I got a heat wave burning in my heart

This morning I was so sad to say goodbye to the heat wave that had been delighting us for the past two weeks. I have to admit though, that during the hot season it’s really difficult to pull off a decent outfit because everything comfortable looks rather boring. Fashion wise I’m more of a fall/winter person anyway, so my closet is filled with color black, sweaters, cardigans, wool and other thick materials. Nothing truly suitable for crazy hot summer days like these.

Luckily, I was able to find something really light weight and decent summer wear while I was in Stockholm. So, it’s no wonder my outfit for the past three days has been this loose, sleeveless button-up dress from MTWTFSS paired with relaxed as ever cycling shorts from the same line. I fell so much in love with the shorts that I had to get a another pair in black too. Finally I have something in closet that can be worn during those extremely hot days. So, heat wave, bring it on!

Heya, I just came back from an extremely hot Morrissey gig where the This Charming Man was the opening song, hence the title. So glad they played The Smiths songs too! Soon I’m heading to the official after party with some friends. It seems that a heat wave has finally reached Finland (apparently I took the weather with me from Spain) and requires easy dressing for the evening. I chose harem pants, relaxed top and nude colored sandals which by the way, are all new acquiries from Spain and Sweden. Tomorrow I’m probably heading to the country side to say hello to some cows. Should be fun.

Last night Deerhunter was playing at Tavastia in Helsinki and I went to see it with myboyfriend, Ranna and her boyfriend. The show was really good and the singer Bradfod Cox really has a talent in stand up comedy with his strangely funny in-between comments and manoeuvres. In the end the band let audience members play the instruments while the the band was beating the hell out of the drum set. A good show indeed, I recommend checking them out!

I wanted to wear something suitable for an indie rock gig, so I went with all black and a drapy “oat meal” colored cardigan that a colleague of mine has ordered from All Saintsbut didn’t want to keep for some reason. She must be crazy because this is the most comfortable cottony thing ever! I was so glad that it fit me and it’s precisely my style, too. Hey, a new color addition to my wardrobe!




Bathroom shots are a must!

I haven’t been able to tolerate pink since kindergarten but there is something intriguing about the powder pink shades this spring. Hence, it’s no wonder I’ve been eyeing on this light pink top with petal shoulders since it hit the Selected store in early spring. I was actually waiting for it to go on discount, and as I noticed it hanging on the sale racks due to being the last piece of the collection, I just had to grab it.
Funny enough, I had ordered a very similar themed skirt from Nelly.com (with the gift card we got from the blog party) and of course had to see how these two would go together. While partying in this outfit on Saturday, I felt a bit like a fairy with all the petal action going on. Naturally, I couldn’t go out without adding a splash of masculinity into the look, so the studded cuff and short hairdo were almost de rigueur.
