Oh god yes,

my BOY LONDON clothes arrived today! I'm beyond happy and content. Got the post notification this morning, and I thought it would be the guitar we bought my dad for his 50th birthday, but then the notification was from Germany and under my name. I'm home alone, as y'all know, and we haven't left our puppy alone yet, so I thought that what the hell, it has to be done someday. The post office has moved closer to us, so the trip only takes me 5 minutes. I swiftly visited and went back home to unwrap my package.

And here we are! You can't really see the beanie, but oh well, I'll post pictures later. And all this for measly 120 euros! I loooove this brand, too bad Finnish summer doesn't really support sweatshirts and pullovers in general. 

I've been browsing some clothing sites, and thought about listing the best here, so I can find them later on and you ( if you like any of the things I wear ) might want to try buying stuff from them too.

First off, I visited Dolls kill online shop that sells their own items as well as items from other clothing lines. I bet many of you know this place, I've seen it pop up in some other blogs from time to time. What I love about this site is that when you find an item, you can check which clothing line sells it, and then later on check their online store in order to find similar clothes. Most of the sites I found were from here, since I like this kind of alternative fashion. Be warned that a lot of these pieces aren't cheap, considering you need to pay postal as well. But if you like investing instead of buying a lot with low costs, this place is just for you.

Another site I found via Dolls kill, was Wildfox couture. Their clothes are of a pastel-y color schemes and really feminine. What mostly caught my eye here, were the cute prints on shirts and leggings. I'm thinking of ordering from here, since my wardrobe is utterly pitch black at this point, with a few white exceptions. I really like girly fashion, like frilly skirts and soft colors, pastel and that shit.. I've just never thought it'd fit me. Now that I'm more confident about myself, I thought about combining my own dark style with some of these pastel wonders, in order to look a little more... Like a woman. 

Third site, with a more grungy, goth and rock-spirited clothes, is Berserk alternative fashion. They specialize in said clothing styles, as well as pinup and, well anything you'd hope for. There's even some pastel pieces there. 

Last, but not least, is JapanLA, which I just found, but I guess lots of people know about it. I never was into fashion before a short while ago, no judging. You can find all things cute here, toys, clothes, beauty products, art... You name it, they have it. What brought me to this site was their Hello Kitty creepers, and I stayed for super cute fashion. I love pastel pullovers and they even had Star wars leggings. 

I need to get a little more money in order to get some of these things, but it shouldn't be a problem! Now I'm going to and eat some of the delicious freaking buns that I made. Stay classy!

Hey to y'all,

I've had a small pause from blogging, since my life has been dull an uninteresting. It's mostly taking my dog out, browsing the internet and casual chilling. My dad went to Africa, since its the eve of his 50th birthday and he didn't want to spend it in Finland, and I'm stuck here with my mom. Since my pup is so young, I don't dare to go abroad myself just yet, but hopefully I'll be traveling next summer. I just haven't thought of a place to go yet..

 My last trip was a total disaster in hindsight. I went to London with my best friend for a week, it was both of our first trip with no adults with us. The week went swimmingly, we mostly shopped for clothes and spent our days watching EXO videos from her laptop and getting food from the nearby supermarket and Marks and Spencer's. I lost my appetite like halfaway the week, and on the second last day of our trip, I couldn't even stand up without vomiting and passing out. Apparently, my blood sugar monitor had been broken, and my levels had been through the roof the whole trip. They then called the ambulance, I got taken to the hospital and was there over night, since I supposedly was in mortal danger. On the morning of our departure day, they still hadn't let me go from the hospital, and I was cry-panicking.. Eventually they did let me go, and we made it to our flight, though I still hate Heathrow airports departure tablet for not showing out gate number in time. I actually had to ask people. It was horrible. Met a cute korean guy while waiting though, and got to laugh at his accent when he ordered stuff from Starbucks. Such a lovely trip though. I've got to say, that the hospital staff was overly nice to me, and everybody seemed to know me. I was a celebrity there, hahah. And I wasn't scared for my own life, not even once. I don't think I'll die that easily. 

God I miss my hair. I know I'm totally sexy, but I sent this selca
for my mom. 

