Spring Coats

Hanna Kovanen

 
 
 

I haven’t bought a coat in ages apart from some hiking clothes and one second-hand TOTEME (when did they rebrand their name?) from the early days of the brand in 2021. But I have quietly been crushing over these two classic pieces by Saks Potts. Namely, the Solvej trench and the Amalie leather coat, here worn by the brand’s model and muse Rosemarie Vind.

Check out their FW23 collection here.

Corali

Swan Collier.

 
 

It is almost 5pm on a Friday afternoon so lets keep this introduction short.

Corali Jewelry is a Danish brand, founded by architect Caroline Sillesen. Her jewelry obviously has that sculptural edge and the vibe is timeless but also very now. I think the creative direction of the brand has taken a step forward recently. Also my old friend Maria runs their PR. Keep your eyes fixed on what they do! I should also emphasize that all pieces are handmade in Copenhagen. Their Swan Collier and Lago necklace are on my wish list.

Aussie Diary

Hanna Kovanen

 

Roads in Western Australia.

 
 

Hi all! This is a long and very old school photo diary from Australia. I got to spend a bit over two weeks over Christmas and early January over there. I had been longing to go back and it was damn nice to see some good friends and just hang out. I was away for six weeks in total and just got back from New Zealand. But anyway, enjoy!

 
 

Smiths beach.

 
 

Smiths Beach Resort.

 
 

Heavenly bath tub.

 
 

The morning of 24th of December.

 
 

Outdoor shower.. no words.

 
 

I stayed with an old friend near Margaret River and managed to squeeze in an overnight stay at Smiths Beach Resort amid all the wine drinking the region has got to offer. We had seen the resort before Covid while getting some much needed morning coffee and only ever dreamed we could splurge and stay a night there. But somehow we got lucky as we found a good cancellation deal just the night before. It was a bliss.

Another morning walk.

 
 

Facial at Melanie Grant.

 
 

And her book.

 
 

Yes, so I treated myself to a facial at Melanie Grant. I suppose this is in the category “you know if you know” but, nope, Melanie herself did not do my facial. But Natasha was absolutely brilliant and this was hands down the best facial experience I have ever, ever had. They also gave me a personalized at-home skincare plan which I am now committed to. Lots of great products I had already been using. Could not recommend more!

 
 

Morning swim.

And just another morning swim.

 

The Row Summer 2023

Some images from The Row’s Summer 2023 collection presented in Paris. The new Winter 2023 collection has also been released but I am a bit behind. And, as I am currently in Auckland, New Zealand, the summer vibes feels right. Though, it has been raining and the city is flooded, so I suppose I am ready for 30+ hours in transit. See you soon Europe.

Berlin Diary

Architecture at the newly opened Châteu Royal Berlin.

 
 

I spent a long weekend in Berlin with good - old and new - friends. It was a blast, like you’d probably expect, and very inspiring in many ways. Many people asked me if we had actually stayed in Château Royal Berlin. And: no! My friend is an interior architect, so she picked the interior stops, whereas I was in charge of the fashion side things. I have some old friends in the city who were kind enough to accommodate us.

 

Line Vautrin

Hi! It feels like a lifetime ago when I wrote the last entry. I had to remind of myself of some of the technical aspects of writing a blog post and editing images. Imagine that! Golly!

These jewelry pieces and decorative objects are part of the Line Vautrin - the brilliant 20th century French jewelry designer - collection that is currently sold here as well as at The Row London flagship store. Some of these pieces were styled as part of the SS23 collection of The Row. This rare collection was sourced by Mon Vintage.

Proenza!

Hanna Kovanen

 

Since I am back here, let us get to the bottom of it. Have I been shopping? Well, yes I have. I got this Proenza Schouler number (the tie-dye shirt beneath) a few months ago and it has become my most worn piece of clothing. The shirt I am wearing on top is Totéme, their classic style, and I wear it all the time too. However, that is pretty much it as far as shopping goes. I got a pair of The Row shoes from the sales, which I had been eyeing for five months. Thankfully learned not to visit the high street every week for a quick fix during my first degree in Edinburgh.

Galerie

Hey hey!

Or as long as that does not sound as bad as they make it sound in Succession (what kind of sentence is that?). At least my management skills are equally incompetent as it comes to the running of this platform. But it is nice to back in this space. I have been quite taken up with balancing work and university. But I got tested positive for covid the other day (I am feeling ok so far (double vaccinated)), so that did the job of emptying my schedule. So here we are.

Lets start with some nice inspiration as a courtesy of the Galerie by The Row. By no means have I decorated my apartment ( I am a student again) so I am still dreaming on, friends.

Igor Pants by The Row

Hi all! Just letting you that after a lot of hard work (full-time job and university - just don’t do it, period) comes the play. And they play in this case means these pants from The Row. I set my eyes on them the second I saw The Row’s outstanding Spring 2021 collection. I know some people over at Sourcewhere, an upcoming sourcing site for sold out items, and they helped me out. I am not sure, if you can see the site yet because I am one of their beta testers, but just wait a week or two. It is brilliant!
