Hey guys!

How are you all today? ♥

As the October has begun, it really feels like Autumn here. The weather gets colder, the days are grey, and the air feels amazingly fresh. What I love about Autumn is that I can finally start layering clothes again and also I can wear scarves, hats, boots and gloves. That feels good.

Also, I will start an annual tradition that I will call No Buy October. That means, I will not buy anything that I don't actually need. Mostly, that means clothes, shoes, accessories, nail art stuff and makeup - but I also try to save on other things as well. I think it's good for everyone to sometimes have a longer period of time when you focus on whole lot of other things than shopping. And it's also good environmentally, as you don't support buying new stuff all the time.

I don't consider myself a shopaholic, but I do think I would manage without so much stuff. And, this kind of months will allow me to learn the art of making my own clothes and other DIY projects. So, I'm positive I'll be posting that kind of stuff here soon enough. :)

Today, however, it's time for another outfit post. It feels kinda weird posting a summery outfit like this when you can't consider a similar outfit even for a few minutes if you're going outside now. It's under 10 degrees Celsius now (not that freezing still, though) so knits and jeans are a great uniform at the moment.



Very casual little look, I totally love the shorts here. And that shirt is super comfy!

To see this manicure in better shape, check out this post!

Shorts: Gina Tricot Shirt: Cubus Ballet flats: SkoPunkten Beanie: KalPa shop Rings: Gina Tricot, JC, H&M Necklace: Gina Tricot

This is the kind of outfit I usually like to wear when hanging out with the boys or going shopping or such. I'm not the girliest girl, but I don't mind that, personally.

So, what do you think about the outfit? And, do you ever decide to have the kind of shopping bans like I'm having at the moment? Share your thoughts in comments! ♥

Now, me and my fiance are about to go and test drive the new-ish ice cream shop they opened recently in Koskikeskus here in Tampere. But, more on that later!

Have a fabulous day ♥

Blog ya later,

Hi everyone!

How are you? ♥

I'm so excited that it's the last week of work before vacay - only one shift left on Friday, and I can finally enjoy some time off. I haven't had a proper vacation in years, so I can't wait to reach mine. And on vacation, I will have so much time to blog, which is cool. :) Though one thing I would love you to do is leave me some more questions for the Ask Me Anything post so I can write a proper post answering them. ;) (Click here to leave your questions, and leave as many as you want to!)

Anyway, today's post is just a quick one with an outfit I wore last month. I really liked this look, and would love to figure out a way to interpret this to autumn soon. ;)

Once again, pretty simple look, featuring my favorite black skirt. It's been one of my best purchases ever, I got it for 3 Euros or so, and I've been wearing it countless times. That's what you call a treasure, right? ;) Okay, so, I have not much more to say about the outfit, but I would like to hear what you think.

So, what do you think about the look? Have you any priceless thrift finds in your closet? ♥

I need to go get some sleep now, to try and get my rhythm in place (well, next week will do that anyways, haha) but talk to you all later! ;)

Have a fabulous day ♥

Hi sweeties!

How are you all? ♥

I just finished my second to last week of work before my summer vacation, and I'm so, so excited about the plans we have already for the time. But more on that later. (I'm already planning the posts for the time I can't access my laptop much, so even with me busy with life, the blog will roll. And I have my phone to check the comments every once in a while!)

Anyway, tomorrow is once again time for some nail art. Both of these designs are somewhat colorful (I love to use the neons in summer!) but they are still quite different.



First up, neon green goodness with some silver sparkles. Simple to the point, but having this little twist with the all silver accent nail.



The colors I used were China Glaze In The Lime Light, Essie Set In Stones and IsaDora Silver Sparkles. There's also a thick coat of white polish under the green to make it more vibrant.



I'm usually a stranger when it comes to wearing green polish, but somehow every color looks lovelier in neon... So I ended up wearing green polish. And I liked it. A lot.



And after filing my nails down a bit, I changed the look of them completely - while keeping some elements similar:



Neon, feathers, silver sparkles.... Love them! This is a design I have never ever tried before, but I think I should absolutely do something like this again soon.



The colors I used were China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, Essie Muchi Muchi, IsaDora Silver Sparkles, Essie  Set In Stones, and a bunch of nail art paints by Kiss.



This is one is one of my personal favorites so far, I really loved every bit of this mani.



Now, your turn: What do you think about these manis? And, which is your favorite?

Also, remember to go and submit some more questions to this post (click the link) so I can make you a fun answer post later on! Thank you so much!

Now this girl needs to go get a bit more social with the boys, who are playing NHL with such a big enthusiasm. ;) Tomorrow, we are going to the beach to get some tan and have a great time - and I can't wait for that! So, I better shut down the laptop soon, and get some sleep so I won't be a complete zombie in the morning. ;D

Have a lovely day! ♥

Blog ya later,

Hi lovelies!

How are you all today? ♥

I noticed I had a longer break between the posts than usual, but you know, that's life. Sometimes there's so much more going on. Actually, as I'm typing I should be doing the dishes and finishing off today's workout, but I just couldn't resist the temptation of writing a post for you.

For those few who are wondering how my healthy July is going, I can proudly tell it's going well. I admit that there have been a couple of  setbacks due to schedule issues, but I'm almost where I was supposed to be today.

Now, before today's photos, I would like to remind you to send more questions to the Ask Me Anything post (click the link!), as we still don't have enough there to make a proper answer post. ;) You can ask pretty much anything, it can be about shallow things as fashion and makeup, up to the questions that deal with religion or whatever. There aren't that many things that are simply too personal, so go ahead and ask. Anything you'd like to know about me. :)

Okay, so, to the post in hand. Today's look is a pretty simple one, and it's from a day I couldn't really bother to style a very different and amazing outfit. But we all have those days, right?














Shorts: H&M Top: Cubus Booties: Boohoo Bag: Boohoo Bracelets: Gina Tricot Sunglasses: Citymarket

Can you believe those glasses came from a grocery store? Okay, from a big one, but still. Goes to show that not every accessory needs to be Gucci or something to look great. Actually, every single thing on this outfit has been bought with some sort of discount. I'm a bargain hunter, which is essential when loving fashion but needing to shop on a tiny budget because of studying and such. In the end, though, style is about how you put pieces together, not where you buy them. ;)

That text really didn't have to do much about the look itself... Oh well, it's so basic there's hardly anything for me to say about it. Simple items, easy colors, very basic - meaning, I love it. Not that I don't love details, but you need different things sometimes.

But what do you guys think about this simple look?

In the morning, we're getting up quite early, and we will get once again on the road to go help my fiance's family to paint a small building. Nice way to spend a sunny day off, I think. And it's been a long time since I last got to paint anything bigger than a nightstand. (Which reminds me, I still haven't posted pictures of our not-so-new-anymore bedroom... I try to get on that next month when I have my summer vacation!)

Anyway, I'm off now, to finish off a couple of tasks before heading to bed!

Have a lovely day! ♥



Blog ya later,