Best find I got from Forever 21. My most favorite shirt of
all time. Jurassic park has been my fav movie for years.

Cupcakes we bought from Topshop, first one is Oreo-flavored
and second one is lemon. Food was really cheap there.

Right after I got admitted to the hospital-selca. Was not happy.
P.S I colored my hair in our hotel room hahaha red is such a foolproof
color for white bathrooms.

Ah, I just had to reminiscence with old pictures.. Either way, even if I had such a horrible experience last time, I really want to travel again. I usually love flying, if you count out the bumps and creaks of the airplane. Just got to think of a place to go, since my father wants to tag along as always. He was thinking of America, but I'm not totally sure what I think about that. I'd want to go to Asia, but only if I'm alone or with friends. Just that this time I'll be sure to bring a second blood sugar monitor with me.

I know this post has like no point at all. I just felt like telling my experience from my last travel. It's like a horror story for all you people who are sick and a reminder to be happy that you're normal, to people who aren't sick. Things are a loooot easier when you don't have to drag a box full of medicine with you every time you travel. Well, I'm off to the grocery store, need to feed the family of two today! Stay classy bitches and broes!

I'm back, netizens!

And I've had a pretty eventless day. My sleeping cycle is totally fucked up, even more so since I got around downloading Star Wars: The Old Republic which I've been meaning to do. I've heard so many good things about this MMORPG that, well, I thought about giving it a shot. I've only played World of Warcraft and Aion: The Tower of Eternity as far as MMORPGs go, so I wasn't expecting much in the game side of things. I was expecting the same template and same questing devices etc, since Aion and WoW are pretty similar when it comes to in-game playing. I was really surprised to find, that SWTOR has a different kind of a way to accept quests. It's kind of a storyline, where the questgiver starts telling you about the quest you're about to accept, and you get to choose from multiple answers to different questions! I've never personally used this kind of a thing in MMORPGs, but I sure do love it over the normal kind of quest accepting. I usually just skip reading the text and see where to go from the map, but SWTOR cancels it out and you have to actually pay attention on what your mission is. And I'm loving it. They even keep it nicely compact so that you won't get bored out of your mind. You can also act according to the faction you chose ( Jedi's are the goodies and Siths the baddies, ofc ) or just go nuts with choosing answers. I, myself, made a Sith warrior, a lightsaber/melee combat class, and I made her a total asshole, being a cunt to everybody and picking fights... And then I made a Sith Inquisitor, a caster type, and I made her more understanding and persuasive, rather than just a person who takes everything by Force ( get the pun? hahahah I'm so lame ).

Here's some in game footage. The upper one is before I completed my download fully, and it's the Jedi starting grounds, and me in the flying taxi. I prefer the green forest the Jedi starting place offers to the dead desert redness that Sith starting place has, but damn, Sith are more interesting. And fit my flow more. In the picture below, I'm playing my Sith Warrior level 9, DARTH KIRIELL. Super coooooool. You can also see her not-so-loyal companion, Vette next to her. She is the embodiment of sass, and I freaking love her. I wish I could play her race, I've loved it since I watched Star Wars and one of the Jedi council was of her race ( if I remember correctly, don't shoot me ). 

This game has occupied most of my time, plus taking my very lovely doggy out in the wintery Finnish fields, so that she won't shred everything in our house apart. Oh, before I forget, here's a work in progress. I've been meaning to make a new tattoo to get when I turn 20, and I've got my sights set on a dragon design. I'm narcissistically fond of my own dragon designs, not really into the Chinese ones. It's a plain Western dragon, but with feathers'n'shit. This is not a ready design yet, but hopefully I'll get around finishing it!

Anyway, I'm off to bed, keep yourselves classy ladies and gents!

Good day y'all,

it's balls-dropping cold outside. I don't plan on moving from between my covers today, unless I have to.. As a human being, I enjoy summer more, but as a dog owning human being I enjoy winter more. It's more pleasant to walk when you know that you don't have to wash your muddy dog after.

But I've got an small announcement! Remember the "Wishlist for 2014"? Well, I got items checked from it! Just today, I ordered BOY LONDON sweatshirt and beanie! I'm so freaking stoked! I wish they would arrive already, but according the email I got, it'll take 10-14 business days outside of the UK, so I've got to wait..

