Hey guys,

how are things? I've had a break from writing, since in all honesty, I haven't had what to write about. The weather has been crazy, including torrentual rains, above +30 celcius heat and a few thunder storms. I, for one, am sick of this weather already. I'd give my left kidney away for a chance to wear long sleeved shirts, pants and leggings. I'm not awfully comfortable with showing off skin. 

What's other, that I've been preparing for the start of my new school. I'm excited, it's the first time I've ever gone to school beyond a walking distance. Ever since pre-school, my educational hotspots have been located fairly close to me. The farthest I had to walk took me 15 minutes if I was slow. Now, it's a 30 min bus ride to the heart of Nummela city. Tomorrow I'll be picking up my new school books for the first semester, together with a pocket calculator and a lock for my school cabinet. It feels overwhelming, starting at a new school after more than four years. I didn't have the best motivation throughout high school, since I seriously had no reason to be there, but now that I actually found something I'm interested in, the following two or more years should be great. Oh, and my new books include a cooking vocabulary one, I'm pondering whether I should read it before the first day of school.

What just hit our mailbox, was the new catalog for H&M, the place all my readers must know by now. I've had no inspiration on the clothing side of my life for a while, but now I decided to pick up my exceedingly light wallet and go browse what I could find. I saw a few things in the catalog I'd want, but none were available in the shop near us. I'm not so keen on ordering anything just now. I'm just sad I missed a great peter pan collared pale blue shirt, and an awesome jacket. Oh well, maybe next time.

I swept through the store rather quickly, since it was too hot to live inside of the building. I thought I'd get great summery, light shirts, or maybe a peplum top... But no. Of course not. I caved in, and bought two sets of woolen sweaters. I think I've said it before, and I'll say it now, I utterly hate summer clothing-wise. One of the sweaters I bought, was on sale. Other one wasn't, but since it was just a bit over 10 euro, I didn't mind. I saw a cute pink pleather bow there too, and pondered about buying it.. Then I remembered I'm nearly bald.

Here's the first shirt I bought. It was on sale, for 7 euro. It looked pretty raggedy, since it's completely woolen and the stitching is inverted, so it seems like it had been flipped inside out. I however, love my wool, so I bought it. 

And here's a swift coordi done by using it. I really love how it has clipped sleeves and some bat wing effect on it, and its as great on its own as it is with collared shirts. Many thanks to my dad for bothering to do this with me.

Here's the second shirt, that cost 12,99 euro. I only found one remaining piece of it left, and it was in the size large. It don' matter to me though, I love my clothes loose and hanging on me. It's also got a little zipper on the back, if I want to let it hang off my shoulders some more.

And here's the coordi for the shirt. God, I actually really like this one. The cuffs fit perfectly for this shirt. Also, naked feet for all you feet fetishers out there.

Here's the shirt I picked out next. This one is from Vero Moda, since H&M didn't bear anything in this specific pale blue color. I've been itching to get my fingers on something similar. This top cost me 12,99.

And here's the last coordi of the day. I dunno if it's too blue, but I quite like it.

Alright guys, that's it for this time, see you next in my July favorites post! Stay classy y'all!

Hey, again,

Fast paced posting is what every blog reader hopes for and all blog writers dread, right? I actually wanted to talk about a certain subject with you guys, just to clear the air, and my depression-ridden heart. This subject, is friends.

I'm not a very good maker of friends. I honestly don't trust people, and I certainly am not a great friend. I wouldn't want to raise myself on a nonexistant pedestal. I've had my fair share of friends from all sexes and ethnicities, some still in my life and some not ( some plotting for my gruesome death, I'd imagine.) I've done many people wrong, I'm not going to hide it, and vice versa. I've lost some of the greatest friends I've known, by fault of me and them. One of them more recently than the others. Luckily, ( as an result of my relentless stalking and digging ) I found out that this person is doing much better now, than he was before. I, though maybe sad, am happy for you, R ( can't know if you're going to receive this message, but I trust in your stalking ways. ) I wish I could still talk with him, and be an utter nerd with him, but life has moved on. Maybe I should too.

After all, I do have friends. Great friends. Amazing friends. We've had ups and downs together for years. We've been close. I'm grateful for these people, because I know I'm not easy to deal with.  But they do it. I want to sincerely thank you guys for all, and also thank the people I've once called friends. I've had some of life's greatest moments with all of you, so thank you. 

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Hey,

This won't be a long post. You see, I have a small announcement to make.. Drum roll, please. 

