10/05/2015 - Mother’s day lunch

Yesterday was Mother's Day which we also celebrated by having lunch with my family at NJK, located at a little island just at the front of Helsinki. As the day was sunny and quite warm (despite the wind) decided to go for quite light shades and lightweight materials. And this time as we also had an "outside" photographer (my brother), I got my best accessory to the picture as well€¦ Can't do this often as she totally leaves me in her shadow€¦   Wearing: Sport coat: Pal Zileri Shirt: Isaia (mtm) Trousers: Berwich Tie & PS: Viola Milano Shoes: Meermin Pics by Malin Sandberg

We celebrated the first of May yesterday quite casually by having brunch with a few friends of ours.

Thursday inspiration - casully celebrating the 1st of May

A couple of days I wrote shortly about the 2015 look book by P.Johnson Tailors. As tomorrow is a national holiday here in Finland and many people are going to celebrate that - came up with an outfit that could suit that celebration - inspired by the looks of P.Johnson Tailors. A sand-colored cotton (/linen) suit is a summer staple and combined with driving mocs and merino wool polo shirt it's a perfect look for casual spring and summer celebration. As the weather might still however be a little bit unstable one might want to prepare by putting on a field jacket that will bring a little protection against possible wind and rain. Field jacket: Herno Suit: Boglioli Shirt &...

25/2015 - Smart & Casual weekend wear

The last days of April here in Helsinki are always a little bit ambivalent. On one hand you can already start wearing loafers but on the other hand the weather is still favorable for those who want to keep wearing their winter jackets and roll neck sweaters. As I personally favor both (loafers without socks and roll necks), on Saturday I decided to combine them into one outfit. Always there is no need for puffy or striking pocket square. Actually with this outfit one could have left the square totally out, even though white tv-fold is always a safe bet.
