My old iPhone 4S had been having some problems for a long time now (freezing, running out of battery super fast, broken sleep/wake button), so I finally had had enough and went to get myself a new iPhone 6.

I picked the 16GB version in white x gold since that's my favourite color combo anyway and I probably won't need 64GB memory because I have an iPod for all my music. I had 32GB in my previous phone which would've been the best option, but seems like that isn't available in the newest model? I wonder why.

Anyway, getting a new phone means you have a permission to buy new pretty cases for it! I bought this super pretty Marc by Marc Jacobs case for my iPhone from SHOPBOP (here) and I must say their shipping was probably the fastest ever! It took only 3 days to arrive, so I was very happy about that.

I was first thinking about getting a case from Joyrich, but after I noticed their shipping would cost as much as the case itself, I decided to postpone my plans and wait till I can visit their store in Tokyo.

What's your favourite places to buy phone cases from?

Hey everyone! As I said in my previous post, I finally have a new computer! I got a 15" Macbook Pro and wow it feels different to blog with a computer that actually works as it should :'D My old one was super slow but it didn't really bother me that much, because I was so used to it. My friends always complained about it though...

Well, not gonna talk any more about computers, because this post in about something else.
Did anyone think I actually got my nose pierced when I posted this picture on Instagram? Well, I didn't (hi mom! you don't have to worry♡), because I don't want to get any visible piercings. I did take a few new ones to my ear recently and you can see a pic of them here.

ANYWAY, I ordered these faux septums from eBay and got them a while ago. I've seen many cool people wear this kind of fake piercing lately and thought they looked nice, so I wanted to give them a try as well!

I ordered two different ones, one in gold and one in silver. Both were 6,58€ and the shipping took about one week, so it was pretty fast too. You can find the seller here.

I took some pics of me wearing them, so you can see how they actually look like! I was feeling lazy and didn't feel like doing my hair, so I wore my old wig from last halloween for these pics. In the end, I don't know if it would've been faster to actually wash and do my hair, because the lace front of this wig was more visible in these pics than I would've liked, so I had to fix it with Photoshop.... Well, I hope you don't mind my unnatural hairline in these pics :'D



Here's how the gold one looks like! I think it goes great with a red lipstick and other golden jewelry. Which reminds me, I should buy golden jewelry for my ears as well, because I don't want them to clash if I want to have my hair up and wear this one.

I actually enjoy this kind of ornamental piercing jewelry on septums way more than plain regular ones.



And here's the silver one! I've worn this one a few times outside my aparment already, because silver is much easier to pair with other jewelry I might wanna wear. In these pics I'm also wearing a black liquid lipstick from LA Splash, which I got a while ago. It lasts great and all, but damn it smells bad when I have to apply it :'D Like gasoline or motor oil, ughhhh. So it's name, "Venom" fits pretty well lol.

Both of these septums were actually a little bit too big for my nose, but I was able to fix it easily with a pair of pliers. I mean, they did stay on, but I wanted them to be a bit tighter so I don't have to worry about them falling off.


Anyway, which one did you like better? Or do you like septum piercings at all? Is wearing fake piercings lame or totally cool? Let me know your thoughts in the comment box!♡

Laters!

When reading my outfit posts, you might have noticed I often leave the accessories unlisted when I write where each piece is from. This is because I don't want to make the list too long (and list the same things in every outfit post I write, haha).

I love to see collection posts (about anything, makeup, shoes, hair producst, you name it) in other blogs, so I decided to write this post about my jewelry collection! I tried to remember where I've gotten each one from, but if I didn't remember the brand, I listed some other place where or way how I've gotten it.

Here's what's in my jewelry box!


I'm a 90's kid so my love for chokers is obvious. Couple of these I've had for years and they've been dearly loved, but I'm especially happy how the tattoo chokers have been brought back in fashion lately!

I loved how easy it was to find different chokers from Japan, so the five bottom ones and the white GOH choker are buys from my last trip.

