These boots are made for walking

I have completely forgotten to properly introduce the latest addition to my shoe family: the Ann Demeulemeester riding boots. They are actually a second hand find from Berlin and ever since we met, we’ve been inseparable – that’s how comfortable and well-made they are.

First I thought they wouldn’t fit me right, being size 36 and all, but they are actually perfect (and still roomy) for my size 37 feet. So if you ever get boots from Ann Dem, remember to size down half or one size.

Whilst in Berlin, I also had the pleasure of trying on the famous Rick Owens wedges and noticed that those run one size bigger as well (at least for me). Now I’m a bit doubtful about shopping for shoes online, I guess you can never be sure if they fit true to size or not… Trial and error it is then.

This black dress always makes me think of bones, so I’ve been calling it “the fish bone dress” ever since the mailman brought it to me.

Tonight should actually be a fun night, as we might go check out the great Joensuu 1685 (they’re absolutely the best Finnish band at the moment!) or meet up with friends at the local British pub. We’ll see how the night unfolds. Enjoy your weekend!

“There’s a gaping hole in the way we are
With nothing to fill it up anymore
No flesh no blood just broken bone
A frame to hang our lives from
We’re living like skeletons 

Won’t someone wake the dead in me
Won’t someone shake the dust off me
Give me water give me bread
But don’t give me up for dead
We’re living like skeletons”

Glass Candy, part 1

Lately shoulder pads have been making a somewhat of a return into my closet (perfect for my frame, can’t argue with that), and this moderately shoulder padded dress is one of the scores I made in Berlin last week (Berlin posts still to come, I promise, just need to go over like 300 photographs!). The Ann Demeulemeester boots are also something new, though second hand; I made such a steal with those in Berlin as well. Man, I love that city (I’m actually booking tickets to go back for New Years with bunch of friends). The bag and the bracelet are also from there.

My partner in crime Laura was looking great as usual and we ended up having had oh-so-fun night that I have to make two separate posts to cover all the damage, so more about Glass Candy a bit later. Toodles for now, folks!

These shoes just came all the way from Helsinki with a help of three lovely ladies. I first spotted these beauties on Stella in the Finnish Olivia magazine, and instantly texted her asking if they were as comfortable as they looked. She confirmed my suspicions, and so hunt for the shoes began.

Since my hometown Tampere had limited resources (as usual), I contacted Essi to see if she could pick up a pair of the “Missys” for me from the Vagabond store in Helsinki and bring them to my birthday party. She picked up the shoes but unfortunately got sick and couldn’t make it to my birthday, so the shoes didn’t find their way home at that time. Luckily Laura was planning on visiting Helsinki, and kindly promised to bring my babies home for me. So after a long story, here they finally are.

At this point you could ask how many black platform ankle booties does a girl need (I got three pairs now) but when shoes despite the four inch heel are feeling like the heaven is kissing your feet, you just can’t turn them down, can’t you?
