Walking on the spider webs

Anna-Maria17 Comments
Oh man, last night was so much fun! Club Hang the DJ was packed with stylish indie people, a good Swedish band MFMB‘s performance knocked everyones socks off, and the DJ’s played such tunes all night long that you couldn’t even leave the dancefloor for one minute. I’m glad I was wearing my combat boots, otherwise my feet would have been dead from all the dancing we did.

Evening’s outfit was inspired by 90’s, think Beverly Hills 90201, My So Called Life or Reality Bites (got to watch those again btw!) style. I’ve been waiting to introduce this radest net sweater I found from my recent second hand shopping spree. I’ve been looking for something like this for ages and when my eyes targeted to this beauty, let me tell you, it was love at first sight.

P.S. The blog has a new banner! After reading a great post from Park and Cube blog, it was time for a change. Any blogger who is interested in making the blog more attractive to the readers (and who isn’t?), you should really read and learn what Shini has to say about the importance of layout. It turned my world and blog around.

It’s Friday I’m in love

This is the last part of the weekend titled blog entries for now, a trilogy of some sort. Actually the title has another meaning because I’m pretty sure they will play the Cure at this goth club tonight. Somehow I find myself going to one again, perhaps it’s the good music or the fact that no matter what you wear there, no one is judging. The goths are quite easy on the dance floor too; no one pouring beer on my designer shoes and no one pushing or acting stupid. Quite a pleasant combination, I’d say.I’m not going all out with the theme but my outfit does have it’s gothic influences, the same ones we have seen on the runway lately. I bought the leather skirt in Stockholm even though I have two of them already occupying my closet. Somehow the older ones seem so casual after finding this one, though this zipper detailed skirt was a very random purchase due to it’s heavily discounted price. This means that I’m probably getting rid of my older versions and they will either end up on Ets

y or to an e-auction of some sort. I combined the leather skirt with an oddly cut Margiela tee that my boyfriend and I share, it follows the seams of the leather skirt perfectly.

I live among the creatures of the night

You know those times when your closet just has nothing you would want to wear and everything just seems dull and outdated? It’s too early to wear those spring clothes that are waiting in your closet for the warmer days and you have lost your inspiration. I actually had a great conversation about this issue yesterday with the ever so stylish Sugar Kane, who told me she is struggling with the same problem. Call it spring depression or whatever, it’s a feeling that seems to hit us every year around this time.
In times like this I’m actually very lucky that my boyfriend and I share a very similar fashion taste, being able to raid his closet is truly a bless. Wearing my boyfriend’s harem pants and oddly cut sweater, I felt like a completely new person, discovering the world of androgyny again. It was also just the inspiration kick that I needed to start a spring cleaning in my closet, so keep your eyes open as I will probably will end up selling a lot of my stuff online.

The same pants transferred into the night’s outfit, when I later on met up with an old friend of mine and headed to the gothic club Schatten. I’m not so much into the “plastic goth” scene myself, so my look was more like 80’s/90’s goth (think Siouxie Sioux or Nina Hagen) with a fashionable update. It felt so good dancing to the good old goth/post punk tunes and when the fog filled up the dance floor, everything was just the way it was supposed to be.

City light painted girl,
In the day nothing matters,
It’s the night time that flatters”

Wrangler party

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?
