Checkmate!

I have this bad habit of leaving all my “in need of sewing” type of projects laying around the apartment for ages, until I actually manage to do something about them. Same story goes for this checkered skirt I bought from Ranna last winter, and I can’t belive why I’ve had this beauty hanging in my closet for this long, when all it needed was a little bit of taking in. The skirt gives a nice touch to simple outfits, creating an eye catching detail into the mix. A true new-found gem in the closet!

Yesterday this skirt came to it’s own at a friend’s housewarming party, where my boyfriend and I headed with the stylish Laura from Drop the Phone and her boyfriend. I love meeting couples who share the same exact interests as my boyfriend and I; while Laura and I talked all night about blogging and what not, the boys found a common ground with music and fashion. How convenient!

P.S. I try to update as often as I can but I have such a busy month ahead of me, that regular blogging might be a bit difficult during the next weeks. Next weekend there is an electronic music festival, the week after that my Barbie themed b-day party, then another music festival and then there is the Halloween party we are organizing (for the latter I’ve ordered supplies all the way from the U.S.). So, hang tight!

My new boyfriend (jeans)

Guess what the postman brought me on Tuesday? Yup, the famous Levi’s 501 boyfriend jeans. I almost couldn’t believe my luck when I read that I had won these from the stylish Stella’s blog competition awhile back, and now they are actually mine (alongside with Cat Power’s latest, yay!).

Wearing Levi’s 501s again after so many years is certainly a trip down the memory lane; these used to be pretty much my uniform in elementary school and throughout junior high school as well. They are so comfy and relaxed; it feels very liberating to wear something like this after a long period of skinny jeans. It’s no wonder I’ve been wearing this every single day since I got them, even last night when we went out dancing.

Levi’s 501 boyfriend jeans – you have officially earned your way into my daily wardrobe!

Having a few weeks off of blogging due to a horrendous cold, has been kind of a booster for me to get this blog back on the road again. I’ve actually started a photography course in order to provide you with better outfit shots, and have plans of paying the damn upgrade fee of Imageshack, so the pictures will load a bit faster. The things I do for this blog and for you guys…It’s all for the best, I’m sure.

This blackalicious (or business goth, as Ranna put it) outfit is from Saturday, when we celebrated my boyfriend’s b-day over some Mexican food and visited the Design on Tampere’s design market. In the evening there was an actual b-day party itself, but unfortunately it was too dark (and too much fun) to take any outfit pictures of my dress. A perfectly valid reason to wear the same outfit again sometime, haha.

This is our decision, to live fast or die young, we got the vision, now let’s have some fun!

As promised, here are some more pictures from the past weekend. These are all from Saturday’s craziness, I can’t recall the last time when I’ve had such a random and fun night in this city. We ended up seeing the New Wine and the Finnish electro legend Op:l Bastards at MOP, who also hung out with us at the backstage for a bit. In the end it was just our gang invading the space, eating their leftover sandwhiches and sodas. We also ended up to the strangest after party with DJ decks and spin the bottle (don’t ask me how and what went on after that).

I wore my newest purchase, the Rick Owens DRKSHDW tunic dress which is so comfortable and well tailored that I literally want to live in it from now on. Essi was looking fabulous as always, and we just had to take some mutual shots to show how we almost have the same profile! She really feels like the little sister that I never had, that’s how similar we are in so many ways.
