Spring 2019 Capsule Wardrobe

It's time to switch up my closet again. I would've done this earlier, but since even last week we've had a bit of snowstorm and -16-degree weather, I took my sweet time. These capsule wardrobe posts give me a great chance to think about my style and where I want to go with it, as well as if I have things in my closet I won't need anymore, and therefore can upcycle, recycle, give to friends or donate (and in rarer cases, sell). I like playing with my style a little and therefore will probably not have a very small closet in any time soon, but these do help me to see if there are seasonal clothes I won't really wear and therefore shouldn't invest in later on either. And hopefully, these will be an inspiration for you to think about your style and all that.

All Black Everything

You know how I love my black clothes? This look is no exception to that rule. At all. We shot this one earlier this Spring, when the nature hadn't yet woken up and gotten all green as it is now. Right now, I couldn't imagine wearing that heavy scarf or the leather jacket as it is so hot.

Baby Pink Nails

Spring time means spring nails. So, I created this simple mani you can definitely create at home as well. You only need one color polish and some water decals.

Spring In My Step

Finally. I'm actually posting an outfit here. Of course I posted kind of one about the wedding look earlier this year, but it's been forever since I did a proper outfit post with someone else taking my photos. And this feels good. It feels right. This is why I started the blog in the first place. For my love for style. Of course I blabber here about anything that inspires me but I'm most excited about fashion in general. So here you have the first outfit post of the year:

Creating Capsule Wardrobe

After decluttering my closet and really putting thought into how many clothes I really need - and what kind of items I want to own (as seen here), I wanted to take the challenge one step further. I wanted to create a capsule wardrobe, which would include the core items of the season we're currently in, so that picking out an outfit for each day would be an easier process.

The things I had as quidelines were:
- Rock chic
- Mix of totally me & office appropriate
- Red, blue, black, white and grey as main colors
- Only own clothes you love (apart from few that you need in addition)

Stripes, Leather and Pink

Hello lovelies! How are you today? ♥ I've been having such a great day today, got a little workout done, had somewhat fun in the work and have so lucky t be surrounded such amazing people in my life. The day itself has been quite usual, but the little things have made I super happy today. In this post, I'm sharing an outfit I wore a week ago, and I must say I liked it a lot.

Striped top

Cross Tights

Hello lovelies! How are you today? ♥ I've been having a nice, relaxing weekend with loads of NHL, both on TV and on videogames. Which is quite nice, even though I don't exactly a team to support in the NHL playoffs. But I still love the sport, and get quite a kick out of watching it. Because sports are life. Kind of.

Today, I wanted to share this little spring outfit with you. I wore this a little while back for running errands and such, and I really loved it.

White Fur, Brown Boots ♥

Hello lovelies!

How are you all today? ♥

I'm finally having almost stress-free weekend as things seem to be falling apart quite nicely with the school and all. I finally have hope that I will actually graduate from there and maybe even get a decent degree. Today, we have been enjoying a lovely sunny day here in Tampere, so I figured I should post a set of pics taken on another sunny day a while back. Now that I'm finding a bit more time for photographing and writing, I feel like I can actually create more fun stuff than before. 

Now, to the outfit today:

Leather jacket: H&M Faux Fur Vest: secondhand Scarf: Cubus

Boots: Boohoo Blazer: H&M Top: Bershka Jeans: Cubus Necklaces: Gina Tricot

So this is another school look of mine, of course it was a bit more chilly when I wore this (I'm hoping I won't need too much layering before autumn from now on) but I think this would be quite nice even now. Maybe bit too warm but still. I loved wearing the brown boots after such a long while, and I'm so excited to take them out again soon with dress, shorts etc.

What do you guys think about this look? Let me know in the comments below!

Now it's time for me to head to bed, but I will be coming back pretty soon as I have a ton to post to you, as well as enough time to actually write something decent enough to post. So stay tuned and if you want, you can definitely follow me all around the web via the links provided in the sidebar.

Have a fantastic weekend ♥

Florals & Blazer ♥

Hey everyone!

How are you today? ♥

I'm currently trying to get a marketing task done while also working on 3 other things. So what better time to take a minute to write a blog post? Not really, but I needed a break from the school stuff and writing felt like a good idea. I apologize for having such a long while between posts, but try to be patient with me for three weeks or so. After that, I will be focusing on my internship, which leaves my evenings and weekends free because I don't have to take any of the work home with me. So even though I will not be having a summer vacation, I will be more relaxed than at the moment.

Today, I wanted to share an outfit post from few weeks back. I was trying to create a sort of transition look from winter to spring.

Coat: secondhand Scarf: Cubus

Jeggings: secondhand Blazer: H&M Top: Bershka Boots: SpiritStore Necklace: gift from a friend

So I was for once actually dressing in sort of a girly way and not in all black or grey. (Even if there's still quite a lot of both there.) I liked wearing the floral top with the blazer, as their styles are so different that it actually creates some contrast there. I tried to make the look even more girly with the adorable necklace my friend got me a while back. And do you notice how my nails kinda match the look?

