intro

Hi and welcome! This is Black Saliva, a style focused blog written by Viivi Vanessa R.

I'm a 24 year old girl from Helsinki, Finland and this blog is my own little space on the internet where I can share my thoughts, outfits and write a bit about my life and stuff that I do.

For first timers, I'd say take a quick look at ABOUT ME and get to know me a little before browsing through my posts.

Anyway, I hope you like my blog and leave me a comment.

Enjoy your stay!

Buy my clothes!


Whoops. July passed by without zero posts and well, this isn't a proper post yet either, but I thought I'd let you know that I have finally updated my store with some clothes I don't use anymore and I'd be really happy if you'd take a look!

It works the same way as before, just add the item(s) you like to the cart and pay at the checkout. No bidding needed! I'm leaving to Japan in two weeks, so I have time to ship/deliver the orders until 16.9. so keep that in mind.

I'll probably get back to actual blogging from my trip, because I have a lot of stuff that needs to be done before it and I just don't have the time at the moment. So... see you again a bit later! x

vault sandals


Some sharp-eyed readers might have noticed the new shoes in the previous post, but it's okay even if you didn't, because here's some better pictures of them!

I ordered these Vault platform sandals from Unif some time ago and finally got them after agonizing 3 and half weeks long wait. Ugh, their shipping used to take maximum 5 days so I was okay with paying $20 for it. Now they have two shipping options. The cheaper one (which I used) is $18 and the express shipping is quite salty $35. Turns out the pricey express shipping is the same they had before for $20 and the cheaper one takes waayy longer than the promised 1-2 weeks. Boohoo, Unif, why are you doing this to me.

Anyway, the shoes are made of leather, they look pretty rad and.... they're giving me 3 blisters on BOTH feet. I'm currently trying to break them in by wearing band-aids over the spots where I can feel the blisters are most likely to form and walk short distances with them. The leather should give in, but I have no idea how long it will take before they'll be comfy to wear.... If you have any tips, they're more than welcome!

Also, they jingle quite a lot when walking, so sneaking around is pretty much impossible lol.

Damn my bare legs look ugly in these close-ups.

CORM=萌え?

Ahoy! Seems like another cool online store has opened it's interactive doors in Finland recently. Corm.moe's clothing are inspired by Harajuku, future and the internet which is a pretty cool combo, don't you think? And it's definitely something Finland hasn't had before.

I got to pick some of my favourite items from their store and these are the two outfits I put together using those items! Which one do you prefer? I love mesh things so I went wild and picked both, their mesh bomber and the mesh dress haha. I love them. The bomber especially is super cool.

But you know what's even better? Corm actually has a pop-up store in Helsinki at the moment! I went to check it out last week and it was nice to see all the clothes in person and meet the lovely staff who run the store. So if you have time, do check it out! The store can be found at Unioninkatu 25 until the next Sunday.

Here's some pics I took when I visited the store ↓↓↓


Cute, right?! But even if you can't make it to the store this week, no worries! I actually have a discount code for you to make your shopping a bit easier. They currently ship to Sweden, Norway, Denmark, France and the UK besides Finland.

USE CODE "BLACKSALIVA" TO GET 15% OFF FROM YOUR ORDER!
the code expires on 26/07/2015 midnight


If you like their stuff, don't forget to follow Corm on Facebook and Instagram

new iphone + case


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?

OOTD: white lace

This is probably one of my favourite outfits atm, because I feel like it's all I've been wearing lately. It's comfy yet cute and I have most of these items in both black and white, which allows me to mix them with eachother or other items freely. I bought this white lace kimono for the past halloween actually, but have taken a liking on it big time ever since. It didn't have the fringe when I bought it, but I thought it would look nicer with it, so I bought some fringe and sew it to the hem.

I bought another lace kimono some time ago, but this time in black. But it's a bit too long for me, as I can't wear it without heels and not step on it, so I'll might have to shorten it before I can wear it properly. See a pic of it here.

