I did promise a double post,

didn't I? This wont be such a long one, just introducing what I've been wearing, since I came to a fashion halt lately. I've completely ran out of ideas. I mean, there's loads of inspiration on different sites, but most of them are too revealing for me. I sound so conservative, but I hate bare skin. Or not hate, but I only like it in moderate amounts. For me, it's not okay to use skirts that, in length, don't even reach your knee. And if you show leg skin, you must hide your arms, and vice versa. I mean, I don't judge what other people wear, please, go ahead, use anything. But when it comes to me, I'm not okay with that much bare skin out in the open. I might use no pants when home or short shorts and a top whilst in our backyard, but publicly it's a different thing. I'd might use that type of clothing if it'd fit me more, but I feel overly exposed. Either way,  back to the picture spam inc.

Here's the first one. I love how plain but soft it looks. Both shirts are from H&M btw. I've always wanted to use a co-ord like this, but my woolen shirts were always lackluster in something. Even here, what bothers me, is that the sleeves are so long, that you can't see the detail of the chiffon shirt's cuffs under it. I tried wrapping them up, but they became too puff for my tastes. Below is the full outfit that I used.

I didn't wear much jewelry, mostly because my mom kept hurrying me. We were heading for my grandma's birthday, and I was running late due to taking a longer walk than expected with my doggy. On to the next co-ord!

~

 This is actually my favorite one at this very moment. There's a chiffon shirt underneath the jacket, put you can't really see any details on it. The jacket was from H&M, shirt from Seppälä and the necklace is from H&M as well. You can't really tell which mainstream clothing store is my favorite, right? I paired this with a long, shaping top underneath ( black ) and leggings ( black as well ).

And here's the complete look. Note the 'I hate my life' expression and effed up curls in my hair.

~

Last but not least, is the co-ord that is similar to the first one, except that I replaced the woolen shirt with my boy london sweater. 

It has a little more attitude than the first one, but it's kind of plain as well. Needed a necklace to emphasis the collar. It's a bit of a warm co-ord for these weathers, since you need to layer it quite a lot, especially if you're not slim as I am, or as self-conscious about your crotch area as I am. I never get the mythical camel-toe, but I don't like the aspect of getting one either. If you aren't super skinny and/or have a camel toe phobia, I'd suggest layering it with a black long top underneath the chiffon. Rules out the possibilities of a disaster. 

~

I promised y'all a shorter post, didn't I? I'm just going to attach a small selca in the end, even if you got a few during this post as well. As always, stay classy!

A few clothing co-ordinations, just for you

I'm so great with titles, I should write a book. Either way, this is a small update featuring a few clothing co-ords I've done during the last couple of days. I hope you enjoy them, or find some lame inspiration from them. As always, I love you guys, keep yourselves classy, and a million thank you's for bothering to read my blog. Also, sorry about the instagram quality. If only somebody would get me a decent camera.

Hey again,

I bet you people must be exhausted and fed up with hauls.. Well guess what? I have a super-mega-ultra-haul for you today! I spent buttload of money shopping with my ma for summer, since I had a list of things that I needed. The list was relatively short, consisting only of:

a brown belt with a gold buckle

a maxi skirt

skirts

shorts

a summer dress

and that was that. We went out around 12 AM, only aiming for a couple of shops.. And we ended up being out for 2 and a half hours, and spent too much money. And by too much I mean too. freaking. much. Either way, this post will be picture heavy again, so be warned. 

~

The ones who have read my blog for some time now, know what kind of a taste in clothes I have. But, I do have a more bohemian side to myself, when it comes to summer clothing. I love soft colors and girly prints as well as textures, but I never really got anything of that sort, before now. It's limiting to own a dog with black fur, as it is to own a dog with white fur. You can choose between constant brushing of clothes or just following the current fur color with your clothing. Most of my wardrobe is black, I won't deny it, but in this haul, I have only a few items in darker colors. I kind of changed my whole look in a single shopping spree. How fun. Below is a full shot of all the things that I bought.

1. White bohemian top - 39,95 euro, Lindex

2. Black loose shorts - 24,95, Vero Moda

3. Lucy NW super slim jeans in the color medium blue/ripped - 69,95 euro, Vero Moda

4. Black floral print tube scarf - 12,95 euro, Vero Moda

5. Brown leather belt . 19,95 euro, Vero Moda

6. Three pairs of panties and a bra, all in the price of one + two sets of socks, Lindex

( Prices : 5,95 for each panty separately, bra 9,95, socks 5,95 )

7. White oversized wool cardigan - 34,95 euro originally, got 70 % off and paid 10 euro, Lindex

8. Burgundy flanel shirt - 24,95 euro, H&M

~

We started off at Lindex, where I usually just go shopping for underwear. I'm running short on those as well, since my puppy has a thing for socks and, well, panties and bra. Not going to include a better picture of them, since that's just absurd. I was super positively surprised, when I found a cardigan I immediately loved, and 70% off! I usually never find stuff here, since it's not really supplied on my demand. Then I ran into this adorable top, that has an oval neckline, a button in the back of the neck, frills and lacing.. I just had to have it. I didn't even bother to try it on, which bothered me the rest of the day before I could try it on.

