October came and went

I have lots of photos I could show from this month, but uploading them all in one entry would be
just too much, so I'll show you the highlights of the month , explaining a little along the way.

A few outfit snapshots from the first half I'm fond of:

As you can see, somewhere in between my hair went from red to brown. I suddenly felt tired of
the red again and pictures of Mori Girls inspired me and my dream-hair suddenly became dark
brown, long, thick and flowing. I still want to dye it a shade darker or so, but this is fine for now
as my hair isn't as long as I would wish it to be yet either. But it grows surprisingly quickly!
This is my hair in October last year:

And now: Of course, it's pulled up in a messy ponytail in these pictures, but I still think you can
see what a huge difference it is. It reaches way over my shoulders now, but I'm still working on
getting it longer!



The 17th and 18th was Tsukicon here in Helsinki. It turned out to be quite the fail for such a
price. I personally wasn't a victim of how badly organized it was since I wasn't participating in
any show or anything but also the whole setup of the place was not very good and there wasn't
really anything to do other than walk around.

The Finnish lolita-forum Enfant Terrible had organized a fashion show with the theme "Lolita to
the Extreme" and the show in itself was fabulous, but it could have been so much better with
proper lights and stage-setup which all wasn't possible because of the location of the stage.
Otherwise i've also heard stories of their dressing-room and J-rockers passing through.

It's sad that all cons here lately have been so badly organized. Animecon is always like that,
there's nothing to do about it. 10 000 people and no entrance fee is a combination bound to fail,
so people put their hopes in the smaller "private" cons, but then Tsukicon goes and fails like this.
WHat will our summer cons then look like with the flood of immigrants from the big emptyness the lack of Animecon leaves behind? I fear a catastrophe.

But, not thanks to the con, but thanks to my friends, I still had a great weekend and made lots of
wonderful memories.

Going out on Saturday evening with Sofia and Jyri

We went to the Helsinki bookfair with school. I experimented a little here, combining mint and
lavender. It turned out to be Mint x Lavender x Pink though because of the pink in the L'Oiseau
Bleu print. JSK and Cardigan is Baby, the Stars Shine Bright. socks are Angelic Pretty and the
shoes Secret Shop.

23.10
Breast cancer awareness "Dress in Pink-day"
T-shirt is LEGO, Cardigan is the modified H&M one, I've posted about before, Skirt is Alice and
the Pirates, socks Angelic Pretty and the shoes Secret Shop.

Now with all this behind we stepped into November today. I almost can't believe I've already
lived in Helsinki for two whole months. I should make a post with pictures of my apartment
some day. Just ahve to wait till i get the camera again. Sharing one with your sister living an
hour away isn't alway the easiest thing. Lucky my dad hinted I'd be getting one for
birthday/christmas.