FAVOURITE ONE: The black Ghost of Harlem choker. I've been wearing it for years, it hasn't lost it's colors at all and I still love it to bits. Ghost of Harlem is probably my favourite brand when it comes to jewelry. Their designs are nice, the prices are affordable (about 20-40€/each) and they don't lose their colors in daily wear (with the exception of the black/silver cross on the left of the picture below). I hate when accessories turn to orange, ugh.


What can I say, I love crosses :D I'm not religious in any way, but I love the way they look. I noticed almost all of my longer necklaces are black or gun metal colored (except the YVSF one). Maybe I should target other colors in the future?

FAVOURITE ONE: I'm having hard time deciding between the silver sequin cross by GLAVIL and the black triple chain cross from Ghost of Harlem... I've had the GOH necklace for longer and therefore worn it a lot more, so I guess I'll have to go with that one.


This pic made me realize how small my ring collection is and how I'm desperately in need of silver rings! Why is it that I mostly buy silver necklaces, but almost all of my rings are gold?? My shopping clearly knows no logic at all. And I believe silver and gold are not to be mixed together when it comes to accessories.

I also want to say I was disappointed with the quality of the twin rings by Wildfox. They started losing their color and got some really visible scratches really quickly. Luckily I got these from sale, so it was no big loss.

I also included my earrings in this pic, because I usually only wear piercing jewelry and therefore only have a few pairs. I do have holes in my ears for these kinds of earrings as well, but most of the time I don't bother wearing them because I prefer my having my hair down and they wouldn't be visible anyway.

FAVOURITE ONE: The silver ring with a blue eye in it. I got it from my friend, Tuomas, who originally got it from his friend, who got it from somewhere in Harajuku. It has traveled far :D He didn't want it anymore, so I gave it a new home. It's been my favourite for years now and it's hard to find one I would like more.


I like studs and I like leather, preferably combined. The studs of the monomania bracelet are quite extreme and really sharp, but it looks sooo nice! When I first started wearing this, I accidentally stabbed people when hugging them :'D Now I've learnt that I have to use only one hand when doing so, hahaha.

I've never been a watch -person, but I got this one from Yver Rocher as a gift when I purchased some cosmetics... :D I think it looks nice with sporty outfits! I still don't know how to check time from it though and I'll always check it from my phone anyway.

My wrists are really thin so it's usually impossible for me to wear bracelets that don't allow you to change it's circumference. This is why I don't have any "hard" bracelets that you just slip on to your wrist. They will fall off.

FAVOURITE ONE: The white GOH bracelet with studs, chains and a skull charm. So pretty. And it matches the GOH choker from the first pic!


Well, not a jewelry but accessories anyway, so included them in this post. I love collecting sunglasses and regular glasses without prescription (nothing wrong with my eye sight) and here's what I've gathered so far.

I especially love round glasses and that's how many of my pairs are. I also prefer big glasses with thick frames over small and thin ones. The newest addition to my collection are the transparent Monki sunnies with green/blue mirror lenses.

On a sidenote, I can't stop laughing at my reflection in these glasses.... I tried to hide behind the curtain while taking the pic but as obvious it is, I failed, hahah.

FAVOURITE ONES: Wildfox Bel Air sunnies in white. Unlike the rings I talked about earlier, the quality of these are on point, and luckily so. I drooled over these for a good couple years before I invested in them and they are sooo cool! One of my favourite items ever.


That's it! Do you have any jewelry or accessory item you like to collect? I would also like to know how you store your accessories! I currently have hooks for my necklaces that work just fine, but everything else is a huge mess. Any suggestions?

Kuten varmaan huomasittekin, pidin tässä parin viikon tauon bloggailusta joulusta eteenpäin. Kerkesin juhlia joulua ja uutta vuotta rauhassa sekä täyttää 22 vuotta ! Oon potenut pienoista vaate- ja hiuskriisiä viimeaikoina ja oon viimeisen postauksen jälkeen ottanut mun kameralla valehtelematta alle 10 kuvaa.
Pikku loma blogin parista teki hyvää, nyt on taas uutta intoa bloggailla ja pää vilisee postausideoita ! Odottakaas vaan kun pääsen taas vauhtiin, hihii.

