SHOES.

Hello, once again! This time I’ll be telling you about some of my shoes... 
I don’t usually go buying shoes like crazy, since I rarely see anything that I like or want, but that DOES happen every now and then. During the summer break I actually managed to buy 2 new pairs, got one pair from Mari-liis and dug out few old favourites.

Let us start with the pair I got from Mari-liis (who bought them from Japan):

Bonita.

Surprisingly comfortable even though they may look a bit painful, I wore these for three nights in a row once and only my calves were complaining by the end of the third night.
Plus they make me so tall~

Now to the pairs I bought:

Jumex (not the juice)

I don’t know WHY, but these make me think of Lydia Martin/Holland Roden. Anyway, I will forever say that Mari-liis forced me to buy these. They are cute and adorable and I love them but she forced me to buy them. End of story.

Nike Lunar Forever

Got my first proper running shoes! They feel heavenly~
Now I just need to find the time, and energy, to actually go for runs... I’m just too lazy x)

Couple old favourites:

Dea Dia. Cute shoe shop I accidentally bumped into while visiting Shibuya.

Bought these in February 2008 when I was visiting Japan. They were WAY cool not to buy, and so I awkwardly asked for a bigger size than what was on display (Japanese people have smaller feet), and the store assistant even put the shoe on for me and tightened the straps. It love at first sight. I mean with the shoe and I.

Friis&Co.

I had been drooling at these for a while some years ago, but they were always a bit too expensive for me. Until that one day when I stepped to the same store once again and noticed that they had a discount on these shoes... which also happened to be my size. Needless to say I left the store with a smile on my face.
Not the comfiest shoes to wear for hours, but they look damn good.

I also may have bought some new shoes in England... after the summer break.
My defence is, that I had the best excuse to buy the first pair, and- DAMN. I don’t have a good excuse for the other pair.

Converse! with cute squirrels and reindeer (?)!

These babies I bought because I had been rather upset the night before and hence wanted something to cheer me up. So cute AND I got them with a nice discount~

Schutz. A brand I've never heard of, but the original price had been R$320...

Now these... I basically just bought because they went well with my new jacket and made my legs look amazing. I have no other excuse.

All in all, I now have WAY too many shoes, and don’t know what to do with all of them! I don’t know how some people can live happily with 15+ pair of shoes, when I’m already going crazy with less than that!


Oh, btw, this (what you see above) is my new awesome jacket that I got from London (Forever 21~) on my hunt for Victoria’s Secret (from where I bought a new bra and underwear ♥)
And you can't deny that my legs look really good in those shoes, despite the bruises on my knees (which are from DANCING, just FYI)!

Before I go, I remember I promised samples from the nail polishes I posted pictures of, so here we go with the first one~

Pearl Fashion UK - Pomegranate

Stay human and blog ya later!

Accessories time!

I could say I'm sorry for NOT posting this last week like I said, but I've been very occupied with Band of Brothers and Suits and I gotta say...


So yeah. Not sorry for spending some quality time with some great TV shows x)
Anyway, here it is: my totally awesome post including some of my jewerly, like necklaces and earrings, featuring a random Harrod's plate.

Let's start with the bracelets.

Friis and Co. bracelet, gift from my friend Meri.

It's supposed to have a lock next to the heart-locket-thingy, but it got lost long time ago T_T
I still like it a lot, of course. I love Friis~

Self-made, given to me by my friend Jens.

I got this from Jens like 3 years ago... wow. Such a long time ago :'D
And that's actually when we met. We both happened to be in London for the same reason and he had a big bunch of these on his arm. I asked about them and he told he had made most of them himself and then gave this one to me.
It goes together really well with this as well:

Rainbow bracelet, bought from Helsinki Pride 2007 (?)

This one rarely comes off my wrist nowadays. When I got it, I used to wear it all the time.
Then I removed it for some reason and it took me ages to start using it again as much as I use it now. It's been on my wrist for at least a month now. 24/7.

Let's take some of my rings at this point:

Above: 4 rings from Bijou Brigitte. Below: 1 from Bijou Brigitte.

I very rarely use rings. The four colourful ones I bought from Liverpool when we went there for a day. They were just so cool and since they were metallic and together, I got them.
The plain one is plastic and used to have black zebralike stripes on it, which I've been trying to get off since I kinda want it to be just silver-ish. I think I got it from Bijou Brigitte in Kamppi...

I do have more rings, for example my secondary school class ring, which has barbwire design on it. I should have my elementary school class ring SOMEWHERE... but I haven't seen that in ages. It even had a dragon on it ;__;

Well, let's move on to earrings:

Friis and Co. earrings, present from Kiira and Maria.

Obviously some people know my small love for Friis... I'm not as bad as a certain someone who introduced me to the brand, but I'm slowly getting there.
I gotta thank her for introducing me to this awesome brand!!!

But yeah, three pair of earrings~ The black stars are my favourites, I have to admit. Not to say that I don't like the others, because I DO.

Black star earrings, bought from Seppälä.

So yeah... I kinda like stars. You'll probably notice it soon.

Butterfly earrings, a gift from Monica.

I also like butterflies :D Got these from Monica as christmas gift and I love to use them with my bohemian gyaru-ish shirt :3

Leaf earrings, a gift from my friend Christin.

These actually came in the same pouch with a necklace (that you'll be seeing a bit later, patience). Christin gave them to me as a christmas gift if I remember correctly. (When you have your birthday in December, it's sometimes hard to remember wether people gave a present for birthday or christmas...)

Off to the necklaces!

Leaf necklace, from Christin.

So this is the necklace I mentioned like a few seconds or minutes ago (depending how fast you're reading and IF you were reading).
They're made out of a material that makes a funny sound when they hit each other so it's hard for me to run or jump quietly while wearing this :D

Feather necklace, from Glitter.

This one some of you've seen before so not much to tell about it. Except that I lost one feather to a shop in Helsinki-Vantaa airport -_-

Friis and Co. necklace, bought from Friis' own shop in Turku.

When they still had one... I think it either moved or they quit... I do not approve of this.
But I love this necklace (a star!) ♥ I got it for myself as a birthday present in... 2008 or something.

Muffin necklace, bought from Seppälä.

I like these kind of necklaces :3

Horse necklace, also from Seppälä.

I actually have this one twice. I've been supposed to customise the other one, but haven't been assed to :'D
I like it~

Fake dog tag necklace, from Gina Tricot.

WITH an actual, very real, dog tag from Finnish army tank you very much.
I bought the fake dog tags 'cause I have a thing for Union Jack and I like dog tags.
I then attached my fathers dog tag to it. Just until I can find a better/another chain for it... it's been like that for years...

Snowflake necklace, present from Ida.

Once again a birthday present from a friend of mine :3 I like this, 'cause snow ♥
It even has those fake diamond thingies that make it shiny~

Star necklace, bought from JC.

STAAAAARSSS!!! ♥ And it's partly pink. What's not to like? :D


Aaand that, my friend, is about it. I do have WAY more accessories/jewelry (and I mean A LOT more), but I decided to show you my favourites and the ones that I have here with me.
Because showing everything would be... a lot.

Well, have a nice day, stay human and look at Elina and me being totally cool (I suggest you also check out earlyseedling that should easily be found through that video):



(Btw, terribly sorry but I'm too lazy to proofread this right now so I'll do it a bit later!)
