AN APOLOGIZE

I am very sorry for not posting for months. Awful, I know. I've been very busy (read, lazy) and haven't really had that much time to take proper outfit photos, not to mention uploading them here. But I am still alive and I'm trying to get back at this.

A lot has happened since I last posted here! I have moved to my own apartment, I have been accepted into Helsinki Design School to study Fashion Design and I am also taking a course there about fashion journalism. I am very excited! Must get my blog in shape by then.

My first post is a lazy one, just an inspiration post. I still hope you can get inspired about these x

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?

JUST GIVE ME A REASON

Long story short, here's what I wore today: burgundy pants, a stripey shirt and a biker vest with  a big leather bag and my favourite ankle boots.

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 :)
