikka! She is one of my favourite vintage vixens! We both had a sailor look that day, what a coincidence!

Sailor outfit Victorian style!

This vintage sailor outfit is very cute! And i like her hair too..

Here's few shopping suggestions for you who is looking for that perfect repro sailor outfit.

Very cute top and trousers from Get Go Retro. They also have plus sizes.

Sailor paly suit from Stop Staring! (i love that hat! It's not included though..) Stop Staring is widely sold all over the world, so you can probably find a retailer in your area.

I just adore this ReVamp Vintage sailor outfit! Actually pretty much everything they do is amazing.

How about these 'Hello, Sailor' shoes by Miss L-Fire then? Gorgeous, aren't they?


Art Deco tattoo inspiration:

This is just a very nice picture of actress Dorothy Sebastian i found while searching for art deco images :)

And for your entertainment, a clip from the film 'There's no Business like Show Business' (1954) Tattoo'd!