Here we go, respective pictures of the things that I ordered, with GD proudly wearing my upcoming beanie in the picture below. They cost 98 pounds all together, with shipping fee etc. I caaaan't waaaiiiit.Time, go by faster.

I also managed to get picture frames for my SHINee posters. It was a freaking PAIN to do, since I couldn't find frames big enough. Still haven't got ones for my EXO K- Wolf posters and it'll probably take me buttload of time to do. I took a picture of the SHINee posters, with my dads iPad, so the quality is beyond terrible.

There we go. Terrible picture. But Hesus Christ LOOK AT THOSE UNIFORMS. There's nothing sexier than kpoppers wearing army outfits and peaked caps my loooord, my lord. Ehm, yes, sorry about that fangirl moment.  But hey, you cant resist Onew with a fake bridge piercing and a peaked cap. You just can't.

Well, that's all I have to vent about today. It's too cold to give a flying fudge and I need to go get more socks on. You people keep yo selves classy.

Yo,

I've been meaning to do a christmas haul post and I finally I got around doing it. My christmas was the usual, we wake up early in the morning to carry the tree inside and then proceed to decorate it. I'm in charge of the ornaments and my dad takes care of the lights and the tree top star. After that we eat our xmas porridge and get dressed in order to take candles to the graves of our relatives, or at least that was our tradition up until this year. As I mentioned earlier, our family has a new baby in the house, so instead of our usual graveyard trip, I went for a long walk in the fields with her. Sadly our christmas wasn't exactly white so we ended up soaking wet. After arriving home, I cooked our traditional meal, and opening presents followed after. Be warned, this post'll be picture heavy, so forgive me.

I had to include two pictures since I got a buttload of stuff. These picture include stuff I got from my family, my friends and myself. In the top part of the picture, most of the things are from my other best friend and her mother. Her mother gave me the Japanese Galpo-chocolates seen on the left and the lavalamp-like small usb-connected glitterlamp on the right. My friend then got me a bunch of hair/body produce, as in 

A tropical mango shower gel from Born to Bio

A little bottle of Achillea conditioner for hair

A little bottle ofRice proteins and oligoelements shampoo

and

A small sample bottle of Schwarzkopfs BC Bonacure hairtherapy Oil miracle.

You can see them in front of the black and white toiletry bag. Right next to them is a iPhone case my friend got me, in HelloKitty design. I totally love all of these, and the case is currently on my phone. It's so adorably cute. But the biggest and most loveliest thing my BFF got me is the

Killstar Go to Hell sweatshirt ( you can find it here ). 

I took a better picture of it, as seen below

It's absolutely gorgeous, look at it! I love Killstar fashion, it's so edgy. I've been dreaming of getting my own sweatshirt, and now that I have it, I'm literally stoked. Goes well with my own fashion sense too.
I still got one thing from my other best friend, which is the black faux leather bag seen on the second picture on the left corner ( she also got me a bag of organic chocolate covered nuts and a phone pocket but I ate the candies and forgot to take a picture of the pocket :D ). I adore this bag from heaven to earth, it fits me so well.

Look addit. Oh god its perf. It has small skull buttons all over the front, and fringes and its black leather, what more can I ask for. I've been abuse-using it with everything I wear, and I ain't ashamed of it. I'm not exactly sure where it's from, I think it's Pieces of Accessorize. Either way, love love love it.

Well, I think that should cover what I got from my friends. Next up, family. My father promised to order me the full set of Mortal Instruments books in English and pre-order the one that's releasing in May, and so he did. Sadly they have yet to arrive, but I am a patient woman ( no I am not ). He then also got me this freaking huge sock thing that heats up electrically and fits in both of my feet. It's totally awesome and good for me, since I have like no blood circulation in my feet at all ( thank you diabetes you are surely loved ). I use it every night when in bed, so I wont get cramps and whatnot. Dad's bad at buying stuff for me, he usually saves the best for my birthdays, but these things he got me made me happy.

