The Witches of Helsinki, Fiona Birthnight Party

Some of the coolest witches and warlocks of helsinki cathered to celebrate my birthnight at movie theatre Orion. I love that little  art deco theatre! We had shampagne and snacks and ofcourse there was a movie, non other than "The Witches of Eastwick"(1987)!

I'm wearing a trashion dress made of old curtains and table cloths by Outi Pyy and a cross necklace made on recycled spoons and forks by Beloved by Brunou. Headpiece by me, crosses on headpiece by Beloved.

Halloween inspiration 2011

I love halloween. I'm very inspired by old horror movies, vintage halloween pin-ups and vampire stories ( no, i still haven't seen Twilight..). This year i'm olso very inspired by 80s/90s horror movies (and horror comedy, oh my..). I have to watch these movies again.

The Witches of Eastwick (1987) Look at all that hair!

Death Becomes Her (1992)

The Addams Family (1991) Anjelica is marvelous.

There are lots of great halloween inspration movies, these are just the ones that i really want to watch this year.

I have two halloween partie i'm going to, one in Helsinki and one in Tampere. I'm probably gonna go dressed as a vampire. Again. (But this post proves that i'm not always dressed up as a vampire.)

If i have time, i will be making a huge lace headpiece that is a mixture of Lucy's headpiece in Dracula and the spanish mourning veil.

Amazing!
