Girly Girl

Hello lovelies! How are you today? ♥ I've been having quite a busy week with new course at school and other things as well. I'm so excited and happy that it starts to slowly feel like spring. But I'll have pretty winter-like pictures to share for a while still - because Finland. Today I really wanted to share this look I wore to office a little while back. It's not the most typical look for me, but I really wanted to do something a bit more spring vibed.

I Miss Snow

Hey lovelies! How are you doing today? ♥ I had the best weekend with the guys, playing hockey and other games and just chilling out. I always love spending time with them because I forget everything including my phone when I'm with the boys. They're such an entertaining bunch, and even though I'm the only girl there, they don't let that bother them in any way (meaning no special treatment, which is cool). I didn't even take photos even though we were supposed to, because I totally lost the concept of photographing due all the fun we had. Bad blogging, but the best unwinding. 

Today, however, I wanted to share an outfit with you. This one is something I wore few days back, when there still were quite a bit of snow out there. Now, not too much, but I think I'll get nice shots of outfits for the blog as I have so many ideas for looks. And, if you want to see more of my musings, head to Daily Opulence blog where I wrote a post a couple of weeks ago. (Click here to read my post!) I'll also have a little something to share with you relating to that post, so stay tuned with the sidebar for a little surprise. But yeah, let's get to today's post:

Winter outfit

Winter Gear

Hey lovelies! How are you? ♥ This has taken way too long because everything that has been up lately, but I finally have this year's first outfit post for you. Today, I'll show you how I have been bundling up these crazy cold days we've had here in Finland quite a bit lately. In other words, see how my true winter gear looks like!

Blogmas Day 21, All Black Everything

Hello lovelies! How are you today? ♥ I'm currently having my second to last wrok day before Christmas, which feels very nice since I know I'll have a long weekend ahead of me. Sleeping in, I'm waiting for you! Of course there's still a couple of posts to go before that, but then I can take a small breather from blogging before starting with NYE posts. I will have 4 or 5 of those for you next week, but now, let's get to this outfit post, shall we?

Hello lovelies!

How are you all today? ♥

We were just having a nice dinner with my grandmother and her sister, and it was extra nice since I didn't have to cook or anything. And more than that, it was pretty lovely to see relatives I don't get to see too often as the schedule is crazy in my life right now. Tomorrow, we're going to see a gig with the guys and I get the chance to dress up in ripped jeans and black all I want since it is Amaranthe (a great metal band from Sweden). I hope I get to capture the look somewhere, as well as the nails, which I will overdo if possible. Any event to dress up for is a great one. 

Today, I'm showing a more wearable outfit from not too long ago. This is something I wear kinda often when I just want a simple and comfortable look.

Coat: Rukka Sweatshirt: Gina Tricot Camo pants: secondhand Boots: Skobox Bag: Mango Scarf: Cubus Necklace: Gina Tricot Rings: Nelly.com, Born Pretty Store

Very comfy, very simple look. This is the kind of clothing that makes me feel secure, and as it is winter, this is pretty warm as well. Though it will work in spring or fall when you switch the coat to a leather jacket. I'm so grateful when I get to wear lighter things again, as I have lots of ideas for warmer weather. And when the days get longer we will have more chances to take pictures even with the school and work. 

What do you guys think about the look here? And what is your "secure" outfit like? Share your thoughts in the comments below! 

Now, I'm for once trying to go early to bed (so I can wake up early as well, maybe), and hoping it might be a start for a better sleeping schedule. I have a lot of things to do tomorrow, so it would be more fun for me to get an early start for that. Also, stay tuned for the second part of the V-day manicure posts, as it will be up tomorrow!

Have a fantastic day, dolls ♥

Burgundy Leather ♥

Hello lovelies!

How are you all? ♥

I've had a fun start to my weekend with my fiance, and have got the relaxation I desperately needed after stressing out a lot about things in school and all. Now everything feels little bit clearer and doable, so my confidence is back where it should be. The project we have in school is getting more and more interesting every week, and I feel pretty blessed I get to be in it. 

Today, I wanted to share this little outfit I wore about a week ago. I loved the items in it, but was a little bummed I had to wear a coat over it while taking the pics.

Pants: H&M Boots: Skobox Coat: Rukka Denim shirt: Lee Cooper Tee: second hand Scarf: Cubus Rings: H&M Necklace: H&M

So there you go, a casual look I wore to school and later on weekend when the pics were taken. I really liked wearing this, the pants are unbelievably comfortable and I liked the denim shirt with it. I should have taken pictures without the thick coat, but it seriously was cold so I thought I'd better stay warm and avoid getting sick. I really wish for warmer days with more daylight time, as it makes all the difference for blogging.

