PRE Helsinki
Instagram @5inchandup
Last week we celebrated the emerging talents of Finland, when the fashion scene came together for the third year of PRE Helsinki. With what is rapidly shaping up to become our capitails Fashion Week - PRE Helsinki was filled with presentation and parties that brought together media and phrased international press - talent scouts from Vogue and Gucci to name a few.
I honored our home grown designers by not only attending the shows but by wearing them as well. So to sum it up; Abstract stripes and a promising new season presentation by the one to watch - Lepokorpi. A factory and behind the scenes look into the production of Marimekko’s iconic prints. Mixing seasons in chunky R/H knits with finds from Miltton’s designer sample sale, paired with a lot of toe torture in my ever growing collection of Minna Parikka shoes. A home visit to legendary fashion mogul - Vuokko Nurmesniemi, Furry fantasy shoes by Elina Määttänen and a powerful ending to the week with Aalto University's graduate fashion show.
Outfit details and more, you’ll find me on Instagram @5inchandup, naturally.

The Instagram Style Audit: 10 best outfits Instagram had to offer this week from white lace to simple stripes
This week Instagram's style stars have definitely given us all something to think about. From white lace dresses that have me dreaming of lazy beach days in the sun to stunning black numbers that are longing to be worn out and about in the city, there's a little something here for everyone when it comes to style suggestions. If you need advice on what to wear this week, let these ladies act as your style gurus. I give you... the best of this week's Instagram style bloggers...
1. Black doesn't have to mean boring... case in point...

2. There are truly no limits to stripes. It's almost as if they are all constantly colluding. They all want to be worn together. Won't you let them have their wish?

3. Print clashing - the most fun you can have with fashion... EVER!

4. If you're looking in your closet and wondering what to wear this morning, try this. Grab a denim shirt and absolutely any print skirt. Here's the guarantee - it will work!

5. Vertical stripes - the universal flatterer! That's all.

6. If you're feeling not quite up to going strapless (or day we say... braless) yet this summer, throw on a tee under the spaghetti strapped dress for a casual chic looking change.

7. In case you missed the memo, let me remind that you gingham is huge this season. However, don't go too crazy. Instead use gingham in your wardrobe as a singular statement with a shirt, a skirt or a pair of shorts. Leave the rest simple to compliment the print.

8. A white button down is the easiest thing to pull from your wardrobe on a day when you're in a hurry. Just throw it on and pair with a few layers of bright and beautiful necklaces and you'll stand out like a style knock out in the crowd.

9. Why not try showing a little bit of skin this summer? It's all in the wording there - just a little bit, like a sliver of skin with a perfectly placed crop top and pencil skirt pairing.

10. Broderie Anglaise makes EVERYTHING better for summer!
