Made In Helsinki 1700-2012

Hello, lords and ladies! It's been quiet here for the last few weeks, my apologies - I've been quite busy with my new school, so I don't have that much time to wear loli.

Yesterday I met with Mimi and Tiia. We went to the Hakasalmi Villa to see the exhibition called "Made in Helsinki 1700-2012", which is a World Design Capital event. It was about design objects, both old and modern. It was really nice, I recommend you go and see it - and P.S., the entry is free of charge. ;)

Here's a picture of the Hakasalmi Villa. As you can see, it's very pretty.

There was a whole show room filled with different kind of laces, belts, buttons etc. They were so beautiful. *-*

There were also some old clothes. The white dress in the front was my favorite piece!

 

There was also a shelf dedicated to my favorite designer, Minna Parikka. 

 

 

And they had also built a little runway there! Besides these there were also lots of antique furniture, dishes and so on, but I didn't take any pictures of those. But really, this was a very enjoyable show, so once again, I truly recommend that you go and experience it yourself!

 

Here is an outfit shot. By the way, a little while ago I went to a hairdresser, and told her to "cut quite a lot". What I meant was 10 cm, what she cut was 20 cm... so now my hair feels so strangely short! It's weird... I just hope it will grow back soon. It is quite tragical. From this picture you can really see how much shorter my hair is. x_x

Detail shot of the print.

Outfit details:
Dress - Victorian Maiden
Underdress - Monki
Shoes - Wonders

And in the end, have a creepy mirror shot of our group! From left to right Tiia, me, and Mimi. After the museum visit we also had some tea at Tiia's. All in all, it was a really good day. :)

P.S. Look at the picture above - do you see anything new? Because that's my new camera right there! It's so, so, SO much better than my old crappy one! I'm very excited about it! Now if I only learned how to use it... x)
