Sunglasses - gift from a friend

Pencil skirt - 90's

Leather tassel neclace - Ansa Vintage's jewellery line

 It was love at first sight! I love the colour and the oh so delicate chain.

 I also got this wonderful, huge transparent ring from their collection. There is black lace inside! Modern jewellery with vinatge feel. I really like it! I usually don't like big plastic rings, but this one has a nice goth twist to it.

 ...and it's also little bit like a huge diamond. I've noticed that i really like diamond jewellery that are not really real diamonds, just shaped like them.

SO! Here is the giveaway! One of you is getting this apple green leather tassel neclace! Just follow my blog or tumblr and leave a comment. Or send me email fionatimantti(at)gmail.com. The winner will be announced later :)

My sweet photographer of the day. You can call her Dooris.

I like to explore the neighbourhood after work

Rosa pimpinellifolia a.k.a. Rosa spinosissima

One of my favourite places in Helsinki

One of the best places to have a cup of tea or a glass of cold cider.

One of my favourite places in the summertime in Helsinki, former lightship Relandersgrund, now a fine little cafe/bar. It's open whenever the weather is nice. 

And it happens to be just around the corner from where i live, how nice!

In good company. That's Baawo.

    

 I'm having a cup of "laivapojan lempi" (translates "shipmates love" or something like that...)

 Shoes are important.

 Can't really complain about the view.

 The sea.

 Reflections.

Me

I found these photos while looking for something totally different from my laptop. This winter has been so long and cold, or atleast it feels like it when you are so eagelry waiting for summer. These photos were taken in Tampere where we had our Fintage, vintage society meeting.

The other thing i'm dreaming about (besides New York, i'm always dreaming about New York) is Berlin. I saw a documentary about the 1930's cabaret in Berlin called "The real Cabaret" (England 2009) where actor Alan Cumming travels to find out the facts about the story behind the oscar winning movie.
In Finland you can see the documentary here.
Oh, and if you haven't seen my Blogistania episode, you can see it here (17 days left to watch it).
You can only watch it is Finland, sorry :/
