slim pickins

After my final day of term I was feeling a bit moody and stressed so H and I went out for bagels and doughnuts (what's with all this food with holes tasting so fantastic?!?) and did a bit of window shopping. I also managed to convince him to get a quick snap of my outfit, by pretending we were tourists (which would explain the lack of selection today :P).

Patterned slouchy trousers from Topshop as the piece to center around, a black knit (you've seen it about a billion times now :P), a black crocheted scarf and the denim biker jacket from H&M.

Lots of kisses once again,

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,

A piss with a view

Today I met up with a friend of mine who lives in Oxford and she introduced me and a group of friends to her boyfriend whom she brought over with her (awww, such a sweet couple. And not disgustingly couple-y in company:). We walked around town semi-aimlessly for an hour or so (stopping at subway for a bit), when suddenly she recommends that we go to "the nice toilet". I froze for a while and then exploded with laughter. It turns out that it's the toilet in a fancy-schmancy bar at top a fancy-smanchy hotel (quite aptly named the tower), and it has HUGE windows with a view of the city (yes, the loo). Apparently it's turned into quite the tourist attraction (no wonder, who else would pay 4euros for a coke...well besides us, that is). So we went up there, took some mandatory bird's eye view pictures of Helsinki (from both the loo and the bar) and had a laugh and a drink. God I miss seeing her (when I visited I swear we laughed around the clock!).

I know these huge pictures are going to fight with my graphics, but the smaller ones really didn't do the view any justice. Bare with me!

One of my friend's earrings. I want!

The mandatory loo pose. Wearing my new biker boots (thrifted), denim jacket (H&M kids, boy's section), black skinnies and a Ramones-tee.

I am finding it terribly hard to decide what to wear to the Flogging Molly- gig tomorrow! Suggestions?

Thanks for reading!

You can't touch this

I've been indoors for quite a few days studying, reading magazines and watching tv and eventually this lead to me feeling a bit under the weather. I decided that it had to come to an end so I rang up my friend for a shopping date in the city. I came back with an abundance (at least for my usual standards) of lovely sales items for some pampering and beautifying. And venting to someone really helps with the frustration. Just what I needed!

This morning I opted for my floral H&M jumpsuit and a denim jacket. As I got dressed I feel I was possessed by MC Hammer. All I wanted to do was that silly little dance, so here's to one of our greatest fashion icons. Mr. Hammer!

Floral jumpsuit from H&M and denim jacket from H&M kids (boys section!)

combined with some *cough cough* wicked dance moves.

My mini-statement piece of the day: an Alchemy England ear-chain with the words "coeur noir" inscribed on the cuff

And dinsko strappy heels.



Sometimes when you're having a not so pulled-together day, it's good to have a bit of a giggle at yourself :)

It's only rock and roll (BUT I LIKE IT)

 I haven't done anything worthwhile today (besides watching Australia's Next Top Model...does that count?).

Here's a speedy outfit update:

Denim jacket- H&M, Thrifted flannel shirt, The Clash shirt also thirfted, Mini skirt-H&M, boots-MONKI

proclaiming my love for The Clash

My new shoes from MONKI that already make a quick appearance in a previous post (70% off!) 

Now I'm off to do some grocery shopping (I'm cooking for my boyfriend later...hope I don't cock it up :P).

I also got a little package for him from ASOS that just arrived...I love surprising people! :D