Kotiuduin joululomalta takaisin Helsinkiin siis 27. päivä, menin heti seuraavana päivänä töihin ja töistä päästyäni lähdin kaupoille nuuskimaan alennuksia ! Tässäpä mun löydöt:

As you probably noticed, I took a small break from blogging for the rest of December. I had time to celebrate Christmas and New Year AND I also turned 22 couple days before NYE ! I've been having a small style&hair crisis lately and since my last post, I've only taken less than 10 photos with my camera.
Anyway, a small break did good and now I'm all set up for blogging again and my head is full of ideas for upcoming posts!
Just wait for it, hihii.

I came back to Helsinki on 27th, after Christmas celebrations, the next day I had work and after I got off, I just had to go check the sales ! Here's what I found:
Kiiltävä, ryppyinen biker takki Gina Tricotista lähti 15(!!!) eurolla ja toi mulle mieleen jonkun Visual Kei -bändin mutta eipä se mitään. Eiköhän tälle käyttöä löydy ! Loput löydöt olikin sit Seppälän ja Tiia Vanhatapion yhteistyömallistosta josta kaikki vaatteet jne. oli -30% alessa.

Kaikki nää oli yhteensä alle 50€, voitteko kuvitella? Kerrankin tein oikeesti hyviä löytöjä aleista, viimevuonna en löytänyt muuta kuin normaalihintasia juttuja :D

Shiny, distressed biker jacket from Gina Tricot costed only 15(!!!) euros and it reminded me of some Visual Kei -band but whatever. I'm sure I'll use it ! The rest of my finds are from Seppälä x Tiia Vanhatapio collarboration collection, all 30% off.

All these together were less than 50€, can you believe it? This is like the first time ever I find something from the sales, last year I only found normal priced stuff :D

Uutta vuotta (ja myös mun synttäreitä itseasiassa) vietettiin Oonan kämpillä. Pistettiin kaikki kymppi likoon, joista Alex taikoi meille super hyvät ruoat jälkkäreitä myöten uudeksi vuodeksi !

Oli varmaan oikeen erityisen herkkua koska kaikilla oli kiljuva nälkä ja ruoka valmistui vasta vähän ennen vuoden vaihtumista. Piti hotkia hirveetä vauhtia että kerettiin parvekkeelle poksauttamaan skumppa auki ja tuijottamaan ilotulituksia.

We celebrated New Years Eve (and actually my bday too) at Oona's place. We all gave 10€ for Alex who cooked us tons of delicious food with dessert and stuff !

It was all sooo good, maybe even better than usually because everyone was like starwing and the food wasn't ready much before 12. We had to hurry and eat quickly so we wouldn't miss the moment when the year changes.

Kakkuja ja boolia !

Cakes and punch !

Arvatkaa mitä tässä kuvassa tapahtuu? :D Naurettiin niin kovaa että saatiin poliisit kylään kuudelta aamulla. Joku naapuri oli vissiin häiriintynyt...

Guess what's happening in this pic? :D We laughed so hard we soon got visited by two policemen at 6am.. Some neighbour must've got pissed at us making noise.

....photobooth kuvia :D En tajuu miten nää jaksaa naurattaa aina uudelleen ja uudelleen.

....photobooth pics :D I can't understand how taking these is STILL funny.

10 pistettä ja papukaijamerkki sille joka osaa nimetä kaikki kuvassa olevat henkilöt. En kestä.

I have no words. Can you name all the people in the pic?

Minä, Tuomas ja Niklas vuoden vaihteessa hytisemässä partsilla !

Me, Tuomas and Niklas freezing on the balcony on NYE !

Loppuun vielä pari kavereiden kuvaamaa videota ! Minä leikkaamassa synttärikakkua...

