Shopping in Sweden

First I'm going to show you a random picture from how I looked a couple of weeks back, Wednesday the 17th of November. I've become really bad at taking pictures of what i wear, but as soon as I have a better camera in my hands there will be more of those again.

The dress is from Bodyline and the cardigan is H&M.

Then, last Saturday (the 4th of December) I headed off to Sweden with Viking Line, to spend some time with my friend Christel. I spent the time on the ferry with my parents and our family friends. Then once in Stockholm on the 5th me and Christel walked around shopping for quite a while.

We bought some "burned almonds" on Hötorget. One of the things I really wish we had in Finland. You can get them in both Sweden and Estonia, but for some reason not over here. It's just almonds fried in some sweet substance and they're so tasty. I love them!
As the history freak I am I of course have to use the chance of buying books in Swedish. Of course we have books avaible here too, but the selection is naturally wider in Sweden, and due to a smaller book tax they're cheaper too.


These are a pair of shoes i've been wanting for a while. They're from Monki, which we nowadays have in Finland too, but my size was sold out in both stores here. So, I'm really happy I could find a pair in one of the stores in Stockholm!

From Indiska I got a pair of cozy over knee woollen socks and a cute dress that was on sale:


Many of my friends have been going on about the store "bikbok", but I have never actually been to one before. Now I decided to check out the one on Drottninggatan and I was pleasantly surprised! So many pretty clothes! I ended up just buying a shirt though, but I've been wanting an offwhite simple blouse for quite a while. So this is just perfect! It's missing a button though, so I got 20% off from it.

Another buy I am very very happy for is this pair of overknee boots from DinSko. I've been craving a pair for so long and now I even had a fake reason to buy a pair, as I need them for a cosplay next year. So when i found this perfect pair on sale I was lost and well, now they're mine.

Do I have to mention we got our extra taxes back on Friday? : D

Yesterday was Finland's independence day, which i celebrated by watching the ball on a tiny TV in a Viking Line cabin with some Blueberry Koskenkorva. It was very nice, actually. Happy late Birthday, dear fatherland. <3

Return & GLAM

It has been quite a while since I posted here the last time. But now I'm thinking of picking up blogging here again. The the mrange might be a little bigger this time, but this will still mainly be about fashion and what inspires me.

This time I bring some photos from almost a month back, when I went to see Adam Lambert live here in Helsinki. Of course the occassion required some dressing up.



My dress and leggings are from Gina Tricot and the shoes are Monki. The shoes have really become my favorite pair, I wear them with almost anything, including lolita. They are really comfortable despite their height, and I don't think it looks bad even if you wear socks with them.

The other important person of this weekend was Sofia, one of my absolute best friends who I hadn't seen for four whole months. I was so excited, and it was really worth it!

Post-Glambert beauty in DTM.

Hopefully it won't be long until my next post here! I doubt it will. : )

Before the snow came

Back in December, more exactly the 12th of December, i attended a lolita meetup in Helsinki. These are the pictures I took there. It was a great meetup and I'm looking forward to more meetups like this one!

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

On the way to Tsukicon on Sunday morning

And my outfit from the day:

And then a couple of Outfits from the rest of October:

22.10
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.
