Glam-iators let loose

A kaftan-y tunic-y type of thing (with shorts under!)

Some sort of gladiator sandals, only one euro from the (need I say?) fleamarket.

One of my favourite bags

And some jewellery from Tanzania: 

Don't you love it when you see and old friend and you pick up right were you left things? Well that's the story of my day! We went shopping but just ended up walking in circles and chatting for HOURS. It's great to know that even though I might not see her all the time, she's still here for me.

Despite the distractions, I did happen to find quite a nice necklace for 3,60 euros (-70% !!!) and a hair-repair treatment thingy (which I'll tell more about later once I figure it out). 

Today's my last day dogsitting the puppy...and as icky as it is sometimes I think I'll actually miss it!

I have great plans on what to wear tomorrow, I just hope I still like it in the morning (I'm prone to mood-swings) :)

Lots of love,

Irinja

It was a beautiful day

Today I had a park date with my boyfriend, followed by a trip to IKEA for hot-dogs and ice-cream! I decided to practice what I preach and wear a striped knit from H&M (trying to channel Audrey Hepburn here).

Knit originally from H&M, but since I bought it at the flea market it only cost me 2euros, shorts also from the flea market, blue ballerinas with crocheted details H&M (about 13euros) and classic aviator sunnies (my absolute favourites!)

A closer look at today's bag. A gorgeous vintage piece (late 60's- early 70's I'd say) that I saved from the thrift store. It still needs a bit of fixing up (I need to sew a new flap on top), but I couldn't help seeing the potential in it.

I'll keep this one short and sweet, thanks for reading.

Saturdays are for partying

Since this is my first post I figured I should probably make some sort of introduction. So, my name is Irinja, but everyone just calls me Ninja. I love working out, shopping, walking my dogs, travelling and writing...among MANY other things. One of my favourite things to do is to shop at my local fleamarket, which leads me to the most exciting finds ever, like my gorgeous FAUX-fur coat, which I got for only five euros!
I'm not very original in my blog concept, since fashion blogs nowadays are like fish in the sea. Just like everyone else I'll be giving you a glimpse into my day-to-day styles, fashion faves and whatever else I might come up with.

To the actual point of this post... A friend of mine is turning 18 today, so a celebration is in order! Just a small girl's night, which is exactly what I need after this intense spring of balancing school and work. Hopefully it'll be as fun as I expect and I'll meet some cool people.
And obviously a party isn't really a party if you can't strut your stuff in an incredible outfit! After tons of careful consideration (picking an outfit's never too easy), I decided to go with this very simple but (hopefully!) chic ensemble:

A fitted T-shirt dress from the fleamarket (50 cents!!!), a basic gray blazer  from H&M (25euros, if I remember correctly) and a pair of buckled booties from H&M (30euros) 

I fell in love with the scooped back of the dress! (sorry about the crappy picture)

As a vintage-y finishing touch, I'm planning on wearing my gran's old handbag, Nateva design. Damn, she had it going on in the sixties!!!

Thanks for reading! xxx

UPDATE: That was one hell of a party. Met heaps of new people (just like I wished) and had some pretty random conversations (about dual flush loos). On a fashion note, I decided my outfit needed a bit of colour so I opted for a bright red lip stain to top things off. Three separate people (strangers) complimented me on how foreign I looked. I also kept hearing that I looked somewhat french. 

Anyways, good night and may many happy saturdays come your way!