And finally couple videos filmed by my friends ! Me cutting my birthday cake...

...ja se hetki kun vuosi vaihtui !

...and the moment when the year changed !

Kävin eilen pyöriin kaupungilla Tuomaksen ja Sinin kanssa ja metsästin joululahjoja. Kerrankin mulla on kunnon ideat siitä mitä annan kenellekin lahjaksi ! Harmi vaan etten voi niitä vielä tänne laittaa, koska tiedän että ainakin äiti siellä ruudun toisella puolella lukee tätä blogia :)

Mukaan tarttui myös pari pientä juttua itselle mitkä esittelen nyt tässä postauksessa.

I went to check out some stores yesterday with Tuomas and Sini and bought some Christmas presents. For once I actually have good ideas what to give to people, but I can't post them here yet because I know atleast mom is reading this blog :)

Also got couple tiny things for myself which I'm gonna show you in this post.

Ginasta löysin tällasen sormuksen, tai no olin löytäny jo aiemmin mutta ostin vasta nyt. Törkeen hieno ! Päällystin kynsilakalla ja toivon ettei värit lähde karkaamaan ainakaan ihan heti.

Found this ring from Gina Tricot, or well, had found it before actually but didn't buy it until now. So pretty ! I applied a layer of clear top coat to it and I hope it won't lose it's color too soon.

Toinen juttu minkä ostin, oli tää. Tän avulla saan napattua kuvat kamerasta suoraan iPadiin. Kätsy itelle reissussa jos ei jaksa ottaa läppäriä mukaan tai jos haluaa nyysiä kuvat kavereiden kameroista heti mukaan, ettei sit tartte myöhemmin lähetellä.

Olis varmasti saanut netistä halvemmalla, mut en jaksanu alkaa ettimään ja oottelemaan plus tähän sai takuun :)

Another thing I bought, was this. With this I can get photos from any camera to my iPad. Handy if I'm traveling and don't have my laptop with me, or if I wanna steal photos from my friends cameras right away after taking pics, so they don't have to send them to me later.

Could've probably got it cheaper online but I was too lazy to search for it and I have waiitng. Plus I got warranty for this :)


Nyt jäänkin miettimään et mitähän sitä tänään keksis? Oon kuitenkin jo meikannut ja kaikkee niin en haluis jäädä vaan kotiin muhimaan, hmmm.

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do today? I already did my makeup and everything, so it would be a waste to just stay home, hmmm.

Moikka ! Viimeisen vähän reilut 2 kuukautta meni ihan hirmu nopee. Kävin eilen saattamassa Davyn lentokentälle ja tuntuu niin oudolta olla yksin kotona pitkästä aikaa. Kauhee ikävä jäi, mutta jos jotain hyviä puolia pitää keksiä niin ainakin bloggaamiselle on nyt enempi aikaa !

Ainakin luulisin.. vähän pelottaa tää parhaillaan meneillä oleva 2 viikon työputki koska tänä viikonloppuna on I Love Me -messut joilla oon luonnollisestikin töissä CesarsShopin puolesta. Onko kukaan tulossa ko. messuille? Jos joo, niin tulkaa moikkaamaan mua Cesasin osastolle :D Kirjoittelin tänne kartan kera mistä meidät löytää jne.
Messujen takia on ollut aikamoinen kaaos töissä koska kaiken normaalin ohella on pitänyt tehdä hinnastoja, esitteitä, lippulaputtaa tuotteita ja oon askarrellut kaikista meidän osastolle tulevista kynsilakoista ja geeleistä värikartat :D Mutta nyt ollaan aika hyvällä mallilla jo, onneksi !

Jatkan siitä mihin viimekertaisessa postauksessa jäin ja postaan ne lupaamani ostoskuvat vaikka nyt ekaks.

Hi ! The past 2 months and couple weeks went super fast. Yesterday I went to the airport with Davy and had to say goodbye to him. It feels so weird to be home alone after such a long time and I already miss him a lot. But if I have to figure out something positive about this, I hope I'll now have more time for blogging !

