My Survival Guide to Provence

June 20, 2013 by Helena Halme Leave a Comment

When, back in rainy London, I was planning what to pack for our holiday here in Provence, my mind went blank. With the summer weather in the UK being more like that of a mild winter in my native Finland, it was impossible to imagine a place where the sun would shine all day and it would be too hot … [Read more...]

Crouch End Knowledge: Scarlet Rage Vintage

June 2, 2013 by Helena Halme Leave a Comment

I have to come clean: I don't like vintage shops. The only good item I've ever got in a second hand shop (as they used to be called) was a beautiful Victorian christening gown for Son. And that was nearly twenty-six years ago. (Time flies). I still have it, for the next generation, and I truly … [Read more...]

Helsinki shopping

May 26, 2013 by Helena Halme 1 Comment

When in Helsinki I rarely miss a visit to Stockmann's department store. This shop is a bit of a Selfridges of Helsinki, and you'd be pushed to want something they don't stock. Especially the food hall downstairs is so moorish, I have to be really careful not to buy it all up! (Suitcase issues are … [Read more...]

My Prada shoes

May 23, 2012 by Helena Halme 2 Comments

I wrote a post many moons ago about my favourite shoes. Amongst them was a pair of wonderful Prada sandals which at the time I'd never worn, but couldn't bring myself to part with either. In the days following that post I had emails asking me if I'd be willing to sell them, and I had to reply … [Read more...]
