It is the night before Midwinter festival's Eve, and I'm starting to absorb more of the special holiday feeling that usually wants to play hide-and-seek with me just before Yule. But I caught it, after all I'm cradled by the icy white world and frosty trees into the warmth of my childhood home. Candles are flickering, treats have been prepared and all the siblings have finally gathered here, so what's there not to like. Although I accidentally left my seitan ingredients home and failed many other things too (like leaving the gifts to the last drop!), but the most important thing is that I am here.
For some reason I wore white for these pictures, perhaps it's a sad last minute attempt to appear nice and innocent rather than naughty, or maybe it's just a little tulle-filled salute for one of my favourite tunes for this time of the year:

ReplyDeletek.
Sadly it's not possible for me to post every single day due to the problem of time, so this was only a very special month. :) And thanks so much!
DeleteYou are just breath taking! I look forward to more of your posts in 2013, you take such wonderful photos and are so gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays :)
Oh thank you sweetie! Happy Holidays to you too :)
DeleteYou look lovely in white! Your mother seems to have a beautiful closet. Is she as fond of clothing and vintage as you are?
ReplyDeleteThank you! She does enjoy clothing and shoes but her style differs from mine greatly, most of her wardrobe consists of blazing red and orange pieces and lots of different colours. But we do share a passion for Minna Parikka shoes. ;)
DeleteYou. Look. Amazing. Hyvää joulua :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! <3 Ja hyvää joulua sinnekin!
Deletedont leave us!want more posts!!!
ReplyDelete))))))
I'm not going to leave you darlings, I'm just not going to post daily anymore. ;)
DeleteStunning photos. I love your outfit. :) Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteTulle skirts are a wonderful thing. I always admire skirts for little ballerina girls when I'm passing by such stores. I even own a pink one! It looked purple in the picture and the colour was named "berry", so I ordered it. When it arrived I opened a box with a pink skirt :D I decided to keep it anyway and it became one of my favourites :)
ReplyDeleteThat really happens sometimes, the clothes that we aren't sure of become one of the favourites. :) There's something special indeed about tulle skirts!
DeleteMerry Christmas eve! You look just as lovely in white as you do in black, in fact you'd look great in any colour! I wish my Mums closet was filled with clothes like that! When I read Sugar Plum Fairy it reminded me of a series of books I used to read when I was really little called Victoria Plum! I wish I could get my hands on those books again, they were so adorable! I hope you have a great Christmas with all your loved ones! ~♥~
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! I love my mom's style, it's so unique and very different than mine. :) You should definitely check out eBay or other auction sites or antiquarian bookshops for those books, I'm sure you'll find them one day. I've found some of the books I read in my childhood in most peculiar places!
DeleteHappy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your daily posts, and what a beautiful song :)
Thank you, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed these!
DeleteMerry christmas! It was an wonderful time reading your daily posts :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much :)
DeleteYou look beautiful in white!
ReplyDeleteMay I ask what camera you use? I'm looking for a new one, since my current one isn't the best... either that or my crappy photo skills ;)
Thanks! Mine isn't even nearly the best either, but it's not always about how good your camera is, it's more a matter of how you learn to use it. :) My camera is a second hand Canon 550D, it's gradually starting to decay but I'm going to use it as long as it takes some photos.
DeleteYou look great in white. ;)
ReplyDeleteI will miss your daily calendar, I really liked it!
Thank you, and I'm happy to heart you enjoyed it! :)
DeleteIhanin kappale ikinä. Pähkinänsärkijä on muutenkin suosikkibalettini, se taisi tulla tässä pari päivää sitten telkkaristakin :)
ReplyDeleteAa, ei tullut kyllä katsottua. Mutta kappale on aivan ihana. :)
DeleteSulla on kyllä niin kauniit hiukset! Olisipa jo omatkin yhtä pitkät. Ja septum sopii todella hyvin :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderfull outfit, you look amazing!
ReplyDeleteKaunis asu! Olet kuin lumikuningatar :)
