DOUBLE DENIM CONFIDENCE

In English? Keep scrolling, meanwhile enjoy the photos.

Tiiättekö sen tunteen ku joskus sulla alkaa aamulla oleen jo silleen vähä kiire, mut sul ei oo viel mitää hajuu mitä meinaat pistää päälle. Saattaa kuulostaa niiku omg-jutulta joidenki korvaa, et onks sil nyt lopulta nii välii ku eessä perus koulupäivä, mut believe me or not, se mitä laitat päälle saattaa määrittää pitkälti sen millanen fiilis sulla sinä päivänä on, vaikka et ite sitä hiffaiska. Tutkittu juttu.

Mulla oli tänää just se tunne. Aikaa lopulta ehkä noin 2min. Alotin farkuista ja nappasin muuten sit mitä sattu vaatekaapista tulee vastaa. Vaihoin tummempii farkkuihin, koska ne meni paremmin farkkutakinka ku kirkkaammat. Testasin kahet kengät ja lisäsin hyllyllä lojunutta huulipunaa.

Ja ahh! Tykkään ihan sikana lopputuloksesta. Jotenki ihanan freesi. Sain vielä luokkakavereilta extrakehut mun huulipunasta (parempi olla jatkossa unohtamatta tätä hylsyä sinne hyllylle). Tottakai mulla oli vielä villakangastakki ulkona päällä, mut en malta oottaa et voin unohtaa sen. Fiilis päivän aikana oli super ja itsevarma.

Mitä te tykkäätte? 👍 vai 👎

Ois myös kiva tietää ootteko huomannu vaatevalintojen vaikuttavan fiiliksee?

In English

You know that feeling when you are already in a hurry, but you have no idea what to wear. May sound like one of the "biggest world problems" but what you wear may effect a lot how you feel during the day, at least unconsciously. True story.

Well I had that feeling today. I had maybe 2 minutes. Started with jeans and then just crabbed what I saw first in my wardrobe. Changed the jeans to darker pair to match better with the denim jacket. Tried the outfit with two pairs of shoes and added lipstick I found from my shelf.

Anndd, I'm loving it! I even got some extra compliments of my lipstick from my classmates. That felt good, better to use that lipstick more often. And yeah, of course I was still wearing a wool coat outside but cannot wait to get rid of it. My feeling during the day was super and confident.

What do you think about this one? 👍 or 👎

It would be also nice to know if you have noticed your outfit choices effecting to your mood during a day?

Ja hei kiitti ku jaksoit selata tänne asti, tuli aikamoinen kuvatulva, mut meikä diggaa näistä ni oli vaikee valita. / Thanks for scrolling this far, I know there is a lot of pictures but it was so hard to choose cause I liked them all.

WHEN SPORTY MEETS CLASSY

My two favourite pieces of clothing at the moment: wool coat to keep me warm and Adidas sweatpants to make me feel comfortable. The coat is a great find from the sales, I have been looking for one since autumn, and what comes to those pants I got from my little brother who had became too tall to those to fit him, well too bad for him and yeyy me! I have been looking for those a long long time. Thanks bro!

I really like matching these two together. First I did it by accident. I was wearing the pants when I was supposed to go somewhere just quickly, maybe to a grocery store, and I didn't care/had time to think what to wear. When I heard my siblings saying that I can't go out looking like that, in those pants and wearing that coat on top of that, no way. I checked mirror and realized hell yeah I can! And then I asked them to take these pictures :D This happened already before Christmas and I have to say that was not the only day when I have been wearing this combo and I'm sure this will be one of my favourites still a long time. And today I also spotted the same look from Finnish Elle magazine's Instagram here.

So what do you say? Thumbs up or thumbs down?

ALL GREEN AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE

Hope you all had a great Christmas eve yesterday! On Christmas eve I like to wear something a bit fancier but still relaxed. Festive outfit that I feel comfortable in when sitting on the Christmas table and eating way too much. :D This year I decided to wear green instead of red. I love that green shirt with bling bling (also seen here) and those woollen black trousers, which look sharp but are super comfortable. Instead of wearing a red Christmas hat, I wore those golden reindeer horns you can see in the last two pictures. And not forgetting bling bling socks. More is more, right? I always like to play with different textures in my outfits and I think that in this Christmas eve outfit there is a nice contrast between shiny and matt. Perfect! 

I want to wish you all very relaxing Christmas time! At least I will spend today in super relaxed outfit, sweatpants and sweater, watching Christmas movies and eating more Christmas food and chocolate before gathering with my friends to celebrate Christmas together in the evening.

DRESS + SWEATER + ANKLE BOOTS

Summer dresses are perfect during the autumn and winter time with knitted sweaters and cardigans. This is exactly one of my favourite type of outfits in the autumn: dress + sweater + ankle boots. 

The dress in the pictures is the one I show you here with two different looks. This time I combined my light pink dress with heavy black and white knitted sweater, black tights and ankle boots, plus light down jacket and black scarf when going out. Have to say that, again totally different looking outfit comparing these two. All based on the same dress.

