Black lace


There hasn't been much black lace in our Lace Diary, perhaps because summer naturally calls for simple white cotton & linen and matching laces and broderies? But autumn is coming; dark nights, candlelight and sophisticated parties, to which all there's no better mood enhancer than black lace. It's mysterious, sexy, dramatic and decadent as much as white lace is innocent, sweet, happy. So I gathered together black wool crepe and different black laces which Tiina will turn into a little black dress inspired by sort of gothic Twenties. I've already got matching shoes and pearls for it. Now I need dark wine lipstick and a dark romantic boudoir, or perhaps a fancy cocktail bar that's on the top floor of some Art Deco skyscraper to wear it in.

Pitsiunelmissa ei ole juurikaan näkynyt mustaa pitsiä, ehkä koska kesä on raikkaan valkoisen puuvillan ja pellavan ja niihin sointuvien herkkien pitsien ja brodyyrien aikaa. Mutta syksy lähenee; pimeät yöt, kynttilät, hienostuneet juhlat, joihin ei ole mustaa pitsiä parempaa tunnelman kohottajaa. Musta pitsi on salaperäistä, seksikästä, dramaattista ja dekadenttia. Valitsin mustaa villakreppiä ja mustia pitsinauhoja, joista Tiina ompelee pikkumustan jonkinlaisessa goottilaisessa 20-luvun hengessä. Siitä tulee täydellinen syysjuhla-asu, johon minulla on jo kengät ja helminauha valmiina. Nyt puuttuu enää viininvärinen huulipuna ja synkän romanttinen buduaari, tai Art Deco -pilvenpiirtäjän kattokerroksessa oleva sofistikoitunut cocktailbaari.

Black lace inspirration from Lula magazine, one of my top-three favourite magazines in the whole world.
Mustan pitsin inspiraatiota Lula Magazinesta, joka on yksi kolmesta suosikkilehdestäni ikinä.

  1. I am crazy about the last two pictures. The scarf in the second to last and the hat in the last one. Aaah! Saving them! :D

  2. I particularly love the last one, it's so dreamy. If you haven't met Lula magazine yet, you should, I'm sure you'd like it a lot.

  3. Is it an international magazine? A Finnish? British? :D I really would like to get my hands on one.

  4. I'm not actually sure where it's from, either US or GB. Or maybe Australia... it's in English anyway, but they don't give any physical address in the mag. It's really thick and weighs about a ton, not too many ads (and the ads they have are pretty artistic too) and everything is dreamy - girly - eccentric - romantic - mysterious.
