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.

Dressed in black

A few weeks ago the Finnish Elle approached me, and asked if my boyfriendand I could participate in a piece about couples sharing a similar style. Along with two other couples, we said yes, and finally today the magazine hit the stores. As for the photos, we had to choose a party and an everyday outfit for the photo shoot, plus pick one of our favorite items.The whole situation was actually quite funny because we had both decided our outfits separately without consolidating each other, yet we ended up in very similar gear. I guess when you have been together with someone for such a long time, intentionally or unintentionally, you start to resemble each other, more or less.

Birthday competition winner!

My blog’s birthday competition is finally over, and it’s time to announce the winner. First I want to thank you all for the wonderful answers, all of you have such a good eye for fashion! Most of you would pair the bracelet with something simple and something black which would be my choice as well.

And now for the randomly picked winner (using random.org) of the competition….drum roll please…..The winner is the Anonymous commenter who commented on Agust 8th at 1:43AM. Congrats, I will email you shortly!

For those of you who didn’t win, you can buy your own Perla Stockholm pea chain bracelet from Funky Marie’s Design shop (just choose English as the language if you don’t know Swedish). Check out her other items too, for example this silver bracelet and this chunky ring are so amazing!

Enjoy your Monday lovelies!

Going with the Flow

I’m back from Flow festival but so dead beat that my sleep deprived body is saying I should switch off my computer, and get some sleep instead of blogging. Even so, I want to share some pictures from Saturday.

 
Immediately after getting inside the festival area, I saw a familiar face smiling at me, and recognized it to be the ever-so-stylish Essi from the Fashion Overdose. I asked her to join us and soon we really hit it off, talking about music, fashion, Berlin, and of course, blogging. Doesn’t she look so cute?

 
My own outfit for the evening was compiled by taking the weather changes into consideration, and adding some Robert Smith into the mix. The brand new white Docs actually served me extremely well during the evening, though my calves were hurting just a wee a bit this morning (nothing untolerable, for those of you who were asking). I’d give them a few more walks, and they should be just fine.

As for the bands, we ended up seeing Vivian Girls, White Lies, Grace Jones, Juan McLean and my personal favorite of them all, Handsome Furs. I don’t think I’ve ever seen as energetic show as this stylish Canadian couple put together at Flow. I completely fell in love with Alexei’s fringey knit dress, anyone know who it’s by?

I also met up with the absolutely fabulous Stella before the festival, and enjoyed some drinks and good company at her place pre-Flow. We also had some business taken care of but more about that later. Now I need to go to sleep…
