Layers, layers, layers

This outfit is actually from a couple days ago. I’ve been wearing the combat boots like crazy since I got them, they will definitely be my new fall/winter favourites. It’s getting colder in Finland so layering is important, especially when I have been suffering from a flu lately. Tomorrow I promise to come up with some fresh outfits because I’m going out again. I’m so excited about it since last week a club gig that I really wanted to go to, was sold out. This problem is eternal though: What to wear?

A knit dress, fashion meeting and lots of second hand clothes

Saturday’s pictures are finally up so here we go…

Once again it was quite a busy weekend. On Saturday I went to a fashion/style meeting organized by Tyylitaivas. I decided to wear a knit dress that I got from Sweden and it’s by a brand called Pour (more info and products can be found from here). I love it’s ripped, almost harness like look and its little leather buckle detail in the back of it (unfortunately not shown in the pics). I combined this fabulous dress with my new combat boots (which by the way I decided to keep for good) and the MC jacket. I got a bad flu going on, so layering this look with a cardigan was mandatory in order to keep warm

About 30 stylish ladies and few fashionable guys entered the Fida second hand outlet in Helsinki for some good food, drinks and lots of digging through old clothes. The second hand clothes were organized by a kilogram price and separated into 0.20, 0.50 and 1€/kg piles. The minimum amount you had to buy in order to get the discount was 10 kilograms. So I ended up bringing 10.2 kg of clothing back to home. I made some truly amazing finds such as a YSL blazer and the cutest lace gloves which I noticed to create quite a lot of jealousy among the other pile diggers. I found them first!

Mc jacket mania

Guess what the postman brought today? Well, its black, it has zippers and its made of leather. It’s my very own Mc jacket! No more borrowing from my boyfriend, this baby is all mine. I know I’m a bit late with this trend but the perfect jacket has not come across my path until now. The cool thing about it is that I got it -50% off and actually it was free due to little “winter must haves” story I wrote for the Style Agents. The jacket is made of pig nappa and it feels so wonderful and soft. Cometh rain, cometh fall, I got my Mc jacket to keep me warm!

The combat boots 2008

Last winter I made a huge deal about getting myself a pair of platform booties. This winter my obsession is combat boots; well, in fact the obsession started last year but I had to choose between platforms and combats. Girl can’t have it all at once, right? Anyway, I have been looking for the perfect pair from every single store in my town, and today I came really close to what I want. I’m still debating though, wondering if there is something better around the corner (I’m sure you all know the feeling). I’m quite content with my purchase, and I think these do look great BUT.. there is always the big but…

I would like them to be more like the Ann Dem ones, with a longer leg. I know there is one place in Helsinki which might have something like it but one can never be sure. Also the thing is, that I would like to wear the combat boots to a fashion meeting organized by Tyylitaivas on Saturday (which is the initial reason why I’m going to Helsinki). What to do? Shall I keep these or keep looking? The more I try them on, the more I grow into them…

I also got this cool studded belt a few days back. Originally it was too long but the store customizes and shortens the belts to be suitable for their new owner. What I was looking for was something Lulu from Everybody’s Ugly is wearing. However, I had no chance of going to Zara so this belt had to do. It’s not the same exact thing but I like it a lot anyway!

Soon I’m off to see Everything is Made in China, a truly great Russian indie/shoe gaze/post rock band.
