I do love a good pedicure. This is an old photo, so I no longer remember which nail polish that was. I think I must be wearing fake bake here since the colour on the toes looks a bit artificial...but looks pretty good anyway. I published this photo in Flickr and several people added it as a fave...foot fetish anyone? ;-)
Random ideas and images. Fashion, decorating, style...whatever I find beautiful.

Hello Kitty
Shoes
Chinese top 2
This top is the same as the one in the previous post, but in some sort of man-made fabric (no idea which kind since the labels are all in Chinese!). I've often worn this with a pair of leather pants and it almost looks like it was leather too.
Chinese top
I bought several tops like this on a trip to Beijing for next to nothing. This one is cotton and I usually wear it with jeans.
Moomin dishes
At the breakfast table. Pink Moomin dishes by Arabia. Glassware by Iittala.

Louis Vuitton dress
I love this LV qi pao style dress. Qi pao is the traditional Chinese dress and, having lived in China, I've had several made. Seems that they are in fashion now.

Autumn colours
This painting is perfectly appropriate for the season - let's enjoy those beautiful autumn colours while they last.
Ladies
Some of these gals are even kind of trendy - check out the tall one on the left and her red platforms.
Foots
More notebook doodles. The text reminds me of something that Manolo Blahnik has said, that he "loves feets".
Pink jeans
Doodles from a notebook I had as a teenager. I had a pair of hot pink corduroy Gloria Vanderbilt jeans - they were so gorgeous! Yes, it was in the 80's.....
Cat
I've been drawing cats my whole life; they're my fave subject matter. I was probably in my early teens when I drew this one.
Teddy
More of my childhood artwork. I am sure that I have copied at least some of this from some book, but still, I think it's kind of cute.

As mentioned before, I am a huge leather fan. There are many great pieces this season. Dress by Pied a Terre. The catalogue I took this from did not mention whose shoes those are - love 'em.

I do love books as decorative elements. The ones in this photo have great colours. This is nicked from the Stockmann's catalogue (a Finnish department store).

Leather vest
I simply adore this Ralph Lauren vest...and I love the whole look. I wish I could have hair like that.
