Camo Cool

I have been following the New York fashion week and I got a little inspired. I have never been a huge fan of camo pattern, probably because green is not one of my fave colours. But even though Kim Kardashion got some criticism for her Yeezy outfit, I fell in love with the outfit and think it is pretty cool! Especially the combination of the camo coat and the heels and leggings. So I made an outfit inspired by Kim.

Black track

Even though the weather has been very sunny and warm today, I feel like wearing something like this. Very chill and sporty, but with the faux fur giving some edge to the outfit. I also like the backpack very much :)

Saturday healthies

I haven't made any Polyvore outfits lately, and as I entered Polyvore today I remembered why I really like the website. It is so easy to make your own outfit before you wear it! If you don't find the piece you want in your outfit, you can just add it to polyvire through the "clip to polyvore tool".  So easy to plan your outfits and get some inspiration! This is what I would want to wear now :)

En ole käynyt Polyvoressa aikoihin. Kun nyt siellä taas kävin, muistin miksi pidän siitä nettisivusta niin paljon. Siellä on niin helppo tehdä omat asut etukäteen, ja saada inspiraatiota omiin asuihin. Siellä voi periaatteessa tehdä oman asunsa ihan kokonaan, lisäämällä netistä tarkalleen omat vaatteet, jos niitä ei siellä vielä löydy. Tämän asun haluaisin nyt pistää päälle :)

In this post I told about my daily vitamins. I forgot to add the MSM powder that I take every morning. I wrote about MSM and it's benefits earlier in this post. I have been taking MSM now for about a year, and I have not been sick since. I've had some small flues, but not that often and not anything worse. At some point a few ears ago I used to be sick very often. 

Recently I have added the applecidervinegar to my diet. It is good for your stomach, it lowers the cholesterol and lowers your blood sugars. It can be used externally and internally and has so many benefits. When you use applecidervinegar you have to make sure it is the right kind. 

Tässä postauksessa kerroin aamuisista vitamiineistani. Unohdin postauksesta MSM-jauheen, jota juon joka aamu. MSM:stä kirjoitin tässä postauksessa. Olen ottanut MSM:ää nyt suurinpiirtein vuoden verran, enkä ole ollut kunnolla sairaana tuona aikana. Jotain pikkuflunssaa on ollut, mutta ei sen pahempaa.

Äskettäin lisäsin omenasiiderietikan ruokavaliooni. Omenaviini-/omenasiiderietikka on todella terveellistä ja sitä voi käyttää sekä sisäisesti että ulkoisesti. Omenasiiderietikan pitää kuitenkin olla oikenlaatuista kuumentamatonta versiota, jotta se on hyödyllisintä.

White Skirt x 2

On saturday I have my cousin's graduation party and I have been planning on what to wear. I did not want to wear a dress, so I created a few options based around a white skirt. I think both of these combinations are very fresh. When I don't know what to wear, but have some ideas I go to Polyvore and create an outfit to see what it would look like. And when Im done, it see if my own peaces go together.

Lauantaina on ihanan serkkuni ylioppilasjuhlat, ja olen etukäteen miettinyt mitä puen päälle. Koin että mulla ei oikein ole mitään kivaa mekkoa, joten voisin tehdä jonkun kivan hame-yhdistelmän. Tein kaksi asuvaihtoehtoa luomalla ne ensin Polyvoressa ja sitten kokoamalla ne kotona.

Outfit 1.

First I created this white floral outfit. This I created after I had taken the pictures, so that's why the shoes and bag are different in the picture I took of my pieces. But I do have a similar pink bag and silver shoes that I would wear with this floral lace outfit.

Eka asuyhdistelmä on kaunis valkoisen ja kukkakuvioidun pitsin yhdistelmä. Kengät ja laukku on eri Polyvore kuvassa kuin omassa kuvassani, mutta minulla löytyy vaaleanpunainen kirjekuorilaukku ja hopeiset kengät, joten luulen että ne sopii tähän asuun hyvin.

The lace top I have for this outfit is actually a dress. But it is very very short, so, I think it will go well as a top in this case.

Oma pitsitoppini on oikeastaan mekko, mutta se on hyvin hyvin lyhyt, joten uskon sen käyvän topista tässä asussa. 

Here I am wearing the same dress a few summers ago :)

Tässä pari kuvaa muutaman kesän takaisista riennoista jossa käytin kyseistä mekkoa :)

Outfit 2.

This second outfit is very cute as well. I like the combination of the turquoise and white. And paired with a simple pair of shoes and bag it will look very cute.

Kakkosasussa halusin yhdistää valkoisen ja turkoosin. Mielestäni tämä on niin raikas yhdistelmä että oikein harmittaa että mulla ei ole muita turkoosin värisiä vaatteita.

My own top looks too blue in the pictures, it is actually more turquoise and a bit shiny fabric. The bag is not exactly the same either. 

The inspiration for this colour combination I got from who else than Rihanna.

Oma toppini on turkoosimpi kuin miltä se kuvassa näyttää. Inspiraationi tähän väriyhdistelmään tuli keneltä muultakaan, kuin rihannalta :)

Lets hope the weather is better on Saturday!

And congratulations to all graduates!

