You know the feeling when there's a trend that inspires you more than the rest? That's me every time something remotely rock vibed comes in fashion. So it probably comes as no surprise that I was really excited to see things along the title's vibe hitting the runways. I also love that Vogue called it Dark Arts because that's very Hogwarts of them. Unlike usually, this time I'm doing two looks for the trend. I saw too much inspiration to do just one, so you'll get two for the price of one. Dark Arts trend is the kind of punk-vibed, rock-inspired trend that is expected to be a thing at some point this season, in case the title isn't descriptive enough. 

If you didn't follow this series on Spring and Summer, this is a series where I take trends predicted on fashion week, and show you how to recreate the looks or the trends for less, with items you may already have in your closet. I'm not allowed to buy brand new items for this unless I get it from a thrift store and I can't buy for this at all unless they are things I would buy regardless. As an inspiration, I use the Vogue article here and Pantone article here. The Pantone colors can also be found in this Pinterest post if you prefer more mobile-friendly guide to colors.

Happy Monday my loves! I can't believe how many days flew by without me posting here. Sometimes it's a bit tricky to get time to sit down and write with the full time job and other commitments I have outside the blog and social media. And many times I just like to hang out with my boyfriend a simply enjoy life without sharing much to others. Today, however, I felt like posting an outfit. So that's what I did.

Today's topic is probably again a little controversial, but something that I feel needs to be talked about because I feel not enough people do. Ethical fashion and conscious shopping. Now, I can't say I'm a model student or anything as it is, and I can openly admit I still have a lot to learn, but I'm keen on making my closet more ethical as I can.

Heya lovelies!

How are you all? ♥

I'm super happy today because of many things, one of them being the fact that tomorrow (well, today as I'm typing this at night) is a holiday here in Finland and that means a day off to spend with my man. Love it. Also it means we can actually take photos during the day which is super fun.

Today, however, I really wanted to share this thrift haul. I know many bloggers don't maybe show secondhand stuff because it's not chic enough or whatever, but I love going through thrift stores, secondhand shops, flea markets and such in hopes of finding nice stuff for a great price. On the weekend, me and my girl K went thrift shopping, and we found so much good stuff I can't even believe it. Naturally, I can't show you the goodies my friend got, but you sure can see my haul below:



The shoes were new (though in sale) but all the other things are secondhand. Guess the total for all these? (I'll tell you the answer at the end of this post.)



Because my closet lacks proper basics, I was happy to find this grandpa shirt. It's soft, grey and amazing.



Yet again, a necessary basic. I've been wearing this one today, and I totally love it.



Basic top that is easy to incorporate even into rock chic looks.



Text print top. I've wanted one for long but haven't met the right one. Until now. "Love never fails". True.



Unhealthy leopard print obsession? Probably. But I just love the print.



Print I haven't tried out before: zebra. With little zebras. In pink. Need I say more?



And even more leopard print. Because I'm insane.



Overly cute scarf with pastel skull print. Had to have it. Obviously.



And last thing from thrift store: A gold and black necklace. Simple and pretty, and I can guarantee you will see this one in outfit posts.

The total before the shoes: little under 15 Euros.



We also went through many "normal" shops with new things. But when we saw Spirit Store having a final sale, we had to get in for a peek. And it was worth it, because I found these beauties for 6 Euros. Yeah, leopard print and studs. You know me.



And I also got these boots I had been eyeing for a while for about 24 Euros. Which isn't a bad price for shoes either.

So that kind of a haul this time - I totally need to get stuff away from my closet because of these but I don't really mind, because change is good, right?

Let me know what you think about my finds! Are there others out there who enjoy thrift shopping? Comment below and tell me ♥

Now, I'll go get some much needed sleep so I can at least try and look fresh tomorrow when we actually have time for outfit photos. But talk to you later!

Have a lovely day, guys!
