Pastel perfection

Many times you readers wonder why us bloggers show only our fellow bloggers in the pictures and never our “regular” friends. Well, the fact of the matter is that most of the time our friends are quite camera shy, and don’t want to be photographed to a public diary viewed by thousands of people every week. I totally understand and I respect their wish. Therefore, I was extremely happy when my friend Laura, who is by the way always impeccably dressed, agreed to be part of the Nikon’s “I AM” street style campaign and allowed me to take a picture of one of her amazing outfits. I’m jealous of her ability to match colors and make them look so desirable, even for a black lover like me.  I mean, just take a look.

If you like Laura’s outfit, you can vote for her look over here (sorry only in Finnish) and possibly win a Nikon Coolpix digital camera. Good luck!

I dreamt that I was dreaming, that I was awake in a dream

Happiness comes in different shapes and forms. This time it came in a very familiar gray box, despite the little delay caused by the lovely Eyjafjallajoekull’s ashes and the Finnish post office. I’m literally in seventh heaven right now: After a two years long wait they are finally mine, the Rick Owens wedge ankle boots! I just might have to sleep with them on tonight, that’s how euphoric I feel. Lots of outfit pictures to come with these bad boys, that’s a promise.

Wedge ankle boots: Rick Owens

Dark cabaret

It’s actually a tough job to make these Henry Holland tights look non-vulgar but I think I managed to pull it off with last night’s outfit. The rest of the ensemble has to be kept quite simple, otherwise it will just turn into a hot mess. I’m loving how sturdy and easy these tights are, no need to worry about carter-belt squeezing your hips or the socks rolling down; It’s all in one package, secure and tight.  I can guarantee this is not the last time you will see these guys…

Enjoy your Sunday!
