PARTY SHOES ON

 

Heels, 55€, Ellos.

                                                                Heels, 55€, Ellos.


Ordered these beauties from Ellos...I know I really couldn't afford all this shoes shopping, but I am anyway paying their bill every month so a few euros more can't kill me. And, as they say, life's short, buy the shoes!
I am not much of a party goer, but I am trying to wear more heels this summer - even though downtown Helsinki is not the best place to wear them! I used to wear super high heels in high school, and that was doable because all I had to do was to sit around all day, so my legs didn't die during the day. Now that I am working at a clothing shop and have to stand and run around all day, wearing heels is not the comfiest option. The only heels I've managed to wear have been Jeffrey Campbell's Lita's - even after 8 hours of walking your feet are not sore, just a bit tired at worst. Now that I am having my internship at R/H I can probably wear more heels as I also do stuff that don't require as much standing and walking around, more like big
brains and fast thinking! At least on office days!

Can't wait to try these on and not to mention, can't wait to WEAR THEM! Oh, Spring, hurry up!

ORDERED JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING...OR A LITTLE MORE

One of my New Year's goals is to buy less clothes. Notice, this is not a promise, nor a resolution, it's a goal! That way I want to work towards it without disappointing myself with breaking a promise. Last night I still decided I wanted to buy stuff online once more before seriously trying to cut it down. My thought was that I'd be allowed to buy JUST ONE piece of clothing per month. That way I really need to think what I want and need the most.

All of this was from H&M, and the order includes both necessary stuff, like thights and a white T-shirt, but also something I just terribly want.

 

Just a basic V-neck tee, so that I can manage the whole year without getting a new one.

These babies I love! After all, winter IS really coming to Finland and I think these might be perfect no matter how much snow and ice Jack Frost decides to coat the streets with.

Been hunting for the perfect platform sneakers for a while now. I think these are neutral enough, and the platform is not too obvious. Basic colour, basic looks, and yet so cool.

I have fallen in love with strappy tops. I already have a few, and I think this might be a nice add to my collection. It's sophisticated but still fun, and I love the black and white, graphic style.

Then some bling bling rings! Let's see if these are small enough for my baby fingers.

I love these big hats, and already have a black one and a burgundy one, so a grey one is an obvious next move.

I think this is really cool. It would match perfectly with R/H's Lucky Eye Pendant! Check it out here.

NEW BUYS

 

All H&M.

Been wanting the hat and the sunnies for a long time now and wow, they were on sale this time so I had to buy them now! I think these three could go well together as well.  I think I'll wear the top with scruffy denim shorts, black ankle/ biker boots, these round sunglasses and a fringed bag. The hat goes well with some more dramatic looks and simple outfits like dresses and ankle boots and stuff.

Mi Lajki headband

So the Nelly package arrived today. Quite fast I'd say! All of the stuff looks exactly like they seemed in the photos online.

Here's what the headband looks like!

Had a great day at work today, the best so far. Got to do the stuff I REALLY want to do!  Felt energetic even though I've caught a cold somehow :( So I am feeling pretty crap right now. I was supposed to have the rest of the week off, but I took extra shifts (I don't know why, especially now that I am feeling ill). I also have my Finnish matriculation exam on Friday, as I wanted to re-do it ( trying to get an L). Well, maybe I should study for that exam instead of sitting here.

A GREAT NEW FINNISH FASHION MAGAZINE

COSTUME. The first ever FINNISH fashion magazine that really deserves to be called a fashion mag. It's filled with interesting and fresh articles and there are loads of ideas and tips to try. I love it so much I'm considering ordering it so that  I'd get that fresh new mag straight into my mailbox every month. So, all my Finnish readers, buy it and enjoy.












 (Norway and Denmark also have their own Costume, for those who are interested.)