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

Now, I'm gonna get some sleep so that I can get some of the next week's homework done tomorrow after a good night's rest. I should read a book about marketing and whip up an essay about it before Friday night, so I better get going with it right away. Seriously I have no idea how I'm going to manage all my essays this spring. It will take a lot of planning together with all my other life.

Tomorrow I do try to post you another little thing, if my schedule doesn't get too crazy. But talk to you soon whether it's tomorrow or on Monday!

Have a great weekend ♥ 

Red With Gray ♥

Heya everyone!

How are you all today? ♥

I'm typing on an ungodly hour (2:20am to be exact) since we had a little independent fire escape practice again at the building, and I find sleeping a bit tough after that. Oh well, at least it gives me a reason to blog. I noticed I have yet another wintery outfit to share with you, and this one also has some snow in the background. Not that we'd have that anymore, it's all practically gone. I hope that means spring, I have so many ideas for the warmer weather and ice-free sidewalks.

Anyhow, to the outfit:

A red-gray look with casual elements, and me rediscovering one of my favorite shirts.

Coat: Rukka/Intersport Hat: Tokmanni Scarf: secondhand Necklace: Gina Tricot Jeans: secondhand Boots: eBay Rings: JC, Gina Tricot, H&M

This was one of my favorite looks to wear this winter - yes, I consider winter being over already as the snow is mostly gone - and I can't wait to get to the full spring looks. There still will be some transition outfits for sure as the weather is still kinda cold, but hopefully I can already switch to lighter jackets/coats and maybe even wear skirts. ;)

But, let me know what you guys think about this look!

Now, I gotta go try and get some sleep before morning, when we gotta get up early and run some errands the the city. But I'll be back as soon as I can with more posts!

Have a fabulous day ♥

Baby It's Cold Outside ♥

Heya chicas!

How are you all today? ♥

Who else is excited about the Olympic hockey? I am, as the Finnish team will be fighting for medals - only they need to find out whether they'll be in the bronze game or gold game by playing against team Sweden the coming afternoon. I'm so happy I get to watch the game before work that I actually planned on baking a big pile of cupcakes for it. (And they make a nice present for the relatives we're going to visit on Saturday!)

But however, today I wanted to share a winter outfit with you. This is from the very cold days, but I can admit wearing this kind of outfits kinda lot lately, even though the weather isn't that cold anymore. So, without further ado, my winter's go-to kind of look:

Coat: Rukka/Intersport Knit: Cubus Jeans: secondhand Shoes: SpiritStore Necklace: Boohoo Bag: Boohoo Beanie: DIY

So this is the way I usually dress in winter time, when it's cold. Pretty simple, but accessorized so that it has somewhat it's own twist. I absolutely love the oxblood jeans I bought from another blogger, they're so comfy and cool and I've been nearly living in them. (That is, when I'm not living in my sports pants, haha.) What else could I say... Oh, I tried to match my boots to my furry hood there, can you see?

So, that's all for today, I try to get a nail art post and a baking post up for you this week, at least - hopefully even more - but we'll see what I can come up with. ;)

I still wanna know what you guys think about this look, so please tell me on the comments! ♥

Now, I gotta go catch some sleep to be up early enough to make the food for the hockey game. See you soon!

Have a fabulous day ♥

New Winter Coat ♥

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had an amazing weekend ♥

We sure had with the boys, we ate well, drank a little and watched sports a lot. Like every time, we had so much fun - I can't remember when I've laughed as much as I did this weekend.

Also, like mentioned, my parents were visiting us earlier this week and my mom was wonderful enough to get me a new winter coat for the colder weather ahead. I absolutely fell in love with this one, and it's so warm, too!

Long enough to nearly reach my knees, thick enough to wear no matter how cold it gets.

Pockets for important stuff, secured enough even for downhill skiing.

Extended inner sleeves that keep the cold wind outside.

Very cute outer pockets.

Trusted brand, known for good outdoor clothing.

And of course, some cute fur to finish off the cute look.

So, bring it on, winter, hit me with your best shot! I have an awesome coat to stand through the rain, the snow, the cold and the dark. ♥

Are there others out there with new winter gear? And, what did you get?

I'm off now, to catch up with my weekly TV series, paint my nails and get some hot chocolate.

Have a lovely day ♥

Blog ya later,

xoxo
