Wrangler party

Anna-Maria17 Comments
Last night I travelled to Helsinki to attend a party for Wrangler jeans. I and some other Finnish bloggers were invited to an evening with American party treats and free pair of jeans. Even though the jeans need some customizing (they were not tapered enough for my taste), it was worth the trip to see all these lovely ladies and talk about blogging and fashion.

My outfit for the evening was inspired by Rick Owens’ creations, as I found this very Rick Owens like wool vest by Pour from the Jus store in Stockholm. I’ve worn it almost every day this week, that’s how comfortable and warm it is. I combined it with my new pleather pants, a loose shirt borrowed from my boyfriend, OTK boots (with the fringes tucked in to achieve the RO elephant boot look) and added my mom’s old bronze cross to top the look.




Special thanks to Honey Junkie for the last pic!

Meetings with other bloggers continue as tomorrow I’m meeting this stylish fashionista and music digger over a cup of coffee and perhaps a party later on. I must admit that I’m a bit nervous, what on earth should I wear?

Back from Stockholm

Hi folks, I’m back from Stockholm! It was a great trip although the weather was not on our side and it kept raining for two days. Therefore there is no picture overload from the trip, sorry! Taking pictures when your hair looks like a wet rat is not providing the best material for the blog, say what you say.
I ended up making pretty good finds, although it was heart breaking to see almost everything I purchased last time with a -75% tag. I will introduce my findings in later posts but here is a sneak peek of my amazing new spring coat. If you are wondering why I look a bit coneish, it’s because my over 6 foot tall little brother took the picture on a slanted hill. Since it was his debut as a “blogographer” and he was kind enough to capture me for the sake of my blog, I will forgive him. 😉 Thanks baby bro for the picture, it turned out pretty good!

Here are some random shots from the trendy Slussen area. It’s not hard to guess which is my favorite store and which is my boyfriend’s.


P.S. There are now 48 people (in public) following my blog through Blogger and this is my 98th post. When the public followers hit the 50 mark or I will have my 100th post, which ever happens first, I was thinking about doing a video post. That is if I don’t get chickened out by then. Anyway, something fun is coming up, so stay tuned…

Latex love

Anna-Maria32 Comments
Last night I attended my brother’s and his girlfriend Minna‘s housewarming party in their lovely new apartment and later on hit the local rock club in the city. The night was a success all and all, thanks to Minna’s amazing skill of making the most delicious and eye-catching cocktail treats (something I have never been able to master) and all the crazy dancing we did. It was also fun catching up with friends I haven’t seen in awhile.

I decided to wear something less revealing as the temperature outside hit about -10 Celsius and there was some walking in question. My trusted wrinkled button-up shirt with the sewn-in scarf was the perfect choice, proving its versatility and usefulness once again. The latex leggings are a purchase from a few days ago at Spirit Store, the buyer of the store had brought them as samples from London. They are definitely a rare piece as they only had four pairs of these in total. It appears like the latex finish is cracking, giving it that sort of painted punk look. I googled the brand name “Progress” but it didn’t bring any results. Does anyone know more about this UK brand and if they have a web store of some sort? I’m assuming it’s a very small designer since the leggings are still made in the UK. Works for me!

In the snow

The coldness of the winter here in the North has made it impossible to take decent outfit pictures, but today I decided to make a little sacrifice by going out to shoot in the snow while it was still light outside. I constructed today’s outfit solely on these ripped Lee jeans that my boyfriend got for me a few Xmases ago and which I recently “re-found” from my closet. I honestly don’t understand how I’ve been letting these jeans collect dust for such a long time because I’m totally in love with them again! Perhaps I was avoiding the lowish waistline but with longer tops they work just fine and look very Kate Moss indeed.
Later on when I hit the town, I made a cape out of my sweater jacket and added combat boots to finalize the look that would keep me warm. With the layering of the two t-shirts, the black sheer shirt doesn’t look as revealing but it still keeps its see-through nature visible to the eye.
