Monki, Helsinki, 1-years-old

Monki´s birthday party last weekend. A night that included champagne, strawberry margaritas, girl talk... and ended with Breakfast at Tiffany's. Soap bubble machine = very good invention.

I took this jacket...

 

...and turned it into this waistcoat. Simply because I couldn't stand having a piece of clothing in my wardrobe that I do not wear. The story behind it is complicated. First I was supposed to make it a huge backpack for festival clothes. Then I decided to alter it to a shorter and fitter version of the jacket it was. Then after cutting it to pieces I decided to make it a jacket but somewhere on the way I lost the sleeves. Not literally, after all, but I thought jackets are boring. I bet it already got more use as a waistcoat than as the jacket it was. I wear it over my denim jacket on rainy days.

Just because something is pink doesn´t mean it tastes good.

 

There was a press event at Miltton Showroom a few weeks ago and I visited with a friend. I'm not exactly press but I used to intern at Miltton, so you could say I've been there quite a few times. Press events are fun! Lots of new things and good food. I forgot to charge my camera, that's why the lack of proper photos. Always ready? No... I must say Miltton got much more interesting now when they have more young Finnish designers. Like Linda Sipilä, who just recently won Finnish Project Runway. The pr-people tried to make everyone put mix-matching color lenses on but I unfortunately couldn´t join that fun because I had my own contact lenses on. Without them I am blind.

I´m a dressmaker.

Some jewelry I made last summer or fall I think. I´m finishing my portfolio at school now. I´m quite happy that I graduate in a few weeks. Now I´m working on a jacket I bought last summer and I´m alternating it.

My laptop is broken and the mini laptop I´m using instead works only 1 hour at a time. I only use internet at school or on my phone at the moment. I keep reblogging photos on my tumblr with my phone, until I get a better laptop for blogging.

I can't find exactly what I'm looking for. I have to restart my laptop every hour. It can be frustrating.

World of color.

RESEARCH.

 

P.S. Am I the only one who doesn't like new blogger? I like it that now you can post big photos easier but at least in the old one you could make the photos the same size. And no battles with trying to put all the photos in the middle (I've had problems with that... one photo in the middle and the next one on right side).
