at the old stables called the Horse’s Head… was an underground (literally!) showroom….
Is my name on the list? Please? Pretty please..
Yeyyyyy… In I am!
Welcomed by La Bella Kristina Viirpalu.
You can never imagine how tired I am, she whispeared in my ear. The lady sure hides it well.
And I must say, this was by and far the funkyest stables I’ve ever visited… A horsegirl at heart, I know what I’m talking about.
There were pirates in attendance. Edgy cool Londoners. DJ’s and live music.
The loveliest Ene Post in the world, below. We keep on bumping into each other in funny places.
Ene has two things I secretly crave for. A wardrobe full of Kristina’s dreams (such as this coat – uhhhhhh I want it!) AND natural Titian red curls. I’ve always, since I was knee-high, wanted flaming red curls all the way to the waist… Something… considerably more unique than my Scandinavian blondness. And my only sad attempt towards Freeflowing Wild Woman hair ended up in such a terrible shade of a carrot that I actually had to leave the country till it faded. My ex-fiance actually comforted me by saying that I should head someplace where everybody is dark… There any blonde would just be – yet another blonde.
Even when somewhat orange.
And this story is true.
Nuff said.
This lady caught my eye, and imagination. There was something so sad in her eyes, even if she was smiling.
Surrounded by her pirate entourage, she was served and treated like a princess. Maybe she was somebody’s princess.

And then, the dresses of the exhibition. Wedding dresses from Kristina this time, with a modern twist. Incredible craftsmanship.
The event was courtesy of press and PR d’oro – thank you once more Sissi!
This dress below Kristina actually designed for me. I asked her to create something in the theme and style of my favorite decade, the 1920’s and as usual, she wowed me.
Open all the way to the waist at the back, this hand-knitted fine lacy dress has ribbons in old rosa on the hips and across the back… She even made two slip dresses to go with it, one in old rosa and another in soft white. So I can alter it according to mood.
Miaowwwwww.
Jaha, I perhaps should have combed my hair that day… Instead of having the look you have when you leave for the airport at 4 AM. Grrrrrrr lazy me.
And to kick the Fashion Week off with style – the International Fashion Showcase 2013 Award went to this very exhibition! Congratulations Kristina, Kristian, Karl & Kadri!!!

With our Dr. Hauschka goodiebags, happy & exhausted, we exited to the night of London. 
And, kröhm, if I’m honest, I again opted for my bed instead of partying… I think I must be the most boring travel companion in history.
Good night my crazy wildatheart untamed buzzing thumping sweet London.
You never cease to amaze me.
And that’s why you always keep me coming back for more.
