Introducing a Nordic essential: the red dress

Helsinki, 13 degrees

A woman in a red dress is the devil in disguise.

Today again Helsinki experienced all kinds of weather conditions: sun, clouds, rain, sun, hail, and sun again - what's going on? Like I mentioned before, me and my sister opened up a flea market in the spirit of the Cleaning Day event that we have twice a year here in Helsinki. It went really well between 9am-2pm but unfortunately after that, the heavy rain forced us to pack our things and run back to my sister's place. I sold about half of my stuff, and I had a lot of it, so I was really, really happy! It was such a fun day talking to random people, spotting Finnish fashion bloggers and enjoying a day with my sister!

I've been having a cold for some days now, so I was happy that I could participate in the Cleaning Day today. Thank God for tea and honey!

Today I want to share the dark and warm red tones that dominate the Nordic fall fashion.


In Finland, both fashion magazines Elle Finland and Trendi have recently presented the red tones.


I liked this combination of burgundy and red, seen in H&M's fall fashion magazine..but of course I enjoy to wear also all burgundy or all red dresses, dress lover as I am!


Have you found your tone already?

What's your opinion?

  1. red suits you beautifully! are you wearing those same clothes from the ad?
    actually I used to dislike red but then decided to give it a try and started to like it. burgundy is a lovely shade for an example. but to be honest I like wearing all kinds of colours. it doesn't really matter what season it is.
    and yeah, makeover is not a bad thing when someone wants it. I'm simply not that person, hehe. but we do have a tv show here in Estonia where people get makeover and they really need and want those makeovers (new hairstyle, new clothes, make-up etc).