Well... I'm a bit scared about that and won't promise anything just yet, because I will now have to work 2 weeks straight because this weekend CesarsShop is attending to I Love Me -expo and I'll be working there obviously.
Because of the expo, it's been quite busy at work lately because aside of the normal daily work, I've been doing all kinds of stuff for it. Price lists, flyers, brochures and I've also made color charts for every nailpolish and gels we're going to sell :D But now it seems like most of the work is done, luckily !

I'll continue to write this post from where I ended the last one. Let's start with pics of the recent buys as I promised you.

Suurin osa näistä onkin jo näkynyt täällä blogissa, vyö ja irtokaulus on sellasii mitä en oo ehtiny vielä käyttämään. Haluisin kauheesti lisää erilaisia neuleita myös.. Mulla on nyt tää ja tää valkoinen, ennen en tykänny yhtään neuleita, koska mielessä pyöri kauhukuvat yläaste aikojen neonvärisistä, korkeakauluksisista Seppälän kutittavista neuleista jotka sai hiukset sähkösiks. Hyi.

Uudet pöksyt tuli myös tarpeeseen, koska oon varmaan aiemminkin sanonut että mulla ei oo muita kuin revittyjä ja/tai valkaisuja housuja... :D No ei nääkään ihan yksväriset oo mut close enough.

Most of these have been seen on my blog already, only the belt and the collar are the ones I haven't used yet. I'd also like to get more sweaters... I only have this and this white one so far. I kinda hated sweaters before because I had a horrendous memory of those neon colored knitted, high-collar sweaters I had on 7th grade which made my hair electric. Ugh.

Also got myself a pair of new jeans, because I've probably told you already that I only have ripped and/or bleached ones... :D Well these aren't solid colored either but close enough.

1. Yks sunnuntai tehtiin tortilloita Alexin luona, meitä oli 8 ihmistä syömässä joten ruokaakin oli hirvee läjä ! Oikeesti kattokaa tota lihan määrää tuolla pannulla ekassa kuvassa... Nauratti.
On one Sunday, we had some tortillas at Alex's. There was 8 of us so the amount of food was huge ! Check out that pile of meat on the pan in the first pic.... hahaha.

2. Onneks Tobi ei joutunut syömään kaikkea yksin :-)
Luckily Tobi didn't have to eat everything alone :-)

Minä ja Davy käytiin Heikin luona torstaina ottamassa kuvia blogilayoutteja varten ! Raahasin läjän vaatteita mukaan, koska en osannut päättää mitä haluan kuviin päälle...

Me and Davy went to Heikki's on Thursday to get some photos taken for blog layouts ! I brought all these clothes with me, because I couldn't figure out what to wear in the photos....

1. Upeat kuvaus olosuhteet ja jesarilla kiinnitetty tausta !!
Glamorous backdrop with duct tape and everything !!

2. Lopputulos.
The result.
Tässä on yks Heikin muokkaama testi shotti mun kuvista. Ah laatu.

Here's one test shot of my photos, edited by Heikki. Oh the quality.

1. Viime perjantaina Davy halus pitää läksiäisbileet itelleen, Heikki tarjos paikan ja teemana oli.. mikäs muukaan kuin Visual kei ja muut ernuilut ! Harkitsin oikeesti että oisin kiskonu jonkun vanhan Uruha cosplayn päälle mut tuntu väärältä koska ei ollu oikeen väristä tukkaa enkä halunnu vetää mitään half-assed cossia.
Päädyin sit random ernuiluun ainakin naaman ja tukan osalta (568A/Akikaze ilmoittautuu, muistaako kukaan? :D Toivottavasti ei..). Mitään kauheen noloja vaatteita mulla ei ollu ni vaatteiden puolesta oli sellaset mitä oisin kyl voinu pitää muutenki...

