Brighten Up!

Hey everyone,

As you might've read, I've been somewhat sick this week. That has meant plenty of liquids and endless hours of Gossip Girl. But it looks like I'm getting back on the tracks soon enough :)

But how are you all? Everyone doing fine? ♥

I hope so.

Okay, I never talk about politics, but how many of you know that we have the presidential elections at the moment in Finland? It's kinda interesting as we've had our first female president here for few years now, but it's time for a man again, apparently... (And that might be a good thing, if you don't mind me saying so.) Okay, so to cut this short, the race is now down to two men, and I'm interested to see which one wins. Not going to share my political views here, but just wanted to tell you what's going on in Finland.

Now, on Friday, I'm planning to focus on some web studies, so if I'm a bit quiet with commenting, don't worry - I'll be fully back in action on Saturday, if not before. ;)

I also managed to finish a couple of DIY projects this week, and I also took some photos, so I'll be posting them to the "Made by me" section during the weekend. ♥ (And I got so inspired by everything that I have big plans for creating details to our apartment. ;)

Anyway, to the outfit. I have been trying to cheer myself up by wearing bright colours this week, and I think it has worked. I feel loads better than on Monday, and I bet next week will go amazingly well. So, here's something I wore the past two days:

Outfit of the day

Jeans: Mango
T-Shirt: GinaTricot
Bolero: DIY
Socks: H&M
Watch: my fiancé's

Okay. So I ended up posing in our messy floor right next to shoes. Not too classy. :D

But what matters is that the clothes look like they should. I'm a bit disappointed that the pictures don't do justice to my make-up, but I try to get a better photo during weekend - in the daylight instead of 11pm shoot with flash. It totally makes the difference. 

I don't know if it rings a bell, but this outfit is kind of an adaption of what Sarah Jessica Parker has worn. Who knows? (you can click here, if you don't) Probably a very used look by now, but when I saw that tee on the sales rack, the image of SJP hit me and I just had to buy it. And it's pretty darn cute, I think.

Moving on.

So, has anyone missed my manicures?

If so, you're in for a treat, because... I finally posted one! Yay!

Just something simple I made up with Mavala shade 34, Nicosia, and some ordinary crafting glitter. Oh, and I used (of course) some top coat, too. I thought this was cute, but how do you guys like it?

That's all from me now, but on Saturday, there'll be some Kreativ things ;) (in more than one ways. And also, I'll feature a weekend playlist, too!)

Till then, remember to enter the face mask giveaway going on!

Blog ya later!

  2. Love the glitter-tastic nails, Johanna! Haha and as for the photo I was first thinking... 'Someone's in the Valentine's Day mood' haha but then I saw the picture of Sarah Jessica Parker. Brava, nicely done! Totally see it.

  4. I think pink & red look great together. It was an odd combination for me at first but it has really grown on me.

    I have never been interested in politics until recently and I think it is just the fact we are all growing up and those issues start to become more significant. I'm from Canada but I have been really interested in the U.S. elections cause I know their decisions are going to make a big difference in our country (sadly).

    Anyways, feel better! Love the outfit!

  6. Hey Johanna! Oh gawsh, we're gearing up for elections here in the states (it's a year away, but candidates are campaigning). I love your outfit! The color of those jeans are awesome and your polka dot socks are super cute. Always a doll! I like the glittery tips of your nails! So much fun. Study hard! :D

  14. love your nails, and it's awesome you had your first female president, and if so happens the next one is male that's cool too- equal rights, it shouldn't be base on the sex but what they can bring to the table! :)

  20. Johanna, I really love this manicure-- It's my favorite of yours so far! The glitter is just so glamorous! And I love the pink and red color blocking in your outfit too!

    So weird that I know nothing about Finnish politics, I didn't even know about the current president..