These are the ways how it is possible to have more times to wear the same dress and not forget summer dresses into the darkest corner of wardrobe straight after August. At least I don't want to use a piece of garment just once or twice.

I also really liked this spot where my friend took these pics (thank you!), in front of that cute little pink house at our campus, almost two weeks ago. Works nicely even though the shade of the house is not the same than in dress. 

Last night and today it has been snowing so ground is not that green anymore. I try my best to hope that that snow could stay and it would be like -3 C degrees, but I'm sure that's not going to happen and I need to wade in slush next few weeks. I really really hate that. But anyway, it's not too cold yet to wear dresses and skirts! Just put thicker tights under if you feel chilly.

GFC 2016 - GLOBAL FASHION CONFERENCE

Past two days has been really interesting and inspiring. Global Fashion Conference 2016 was hold here in Stockholm in partnership with Stockholm University and Centre for Fashion Studies, where I study. Me and my classmates got an opportunity to join the conference and hear interesting presentations about Luxury, Fashion and Sustainability from diverse aspects. In addition the presentations of guest speakers there were parallel sessions hold as well with different topics related for example to Fashion Sustainability, Luxury, and Communication and Media. Overall there were speakers from all over the world, that I think was great to get new views of fashion and fashion industry from different countries. It was also nice to get to know more what is happening in this field and learn new things about fashion and luxury business.

Global Fashion Conference is held every other year and now for the 5th time. It is important meeting point for academia and fashion industry, like it is said in the GFC website "GFC – Global Fashion Conference aims to bring together academia and industry, contributing to innovation in the fashion business". For more, check gfc-conference.eu.

Next Global Fashion Conference will be held in Paris in 2018.

TRAVELLING OUTFIT

Even though I said last time that next time from Finland, I have to admit that I just returned back to Sweden. My visit in Finland was super. Just that escape from my everyday life I needed. Lots of friends, good food and of course my family. I wanted to give all my time to my friends and family and I really didn't even touch my computer during my visit, except once when I wanted to listen Spotify when I was cooking.  First days I spent in Helsinki and weekend in my hometown, Kotka. I will tell you more about my visit later on.

But like you may notice from these "today's travelling outfit" photos, I cut my hair like I was dreaming over a month ago (here). Or I didn't, but one of my best friends did. I prefer travelling in relaxed clothes, nothing too tight, not even for a short flight. I just don't understand those who wear high heeled sandals and mini skirts for 9 hours flight. Woollen socks and cozy outfit would be my choice.

How you dress for a flight / when travelling?

Now I hope that I will beat this little flu that I feel wants to join me for the next week. My upcoming week will be busy with school work, we have Global Fashion Conference on Thursday and Friday in our University and I'm taking over Stockholm University's Instagram (@stockholmuniversity) during the next week. So I'm quite excited about next seven days! No flu needed.

GREETINGS FROM STOCKHOLM-ARLANDA

Nice Tuesday evening and greetings from Stockholm-Arlanda. Now I'm sitting next to my gate waiting for my flight to take off. I came here maybe a bit too early so now I have good time to share my today's outfit with you. I'm going to take a little get away from my studies (still have some of them with me) and going to visit my friends and family to Finland. I'm really waiting the rest of the week!

I love my new woollen jacket, which I found from Second Female sample sale last Saturday. It's so warm! I also like my new bag from the same brand, it's something that I have been looking for and perfect add to my Autumn outfits.

Next time from Finland!

OUTFITS FROM LATE AUGUST & SEPTEMBER

And here they are, the outfits from late August and September. Better late than never, right? That was then, when there were no jackets needed, sun was shining and ballerinas were enough to keep my toes warm. In the photo set seen above, you may also spot three outfits that has not been seen on blog before. Other outfits you can check from here (1), here (3), here (5), here (6), here (8), here (9) and here (10). 

Now I would love to hear your opinion. Do you have the absolute favourite? Or is there some outfit that you think wasn't success. All "candidates" are gathered below one more time. My top three in mixed order is 7, 8 and 10, was not easy to choose. But yeah, I cannot wait to hear your opinions! Don't be afraid to leave a comment.

ps. I would love to know what is on my left (your right), cause I'm looking there almost in the half of the pics. Haha.

HORNSTULLS MARKNAD

First I have to say that this week has been crazy. It has went so so fast and all I have been doing is studying. Yesterday, after finishing an assignment, I saw my friends in the evening and today we went to check one sample sale, but otherwise I have just read articles and written the assignment. Next week I'm gonna visit Finland, so I wanted to study this week as much as possible so I don't need to study that much there. I didn't meant to have this long break from blog but girl's gotta do what girls's gotta do. I have so many ideas and things that I can't wait to share with you.

Last Sunday I went to check Hornstulls Market (Hornstulls Marknad) with two of my friends. We were lucky with that sunny and quite warm weather. There were many people selling their old clothes, but also new stuff and interior things, not forgetting to mention the food tracks. Place is also nice next to the water. We didn't buy anything this time but it was nice just to walk there and go fika afterwards. Hornstulls Market is still open every Saturday and Sunday till the end of this month, so if you are interested, go check it out! More info here.