Here's the top paired with the ripped skinny jeans I bought from Vero Moda. It really has this urban bohemic/indian look to it.. Missing a pair of moccasins, heh. The top is super cute, as I said. And I'm highly aware that you can see my bra through it. Get a good look boys, it'll be the most boob you'll see today *slowclap*. 

~

And here's the cardigan paired with my new belt and the outfit before this one. I loooove this cardigan, it's super warm and it actually fits with everything else I bought. 

~

After Lindex, we headed to H&M, in the hopings of a few new skirts or so. Sadly, H&M disappointed me this time, only providing me with a plead shirt I'm going to use for hot summer days as a kind of a jacket.

The print can't be seen in this lightning, since the burgundy color this piece is in, is so damn dark. 


~


After the disappointing H&M trip, we visited Vero Moda that is kind of next door from H&M. There, I got lucky several times. I got the jeans I used with my cute top, and a pair of black loose shorts, a belt I wore in the cardigan picture and a floral scarf!

I had to pair the shorts with a few old items, but I think they are pretty edgy and fitting with most of my wardrobe. I'm just not that fond of showing bare leg-skin, I think it's relatively immodest. The scarf I just fell in love with, since y'know, I love floral print'n'shit.

~

The last thing I got, that is not included in the haul picture, is a pair of jogging sneakers from Sportia for 99,00 euro. They were pretty basic, but really necessary since I don't own a pair and I needed them for doggy walks and such.

~

And that's all. I feel exhausted, my legs are cramping from all the walking, and now my fingers are cramping from all this writing and editing. Kudos to me for achieving so much today! I won't be giving you guys a selca though, since my face looks terrifying today. Love y'all, keep yerselves classy <3.

Long time no see,

I've been trying to get myself better, since my cold kept on persisting. It's nasty, but no can do. All my winters are like this. Either way, I started doing some serious working out, since I've gained a few extra pounds along the way. I'm not much into exercising or anything of the sorts, but I've really let myself go and I couldn't live with that fact. I started modestly doing some yoga and crunches, but they didn't seem to have any effect ( I don't like going out to the gyms, I hate the social part of it as well as the expenses ). Then I stumbled upon this picture in the interwebs.

   It's from a cluster of similar pictures, but the original is so small you can't see anything from it without zooming in. I started with this Hunger Games tribute workout since it's one of the less difficult workouts, and I'm really out of shape. But by gods did it work.

I started with some simple yoga and ab-crunches about an week ago, but it didn't feel like enough ( no burning, no muscular pain ) so I decided to give this a go. After first evening of doing only the first level of three sets, I was drenched in sweat and after an hour my legs were in intense pain. I thought, that finally I'll be getting results! Next day I did two sets in the morning, followed by a 40 minute walk. Then 2 sets in the day accompanied with a 1 hour walk. This morning I did the same ( 2 sets, 40 min walk ) and weighted myself. 2 kilos off! I don't know is it good progress, but it's progress. 

I'm proud of myself. I'm not ashamed to admit that I've gotten a little round on the edges, most do, but I'm glad I found my resolve and actually did something about it, instead of only whining home. Hopefully I'll be in shape by summer.

Now, to more pressing matters. My shoes and mesh-shirt arrived! The shipping was fast and painless ( though customs are a pain in the buttocks ) and the items were in top condition. I never got a good enough picture of the mesh-shirt, but I'll add crappy instagram pictures below.

There we go. I even put a picture of the ring I found from the Nelly.com sales. My favorite has to be the shoes, I'm into big buckles, but the mesh-dress combo is just amazing as well. Well worth using my money. The shoes had a few frills in the stitching, but nothing big. They aren't even slippery on ice, which is a big + in the Finnish enviroment. The mesh-dress had no frilly stitching, the material was soft and flexible, and there was nothing bad I could say about it. Ring was good quality as well, and you could even adjust it to the size of your fingers. 

I've also been tearing my wardrobe apart. I finally got around into ordering a cloth rack for myself, since the wardrobe I bought years ago sucks major balls. The baskets kept falling from the railings, you couldn't get your clothes in, and once you got them in, you couldn't get them out. Now I had enough, and ordered an adjustable rack from Germany. Only for 30 euros, shipping to your doorstep included! I ordered from this online Finnish auctionsite called Huuto.net that has about anything you could wish for. I've sorted through my clothes, given old ones away, moving the ones that I use in another room with all of my shoes and my bags, and now I'm just waiting for my dad to take it apart. The only thing I'm going to keep, is the mirror door that I'm turning into a standing mirror. It'd be a waste of money to buy a new one, when I can make one for free.

That's pretty much everything that's happened while I've been away. Forgive me for spelling errors and different text-styling, I can't reach my computer and I'm doing this via my phone. Complimentary selca in the end! Byee!

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!

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.
