now | here - Fennicize your Space

If you wander into Lumi's new flagship store downtown, you might as well be wandering in the Finnish countryside picking berries. A forest of Finnish ash trees hold up the bags, and the shelves are lined with Finnish elk. As you enter the shop, you rub against an elk skin curtain holding back the chill Finnish winds. Watch out for bears!

This is all the fault of the log-building artists and designers at Mestariwerstas and my WoodLabo, and the traditional elk and reindeer tanners Kokkolan Nahka. These guys will Finn you up.

clean | laundry - TYRA THERMAN

Ladies, remember, a proper foundation is important for any outfit. Whether one is dressed for a ball or for tea, one mustn't allow oneself to be half dressed.

In other words, keep your muffins on your plates. And let Tyra help. Tyra Therman knows underwear and corsets, and now you can find her collection at Liike as well as her own boutique, Punavuoren Putiikki, at Punavuorenkatu 1.

P.S. The swimsuits are hot too.
