Tapiola, Finland
In Finnish, we call the weather ‘pakasta’ while the temperature drops below 0’c. My hubby and I thought that we might never experience it during this rather warmer wintertime, immediately our wishful thinking got crashed, before the day of Helsinki HSL (Helsinki public transportation) went on the strike.

My hubby and I thought that we might never experience it during this rather warmer wintertime, immediately our wishful thinking got crashed, before the day of Helsinki HSL (Helsinki public transportation) went on the strike.
The snowstorm struck national wide in
Finland on Thursday, merely a half morning the snow accumulated up to the knee
high. On Sunday, it is now -10’c in the afternoon, the estimated highest will
go up to -8…..it seems very encouraging. The north wind is blowing chilly while
the sky is shining clearly, therefore, a Zara wool coat and double layers of wool
cardigans are must-haves when taking an outdoor afternoon walk.
Zara light grey wool coat with wraparound
collar is my favorite style during 2017-2018, the composition is very much like
my last March purchase, Mango oversize pinky coat: 60% wool, 20% polyester and
20% viscose, and side pockets contrasting belt in front. Zara wraparound square
collar is also performing as the wool beanie, and the over-knee length keeping
my legs warm; there is no need to wear a stocking or high-tech pants underneath
of the Zara high-waist cotton-elastane jeans.
I always love to buy knitwear during the
winter season, since it gives me the holiday feel and always the fun to mix and
match on the freezing day. Last Chinese New Year during my stay in Taipei, I
found this pastel rose-poudre cardigan at Kookaï, with materials of 52% wool,
25% polyamide, 19% yak and 4% elastane, both on the colours and the materials,
perfectly matches together with Vivienne Westwood 100% wool creamy white cardigan
for the layering look. The Vivienne Westwood classic cardigan is finished with
the signature orb emblem delicately embroidered to the chest, and the 7 honey
brown buttons, atop with the last eighth, is also carved with Saturn orb logo.
For the accessories to mix and match with
the outfits, Chloé round-framed ivory white acetate sunglasses always goes no
wrong with any styles; the vintage Vivienne Westwood small bas relief earrings
echoes the creamy white cardigan, and Mango goat skin gloves with girlish knots
for the a bit of chic trend. Chanel iridescent camellia WOC is my best decision
during the Barcelona trip in 2017. Finally, I choose Louis Vuitton Exploration
flat ankle boots to complete the outfit of the day. Its pointed toe, shining
patent calfskin and tight ankle design reach the touch of Medieval Gothic
fashion, which balance the pastel hues of the Zara wool coat, the Kookaï
rose-poudre and Vivienne Westwood creamy white cardigans. My whole silhouette
is shrinking from the round shape of the wool coat to the triangle tip of the
ankle boots, even in the ‘pakasta’ Sunday with puffy layering, the complete
look is still available to leak my bodyline, rather sacrificing to become a
‘Michelin Mascot’ at outdoor afternoon walk.
TOP TIP 1: Adapting the pastel cardigans to
balance the darker hues of other outfits
TOP TIP 2: The fine and natural materials
are the major concerns for the purpose of purchase
