Second Hand Shopping

Hello, lords and ladies! 

Today me and Hanna went to a huge second hand market that was in Helsinki Mass Centre. This was my outfit for the day:

Outfit details:
Roses - H&M
Blouse - Ellos
Dress - Innocent World
 
On to the shoppings. First, this black dress wich has a very wide hem, it can easily fit my lolita petticoats.

A cute, girly trench coat, also with quite a large hem. I'm thinking of purchasing long leather gloves to go with this.

And here's the rest.  A cardigan that reaches just my waist (perfect with dresses and even lolita outfits), a vintage fur stole, vintage freshwater pearls and a scarf made of linen.

A closeup of the pearls. I'm pondering weather to keep them the way they are, or to re-make them into something a little bit different... what do you think?

My Resent Purchases & a Casual Look

Good afternoon, lords and ladies!

This time I'm going to show you some of my new purchases and one casual look from yesterday.

Let's start with my Innocent World halterneck jumperskit. I like it very much indeed. I've been searching for a basic black dress that can be worn in many different ways, and now I think I've found it.

Close up of the collar. The pearls are detachable. 

And these just arrived today! Deer antlers from Essin maailma. Essi custom made them for me, because I didn't want mine to have fluffy deer ears. I simply can't keep my hair loose and I though I'd look silly with both my real ears and the deer ears showing. x)

With the antlers came this adorable thank you -note from Essi. 

One more umbrella to my collection. This time it's a see trough umbrella with a pretty lace print.

 

And finally here's my look from yesterday. Sorry about the crappy mirror shot, but bf was not at home. x)

Outfit details:
Blouse - second hand
Skirt - F21
Stockings - H&M
Shoes - can't remember

Hypecon 2013 Lolita Fashion Show

Hello hello, everybunny!

I helped Hanna to organize a little fashion show for Hypecon. First we were afraid that no one would be interested in modeling, but in the end we had 12 models in total, which is just fine. Hanna had this idea that we would show the audience some current trends in lolita fashion, and as classic is definitely on the rise, I went for OTT classic look.

 

I borrowed the bonnet from Hanna, and now I have a terrible bonnet fever myself... now I really want to purchase a bonnet. *-*

Outfit details:
Bonnet - Innocent World (borrowed from Hanna)
Dress - Victorian Maiden
Parasol - Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
Shoes - second hand

And here's the video of the show! I'm so proud of everyone, they performed so well! ♥

Fairly Sweet

Good evening, lords and ladies!

Summer has got me graving for sweet pastel colours. Also this Baby's dress has a text "Fairly Sweet" written all over it. I think they made a mistake and meant to say "Fairy Sweet" (which doesn't make any sense either), but I've always loved this dress because of that typo. "Fairly Sweet" does indeed describe this dress - and my look - very well. It is officially the best typo ever. x)

The shoes and the purse are actually dark brown, which you can see from this picture here.

Today Hanna visited our place, and we had home made ice tea and strawberry-rhubarb pie. All the pictures of the pie looked ugly, and the pie was ugly indeed, but it tasted good. :D But anyway, have a picture of pretty candy instead.

Dress, headbow - Baby, The Stars Shine Bright
Bolero - Angelic Pretty
Shoes, purse - second hand

At The Zoo

Hello, lords and ladies!

Today me and my boyfriend visited Helsinki Zoo, Korkeasaari. This post is going to be extremely picture heavy because omg so many cute animals! So let's start with my outfit, so those who are not so fond of animals can easily skip the rest of the pictures. x)

So, something simple, comfy and quick this time. My curls from yesterday are still alive and kicking! I just brushed them trough.

Outfit details:
Dress, purse - Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
Headbow - Innocent World
Bracelet - a gift from Hanna (handmade by her)
Rest - offbrand and can't really remember.

Okay, this picture doesn't feature any animals, but it's still pretty.

These are the gundis, they were so cute, looked like big chubby hamsters but they were actually very agile - when they moved.

And when they didn't, they went all flat, just like my Odessa when she relaxes. 

And speaking of Odessa... there were some "city bunnys"! This one looks a little bit like Odessa.

Here you can see one relaxed peacock. He was just sleeping and sunbathing and didn't seem to mind my presense at all.

The snow leopard male, he was so beautiful. We had a great luck and were able to catch a glimpse of most of the big cats.

And finally, this little fellow. I don't know what species she is, she doesn't belong to the Zoo, though she seemed incredibly tame. She had laid three eggs just beside a road and didn't seem a tiny bit frightened of us.

Burn Your Petticoats

Hello, lords and ladies!

Today I met with Hanna to have some tea at The Ounce. We had a great time, it's always nice to visit The Ounce.

The weather today was quite hot, so no petticoat. How radical, but also practical. Luckily this dress looks surprisingly good without a petticoat, it floats so nicely in the wind.

Once again I might have gone just a tiny bit nuts with the roses...

And for once my nails look rather nice (usually at least one of them is broken), so I took the trouble of putting some matching nail polish on. It's hard to tell but there are also some tiny butterfly nail stickers.

Outfit details:
Dress - Juliette & Justine
Blouse - Ellos
Roses - H&M
Shoes - bought them from London

Parasol Season

...it has begun! The weather today was sunny, but windy. A perfect weather to wear lolita and carry a parasol. Unfortunately not so great weather for one's hair, but you can't have it all, it seems.

Anyway, me and my boyfriend went to have some tea at The Ounce. It was nice to go there after a long time. I've been so busy with my school I've had hardly time for anything else this Spring. After the tea we went to see "The Great Gatsby". It was so beautiful and sad.

I tried to wear my Minna Parikka's Angora shoes, but  it was so painful I had to change to lower heels. I can manage everything from 2 cm to 10 cm, but 12 cm heels, that's too much for me. Well, these shoes are so pretty that somehow I will have to learn to endure the pain they cause. :'D

We also bought some tea and caramel flavoured sugar. The green tea is called "Chinese Lover's Dream", the black and green tea blend is "Jasmin Bagdad" and the white one is "Jade Spiral", it's Chinese handmade top quality tea.
