      Hanneli Mustaparta - Fashion Week - Paris

      En voyant ces photos d'Hanneli la magnifique, je me souviens de la Fashion Week et 
      de son ambiance si particulière. Je me souviens qu'elle déteste qu'on la prenne en 
      photo sans qu'on lui demande si elle est d'accord au préalable. Je me souviens 
      qu'elle a un tatouage au poignet droit que je n'arrive pas à déchiffrer et que
      j'aimerais bien savoir ce qu'il y est écrit ... Simple curiosité.

Unwanted toys hiding in the book shelf

Over time I have accumulated so many felt accessories and clothing items.
In the following week I would like to style outfits inspired and revolving around the felt pieces.
It seems the most popular periods for felt cut outs would be the 1920s 1930s 1940s and 1950s

SELF-GIFTING IS THE BIGGEST SHOPPING TREND THIS CHRISTMAS

Posted by Bethan Holt, Junior Fashion Editor at Large

Self-gifting is a fancy marketeers phrase for "spending the money you intended to spend on others on yourself". It's sort of like the post-recession version of maxing out your credit card where instead of simply spending more money you re-allocate the funds you'd initially meant to go towards your Grandad's new slippers/ your Mum's pyjamas on, oops, on a new pair of shoes. In the US, self-gifting is expected to account for 20% of festive season spending, rising to 35-40% on Black Friday and the following weekend.

Perhaps calling it self-gifting is one of those delusory tactics which makes us feel a bit better about what is essentially splashing out on one of the many, many tempting things shops cram themselves with at this time of year and which we are supposed to buy for our nearest and dearest, rather than ourselves. Part of the 'problem' is that you are so easy to buy for. This morning, Kate Brindley, Liberty's Head of Marketing and Communications, tweeted about the forthcoming Nicholas Kirkwood sample sale:

Nicholas Kirkwood sample sale coming soon! Perfect for self gifting! @NKirkwoodLondon @StarworksGroup pic.twitter.com/5mz1UXtRgA

Of course, the Nicholas Kirkwood sale is perfect for self-gifting because, unless you have a sister or a very generous best friend, nobody else in your gift-giving line-up is likely to make the effort to elbow into a sample sale and have the knack to pick out the gems. Self-gifting is all about the gifts only you can really give yourself. In a way self-gifted presents might be the most useful but do they take away the charm of the practical, comfy slippers you unwrap from your Auntie on Christmas morning?

Harvey Nichols are pinning all their Christmas hopes on the notion of self-gifting with their very funny "I spent it on myself" ad campaign. In fact, they see it as such a retail moment that they have produced a range of super cheap gifts like gravel for £1.61 or paperclips for 99p to give a tiny section of their store a bit of a Poundland vibe. You give these miserly gifts to your loved ones on Christmas morning as you stroke your new Givenchy bag or twirl in your Dolce and Gabbana party dress. The logical conclusion of the trend would be stuffing the whole "giving" concept and us all just gathering on the 25th December to show off the big purchases we've treated ourselves too in the last few weeks. Bit sad, no?

Top: Chico's [obsessed!!] // Pants: J. Crew Factory // Boots: Tory Burch // Purse: Tory Burch // Necklace: c/o oNecklace // Bracelets: ILY Couture, c/o Bip and Bop // Sunnies: Karen Walker inspired via Amazon

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all enjoy the time spent with loved ones and reflect on all of the reasons you have to be thankful. I have so many this year, and they include my wonderful and supportive husband, my amazing family and friends, and of course, YOU. I truly could not do this without all of you, and I feel so blessed to have such kind and supportive readers! I hope you all have a day filled with happiness and love!

And of course, don't forget to check out my Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals!! :]

Happy Holidays!

Outfit post - Thankful

Good afternoon dear readers!
It's been a lovely and sunny, but cold day in my city. I had to
bring out the full gear, read as : woollen gloves, beanie, giant scarf and
warm socks :D
I've been having crazy busy times, but it's getting a bit more calmer now,
just perfectly in time for the holidays.
I've been also shopping for Christmas presents and I'm now finally done
and my next mission is to buy home decor and decorate my home ready for
the holidays. It definitely helps me to bear with the lack of daylight and cold
weather outside.

I can now officially confirm that next year I will have my third solo exhibition
in Helsinki and I already have an open offer to have my 1st solo exhibition in
New York in 2016 too. There're lots of plans and ideas for the next year that aren't
agreed on yet, so I won't talk about them, but I will as soon as they're official.
I'm very much looking forward to my next conceptual photo shoot in week and half.
I've been craving to shoot proper set of fine art photographs for 2 months now, so
you can imagine how excited I am :)

Have a great evening/ day everyone!

I'm wearing: Boots - Steve Madden, Jeans - Diesel, Shirt - Ralph Lauren,
Kimono - Winter Kate, Necklace - Deni design, Ring - HOH1960,
Bag - Tory Burch, Coat - Isabel Marant pour H&M
