H&M jacket, Aviator shoes from dinsko, sparkly tee from Istanbul, jeggings and a knitted headband.

Ninja over and out. (sending you all sorts of love)

Keepin' my head cool

and, well, warm too...

While sales shopping today I found two irresistible head-accessories. And for the combined price of 8e it didn't even stretch my budget! 

So I found (or actually H found) me a bowler hat and a cute little wintery headband

H said that I look like a winter-hippie...I'll take that :D!

only 3 more days of school!

Christmas came early!

Yesterday my bf gave me my pressie: a voucher for a dinner and a fleamarket shopping trip courtesy of him. He knows me SO well :P And today when we were shopping he got it into his head to further treat me, and bought me the most amazing aviator jacket! ahhh...

Just look at it!!!

So here's a shout-out to the boy who really makes my life magical, year round!

Summary of my day: school, choir,noodles, driver's ed (that I almost fell asleep in). So much to do and so little time, but thank god this is our last full week before the hols.

Here's a peek at my outfit consisted mainly of my shopping from yesterday. Also, I do apologize for my hair, it curls when it rains.

Thrifted faux fur jacket, jeggings, blazer from yesterday and a basic top.

I accessorized with this gorgeous briefcase and my new flats (for a better image see the previous post, they're lush)

Much love from a tired Ninja!

The time of my life

Yesterday I treated my bf to a stay at a lovely spa hotel for their annual Christmas party. We got relaxing spa treatments (aka we both fell asleep), we lounged around in the vip lounge in our bathrobes (and downed the can of ice tea), had a lovely three course meal (which I was meant to photograph, but totally forgot, because I was SO hungry), drinks at another lounge and then a bit of dancing at the club. This morning we woke up to a humongous breakfast buffet and lounged around a bit more in our ocean-view room :)  I honestly think that this is the best gift I ever got anybody!
Tomorrow I get to go fleamarketting with the bestest best bud of them all: Sharky! :)

The first and only picture we got of the both of us and it turned out magnificent!

My outfit: A floaty Vero Moda midi-dress, a fur vest from H&M and chunky heels from  Bianco

The bar and lounge


The morning after:

Chipper as ever. Wearing a thrifted knit and boots, Levi's jeans and the same vest.

It sucks that it's over, but I'm so happy it happened :D  Makes for good memories of how silly and sweet we were when we were young. I just love how much we just enjoyed each others' company and just chatted away all night...that is until I fell asleep on his lap watching "weird or what". Ahhh, amore!

Lots of loving thoughts to you as well!

The night before

H and I went to a really funky, trendy Mexican fusion restaurant (called Shaghai Cowboy). It had huge windows looking out to the street and a really cool interior with long benches and a "messy" loo with a razor blade seat. I love the jazzy music and the sense of humour of the restaurant and the food was fantastic! We had some delicious home made tortilla chips with salsa and guacomole (both fantastic!) for starters and chocolate and coca cola glazed ribs with cornbread and cabbage slaw (my fave!) for mains :) I can't begin to explain how wonderful it was and not too pricey:P
Perfect date after a long day of making sandwiches!
We're really starting to get into this whole eating out business, so the next place we wanna try out is a local TIKI-bar :)

I decided to put my new jumpsuit to good use last night. I thought that it was funky enough to suit the occasion (I did, however stick out like a sore thumb among all the grey-clad Finnish people...not that it's a bad thing!).  I threw on a string of (incredibly plastic) pearls to add a bit of glamour.

I love the winged sleeves!

This really has nothing to do with the text, but I loved the shadow :)

GOTCHA!

I've been after this STUNNING green H&M jumpsuit since last summer, but I never got around to buying it (I'm always rather broke). Today I spotted this baby in the sales rack at only 5euros. Needless to say it lives in my closet now. H invited me to his uncle's Christmas party next month so I think that this beautiful thing with my black high heels would certainly be a conversation piece as well as a super comfy alternative to a dress :) Eeeek, excited! ;D Oh, and I absolutely love the look in the picture (the bag is perfection!)

got my mind up in the stars

I have recently fallen in love with a print I used to consider a little silly and chidish: stars! (duh, it's in the title).
From Dolce and Gabbana on the runway to high street brands like H&M and Zara it seems to be taking on the world and also enchanting some of my favourite style stars (pun very much intended, but not so potent). I fell in love how it combines cute, chic, cool and playful for a pretty unique look (e.g. hearts= a little TOO cute).
Take a look and decide for yourself!

Stars: do or don't?

This perfect outfit is where the obsession began for me :) I managed to locate a very similar shirt in Zara but at 40e I'm still a little hesitant to get one :P

D&G jacket. I love stars and fur (well, fake fur). SO this looks like perfection!

I love the more relaxed look of this shirt

Asos :)

The ones who seem to have started the whole commotion: D&G fall collection.

I was surprised to notice that this gentler colour combo appealed to me just as much as it's more radical cousin the B&W. 

I love this sort of Americana, surf-girl type of look on her

This combination just made me die and go to heaven!

and of course the queen of cool, the lovely and ever so stylish Mossy! Here in Chanel.

If you're a bit too shy to go all out start with cute accessories like these shoes from Aldo or this Armani Exchange scarf (which would look STUNNING as a headscarf...hint hint):

What's your verdict?

As it is I'll dream of you tonight

What and extraordinarily ordinary day. Besides waking up next to the man I love, I did nothing too amazing or memorable today. Just school and chilling with the family.
Tomorrow, however, is the day I have been waiting for two years now: I get the rest of my braces out.Ahhh, I can't even imagine how it will feel to leave this unfortunate episode of my life behind me. No more torn and ripped lips and cheeks, no more painful tightening and no more ickyness from all the food stuck in them. Mmmm...

Dress from VILA, H&M denim Jacket from the fleamarket, Chucks (AGAIN!)

Bag from Istanbul

Little leather belt, elephant pendant and pink nailpolish (Wet and Wild)

Coin earrings from the outskirts of the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul.

It's cooling down again and honestly I can't wait. It's so exciting to think that soon I'll get to wear all those lovely knits and coats and scarves I dream of :)

One of my favourite songs from my favourite (and H's too) band :)

Sending smiles your way,

I'm a parachute

Such a good day! Nothing made it particularly special, really. Just all around good :) Had the usual McD's hang out session with my best mates (drop the judgement: it's right next to our school and we usually just have the diet coke in order to have a nice place to hang out). This time turned out to be hysterical, just like the lesson following it :P
After school we had some pizza and a bit of healthy gossip. Such a stress-buster!
I was feeling very acrobatic again, so my "photoshoot" turned into just a bunch of silliness with my sister. Below are the only presentable shots of like 50. Shame, because I'm really digging my clothes today :P (good thing I'm not a model!)

Fleamarket blouse, pieces-jeggings and scarf from Turkey. Basic school day look :)

Hyper monkey...

Brogues from H&M

Lots and lots of love!

Only half the day

A quick post of the outfit I wore to school. Hopefully I'll be back later with my outfit from the concert. No pictures from there though, because I don't think that cameras are allowed in (and I would be afraid to take my nice camera anyways...).

Shorts-Zara, top- H&M (via my bff), knit- H&M, scarf -accessorize (I think...), belt- mum's old, brogues- flea market

Mirror pendant (barely visible)- thrifted, nailpolish- wet and wild