I got into a school! I'm so hyped! I applied to a cooking school to become a professional chef, baker and caterer extraordinare. And I got it! I was cooking when I got a call from the said school, and they asked me whether I'd want to start as a traveling consultant, or a chef. I gave an easy answer, of course, and when she hung up, I literally burst into tears while my mom hugged me. No more vacant years of gaining weight and being unhappy! I'm going to become a chef! They're going to send me papers soon enough, so I can accept the spot and start off next month. Damnit, I'm excited. Since this post won't really have anything more into it, I'll just post a few pictures of me throughout the week.

Two of the coordi I've been abusing this week ( and the week before )

Eyebrow magique.

Me and fatso walking before her belly surgery.

That's it for today, I'm so sorry this post is lackluster in many of things, I just wanted you guys to know how happy I am. Stay classy, y'all <3.

Hey guys,

It's been a while again. I feel like I say that every time I start a new post, but it always feels like months since I've last spoken to you guys. I've had a decently rough week, mostly because my University results came in, and I had no luck this year. I was sad, of course, since I did really give it my all, but I recovered fast. I've plenty of things I want to do this year, and apply for next year. And who knows, I might still get into a vocational school this year. Keeping my spirits high.

After I got the big fat 'denied' stamp on my university dreams for this year, I did cry in my bed for a few minutes. Then I just got up, and applied for a few vocational schools that were left over. The subjects included catering and traveling, both studied from either the town next to us, or our capital. And I still got that hairdresser school in Turku. I wouldn't mind not getting anywhere either, for I've decided to apply for a bakery school next year. I'll have loads of different subjects and schools I'll be applying to, so maybe I'll get somewhere. Who knows. Since I can't put all my trust in getting to a school anymore, I sent my CV to a few companies in Turku, hopefully I'd get to move there to work instead of study. If nothing works, I'll go back to our high schools night courses to raise up my grades a bit, just to help me apply next year. 

As you see, not all is lost. And I've found a great relief in the season sales, and scavenging through clothes. I've actually a haul for you guys now, that I'm pretty much done with all this clothing store lurking. It'll be a big one, with loads of pictures. Let's get started, or I will never get this post done!

We started with Kappahl in the town near us, where I bought my probably most favorite item of this whole bunch. It was love at first sight, when I laid my eyes on the mesh crop top. You know how I feel about mesh, you do, so please understand. I must have everything that fits me and is mesh. It's also a jersey themed one. Like, c'mon, how am I supposed to pass on that.

I could've done without the text tho, but really, mesh. Okay, let's maybe move on before I quit writing this and go caress this shirt.

~

Next off, we visited Seppälä, and we were in a real hurry. I only got to eye the items in like 5 minutes, and managed to find this cute peplum top. I don't usually like peplums, mostly because I think they simply don't fit me, but after testing this one out, I decided to get it. The pictures are dark, but there's a cute big bow in the backside of the top.

~

Next we switched to the stores we had in our central town, and went to Lindex first. When we got in, the very first thing I saw on the sales racks was a pair of mint green flowy pants, and I was sold. I absolutely fell in love with the material, the way they were kind of high waisted and first and foremost of all, the color.

Then I got three pairs of panties, which I won't be showing more closely because I know you lot are perverted and I don't want to feed that behavior. You'll just have to stick to your underwear catalogs.

~

After Lindex, we went to H&M, which apparently provides me with 99,9% of all my inventory. 

So, I got a buttload of tops. Won't explain too much about them, you'll just have to be satisfied with pictures.

Only one of them was from the sales section, and it's the long college shirt. I don't mind, look at that jersey-kinda-lookalike-kinda-thing there, I like that vibe.

On top of aaaaall of these god damn tops, I thought it would be a GREAT idea to get a pair of high waisted shorts and a freaking expensive necklace ( which I love to death btw ). I was incredibly lucky as well, I found the bag I've been dying to get, but was too pricey before for me. Now it was like 70% off from the price, and I think I peed my pants a little when I saw it.

..I should probably find another store I like as much, so these hauls wouldn't be as boring.

~

Since Vero Moda was next to H&M, we decided to go there as well. I didn't buy that much from there, but I found a decent pair of pants for myself during the fall.

~

Oh god, I tried to make this as short as possible. I've bought SO MUCH STUFF, Lord help me. But, thanks for tuning in, stay classy folks, lots of love and congrats to all of you who made it into schools this fall!
