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?


MC jacket: JSFN
Jeans: Cheap Monday
T-shirt: Cheap Monday
Sweater: Sunday Sun
Belt: Second hand
Bag: Saddler
Boots: Kenkärepo

I guess some of you noticed that there was a problem with my images. I had exceeded the bandwidth of a free account at Photobucket. I signed for couple of new ones such as Imageshack, so let’s hope it works. If anyone knows a good image host website with unlimited bandwidth, please let me know. I’d like to keep the pictures on this site and keep them coming. 🙂

Also, something else you might have noticed is the little “FF” favicon I created in the URL field. I was getting tired of the Bloggers “B” Favicon and wanted to create one of my own. Hopefully you will like it.

It's so Unik

My blog being featured on the Frisky this month was a true surprise and an honor. Today I noticed that an interview that I gave a few weeks back to a Finnish magazine called Unik Paper was finally published. The article can be downloaded here (page 6).

The story is in Finnish but basically I’m talking about this fall’s trends such as leather, chains and black color. The piece was titled on the cover as “Dark fall fashion: Fashion Blogger’s Tips” and the actual interview as “Sweet, Dark Fashion” (both my own translations). The story came out really good, except there is a little confusion about the figures on how many people visit my blog; the amount is actually based on monthly results, not weekly, as it might let you interpret.

It is a pity that I didn’t have time to provide them with any pictures (due to a tight deadline) but I guess my blog speaks for itself. Anyway, I am really honored that my blog is titled as “one of the most interesting Finnish blogs”. Thank you Sonja for this title and the great opportunity!

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


Dress: Pour
Undershirt: Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair
Cardigan: Roberto Cavalli for H&M
MC jacket: JSFN
Bag: Saddler
Combat boots: Kenkärepo

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!
