Nailed it!

I might have created a slight obsession with rings… I’m saying slight because I don’t want to admit myself that purchasing two rings within a month, might have gone a bit out of hand. But when an opportunity like this comes by, you have to act fast. With the help of the handsome half of our household, I got this custom made silver nail ring in the post about a week ago and it hasn’t left my right index finger since. It’s raw yet simple look appeals to me, definitely love at first sight. Mixed with the rest of my ring crew, this one is a perfect match.

Ninja warrior

Hello it’s me, yours truly, the urban ninja warrior! Jokes aside, this ensemble is actually from Saturday’s live music night where I was wearing a currently purchased vest/top with a pair of harem pants that haven’t been formally introduced here, though they have been hanging on my clothing rack since the turn of the year. I’m loving the pleats and the silhouette that the top and the pants create, it’s almost as if they were one. This combo is so relaxed that I’m definitely going to sport it as daywear as soon as the temperature allows me to do so which right now, seems to be light years away.

Fair and square

This week the Tampere Film Festival took over the town and we were partaking the evening actitivies during the weekend. Friday night offered an interesting documentary about the birth of the rave culture and for me it was such a nostalgia trip being a teenager and living it large when the rave scene hit Finland. After the movie we danced to all the 90’s acid tunes that the techno pioneers of the past were offering us at the after party.

To celebrate the event, I dug out a pair of shoes that I haven’t worn since junior high school, circa 1997. I remember how badly I wanted these square toed motorcycle boots and how mature they made me feel when I finally got them. I knew that the time of the square toed look would come again, and was rather amused when Rad Hourani‘s version was introduced last year. I have yet to decide what’s my relationship with this familiar look, I like it but at the same time I’m a bit sensitive to jump into it completely. All I know is that with this outfit, these old bad boys actually work.