Last Friday Davy wanted to arrange a farewell party for himself, Heikki offered his place for the party and as a theme we had.... Visual kei and other japanese weeaboo styles ! I was actually considering wearing one of my old Uruha cosplays but it seemed just wrong because my hair was wrong color and I don't like half-assed cosplays.
So I just painted my face, glued some 'piercings' on and did a wannabe j-rock hairstyle... I don't have any embarrassing clothing from my teenager years so what I wore was something I could actually wear on a normal day...

2. Tuomaskin näyttäytyi Comapoppina pitkästä aikaa ja tuntui kuin olisin matkannut ajassa 2 vuotta taaksepäin.
Tuomas also showed up as Comapop, and it felt like I had travelled 2 years back in time.

Krisu, minä ja Davy. Krisu ei pukeutunut mitenkään :( Mut ymmärrän kyllä että parran ajaminen yhen illan takii ois voinu olla ehkä liikaa pyydetty :-D

Krisu, me and Davy. Krisu didn't dress up at all :( But well, I understand that shaving your beard just for one night would've been a bit too much to ask :-D

Being all visual kei and shit with Tuomas. Eyebags are so visual kei.

Lauantaina olikin tiedossa ihan toisenlaiset baardit ! Käväisin illalla A21'ssä nauttimassa parit cocktailit ja kuuntelemassa infoa Publishzerista ! Publishzer on sellanen ohjelma, jolla voi tehdä vähän erilaisia blogipostauksia. Eli tän perinteisen kuvia ja tekstiä jonossa tyylin sijaan saa luotua blogipostauksestta enempi lehden taittoa muistuttavan tekeleen. Aika siistiä !

Saan kutsun tähän lähiaikoina, joten pääsen sitten testailemaan täällä blogin puolella että miten homma toimii, näette sitten !

On Saturday, there was one completely different kind of party ! I visited A21 cocktail lounge on the evening to have couple cocktails and to hear some info about this new 'blogging app', Publishzer ! So instead on the normal way of blogging, you can create magazine like pages with it. So cool !

I'm getting my invite for it soon, so I'll be testing it out in my blog to see how it really works, you'll see then !

Tältä se ns. "postaus" tulisi sit näyttämään esimerkiksi !

Here's an example how the "blog post" woul'd look like !

Illan ohjelmassa oli myös cosmopolitan -drinksun tekemisen ohjeistus...

At the event, they taught us how to make a cosmopolitan....

Ja cosmojen ohella saatiin myös maistella mustaa shampanjaa, Lady Gagan Fame hajuveden lanseeraukseen suunnitelua drinkkiä. Oli ihan super hyvää ! Pohjalla jotain mustaa, mikä maistui vähän mustaherukalta ja lakritsilta. Päällä kerros shampanjaa ja lasin reunoilla lakuströsseleitä, nam !
Harmi että tätä ei saa kuin A21'n vippi-tilaisuuksissa :(

Along with the cosmo's, we got to try Black Champagne, a drink they created for Lady Gaga's Fame perfume's launch party. It was super good ! There was something blackberry/liqourice like on the bottom and a layer of champagne on top, nom !
It's a shame you can only get this at A21 VIP -events :(

Sunnuntaina käytiin Alexin, Sinin ja Davyn kanssa Glorialla seuraamassa KDC'tä jonka jälkeen suunnattiin Amarilloon löhöömään, tilattiin hampurilaiset ja pari kannua Sangriaa. Hyvä viikonloppu !

On Sunday, me, Alex, Sini and Davy went to Gloria, to check out KDC, and afterwards headed to Amarillo to chill, ordered burgers and 2 jugs of sangria. What a nice weekend !


Huhhuh, lupaan etten nyt hetkeen tee tällasi postauksia koko viikon tapahtumista vaan päivitän useemmin. Tänään sain postissa Romwelta pari juttua, esittelen ne teille seuraavassa postauksessa ;-)

Huhhuh, I promise you this will be the last this kind of post for a while now and I'll be updating more often.
Today I got some goodies via mail from Romwe, I'll show them to you in my next post ;-)