What do you guys think about this look? Let me know in the comments below! ♥

Now, I will go and finish my tasks so that I can happily go dining with my dad and boyfriend tonight. I totally need a relaxing meal to ease my mind about the school stress. That or exercise, and I think I will save the exercising for tomorrow. (If you are interested in hearing about my workout routine, let me know so I can start planning a post for that!) Anyway, I will be back pretty soon as I have my weekend wide open and actually have the time and energy to write. 

Have a fabulous day ♥

Grey ♥

Hi everyone!

How are you all? ♥

I can't believe I haven't been writing here after Friday - don't worry, I'm not going to stop blogging or anything, I've just been busy. Like today, when I had doctor's appointment, then had to re-install our TV set and then in the afternoon, I had to take our car to the tire shop to get the summer tires in. And that's just today. Such crazy schedules. I'm actually now just about to hit the road again to go to my work shift - in 15 minutes, to be exact - so I seem to have such limited time for blogging world. Which is too bad because I truly miss it.

However, the day after tomorrow is luckily a day off, so I can finally go through the Easter pics and post them here. Now, as for today, I simply wanted to show you this outfit I wore a while back, and thought it'd be a nice thing to share here. So, without further blabbering, here we go:

 photo DSC07917Large.jpg

A simple outfit with little hints of mint to it to make it not so boring. I'm once again overusing my fave bag here, which actually needs to be fixed as I broke it for the second time. Yeah, you heard me, I've already fixed it once because I wear it so, so much.

Jeans: Gina Tricot Jacket: H&M Knit: Mango Scarf: gift from dad Sneakers: Boohoo Earrings: Gina Tricot Rings: Nelly.com, H&M, Born Pretty Store

So, that kind of a look this time. I hope you liked this one, and I hope I'll have time to blog more tomorrow. But now, I must dash so I won't be late for work!

Please let me know what you think about this look in the comments below!

Have a fabulous day ♥

Spring Pastels ♥

Hey babes!

How are you all? ♥

Today I've been busy with writing some posts ready for you in case you need something to read during the weekend. Also, I need to make a checklist for tomorrow (yeah, I know, it's a bit neurotic) and choose my clothes. Not to mention I need to tidy up the place a bit so I can actually relax while we're visiting people.

Today, I wanted to come and share this little makeup look with you, I've been loving the pastel eye makeup lately a lot, so I figured I should show you the look I've been wearing lately. If you're on Instagram, you might have seen some of it before already. Also, if you'd rather see an outfit, do visit the previous post for that.

 photo DSC07769Large.jpg

So, this is it, pretty fresh, not having like a plenty of color to it and stuff, and also the lips are pretty light pink. Nothing too crazy. But I've felt this is pretty girly, so I thought some of you might enjoy this.

 photo DSC07771Large.jpg photo DSC07780Large.jpg photo DSC07781Large.jpg

These pics don't probably show it well enough, but what I had on was very light lilac in the inner corner of the lid, baby blue in the middle, and light green on the crease and outer corner (there where you'd put the dark color if you'd do more classic look). Also, I used lilac eyeliner to line my lower lash line, and liquid liner for the winged liner. As you can totally tell, I was trying to use some false lashes, but as I had very, very poor quality glue, they didn't stick as well as they shoud've. Well, you live and you learn, right?

 photo DSC07775Large.jpg

For the lips I just went for this cute baby pink lipstick, followed by some nude gloss. Nothing that exciting, but I didn't want to ruin the look by going crazy with the lips.

So, for a change, a bit of a makeup post.

Would you like to see more makeup stuff here, like review, swatches, my favorite lists, recommendations, tutorials...? Let me know, I'd like to know what you think ♥

I will go now, and try to get as many things as possible ready before work. I wanna wish you all Happy Easter, or whatever holiday you may be celebrating this weekend. There will be a couple of posts even if I'm not sitting at the computer at all this weekend, so stay tuned and check them out if you have some free time. ;)

Have a fantastic weekend, lovelies! ♥

Slashed leggings ♥

Hello lovelies!

How are you today? ♥

It's incredible how time has been flying the past few days, I was supposed to open the laptop many times and start typing, but yet I haven't. However today, as I am prepping for the Easter - planning outfits, buying some food, checking schedules - I found a little time to sit down and write a post. I also need to write one or two posts for the weekend, as I will not be reaching the computer that much. We will be visiting friends and family the whole weekend, and I don't wanna miss a thing because of technology.

What plans do you have for the Easter weekend? Do you celebrate Easter, or some other holiday right now? Let me know in the comments!

Anyway, today I wanted to share this look with you, that I built around the "slashed leggings" I bought a while ago from Born Pretty Store. 

 photo DSC07694Large-1.jpg photo DSC07763Large.jpg photo DSC07687Large.jpg

I usually don't wear leggings as pants, but with long knits, I guess it's kind of acceptable. I really, really love these leggings and can't wait to rock them more.

 photo DSC07739Large.jpg photo DSC07679Large.jpg photo DSC07755Large.jpg

Mix & match in both nails and accessories. If you want to see more pictures of these nails, see this post (click!).