Most of this haul is from my mom. You can see a vague mat of white and pink in the right corner of the first picture, right? It's a fuzzy bathrobe! I tend to lose these or well.. Destroy them by coloring my hair wearing them, and now that those days are over she got me a new one!

Bad pictures are bad.

Theeere it is. In all its fuzziness and glory. I really like it, it keeps me warm, even as we speak. I just had to include a better picture, since I couldn't fit all the stuff in two of the pictures above.
Then there's the obvious hair straightener in front of the second picture. I had to get one of these, since I had been living on a small travel sized one that heated up all around the iron and I couldn't even hold it up.. I occasionally used my best friends iron that's like top quality but eventually she took it back and I had to figure what to do. Then my dearest mother bought me this Remington Sleek&Curl straightener that can be used as a curler as well! It's amazing, it doesn't really hurt my hair at all, it eliminates frizz AND it does beautiful curls. What I expect from a curler is that it heats up to 230 degrees and has round edges, so that you can curl with it too. This straightener surely delivered! And if that wasn't all, she got me a gift set of Biotherm Skincare products and a Loverdose Tattoo by Diesel fragrance giftset.

Here you can see that the Loverdose tattoo set had a perfume bottle, a shower cream and a lotion in it. It's a pretty heavy perfume, containing floral scents as well as liquorice in it. At first I was suspicious since I really hate the scent of liquorice in, well, anything, but it's not THAT overpowering. I came to love this scent eventually and now I use it all the time. In the Biotherm box there was a deep moisturizing cream, a facewash and a toner, which I always need. They really do cleanse the skin perfectly, I've used Biotherm before and it takes care of all the spots ( best wishes, a girl who never had any zits, even as a teenager ). I warmly recommend it to all my readers!

  

That's all I got from my parents. They got me a heap of stuff, and I only always get them like 1 or 2 things.. I saved up some money for the after Christmas sales in order to get me some necessities, which were the dressing gown ( from Lindex ) that's in the front of the first picture, a black and white toiletry bag (Lindex again ) that's behind the hair products my friend gave me, and a black and gold makeup bag ( from Seppälä ). Together these three cost me 31 euro, so they weren't that expensive.

Closer look to the dressing gown.

That's pretty much all I got for my Christmas, and it's a real haul. I thought about doing this earlier, but this was the earliest I could come over to my tabletop computer ( it contains all my pictures ). I'm happy about everything I got, and really grateful for getting so many things this year, even if I feel like I haven't been nice at all, heh.

Oh, it's past 12 PM again, and I have to be up in like five hours.. God, this blogging really gets me carried away. I hope you enjoyed my Christmas haul, have a nice day/night/evening/whatever everybody!

Hello world,

I managed to steal my dads iPad, so forgive me if there's retarded mistakes and spelling errors. This device was not made for blogging. I know there's an app for this but God help me, I can't download it due to this piece of trash being password protected. Oh well, hopefully I'll be able to get a tablet before my 20th birthday. I'm supposed to get a laptop too, since I'll hopefully be attending Helsinki University department of modern languages. Gonna need that lappy for coursework.

Speaking of school, I've been wondering, why is it that a growing part of adolescents think that education and learning in general is somehow bad? I mean I understand that not all are cut out to read books and that sort, but I know a huge amount of people who are ready to quit after they're done with middle school. I, for one, had no specific relationship with school throughout the time before high school. I barely studied and still my grade average was 8.6/10. Then, when I decided on high school instead of vocational school, things went downhill due to my health changing and school work taking its toll. All in all, high school was a terrible time for me. The only thing I gained were some amazing people in my life. Even if I faced high school with hatred, I never thought about stopping there or switching to vocational school.

My biggest dream has been to study my way into the top University of our country, and getting my masters degree in English translation and linguistics. I wanted to see the world, get a great job with an international translation company and focus my work on books. Then, a year back, I though; "Why stop there?" And so I decided, that once I'm accepted into an university, I'll head to South-Korea and Seoul University in order to start studying Korean linguistics as well. Asia has been close to my heart a long time, and I thought about combining my passions together.

