The streets of Helsinki are crowded. It feels like the city never sleeps. At night it stops for a while to rest. Christmas lights in shop windows and on trees cheer up the people. High heels knock on the pavement. Wind tickles my face as I walk. Dusk is getting closer and the Christmas lights stand out more and more.
It’s the time of the year when it’s more than right to stay at home, light some candles and enjoy. Dark arrives before the day has even started properly. Twinkling stars stare from the black night sky and the moon is like a sun that’s shining cold light.
People often ask me where I get my clothes from. The answer is simple. I visit flea markets regularly, browse different places online and when I see an interesting little shop on the street I unhesitatingly step in. Even though I prefer flea markets and little shops, I occasionally go to apartment stores that have a big selection of brands. I like to combine vintage items with quality brand clothing. I wear what makes me feel good. It’s all about feelings. I wear clothes that feel right for me right here and right now. That’s a guaranteed tip for a successful attire.
Coat – H&M
Shoes – Vintage
Helsingin kadut ovat täynnä ihmisiä. Tuntuu siltä kuin kaupunki ei nukkuisi koskaan. Aamuöisin se hiljentyy hetkeksi lepuuttamaan silmiään. Jouluvalot näyteikkunoissa ja puiden oksilla ilostuttavat kulkijoita. Korkokengät kopisevat kivetyksellä. Tuuli kutittelee kasvojani kulkiessani eteenpäin. Ilta alkaa hämärtyä ja jouluvalot erottuvat aina vain selvemmin.
Nyt on se aika vuodesta, jolloin kotona kynttilöiden kanssa tunnelmointi on enemmän kuin sallittua. Ilta hämärtyy ennen kuin päivä ehtii edes kunnolla alkaa. Tuikkivat tähdet tuijottavat mustalta yötaivaalta ja kuu on kuin kylmää valoa loistava aurinko.
Ihmiset kyselevät usein mistä hankin vaatteeni. Vastaus on yksinkertainen. Kierrän aktiivisesti kirpputoreja, selaan erilaisia myyntipalstoja netissä ja nähdessäni jonkin kiinnostavan pikkupuodin kadunvarressa, astun ennakkoluulottomasti sisään. Vaikka kirpputorit ja pienet myymälät ovatkin mieleeni, käyn myös toisinaan suuremmissa tavarataloissa, jotka myyvät merkkivaatteita laidasta laitaan. Yhdistän mielelläni vintagevaatteita laadukkaisiin merkkivaatteisiin. Pukeudun vaatteisiin, jotka saavat oloni hyväksi. Pukeutumiseni on tunnepohjaista. Laitan päälleni vaatteet, jotka tuntuvat juuri sillä hetkellä ja siinä olotilassa sopivilta. Varma vinkki onnistuneeseen pukeutumiseen!
Takki – H&M
Kengät – Vintage
