Turn on the bright lights

Anna-Maria10 Comments
This weekend consisted of seeing good bands, reckless partying, taking hundreds of photos, laughter, crashing the backstage, hanging out with friends, and finally getting home on Sunday at 6AM from a crazy after party including a topless man and spin the bottle. I’ve also had the pleasure to hang out with the sweet Essi from the Fashion Overdose, as she crashed our pad during the MOP festival which overtook this city from Thursday to Saturday.
Essi and I have talked about fashion and blogging for hours and hours, luckily she didn’t get annoyed about the fact that I tend to become a chatter box when I’m passionate about something. Now my sleep deprived body needs its rest, so I’ll let Friday’s outfit pictures open a window to this busy weekend of mine. More pictures to come in the following posts, so stay tuned!

Cherry coloured funk

It’s strange how the changing of seasons can totally affect the mood and the choices of color in people’s dressing-up. For me a true sign of a fall is when I start craving for certain colors such as burgundy, green, orange and purple to my wardrobe’s muted palette. Thereby this rainy, fall-like morning was the perfect opportunity for me to dig my dear cherry red oxfords (a.k.a. Cherry Bon Bons) out of the closet, in order to spicen up this otherwise quite generic work ensemble.

Jeans: Cheap Monday
Shoes: Global Essentials
Tungsten ring: Superior Wedding Rings (thanks Chelsea!)

P.S. If you don’t know where the title of this entry is taken from, and haven’t heard of Cocteau Twins yet, I warmly recommend you to listen to this (and everything they have ever done). Such a perfect soundtrack for the end of the summer.

The last day of summer

After getting home from work today, I decided to celebrate this exceptionally warm day by changing into relaxed shorts, and enjoying a cone of pistachio and green apple flavored gelato. While eating my Italian ice cream (best thing ever!), I noticed that some red and orange color is already appearing on some of the tree tops at the local park, meaning fall is just around the corner. In a way I am excited because I love all the layering and dark colors of fall fashion, but on the other hand I’m a bit sad to say goodbye to summer and all the easiness it brought into dressing. However, since there are still ten days left of what is officially considered summer, I’m trying to enjoy this second last summer weekend at full blast. I hope you are doing the same!

Once more with a feeling

Someone was wondering why I didn’t get on Hel-Looks whilst in Flow, but actually my boyfriend and I both did. So, here is once more Saturday’s outfit, and of course my boyfriend’s, too. The whole story can be found from here. Thank you Liisa and Sampo!

P.S. I’ve been asked to do blog posts about stylish office wear, our apartment, my shoe collection, and my top 10 favorite songs/bands at the moment. I will try to get to those as soon as I can. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to drop a line or email me anytime.
