WINTER WISHLIST.

Sometimes when I'm feeling bad/sad/tired/desperate I feel a need to do some serious web shopping. I don't know why I think it would save me from any kind of trouble (instead of creating new ones and with money). The last two days haven't been the best for me, and I noticed myself wanting to click on the numerous web shopping heavens and doing some comfort shopping. This time I think I may have fought it and won - still haven't bought a thing. Instead, I thought I'd make a wishlist of all things nice without spending any money.


The first one is Classic Short UGG Boots in Camel. I had these exact ones a few years back, they were actually my first UGGs. My sister started borrowing them and it was the death of the boots.

UGG boots, 249,95€, Zalando.

Mohair coat, 149€, ZARA.

I've been wanting a pastel-coloured coat for a while now. I love all things black and grey, so I think that this would cheer up my winter wardrobe. This beauty is from Zara .

Sneakers, 88€, Nike.com.

Another one would be a pair of Nike Air Force 1 Mid 06's. These I will probably buy on my payday - did a lot of research to find a pair my size somewhere, and FINALLY it payed off! These are boy's shoes and I found the right size at nike.com . It is very useful sometimes to have small feet ;) Children's shoes are usually way cheaper and they have come in small enough sizes.

Nike cap, 34,90€, Stadium.

I also love this Nike cap. I've suddenly started liking even sportier things than I used to, and another "new" thing I've started to wear is red accessories. This would tick both boxes.Buy it here. I think I will.

Dress, 85€, &Other Stories.

Also a fancy striped dress would be nice.

Bag, 350€, Michael Kors.

I have been lusting after this Michael Kors Hamilton Satchel for like a year now. I know that it's not the trendiest it-bag of the moment but I like it's classic look and I think that buying this would make me wear all my tan shoes way more... I am trying to save money for some kind of a bigger purchase, so that I can splurge with a better conscious. I am not sure yet what might be the splurge-worthy thing. It might be a trip abroad, a new TV, a dishwasher, or a new favourite item. This one could be a good option.

Jersey top, 55€, COS.

Pure beauty.

Watch, 369€, Michael Kors.

Been dreaming about this forever. This is also on the splurge-worthy list.

What's on your wishlist? Mine could go on forever though. Decided to go to bed now, it's late and I've got work tomorrow :)

Good night!

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 :)

THIS IS WHAT I WANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY!

So, my birthday's in a couple of weeks. I have been lusting after this gorgeous jacket at ZARA for so long that I think it would be time to get it. I SO wish to get it as a birthday present either from my family or friends or all of them together. (If any of you are reading this, my size is XS!) I know the price is a bit too much for someone to buy it for me all by themselves,  but hey, you can always split?! We'll see on 15th March how this turned out.

Here's the beauty ( and I'm meaning the jacket now, not the girl):

Both pictures, ZARA.

PUT ON MASCARA AND YOUR PARTY DRESS

Well, hello! After a well-rested night I finally have some energy to give you another post.

So I'm celebrating my friend's 20th birthday tonight :) Bought a new dress recently, and thought I'd wear it for this occasion.

Do any of you remember this picture of Rochelle Wiseman? I may have used it in one of my fashion inspiration posts. My new dress is quite similiar! Inspired by this, I thought I'd simply wear it and some heels and a leather jacket.

Here's the dress:

 

 Dress, H&M.

And some of my shoe options:

                                                   1. ZARA, 2. Jeffrey Campbell, 3. Louboutin.

I am not sure if I'm a bit overdressed in this outfit, but I'd REALLY like to dress up for the first time in a million years! ;) There's a bit of a dilemma though, because I got some AMAZING neon pink peep-toe pumps from Spain earlier this summer and I have never worn them yet (because I've been mostly working, and heels are not a good option for such a job) and I'd really like to. Hmmmm... When I figure something out, I'll tell you and I WILL do an outfit post, latest tomorrow! And if you want to have a sneak peek, check my lookbook tonight!

Have a nice Friday,

New buys!

Mint studded top, Zara

This is the backside of the top. At the front it's a basic black top...I just love the back. I'll post better photos when I'm wearing it for the first time! Cut back top, Zara

A cool skeleton top. Been drooling after all kinds of skeleton shirts and  finally got mine! Skeleton top, Zara.

Taupe pumps with snake print heels and platform. Ois, 49,95

All the tops are from Zara. I felt like I was in desperate need of new shirts and decided to give these ones a try. After trying them on, I was in love and bought them all straight away! Can't wait to show you all the cool outfits I can create around these pieces ;) The heels were Ois and I bought them from Aleksi 13. I got 40% off and they were actually only 29.95 euros. Yay! I think they might look gorgeous with jeans and a crisp white blouse and a blazer or with simple and pretty summer dresses. These are no work shoes though :(

New Buys!

Hiyaaa! went shopping with a friend today. Found lots of stuff but the dresses I wrote about on my earlier posts...there weren't any of my size left. Boo :( I had a hard time trying to decide what to wear...When going shopping, not wearing a too complex outfit is quite vital (if you want to try something on!). So went for a leopard printed blouse, wet-look leggings, black clutch and my black wedges.
WHAT I BOUGHT:

Jeans - crocker/JC

Blouse - Zara

faux leather skirt - Zara

S O L O N G , G O O D B Y E H O L I D A Y S !

Soooo apparently, my summer holidays are coming to an end... Tomorrow I'm waking up bright and early to get back to my studies! Feeling a bit odd. BUT it's not completely over yet - the days are still mostly warm so it's not that bad! And I'm off to Stockholm on Thursday afternoon :) Woo!

But, as the autumn is nearly here, I thought I'd dedicate this post to some lovely ideas about autumn fashion that you can knock everyone else off on your first day back at school! Enjoy!

Let's Get Nautical

Ahoy! Went to Mar Menor last night for a night out in the harbour. There was a funfair and some other cool stuff like that. I knew we were going to eat something 'fishy' so decided to work on the vibe as much as I can. SO my final idea was to wear my striped shorts with a white tank and pumps. Added some golden jewelry, a golden chain necklace to make it a bit more luxurious, and then some red lipstick with my red nails. I think the whole outfit was pretty fresh and suited perfectly for some fun at the harbour.What do you think?

The Past Week

Inspired, wanted to wear my 'baggy' jeans with a simple white tee and studded gladiator sandals. Was super comfy! They're not quite "real jeans" but it's definitely denim. The trousers are soft and light so you can wear them through all seasons! In the summer when it's hot and in the winter you can team them up with warmer clothes.


Trousers - H&M
T-Shirt - Clique
Gladiators - Lindex






 




Ooh, the shirt is going to be my new baby... Just bought it.It's definitely the centre of this outfit. I had a problem whether to wear it with a black bodycon skirt and a white tank top or these jeans. Thought it'd get cold so went with jeans. Notice the black bra under a white top...I love this outfit as it's casual but still sexy in a way. And the shirt is so easy to team up with loads of different things and through the year. I def think it's a bargain.


Leopard printed shirt - H&M
Tank top - H&M
Jeans - nicked them from my sister...
Shoes - Zara

Wore this outfit today for my friend's graduation party. Bought the dress last year and then realised that it's hot this year too. Of course the clothes you buy must be worn more than once but you know what I mean? Spiced it up a bit with a studded belt around the waist and teamed it with a black blazer and these Balmain-ish shoes! And the sunnies...I call them Willy Wonka glasses.But the other name could also be the Olsens glasses, haha. Love the yellow, it cheers me up!


Blazer - H&M
Dress - ONLY
Shoes - Blink
