Style: Hip-Hugging Tunic 

This is our first-ever Helsinki vs. New York style pictorial!

The sister style challenge: how do you wear a tunic that’s fitted on the hips on different shapes and sizes? I have slimmer hips and look better with pieces that are slightly lose on me: shift dresses that just “hang” are heaven for my body type. Viola has fantastical curves, so she looks amazing in form-fitting, feminine pieces.

When we received this Ivana Basilotta Aurora  peace-silk piece as part of our MISSQA stock, we started brainstorming different ways to wear it.

Viola opted to style it as a slouchy top with wide-leg jeans. I, instead, wore it as a mini dress with tights. This summer, I’ll wear it with bare legs and Viola will swap the jeans to shorts. How would you wear this piece? Please let us know in the comments below!

STYLE: One-Shoulder Dress

I have never had easier time choosing what to wear when I was planning my outfit for my Finnish TV show’s premiere party. It takes me more time to dress for work meetings!

One-shoulder dress is always elegant, yet subtly sexy and it was exactly what I wanted to communicate when doing press. I paired this Ivana Basilotta peace-silk piece with a Jill Milan clutch and Beyond Skin leopard-print heels. I kept the gems simple and only added an old thin gold cuff (my good luck charm) and stud earrings.  


The TV show follows the lives of four real Finnish women working and living in New York (yes, very Sex and the City) and premiered yesterday on the Liv TV channel. Some of the highlights include eco fashion events (in this city, being vegan and eco is glamorous!) and my volunteer trip to Catskills Animal Sanctuary, which is a magical place.
