Maximum hippie

I'm so into maxi skirts / dresses right now. Here's Olivia Wilde (+friend) at farmer's market in L.A.

 

Photos from here.

Would like to find that kind of hippie style maxi skirt / dress, any suggestions where to start looking?

Love, M

Today's style thoughts

 

Saw these photos on my daily visit to people.com and wanted to share them with you. Love these looks: Elizabeth Olsen (first photo) has combined everything beautifully, especially love the plain white shirt with the chunky necklace. And Rachel Bilson, those red pants with leopard heels, perfect!

Love,

Not allowed

What do you buy when you're not allowed to buy anything (and by anything I mean clothes, bags, shoes etc...) because of excessive spending on your holiday? The answer is scarves. Here's one.

Leopard scarf, H&M 

Although summer is still here I've started thinking about colder weather, leaves falling, knitwear... Autumn!! Extensive post of what I will covet this Autumn/Winter coming up soon!

With love,

Stories

Check out this amazing website called 'Dear Photograph'. It's where people post 'pictures of a picture from the past in the present', usually with small story related to that picture.

 

 

Cute, lovely, sometimes heartbreaking...

With love, M

Transformation

Demi Lovato styled by Elle... I'm not a fan, but I like these photos as they transform her from a Disney star to something edgy and kind of mysterious.

Introducing yellow to my wardrobe

I bought a new bag and the shocking thing (well, for me) is that it's yellow! Jewel tones will be huge this autumn/winter, and this bag is the perfect colour... and big enough to carry all my stuff around (easily fits a laptop + more).

Bought it from Greece last week so sorry, don't know the label or remember the store's name! But I'm pretty sure I won't see lots of people in Helsinki walking around with this bag, which is a bonus.

Love,
M

Blazer love

Right now I'm really into blazers. That's especially because I'm always in a hurry in the morning, and it's so easy to just throw together a t-shirt and a blazer and be ready to go to work in 2 minutes. Lazy girl's dream!

My most recent blazer buys:

1. a pink silk (or silk mix) blazer from the flea market. Dare I say how much...? Just two euros. That's what I call a bargain!

 2. a light brown blazer from H&M.

Next I'd like to get a white/light beige blazer. Maybe something like these?

...And Julia shows us what a bad blazer looks like. Tut tut Julia.

Hope to hear your thoughts on the subject! Blazers, hot or not?
With love,
M

To-do lists

I wanted to share these cute outfits, although if I was Nicole I'd lose the black tights. Especially love Whitney's whole look.

This week I'm facing a major task:

1. organising my wardrobe
2. repairing all broken/unfitting clothes 
3. taking all leather bags and shoes that need fixing to the shoe shop 
4. dry-cleaning all clothes that can't be washed normally.

Don't know how I'm gonna do all this... 

Wish me luck!
Love, M

Finally! Skirt dreams come true...

As you might know, I've been searching for the perfect maxi skirt for a while now. Tonight I finally found what I've been looking for! 

I just ordered this sheer pleated maxi skirt from Mikkat Market. 

 

For 44$ (about 30€) it's a bargain! I think it's great for both sunny days and long, light nights...

And Mikkat Market is definitely worth your visit, they have so many simple but gorgeous clothes.

Love, 

M

Saturdays are for picnics

 

  

So today I'm gonna wear the new white dress (featured in the previous post) with some ballet flats and huge sunnies... Enjoy your weekend, I'm off to a park with friends and some white wine!

Update: tonight's party hair accessory

(H&M hair clip roses and Cailap hairband)

Love,
