HEAR ME ROAR







       Sunglasses, BIKBOK / Sweater, Pull & Bear / Skirt, Zara / Bag, H&M / Ankle boots, Skopunkten

Hello friends! Sorry for not posting in a while. Had the job interview, don't know the results yet but I have my fingers crossed :) I went for a cruise to Tallinn, Estonia with my work mates and I shopped pretty hard - almost missed the ship back to Helsinki! I'll show you the rest of the stuff later but you can see one of my purchases here : I bought the panther sweater from Pull & Bear in Tallinn. We don't have Pull&Bear here in Finland and I've always shopped there on my summer holidays in Spain so it brings good memories, so, long story short, I like the shop very much.

Back to the most important thing, the outfit. I seem to be very keen on the sporty/rock chic mix at the moment and I wear this skirt a lot these days, and usually with a sweater. This time was no exception. This one is just a little less sporty. I loved wearing all this. Now, back to hoodies and leggings and the assignments for the fashion schools. Sigh. I think I'm pretty hopeless with the painting and it looks like the assignments were made by a 7-year-old. So I am not counting on going back to school!

Hope you had a fun Easter x

SUNDAY, WORKING DAY





 Cap, H&M. College sweatshirt, Gina Tricot. Faux-leather skirt, Zara. Bag + shoes, H&M.

My outfit for a Sunday spent working. I don't have that much to write... Feeling a bit shitty and confused at the moment and also a bit stressed out about the assignments that I have to accomplish for the fashion schools I am trying to get into.

Have a better Sunday night than me :)

FANNY LYCKMAN FOR ESTRADEUR

One of my fave lookbookers + bloggers, Fanny Lyckman has also lauched her own line (available at nelly.com) and there were a couple of pieces that caught my eye - and which I ordered.

I think the cap is cool and fun and the bag is something I've been looking for a while now. Check the line out here.

STRIPEY PANTS!






                                Whole outfit, H&M.

Bought these stripey pants from H&M's children's department! I just suddenly decided that I want to have stripey pants and they were the only ones available ( I wanted to buy the ladies' ones that have a bit thicker stripes in them but there weren't any), so I tried these on and they looked kinda cool. And now they look even cooler!:) The first outfit idea I came up with was teaming them up with this bright-coloured beanie, college sweater and black platfrom sneakers. I like this outfit so much I'm a bit sad that I'm just sitting home all night tonight and trying to work on my art-school application assignments :(

How do you like it? What do you like about the stripey pants -trend this spring?

LAST SUNDAY.


 Beanie, random & old. Burgundy college sweater, random. Jacket, Zara. Jeans, H&M. Ankle boots, Skopunkten.

 Sunday's outfit post as I promised. I was so excited to wear my new jacket, luckily it was a sunny and warm day. The pics are from the hotel room, I thought it was a nice place to take photos. A bit different from the ones I usually take. I think my camera's a bit bad though, I hardly ever get good pictures with it :s

Here's how I spend the rest of the day: spent it with my family eating cake and macarons :)

BIRTHDAY WEEKEND



So I spent the weekend celebrating my 20th birthday. We went to Hard Rock Café and I had booked a hotel room for me and my boyfriend for the weekend to make it a bit more special :) Was such a nice and relaxing weekend. I went shopping on Saturday and got myself a couple of presents -  THE Zara jacket and a stripey knit from COS. My first buy from COS! I love the store but have never really found anything worth the money as the items are a bit too quirky to spend that much money on... I think you should only splurge on items that you know for sure that you'll wear a lot and on basics such as an LBD or a genuine leather bag/shoes etc. Maybe basic, simple knitwear and blouses and jeans are fine to splurge on too. I just happen to like so many things that I want to buy a lot of different clothes instead of spending on a few classics :D You'll get an outfit post about the weekend too :)

SAYS HE'S GONNA TEACH ME JUST WHAT FAST IS




Sunnies, BIKBOK. Necklaces, Ralph Lauren and Seppälä. Shirt, H&M. Shorts, DIY. Sneakers, H&M.

This is the kind of look I patched together today. Pink lipstick, stripey blouse, scruffy denim shorts and statement jewellery with platform sneakers. Got this idea last night and I am pretty surprised about how well it worked. I am very sorry for the pictures though, I don't know why they are such bad quality :s Hope you can get the idea anyway though. Feeling very inspired and I get lots of new outfit ideas all the time, maybe it's the sunlight!

How about you, are you feeling inspired and getting new ideas for great spring looks?

DENIM, DENIM


Today I was inspired by Rihanna's double denim looks. The first one is a bit more ladylike and the second one is scruffy, but damn I love those shorts! Got an inspiration for a DIY. Haven't dressed up yet, no plans for today. But when (and if) I do, I'll try to make some kind of a post out of it now that I have time.

Now guys, I am off to make my ombré a bit blonder!



Have a nice weekend xx

It's a lovely sunny day outside! I'm having a day off so I finally had time to take proper photos and do a real blog post.

And I love the fact that we can finally wear sunnies!<3 a="" enjoyed="" have="" hope="" lovely="" nbsp="" post.="" this="" thursday="" xx="" you="">
