Helsinki

Helsinki est la <a href="http://wdchelsinki2012.fi/en" target="_blank">capitale mondiale du design 2012</a>, et j'étais bien évidemment ravie de faire un tour dans cette jolie ville en début de semaine. J'ai passé la plupart de mon temps dans le <a href="http://www.designdistrict.fi/news" target="_blank">Design District</a>, un carré de 25 rues qui regorgent de design, mode, art, musées et restaurants. <span style="background-color: white;">Je me suis aussi arrêtée au pavillon officiel de la capitale du design, mais je regrette de ne pas avoir eu le temps d'explorer le musée du design avoisinant (mais la boutique était très chouette).</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br />Parmi les magasins visités, voici quelques uns de mes préférés... </span><span style="background-color: white;">(toutes les photos sont les miennes)</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /><i>Helsinki is the </i><a href="http://wdchelsinki2012.fi/en" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">world design capital 2012</a><i>, and I was of course thrilled to pay a visit to this beautiful city earlier this week. I spent most of my time in the </i><a href="http://www.designdistrict.fi/news" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">Design District</a><i>, 25 streets filled with design, fashion, art, musems and restaurants.
