Independence day is not such a big deal for me, because I think that that's something to be grateful about year-round and not just pretend to care on one day. I do, however, enjoy the random day off :D
Today I had a bit of a Christmas party with the BFF complete with Christmas movies, home made burgers, a gift exchange, manicures and goofing around with the camera. Perfect chilled out day for recovering from a cold!
Making her first 1milliondresses appearance: Sharky aka S aka the BFF
We tested out this awesome KONAD-nail art set today. It's pretty much a slab with designs on it and a stamper. It was easy to use, just like the package said. However, it wasn't all that quick, since you had to clean the image plate after each application (not the stamper, though). The images turned out rather sharp every time and the image plate had plenty of patterns to get started with!

I went for this random line and spot design and I love it!
Tadaa! Um,yeah..we still wear matching clothes sometimes, even though are styles are quite different (much to the amusement of our friends and families). Here we're wearing fun wintery leggings from cubus (to celebrate the first SNOW this year!). S has paired them with a cute little shirt dress from god knows where and I'm wearing a top and my MONKI blazer.
It's been a busy couple of days since it's almost the end of term (essays, exams, lab reports etc.), that combined with having to constantly work on my Uni applications makes me a really bad blogger. For an instance: right now I am wearing a killer outfit (I know, I know it's like saying I caught a 50 pound fish), but I have been so swamped with work all day that when I finally plopped myself on the couch I can't, for the life of me, get up. So I guess a repeat of this is due very soon ;)
I can, however, offer you yesterday's outfit:
The inspiration: chilled out bf jeans, a big scarf. Just relaxed cool :) But with a bit of a ninja twist.
The look: Levi's bf jeans, a MONKI blazer, a rocker tee, comfy scarf and a silly little captain's hat to add to the thrown together look.
Polished off with a pair H&M booties,
My bag (which I LOVE because it looks like a vintage binocular case).
I thought that these golden-hued rings looked stunning and cool together. The apple is a gift from my one and only H and the treble clef is from Rome.
Now I'm having a smoked salmon sandwich and a hot choc for dinner :) (made by my sister, who rocks...just btw :P )
It's too warm for a proper coat, too cool for one of my thin knits. It's raining and it feels like autumn, but the leaves are still as green as ever. I'm confused. I went with a very autumn-y outfit today, since that seems to be the direction I've chosen lately...but a part of me still wants to pull on my stripey dungarees and play summer again :D Here's some more rainy day material for you lot!
Zara dress, MONKI Traizer (trench-blazer)
Thrifted earrings
Ring and nail varnish from Turkey
My FAVOURITE shoes. Worn and loved to pieces. I bought them at the flea market for a measly euro about a year ago and it might be about time to let go: the soles are tearing off (despite being glued back three times), the shoelaces are practically dead and the things you fasten them on are bent beyond recognition. But it's so hard to let go.
Do you have a pair of shoes/piece of clothing that you hold on to almost irrationally?
Thanks to everyone who's been commenting and following lately, it literally makes my day every day.
Today was chaotic (to say the least). I had every intention of wearing something devastatingly gorgeous, show up and stick it to the people who love to make life hard for me. The weather seemed to disagree. I ended up going all autumny (layers, coat,hat, wellies etc.). I was completely drenched once I walked in, so I think my great entry looked like a sad, wet mouse sneaking down the stairs and slipping on the final one. Yep, that's me.
We only had school for a few hours and all of it was homeroom, which just turned into a massive argument between the loudest folk. Though I think that I'm very capable of voicing my opinion I had no interest in getting caught up in all that drama. It got so bad people actually stormed out. Haha. Thank god I don't have to take this for much longer.
There were funny parts to the day as well, like seeing all of our epic teachers and giving them a HUGE round of applause. It was also cute/funny to see the new firsties arrive (H's little sister in tow).
It was a blast seeing my friends again and we went to mcD's to hang out and gossip about the day and giggle for a few hours before heading to town to pick up some school essentials (krhm, eyeliner...). Were back to our old trick of planning trips and events.So I can feel a good year coming on.
On one hand I'm looking forward to tomorrow because I know that my mates are there for me, but some people I'd rather not have to face again.
So sorry about the rant (but I HAD to take it out somewhere!!!!).
OOTD and other stuff:
Replay wellies, Levi's jeans (I do love my denim labels), an anchor-t layered under a basic grey knit and what I call the lovechild of a trench and a blazer (from MONKI). I totally ignored the accessories (BAD ninja), but I did manage to throw on a hat.
As I was leaving my mother had to mention that she thought that I looked like a hobo...I don't know about that but I do like a lot of hoboish clothes (there I go with the inventing of new words again...)
I got home a little peed off from today so I re-organized my shoes and bags and jewellery (some pictured)
That didn't help so I took a nap and lit some lily-scented incense afterwards. I feel a bit better now.
Looking forward to tomorrow: new day-new clothes :P, hanging out with H after school, going to IKEA during our skip-lessons with my mates and having art with one of my favourite teachers (lovely, slightly bohemian and gossipy). This week I can also look forward to seeing one of my favourite bands, Flogging Molly, play at a night-club :) An added bonus is that one of my best friends (J, who I hung out with today) is joining me for it. More about that later, though! xxx Ninja
I will be making a disappearing act right about....tomorrow. So don't get TOO worried if you don't here from me in a few days (I know I've been anally consistent, but sometimes no can do.) First I'll be going on a bit of a road-trip with the boyfriend after which we'll be celebrating midsummer (do other people do it or is it just a nordic/pagan thing?) at my family's summerhouse with an array of family friends. If all goes well I'll be back by Sunday with a few outfit pictures and whole lot of other material (unless I get lazy or frustrated in my lack of skills, of course. In which case I'll come back with nothing). To appease my gods (you) I have an older outfit picture that will hopefully make you refrain from creating tidal-waves and such (haha, like I'm that special :P). Sorry about the fact that the actual outfit is pretty much cropped out, this was the only pic where I looked relatively human.
Outfit from a birthday party a while back: Zara floaty floral dress and my favourite MONKI blazer with a bunch of bracelets and a bad hair day. Enjoy ;)