May by linda-martesuo 

Rainy May :(

I was hoping to get to wear something like this by this time of the year, but instead I am cosying up in my comfy pants at home. But if the weather would be like I am wishing, this is what I would wear to a party! ...of course I would need the clothes as well :)

Sateinen toukokuu :(

Toivon että olisin voinut pukea jotakin tämän tapaista jo tähän mennessä kevättä, mutta sen sijaan löhöydyn sohvalle pehmosousut päälläni. Mutta, jos sää olisi kuten toivoisin, pukeisin tämän asun ylleni illan rientoihin! ...tarvitsisin kyseiset vaatteet tietenkin myös :)

My view says it all.

Tämä ei tarvitse sanoja.

Sunny shades

Sunglasses are really the big thing and a big part of accessorising your outfits nowadays. Especially when you can make an otherwise simple outfit special by adding a pair of funky or classy sunglasses. 

Here I collected some sunglasses that I would wear any day!

Later I will make a post of a bit funkier sunglasses.

Nykyään aurinkolasit ovat iso osa lookin asustamista sillä aurinkolaseilla jopa tylsä asu saa pientä särmää, ja valinnanvaraa tuntuu olevan hirveästi aurinkolaseissa.

Kokosin kaksi kollaasia omia silmiä miellyttävistä aurinkolaseista. Kotiuttaisin heti minkä vain näistä!

Teen myöhemmin postauksen erikoisemmista surinkolaseista.

Summer parties

I know many people start their summer with a graduation party or similar school is over -party. Thats why I picked my favourite dresses for the festive's this summer. I have one wedding to attend this summer, so let's see what I will find to wear! :D 

The first collage is for the girl who likes the classic graduation style with flowers and swinging hems. My favourites are number 2 and 4.

This second collage is for the girl who wants to stand out in a different way. Not the typical colours, and a bit different cuts. I like most number 1, 5 and 6 :)

I know many who have event after event and are fully booked for all kind of parties during summer. It can get very expensive buying new dresses for all the events. That's why I created this collage for dresses for affordable prices. These are very pretty and affordable. Number 3 is my fave. These are also budget friendly for the student wallet.

Spring Fling

Oh man, don't you agree that the spring sun just makes you happy! The amount of light and sun just makes you smile :D

I am really a summer/spring person. In the winter I just want to wrap my self into a thick knit and a thick jacket, wear the biggest moonboots and be like the moonman, unrecognizeable. As soon as the spring comes, I feel like a different person inside, and outside as well because I feel more inspired to dress nice.

Anyway, I created two styles around my favourite shoes in this post. I would wear both of these any day now. The flower blouse and the eyeglasses are super cute!

Spring steps

Im so happy the spring is here soon!

Even tho spring is a lovely time, I feel it is a bit challenging shoewise. I often feel I don't find the right kinda shoe for the Finnish changing spring weather. This time around I would need a beige shoe to combine with lighter colours in clothing. I think the open toe or the mule shoe are very nice, and just perfect for spring and summer.

My favourites are 1, 2, 8 and 9 :D or maybe all of them since they are in my collage!

I would wear the coach peep toe pump as on the left, for a sunny day in the city with friends, added with either a black or brown leather jacket. And as on the right, to the office, and maybe have a grey or white blazer to go with it!

The styles look so fresh I could wear them any day. Summer, please come fast!

Coach heel styled two ways.

The copycat

I builded an outfit in Polyvore based on what I was wearing in this post. The combination of powder pink and beige / brown is brilliant. I love the shoes in this outfit, since it gives an illusion of panther patten when you are wearing the shoe, that's why it fits this outfit very well.

Pink Panther

I wanted to build an outfit around this knit I bought the other day. Usually if I have one piece of clothing that is a bit "problematic" in a sense that it stands out or is a bit different, I try to build simple pieces around it. As I always do, here is the casual look and the office look, since I don't thin office looks should be boring just because we are at the office. Also, I would wear the knit loosely open so that it does not cut the entire outfit.

My daydreams consist of....

...SHOES

There's nothing prettier than beautiful shoes! I am dreaming of adopting one of these pairs to my closet. But how on earth could I ever choose which one???

Anyway...here are the most fashionable styles and colours for summer.  I think the platform heels are so gone...now the feminine and stylish pointed toe pump is ruling the catwalks.

In the weekend I might share my best online shopping secrets!

Baglady

For this summer I will need one big fresh, summery bag that will look nice against tanned skin and make me happy! Any nice  bag actually makes me happy, but now I need something with a bit of colour. 

Here I collected a few bags that I think fits the colours of this summer. I especially like the light blue Tory Burch. Imagine it hanging on your arm with an outfit with jean shorts and a flairy top and heels...luckily summer will be here before we even know it!

Saint V

I am actually not that big fan of valentine's day. I think of it more as a reminder to tell your loved and close ones how much you care or just as a reminder to be considerate of every living creature on the planet. Love attracts love, and I think that shows in my first valentine's collage. Red on red.

I find something very cute and romantic about the combination of dark red and soft pink. And the black and gold details just seals the deal. I would wear this any day, not just for a valentine's day date :)

For the more classic girl I created an evening style. The sexy slip dress and dark red details is just very cool and sexy. With the hair tied up in a messy bun and natural makeup, this look is perfect for a fancy dinner.
