YOURS TRULY,
SIIRI
Charming to meet you,
​
I am Siiri, an author of several diaries and occasional essayist, whose life is a peculiar melange of ballet and poetry. Since 2016 I have been writing to you – wherever your bedroom may be – from my very own powder blue bedroom in a far away land of eastern Finland.
​
With a decree in design and hobbies in performing arts, the world that I create online is bound to be theatrical covering topics from my surrounding culture, and usually, consisting an element of style – sometimes elegant but potentially a bit dramatic. Simply put, I write about life as it is or as it appears to be, while observing what it means to be a woman in the 21st century.
Yours Truly, Siiri is, therefore, a collection of virtual letters that deal with universal, unique and extremenly personal issues (even joys) of being here, right now.

If I could have a superpower what would it be?

What is my style inspiration?
What do I like most about life?
Deep down, I am just a classy girl who loves a good tweed blazer with pearl earrings and a nude lip. Which is why, my outfits are often a mix of vintage and modern, and aim to appear elegantly romantic. The core items in my wardrobe are classic Brittish/French style influenced pieces like tartan suits and berets. I like the heritage feeling of these styles. However, a lot of my outfit inspiration comes also from stories I've heard or movies I've seen. What's more, over the years, I have learned to choose the most flattering colours for me which are soft autumn tones. Knowing this has been life changing. Most of all, it’s important to have fun and feel wonderful in your clothing, so a fabulous (provocating) hat is occassionally needed.
As a dancer, I love moving because being able to do, learn and express things with your body is fascinating to me, and I love that I get to have a mobile life, feel my muscles working and take me to places. To me movement is life and its ever changing, and that’s why you never know what’s coming next. Honestly, I know it sounds strange, but everyday I am amazed at the joy moving gives me.
