Accessories Accede: What’s in My Miu Miu Camera Sac?

Q&A during the luggage preparation

Tell us about your Miu Miu camera sac.
Miu Miu’s pinky but not cheesy design has always been my vision pleasure. While Net-a-Porter launches this Miu Miu goat leather shoulder bag at 30% off during winter sale season, I realize that I couldn’t wait for any longer. The gold-tone of designer plaque on the front, the gold-tone hardware, the fully lined raspberry satin show the splendid details of the design. It would become my ideal New Year wallet since its two compartments, and while occasion differs, the detachable stripe would transform the cute wallet to a convenient pochette.

How would you organize your essentials by using this camera sac?
My travel size camera is definitely iPhone 5c, and Marc by Marc Jacobs headset is also an indispensable accessory for the music moment. The other compartment would restore my sample size make-ups and credit cards.
Coated in an opulent silver tone, Vivienne Westwood Small Neo Bas Relief stud earrings is my second collection. Using Westwood orb and satellite ring as its inspiration, the earrings are studded with Swarovski crystals and detailed with pink enamel highlights.

Prada sunglasses’ leopard pattern is for sure one of the best beach accessories! Black lenses, grey-tonal acetate frames, Made in Italy and 100% UV protection, the cat eye design will transform me into a mystic kitty in a second. Meow!

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Lip Protectant has been my favourite since 2014. I also find it a great solution to cure my occasional skin redness.

L’Occitane Shea butter hand cream 10ml is the must-have item while travelling. This long-term bestseller is also exquisite as body/foot cream when the air in flight dehydrates the skin.

M.A.C Skin Base Visage’s moisturizing ingredient with a spray of thermal water always refine my nude make-ups. This 6ml version is one of the freebies while purchasing any two items at M.A.C Helsinki during the spring sales.

See by Chloé cowhide leather cardholder is soft and wide enough to insert two ID cards within the same compartment. Only ‘See by Chloé’ at the front pocket, its simple design with sophisticated stiches and bronzing fonts is one of the great bargains in my small leather good collection.

Magazine Madness: TIME--Adele, The Year Ahead

TIME December 28, 2015-Janaury 4, 2016

Rarely that TIME would feature a female singer/songwriter on the cover, so when I head to work by passing through the kiosk at Helsinki Central Railway station, my gazes were caught by the poppy red frame, font and photo shoots, Adele’s rouge lips and flamingo fur coat. Since her first album, 19, outstandingly triumphed across the universe, it’s not surprising that Adele’s silhouette popping on the front page of VOGUE, Glamour, Q or Rolling Stone, but a British mom poses on TIME magazine, it proves that pop’s oldest fine soul has her special ray of light.  

Spending 4,95 EUR and having a cup of black tea, have a fun read in snowy January is a bliss. Born Adele Laurie Blue Adkins and raised in the working-class London neighborhood of Tottenham City by a single parent, Adele has her matured voice and sense of humor. She made music history with her new album, 25, which became the fastest selling record of all time after moving 3,4 million units in its first week. And her single ‘Hello’, about the call via landline to someone with the regrets, has been reaching over 900 million views by January 6th, 2016 on youtube. Viewing her performance at UK X-Factor on TV, her voice is intimate and simple, with a strong emotion of melancholy, sorrowfulness and nostalgia. Unlike nearly all her musician peers, Adele has no product-endorsement deals, and she ain’t stand the bastards getting playing around at her house. The artist could have released her new record, 25, earlier to make it eligible for the 2016 Grammys, but instead it arrived she felt fully ready.


Through the interview with Sam Lansky, we read that Adele is definitely not a Luddite, but unlike many of her contemporaries who use social media to telegraph images, she still writes her songs with pens and paper, buys her own record, and even takes address book with her. Adele considers herself old-fashioned, but the question is, why her songs can be sung and listened together with our grandparents, but the sense of violation does not exist.

Her performance is usually on a neat setting stage, with her evening gown, the band and the yellow dimly lights. Through her true voice, Adele sings out her genuine affection; under the public eyes, she chooses to stay at low profile. Perhaps that’s the main reason why Adele attracts so many various souls, and the fact that I purchase TIME and listen ‘Hello’ again and again while writing these passages. I find that the design of the TIME cover is just perfectly suitable with my new Marimekko unikko teacup set. At afternoon tea time, I place Mozart chocolate joining Adele, for my salute their lovely melody and great talents.

TIME Double issue bridges 2015 and 2016, Adele is music’s past, present and future.