I'm not the one to dream of a family and kids and I realized this a while back. When in a relationship, I tend to try too hard unconciously to become a housewife, and I never had any idea I was doing it. That being said, I ended up smothering my long term boyfriends and then breaking up with them because I felt I wasn't getting enough attention. It is only now that I realize it was my own fault for trying to be something I'm not. Even if I do want a loving, wholesome relationship one day, I am much more driven by achieving things in the career side of my life. I guess I'm a bit self-centered that way.

Well said, Mister Mandela.

Okay, rant over, I'm sorry but I thought about opening up about this. It's my blog after all. Either way, I'm writing this from the depths of my bed at 0.12 AM. This new found eagerness for blogging has downright killed my sleeping cycle. I'm thinking about playing some Darksiders II, now that I'm still awake. That game is soooo addicting. Thank you for reading, keep yourself classy!

Yo to all of you,

and sorry for the innovative blogpost naming. I was never good at such.. But today, we're gonna kick it off with my wishlist for year 2014! I do realize a few of these items are waaaay out of my price range and will probably make an appearance in the next years wishlist as well. No judging, kids. 

Number 1 on our list is Vivienne Westwoods fragrance Boudoir that has a slight floral, spicy feel to it. Its one of the oldest fragrances by Vivienne and I totally love it, even the typical Vivienne bottle design. The fragrance is a tad sweet, in my opinion, and it can be slightly overpowering at first. Once it has been on the skin for a hour or so, it becomes milder and not so.. tangy I'd say. My friend is a huge Vivienne fan, and she introduced me to the brand. I found this particular fragrance in a store in Helsinki a while back and tried it for size.. I'm a big fan of floral sweet scents so this was pretty high on my list. The 30ml price is 49 euro on Vivienne's official website and even if the price is a bit high for me to buy a 30ml scent right now, I probably will be able to afford it later on!

Number 2 is a thing I won't probably afford in a loong long time, sigh. These are my top second shoes, Jeffrey Campbells Antonio - suede heels. I've been dreaming of these shoes for a long while, even if I'm not into suede that much, these shoes are just too perfect to lay mockery about. These are also the reason why I'm such a big fan of black and gold this year. They kind of remind me of pirate boots.. They are 226.15 euro in Solestruck webshop so you probably see why they are really far out of my budget.. Maybe someday, eh?

Number 3 is my top first favorite pair of shoes, Jeremy Scotts Adidas Wings. I absolutely adore these shoes in every color, even if the white/black ones are my absolute favorite. Sadly I couldn't find any of this color, but there were several of different colors on eBay. All of them, even when used, are around 200 euro, cheapest. My friend found a pair of these in color black from a store we visited when we were in London for a week last summer. They were around 240 euro. They were also the second last pair, so getting these from a store would be too difficult. Even though they are expensive as fudge, I'd gladly save up the money for them, since they are comfortable and also very well known!

Number 4  and Number 5 as well, are from a well known brand in the fashion world, Boy London. Again I have to thank my best friend for getting me into this stuff, since I knew the brand by looks only and now I know how to acquire it! The beanie is a must, and since all merchandise from Boy London is high quality, it should fit my large head as well. At least my friends did.. Another one is the leggings, that come in three different colors that I've seen . I prefer the white on black ones, since they kind of remind me of the sweatshirts. The beanie is 42.20 euro on Boy Londons website 
and the leggings are 48.20 euro. There's loads of these clothes that I'd like to buy, like the sweatshirt, skirt, snapback and shirts, but the beanie and leggings are items that I need on daily basis so they're first on the line.


I hope you liked my very badly made collage of a wishlist! There's a heap of things I'd still want and this is just the creme on the top of the muffin.. But these are the most important things I'm craving for. Hope you enjoyed reading!

Evening y'all,

today has been more than long enough imo. I tend to wake up around 5:30 AM every day, since we have a 3 month old puppy in the house. Our old dog died more than 5 months ago if I recall correctly, but I couldn't bear being alone in a big house during the days, so we used up the insurance money we got from the euthanasia of our old dog and got a new one. Our old one was a breed called Bernese mountain dog, a big and sturdy breed that has a heart big as a mountain. Unfortunately she had lymphoma that had developed too far and putting her down was the kindest thing to do. She was also our third bernese, so we decided that NO.MORE.BERNESES.

