Fall Jewellery By Céline

Hanna Kovanen

 

Since the weather is moody today I’ve begun to think about my fall wardrobe, and there is one piece of jewellery which tempts me – an alphabet necklace from CÈLINE. If I could get one with an ´H´for Hanna. Dream on.

Dior J’adior

I’ve been eyeing these J’ADIOR by DIOR slingback shoes (also the flat ones) for a while, and I am sure many of you have as well. At first I was not sure whether I actually like them or if my sensibilities have been affected by the current hype, but over the years I’ve come to a conclusion that lying to yourself is the worst thing one could potentially do. So here I am, confessing my addiction.

To be realistic, I don’t think these shoes will appear in my closet any time soon, if ever, because I have way too many other pairs on my wish list. At least I can keep on admiring them from afar.

Matteau Spring And Summer

Hanna Kovanen

 

Lets pretend it is summer for a moment. Not long ago my go-to swimwear line, MATTEAU SWIM, released a spring & summer collection (see the previous resort collection here), which continues to explore the brand’s uncomplicated aesthetic point of view. The campaign features Phoebe Tonkin shot in Palm Beach in Australia by Alexandra Nataf.

I would love to spend the summer in the new ‘Plunge’ swimsuit, and all of the white pieces would look stunning against tanned skin, no? Luckily the brand is now stocked by Matchesfashion.com.

Céline Fall 2017

Hanna Kovanen

 

When Phoebe Philo delivers, she creates a feeling of temptation, and you know you’re set for whatever is to come. I am proud of being a CÈLINE woman all the way.

This collection a straightforward whole which offers to-die-for coats, blazers, and accessories a-plenty. In the fall bags will be eye-catchingly oversized, earrings sparkly, and apparently a quirky scarf or blanket is going to be a must-have statement. She has an eye for colour so baby blue seems to be here to stay. I also spotted a few interesting prints here and there.

But what truly matters is this is the way I want to dress. Period. And I agree with Philo: it is enough when the clothes speak for themselves.

TOTÊME Pre-Spring

Hanna Kovanen

 

TOTÊME launches a pre-spring collection today, which is full of chic and practical articles for a vacation wardrobe.   The collection consists of new styles, such as blouses, dresses and denim, and of classic styles, which come in new patterns and different colors, and feel more now. Remaking classic styles is a feature shared by many of my favourite brands, because it encourages to wear personal favorites season after season, and there is not need to buy a new wardrobe all over again.

For spring Phoebe gives us a beautiful colour palette, sophisticated cut-outs, high-waisted trousers, masculine blazers and many, many details such as lace which form a very wearable and covetable collection.  The selection of accessories is amazing – I would pick the strap sandals and the very chic and classic top-handle handbag in black, and I cannot wait to see the full range of sunglasses and earrings, as always.

Matteau Swim Resort

Brand To Know: Matteau Swim

I am very aware of the fact that winter is coming, but not everywhere in the world, and when something necessary becomes available, you need to act.   Matteau Swim has recently launched their Resort 2016 collection which is now available for pre-orders and is about to hit stores. The campaign stars Phoebe Tonkin, an Australian actress, who is a muse of the brand, but also one of the most stylish people, would you agree?  The swimwear line was created by Ilona Hamer, a very successful stylist, and her sister Peta Heinsen to be the subtle swimsuit – it is based on refined and uncomplicated aesthetics and the perfect fit. They started from a classic black swimsuit, but have now carried out an organic expansion and introduced basic swimwear in sophisticated colours and more styles.  Very chic and very much on my wish list.

Toteme is an amazing brand to look for the best basics. Their new collection has just launched, and my personal picks include the classic Chelsea coat, Verbier sweater and straigt denim.

Editorial Crush – Styleby

Hands down this is one of the best editorial I have set my eyes for some time. I love every looked styled by Columbine Smille who happens to be my favourite fashion editor as well.  Julia Hafstrom photographed by Rory van Millingen and styled by Columbine Smille for Styleby Magazine.

June Mood Board

Chic Summer Vibes

We are a few days into the month of June which means that it is time to set the mood for the summer. My favourite season no doubt.  I am looking for the swimwear (still not sure what to buy) and cannot wait to wear a wide-brimmed straw hat like the one Elin Kling is sporting.

Swimwear Pick

Hanna Kovanen

 

Swimwear above from MATTEAU SWIM.  For me it has always been important to wear the ”right” swimwear and sunnies every summer, maybe that is because I have lived in Australia or because summer is my favourite season. Nevertheless, you should always choose swimwear that you feel comfortable wearing (read this post), do not worry too much about what other people think, and try to look for something of good quality.. You should definitely check out Matteau Swim as the label masters the classic and uncomlicated swimwear. It was recently created by Ilona Hamer who is the Fashion Director of Unconditional Magazine.
