Grey black, black grey

It seems that all I have been wearing lately is grey and black. Bright colors don’t inspire me as much as they did in the summer time; however, I’m liking it because I feel like I’m going back to my roots. My inner rock princess is dying to get out, and why not let her? So black and grey is what you get, yet again.

I decided to build my weekend’s outfits based on the black & grey crop top that I introduced a few entries ago. I attended an electronic festival called ManseDance which was organized here in Tampere and since Thursday’s gig was all ambient, a relaxed outfit was in order. I went with the crop top and my acid washed jeans.

On Saturday the crop top and black & grey theme continued. I decided to wear something a bit more partyish since DMX Crew was playing some good dance tunes. Can you imagine that this very Scandinavian looking dress had been hiding in the closet of my old room for a whole year? I guess I had worn it on some weekend when I was visiting my parents and just forgot it like that. Finding it again was a very pleasant surprise; it’s like I gained a whole new dress! This little thing is really comfortable and I feel like I could wear it with black jeans to make it less partyish if I wanted to. On Saturday I wore it as it is and when Ed DMX asked the audience to come and dance on the stage, the crop top came off (I got so hot). I literally partied my top off!

Selected

Last Wednesday my friend Laura invinted me to Selected store opening here in Tampere. The store is a Danish chain which carries both women’s and men’s clothing, and as I was impressed with these images, I thought it was worth a peek. The store is maybe one of the nicest looking stores in my city and the grand opening party was accompanied with models, good food and sparkling wine.Whenever I get a chance to dress up I usually take the bait. I thought a little black dress with a twist would be a perfect choice and decided to go with this Rodebjer dress that I got in Stockholm. The purple tights and platform laceups added more “me” into this otherwise rather girly look. Notice how I, my friend Noora and Laura totally match and it wasn’t even planned!

Can you guess who is the blogger hiding behind this very long dress?

Fall in love with fall

The past days have been great, even though it’s cold the sun has been shining and the leaves are all red, orange and yellow. The parks in this city look so beautiful, so my boyfriend and I just had to make a little photo shoot in a park that is right around the corner.Although I’m not a student anymore, this outfit is sort of my own interpretation of a back to school look. Similar white button shirt underneath a grey sweater look was spotted at the Marc Jacobs F/W08 show. I instantly fell in love with this style; it’s a bit preppy yet relaxed. My sweater is by Peter Jensen, a great London based designer and recogniseable from the cute bunny logo. I got this sweater from Stockholm in the summer but since it is a wool blend, I have been waiting for colder fall days to come. Well, what I awaited, I certainly got.

We decided to move our business from eBay to Etsy due to the difficulties that eBay brings to a seller (slow listing, fees, competition etc.). The best part is that you don’t have to bid anymore, you just have to be fast! We are listing new items every week, so make sure to visit our store very often.

You can still find the latest news from our store’s blog and Myspace (though the latter is under construction at the moment).

Happy shopping at Etsy!