That's the beginning of my relationship with my Siberian Samoyed, Arttulan Leidi Latte "Hilla". Hilla is the Finnish equivalent word for "Cloudberry" which fits her perfectly, considering she looks like a fluffy cloud herself.

Her being just a baby, she requires a heap of attention ofc, and my parents have to work... So I wake up every morning at the said time to keep her company ( lest I want her to destroy the whole house ). Today wasn't any different, so I woke up and fed her. She usually goes back to sleep after my mother leaves for work so it's nothing special. She has loads of energy so most of my day consisted of playing with her.

Either way, I've been waiting for a few deliveries. I got some money as a Christmas present, so I decided to order SHINee's new album "Everybody" as a present from me to myself. (Oh, that reminds me, I should do a Christmas haul thingy-collage once I have the time for it..). Anyway, I did also order some clothes from H&M when the after-Christmas sales hit the webstores. Both of the packages arrived a few days ago! Sadly, I only had time to collect them since I was going to eat out with my mom. 

Album from Kpoptown

God, the album was good. I had problems with liking SHINee in the past but I guess I'm becoming a full fledged shawol. I feel the need to buy all their albums, but you know.. money. I've already got "Misconceptions of you" and I gotta say, their quality is solid. I'M JUST MISSING MY FREAKING MINHO PHOTOCARD. I've heard there's this curse that everybody gets Minho cards, even from other groups albums.. But apparently I won't get one no matter how I pray for it. Either way I'm glad I got a Taemin card from Misconceptions of you, and a Jonghyun caricature card from this one.. Taemin's my favorite, along with Minho...

Best songs from the album:

No. 1 = Everybody

No. 2  =  Destination

No. 3 = Colorful

The album all in all gets 4/5 stars from me

My haul from H&M webstore

And then there's the haul from H&M. Not much of a haul, but for me more than two items is like my birthday all over again. I've been into black'n'white for a long while now, possibly because my retard of a bromance-partner has a very similar taste as I, so she keeps feeding my addiction ( so to speak ). Also, the word of the month is faux leather and gold studs. Loyal to my cause, I got a faux leather / gold studded pair of ballerinas, since thats mostly what I wear throughout the summer.. Ballerinas are so comfy, when you can kick them on and match them with various items. Also, they were like 7 euros now, and they would probably be around 19 e when summer months begin.. It's like, investing, y'know ? A legit good reason to buy stuff. 

Also, I've been inspired by the groups like "Bangtan Boys" to get myself a fishnet shirt. I mean it totally fits my black and white- theme, you can keep tops and college shirts beneath it AND I like the kickass text as well. I don't know, my style varies between swag boi and a pretty girl, but I'm so used to the swag part of it that it's hard to go back into being a girly girl.. Maybe summer will allow me to transform again. 

The top is a must, since I like layering shirts. Tops with the cut like this go well with regular tight fitted tops beneath. Since the picture above is crappy instagram quality, I took the time to take better quality pictures with my trusty camera.

Top, 7 e

fishnet shirt - 12 e

faux leather and gold stud ballerinas - 12 e

That's all of 'em. I'm so in love with the fishnet shirt, gosh.. And all of this cost me around 37 euros, postal included. I'm pretty stoked! I guess I shouldn't drag this post any longer, I'll just give you some complimentary "outfit of the day" pics in the end. Thank you for reading!

                                                  One of a kind - GD merch sweatshirt - Kpoptown

White top - Seppälä

Leggings - H&M

Beanie - Vero Moda

Making the first post in a blog is always the hardest I guess. I just thought I'd share my interests and everyday life with y'all. I don't know how interesting it might be, but hey, I'll try my best. I had a blog before, but maintaining it was such a hassle, trying to post every week even if stuff didn't happen. So, in advance, I'll apologize if I have long brakes between posts and you won't hear from me. I'll try to be as active as I can, but I won't make any promises.

You probably noticed I'm typing in English. Unfortunately it isn't my native language so forgive me if I make mistakes. I AM studying English linguistics but making errors is what make us human. Feel free to point out grammatical mistakes and I'll be sure to correct them (:

And a bit about the background of this blog; I am going to write about clothes, skincare, music and my life in general. You've been warned.