Leggings: Born Pretty Store
Jacket: H&M
Tiger shirt: SammyDress
Sneakers: Boohoo
Sunglasses: Boohoo
Necklaces: Gina Tricot
Rings: JC, SpiritStore

I wanted something simple and casual, but still bring some street style to it, and that's why I added the girly jacket and rings. I guess this type of outfits will be my uniform this weekend, as we are having casual Easter instead of celebrating big. Not that we'd usually celebrate that big, it's more of a family holiday for us. This is also pretty much the way I like to dress now that the weather is getting warmer - before I get to wear shorts, skirts and dresses properly, that is.

What do you think about this look, and what are you wearing today? ♥

Now, I need to head out to get some exercise, after which I still have a ton of things to do before work. Who knew it's so serious business to get ready for holidays? Anyways, I will not entirely abandon the blog for the weekend, I will have scheduled posts for you, and I will try to reply to the comments as much as I can. You can always reach me through Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, even if I'm not writing stuff so actively, and I will probably take snapshots with my phone along the way and share them on those three platforms. So get social and follow me on those, I will usually try to return the favor.

But now, I gotta dash!

Have a fabulous day ♥

Rock Chick ♥

Hey babes!

How are you all? Did you have a great weekend? ♥

I've been enjoying the last bits of my vacation, of course I still have tomorrow, but I pretty much need tomorrow to get the house ready for the normal routine. I hope getting back to work won't mess up my sleeping rhythm that I just got in place, as I'm very happy with waking up earlyish and getting in bed at sensible hour. Though I guess regular exercise will help a lot.

Today, I really wanted to share another outfit with you. If the previous one was kinda very girly, this one certainly is more typical me. Regardless of my medium long blonde locks and way too long nails, I'm such a tomboy with my clothing. And if I get the chance, I always make the look as rock'n'roll as I possibly can.

 photo DSC07621Large.jpg

I really don't know what to say about this look, I just felt like wearing something simple and comfy and I wanted to give it some more street style vibe. So I figured adding the scarf, necklace and sunnies, the whole outfit would actually seem like it's put together.

I've been loving these sunglasses in both black and pink so, so much. I can actually promise you you'll be seeing these way too often this summer.

My fave pair ♥ They're getting all worn out, but I love them even more when they do that. I know, I'm weird like that.

 photo DSC07644Large.jpg

So yeah, that's another typical look for you guys to see. I'm so excited the weather makes the nature get all ready to spring and summer, so we can soon go around on prettier locations than this half-dead front yard (though this will be gorgeous too when the plants get alive). I have so, so many outfit plans I really want to get photographed, so I'm sure you'll enjoy reading the posts later on this spring.

But, the question remains: What do you all think about this look? And, what have you been wearing lately? ♥

Now, I gotta go catch up with couple of TV shows and get some snack before bed. It's again a serious training day tomorrow so I need my food and rest. Also, I'm still working on my closet reorganization. I know, it sounds crazy but I have a LOT of stuff in there. And I still have my pants, dresses, blazers, shoes and such to go through. It's taking me forever....

Anyway, I gotta dash now. See you soon!

Have a fantastic start for your week ♥

Chiffon Tunic ♥

Hi everyone ♥

How are you all today?

I've been trying to commit to my closet cleanup project for the past couple of days, so sitting on my laptop hasn't really been an option for me. Too bad in a way, because I've had so many blogging ideas on my mind. Well, luckily I've written them down so I can do them later on. ;)

Wanna know how my project is doing? Well, so far it's going smoothly, yesterday was mostly planning and doing laundry - a.k.a. prepping and today I went through all my tops (you know, like tees, tank tops, spaghetti straps and so on) and actually find couple of things that had to go. Also, as I'm typing, I'm trying to get some life into old white tops with bleaching them gently. I hope that'll go somewhat well. I think I might just go through my knits, hoodies and other long-sleevd items before bed, so I could start with the jeans tomorrow.

Enough rambling about my clothing problems? Alrighty.

Let's just see the outfit I have for you today:

 photo DSC07543Large.jpg

This simple spring look is something I wore two weeks ago when our parents were visiting, and I needed some cute and comfy to relax in. I really wanted a clear touch of spring into the look, so I went pretty nude with the colors and chose lighter materials.

 photo DSC07548Large.jpg

I personally really enjoyed wearing this look, maybe because it's quite a bit more feminine than the stuff I usually wear. I can't wait to wear that chiffon dress more or less on it's own, but for the time being it's a bit too cold for that. Also, I love that I can finally start living in my leather jackets again, they are seriously my go-to pieces which I couldn't go without.

What are your necessity pieces, clothing-wise? And of course, what do you think about this look? ♥

Now, I'm gonna heat up some decaf tea, check out how my bleaching is going, and of course, go continue a bit my closet reorganisation. I will try to make a bit of a post about that one too later on.

Have a fabulous day ♥

Let's be friends in IG!