The lipstick is also new! It's called Smoked Purple and it's by MAC. I got it for free when I returned 6 empty cases to them a while ago. It's pretty close to Cyber which I already had, but Cyber isn't matte, so I haven't worn it that much. Colorwise this is a bit warmer shade than Cyber.

花見

Since today was holiday and I had nothing else planned, me, Paris and Nona headed to Roihuvuori, Helsinki to check out the Hanami festival! It was a nice experience, since I haven't seen the cherry blossoms in Japan or anywhere else before.

The cosplay show was pretty much the only thing we kind of checked, but it was nice to just sit in park and stare at other people at the festival haha. I was looking forward to buying some japanese food/snacks at the festival, but it seemed like many of the things were sold out already and the queue to the food stands was way too long, so I didn't bother with it in the end.

Since the location was really pretty, we snapped some outfit pics just before it started raining and we had to leave :'D If the day would've been a bit sunnier/warmer, it would've been nice to hang around for a bit longer.

As for the day's look, I went with light colors and vagina stockings. Yes, you read correct, the print on them is actually a vagina. I think they're really quirky and fun :'D Too bad they've taken some damage on the previous occassions I've worn them, so I can't wear them with sandals anymore but.... oh well.

See ya!

OOTD: mom sweater

sweater unif leggings ghost of harlem shoes y.r.u necklace gina tricot glasses seppälä

A bit more casual outfit this time! This is the kind of outfit I find myself wearing pretty often. A long shirt + leggings combo might just the easiest and comfiest choice for work and hanging out with friends when you have nothing special planned.

I've actually had this sweater for a couple years already, but just realized I've never showed it to you here before! I like it a lot and I have a similar one in yellow which I've worn quite a lot too. Long, baggy shirts/sweaters and tops in general are my favourites because they're so comfy and look good with pretty much any bottom you wanna wear.

Talking about bottoms, I haven't really worn jeans at all for the past year. I prefer short bottoms such as shorts, skirts, rompers etc. Winters can be tricky with short bottoms and jeans often feel too stiff for my liking, so I've become a leggings-person and I'm not even ashamed about it. As long as you cover your bum, I see nothing wrong about wearing leggings as pants :D Thank god summer is coming, so I can soon ditch long bottoms completely.

Btw, taking outfit pics at your studio apartment is surprisingly hard if you don't want to have the same background in every post. Just saying, haha.

See ya!

FAUX SEPTUMS


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!

OOTD: crimped hair & camo print

jacket gina tricot top monki skirt fernopaa shoes scorett
socks fig&viper sunglasses monki necklaces spinns, choies backpack unif

Can I just start by saying I love, love, love this hair? :D It's crimped, it's messy, it's huge and it will be perfect for the next summer, atleast in my opinion! I've been wanting to try a triple barrel curling iron for a while now and I finally bought one earlier this week! In case you want to know, it's by OBH Nordica and it cost me 29,90€ so it wasn't a big investment at all.

I love curly hair, but what annoys me with regular curls is how fast they will straighten out. I'm excited to see how well these will do, especially when it's raining or the weather gets catastrophic in some other way. I've been wearing my hair like this since Tuesday evening and it looks pretty much the same even now so yay, so far so good.

I think I will try out some hairdos with this texture in my hair. I wonder how it will look like?


The weather in Helsinki has finally started warming up slowly, and this week we've had about 5-10ºC! The change in weather has caused me to leave my winter coat at home and damn, how nice it feels to be able to wear something a bit lighter.

The long camo print skirt is something I bought during my last days in Tokyo (because I had some extra ¥ to spend before going home and kinda just grabbed whatever nice things I could find), but haven't worn it until now. Which might have something to do with the fact that my winter coat is also camo print and that would be too much, hahah.

Now that I was able to go out without it, I could finally give a change to this skirt and I like it! Turns out my last minute buy was a good one.


I'll try to get back on track with the outfit posts too, I feel like lately I've been posting about makeup only and I need a change so it won't get boring... See ya again on Tuesday!
