HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMOKO !!!!!

07.28.10 helsinki

1-3: when we decided to go to Helsinki, I had imagined it to be Alvar Aalto land, the home of nordic modernism ! the center of the city was punctuated by these ideas but were weighed down by the large soviet red guard feeling buildings. It was nonetheless an interesting mix of art deco, modernism, classical architecture...

07.29.10 helsinki

1-2: meet Iris, owner and muse of Iris. Shop, very well coiffed and dressed. We stumbled into her shop during a lazy walk through town and came out with a bag full of vintage clutches, sacs, belts...she was a killer sales lady. Her shop was a serious treasure trove of forgotten accessories. She was not shy to pose for a photo, and reassured us that she is used to the camera, as she was once a star singer in Finland. What a character !

07.28.10 helsinki

1: during our little road trip, we stopped by a village called Fiskars, the hometown of the orange scissors ! There was a museum where you could see their original products and how the brand evolved. Their cutlery and special scissors for taylors were very beautiful! Wish they still made them like they used to...

2-3: the nature right outside of Helsinki was so pretty. Lots of green and of course lakes everywhere. Do you see the hidden deer in the bush ?

07.28.10 helsinki

1-4: we rented a car and drove about 93 kilmeters west of Helsinki to a village called Ekenas. As the village was once occupied by Sweden, the architecture was very different - colorful wooden homes and buildings that were much lighter and free feeling compared to the massive structures we saw in Helsinki.

07.27.10 helsinki

1-3: The KIASMA, museum of contemporary art was fantastic. The shows were well curated and very stimulating!

07.26.10 helsinki

1: the sidewalks of Helsinki have clear indications of bicycle lane, pedestrian lane. We need this kind of sensibility in France!

2: as the city borders the ocean, there were seagulls (instead of crows) everywhere we went.

07.25.10 helsinki

1-3: Helsinki, Finland. We spent many hours with a cup of coffee in hand and steamy soft cinnamon rolls in our mouths, comfortably seated in all of the lovely scandinavian chairs.
