WANT

Another Nike babies I'd like to purchase on...This time I think I'm gonna wait for a while and hope they'll be available somewhere later. This shoe is Nike Air Max Thea, and I love the basic running shoe look, and the black and white colour. I think they'd be a cool combo with this backpack:

A bit of an unpredictable combo, but oh so cool! What do you think? I know I am a bit late with the sneakers and running shoes but I used to hate them and these days I'm going through a bit of a sneaker chick phase so they fit my style these days. I did order this backpack, thought that it'd be PERFECT with all of my boho-chic summer looks. The Nikes, 132€ , and backpack, 55€, Ellos.

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!

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!

SCHOOL GIRL SKIRTS PART II

So I wrote a post about trying to find the perfect school girl skirt. Been meaning to tell you that I did find one after all, and guess where - H&M! I don't have pictures about the skirt alone, but I do have a couple of outfit pictures that you may have also seen me posting on my Instagram page. I will try and photograph it alone some time.

 I wore this outfit on New Year's Eve. I was planning to change to something fancier but I had a little strappy top underneath the sweatshirt so the outfit went along to 2014 with me! So here you can see the perfect colour and length. It was the best one yet and the best one I could get!

 This one was last week. I wore the skirt with a chunky polo knit and Chelsea boots, to make it cozy and warm. I kinda like the contrast of the overly girly skirt and the oversized sweater. I like to break the rules a bit, and I know that this isn't the most flattering combo for your waist - but maybe that's exactly why I like it.

I am really happy with this buy, and can't wait to make new combos with it. I thinking of Dr. Martens, over-knee socks and a rock chic top. Stay tuned!

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.

THE NELLY PACKAGE FINALLY ARRIVED

So, after waiting for a MONTH I finally got my order from Nelly.com. Or, actually, half of it. I had ordered 3 pairs of beautiful shoes and got NONE of them. And a leopard cross tee is also missing, and the document says it's going to be delivered later. Nice. I also had  ordered a pair of simple flat ankle boots for fall, but because I got an email saying they were out of stock, I bought identical ones from Skopunkten. Now they are apparently also going to be delivered later. GRRRRR! So annoying. 

So, unfortunately, no matter how much I love the clothing and accessories nelly.com has to offer, I can't recommend buying stuff there. Of course it's worth a try, but if you're planning to get your order in time for some certain occasion, you might as well forget it. 

Anyway, now that the items are here, I might aswell introduce them. So here we go!

 

 Has anyone had experiences of the same kind?

ANGELICA BLICK FOR NLY TREND

Oh la la! My favourite blogger Angelica Blick has createed her own collection for online store nelly.com! I am very excited for her!:)

 Here are her garments! 

 

You can order them here .

 

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 :(

Clothesgasm

 I LOVE this outfit (worn by Alexa Chung)! Words can't even describe the perfection of this outfit...
I adore the cute mix of black and white star-printed blouse and loose camel cardi. Oh my God, I am so in love! This casual outfit has just inspired me for weeks. I gotta get that star-printed shirt ASAP. I'm so in love with her outfit I'm out of words! This one has the whole autumn captured for me. Basic but with a twist, cute, playful, trendy and all that. Decide for yourselves. If you ask me, she definitely did it.

BARGAINS

My fashion finds from a street market in Spain (will upload photos later in another post): A straw trilby for 6 euros and THE TOTAL BARGAIN - black brogues, last ones left, exactly my size (been looking for good brogues for about 2 years now,huh) 3 EUROS! That's some mad shit happening.

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
