On the Street. Ballerina Tutu Jacket, Keskuskatu, Helsinki.

Effective combination, shiny boots, jacket with double frill, narrow silhouette and bright red hair. Urban city-ballerina we might say.

On Pinterest I have gathered boards that interest me in the point of view graphic designer, illustrator, street style lover, circus fan, Helsinki citizen, etc. There is also a nice board of Fashion Illustration. Check my Pinerest-account if you need some inspiration. At least these pins work in such way to me.

On the Street. Herringbone Tweed Coat, Kamppi, Helsinki.

You know, I'm weak in herringbone tweed. So when I saw this young dandy in Kamppi, it was self-evident that I am drawing his look later. I'd love to wear this coat myself!

On the Street. Running to Catch the Bus, Center, Helsinki.

 

One of the free everyday fun is to watch people running to catch the bus on time. I'm never too busy to stop and take a look at how the running thriller is ending. And I'm feeling like a winner when they make it! 

On the Street. Sunday Walk, Lauttasaari, Helsinki.

Best thing you can do on Sundays is to go for a walk. Time to be outdoors and sink into own thoughts. Walking is the best method in solving problems or getting new ideas. I wonder what this dark character was pondering. At least he made a nice graphic silhouette against the green bushes.

On the Street, Sky Blue Trench Coat, Lauttasaari, Helsinki.

The sky is blue and so was this trench coat and I was like Oooh, what a beautiful blue you have in your coat! Combined with darker blue flared jeans and a bit of brown I was totally sold. Blue in it's shades is my all time favorite, you know.

Her about 5-year son asked me: "Who are you?" I replied to him: "A random passer-by who admires your mother's beautiful coat."

On the Street. Red Coat and Shoe Laces, Hämeentie, Helsinki.

Autumn in Finland has come so far that wool coat is a good companion. If you add one bright color with black in your outfit you really can't go wrong. Like here red combined with black. Even the shoe soles and laces are in the game.

On the Street. Striped Long Cardigan, Hakaniemi, Helsinki.

 

 We are living the Season when forests and Helsinki parks are glowing with autumn tints. The very same tints I saw in this lady's knitted long cardigan. The cardigan was made of garter stitch from toe to shoulders. I wonder what Sonia Rykiel would say about this style sample.

For Fun. New pages. Labels and Link Love.

 

 Hi Everybody! May I present some new pages on Flash For Zonzon. You can find a new Labels-page on the navigation bar on top of the page. In Labels I'm opening a little the tags or labels used in this blog. Labels are a handy way to get you the specific type of posts you are interested in.

Link Love is the new page where I'm sharing some sources of inspiration with you.  Here you can find some inspiring things divided in categories. At least I like them. Maybe you can find some new favorite things from these links too.

Finnhits. Costo X Johanna Gullichsen.

 

 Oh how I love this collaboration of Costo with Johanna Gullichsen. They have made a special collection of Costo Kombai hats with high quality 100% cotton fabrics designed by Johanna Gullichsen. There isn't two similar hats in the selection, each one of the hats are unique. And one of them is mine now! Could'n resist the temptation while autumn is coming closer and closer. Well, I'm ready now to change the season.

I have praised already earlier Costo – hats with pompoms. Now I'd like to open your mind to see Johanna Gullichsen's designs.

Johanna Gullichsen Textile Craft & Design offers an extensive range of woven textiles for modern living. Her patterns are filled with striped geometry and rhythm. She makes designs that are modern and classic at the same time. Natural materials fill the circle of comfort and Scandinavian style.  

Just look at her bags and purses. They are just my taste. Let's see when my footsteps lead to the Helsinki store in Fredrikinkatu…
Now when I have the hat…  It could be like that… Ooh, it's pure poetry.
Another flagship store is located in Paris, rue du Cherche-Midi. If you can't make you way to these two, there is a Johanna Gullichsen webshop too.
