We'll have Halloween on Christmas

October 31, 2012

Yes, today is the All Hallows' Evening and this is my version of a very wearable Halloween costume. Notice how the colours are red, black and white and there's a bitten apple on my necklace. Does that remind you of any particular fairytale character?
I didn't plan on doing any kind of dressing up, but when this necklace arrived from Rings&Tings, it made me think of how appropriately Snow-White this is. So I built my whole outfit around the necklace and pretended to be a princess for a day. Minus the 100 years of sleep part. But, just to be safe, I didn't eat any apples today.
Who did you dress up as for Halloween?

Täna on kurikuulus nõidade öö ja ka mina riietusin veidi kostümeeritumalt kui tavaliselt. Panete tähele, et minu riietuse värvid on punane, valge ja must ja mu kaleakee on hammustatud õun? Kas see ei meenuta teile mõnda kindlat muinasjutukangelast?
Ma tegelikult ei plaaninud üldse Halloweeni jaoks mingitki kostüümi planeerida, aga kui minu pakk Rings&Tingsist kohale jõudis ja seal sees see vava kaelakee oli, hakkasin kohe Lumivalgukese peale mõtlema. Seega ongi kogu outfit sellest kaelakeest inspireeritud.
Kas te riietusite Halloweeni jaoks kellekski?

Welcome, weekend

October 26, 2012

This is probably the comfiest outfit that you'll ever see on the blog- jeans and a sweatshirt. I went thrift shopping on Tuesday and found this cool GAP sweatshirt and of course I had to wear it immediately! I also bought 2 sweaters to protect me from the cold, among other things.
Also, since I decided that my blue jeans are oh-so-boring, I pumped them up a bit. A few hours of sewing pearls and sequins and voila- I like my jeans again and want to wear them all the time!
In other news, it's already the weekend, which means that it's the end of my one-week-break from school. And the snow is here, which is kind of an unpleasant surprise. Oh, and I went to the hairdresser's on Monday and had my hair dyed back to brunette. I had kind of got sick of the ombré, so I'm back to brown now.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Ma polegi vist nii mugavat outfiti kunagi blogisse postitanud- lihtsalt teksad ja pusa. Käisin teisipäeval väikesel kaltsukatuuril ja leidsin selle vahva GAPi pusa ning loomulikult pidin kohe seda ka kandma. Muuhulgas ostsin ka 2 uut kampsunit, et end selle külma eest kaitsa. Kuidas teile lumi meeldib, kallid kaasmaalased?
Veel, kuna ma otsutasin, et tavalised sinised teksad on liiga tavalised, siis ma veidi täiendasin neid. Mõned tunnis pärlite ja litrite õmblemist ja voila- ongi nagu uued püksid kohe!
Väga kahju, et juba nädalavehtus tuleb, sest see tähendab ju vaheaja lõppu... Muide, esmaspäeval käisin juuksuris ja lasin juukdsed tagasi brünetiks värvida. Mul oli ombrést kuidagi isu täis saanud ja olengi jälle pruun.
Igatahes, toredat nädalavahetust teile!

When the leaves began to change..

October 23, 2012

Finally getting round to posting the full outfit that was taken on the day when we took the pretty portraits. This kind of outfit is practically my uniform these days. I can't stress enough how much of a staple a basic beige trench-coat is in every wardrobe. I'm so happy about mine and I've worn it for years already. What's even better, I got it at a flea market for a ridiculously small price, so the cost per wear is close to nothing.
Worn with simple black jeans, a classic bag and a pair of flats, it's the perfect casual outfit for a Sunday.. or every day.

Lõpuks on mul aega ka terve outfit postitada. Selline riietus on täielikult minu igapäevane vorm. Ma ei saa ilmselt piisavalt rõhutada seda, kui oluline ja vajalik on tavaline beež mantel igas garderoobis. Ma olen enda oma üle eriti õnnelik ja olen seda juba mitu aastat kandnud ka. Eriti toredaks teeb selle asjaolu, et ma sain mantli kirbuturult täiesti naeruväärse hinna eest, seega on see ennast juba täielikult tasa teinud. 
Lihtsate mustade teksadega, klassikalise koti ja madalate kingadega on see kokku igati tore pühapäevariietus.. või igapäevane riietus.

Social butterfly

October 21, 2012

A quick Sunday post to let you all know that I finally made a Facebook page for my blog. It's kind of as a celebration of reaching 300 followers, so if all of you would like to like my page it's right HERE.
In addition to notifying about new posts, I'll also share the pictures I post to twitter, pictures that don't make the cut to my posts and definitely some movie, music and book recommendations.
Have a great Sunday, everyone!

Üks kiire pühapäevane postitus, et anda teile kõigile teada, et ma tegin lõpuks oma blogile ka Facebooki lehe! Mingil määral on see ka tähistamaks 300 followeri täitumist, seega kui te tahaksite like'ida Bowtie Diary lehte, siis see on SIIN.
Peale selle, et ma hakkan teavitama uute postituste ilmumisest blogisse, postitan ma sinna ka igasuguseid pilte, mis blogisse ei jõua ning kindlasti ka muusika-, filmi- ja raamatusoovitusi.
Ilusat pühapäeva jätku!


Portraits of a fall day

October 18, 2012

Before I post the photos of my outfit that we took over the weekend, I decided to share these portraits first. I absolutely love the golden feel that fall has. So we decided to go a bit crazy with the leaves and weird faces and these lovely pictures turned out!
By the way.. I started thinking about my favourite season and I really can't name one. I thought that it's spring, because it's my birthday then and everything is pretty and blooming, but fall is equally amazing until it gets all gross and grey. Winter is so cute, when the first snow falls down and the magic of Christmas is unbeatable! And of course summer, because of the warm sun and the sea and the carelessness. In conclusion, I think that naming a favourite season is impossible in my case.. What's your favourite season?

Otsustasin enne järgmist outfit'i postitust jagada hoopis neid portreepilte, mille me eelmisel nädalavahetusel tegime. Ma absoluutselt armastan seda imelist kuldset aurat, mis sügisel on. Seega otsustasime lehtedega natuke hulluks minna ja lollitada ja vaadake, mis toredad pildid välja tulid!
Muide, ma hakkasin mõtlema, mis mu lemmikaastaaeg on ja ma vist ei suuda ühtegi valida. Tegelikult olen kogu aeg arvanud, et selleks on kevad, sest siis on mu sünnipäev ja kevade ärkamise võlu on tõeliselt tore. Samas on sügis ka väga ilus, nii kaua kuni see muutub rõvedaks ja halliks. Talv on armas, kui esimene lumi tuleb ja jõulude maagiat vist ei ületa miski. Ja loomulikult suvi, oma sooja päikese, merevee ja muretuse pärast. Seega, minu lemmikaastaaja leidmine on võimatu.. Mis on teie lemmikud?

Spring Awakening / Kevadine ärkamine

October 15, 2012

Just a head's up, today's post is slightly different from my usual ones.
About a week ago, last Sunday, I went to the theatre. Not a very special occasion for me, but this time it was special. The girl who played the lead role is my best friend. In addition to being an incredible actress and an incredible friend, she is also my blog's photographer. She is the key ingredient behind every outfit post, because without her and her amazing camera, this blog wouldn't probably exist.
Maybe you have heard about the smash-hit Broadway musical "Spring Awakening", maybe not. It is a story about the youth of the 19th century, unaware of their feelings and of how life works. It's a story about discovering themselves and just as quickly losing what they had found. On Broadway, the lead role was played by Lea Michele, in Estonia's adaption it is played by Getter Meresmaa. We always knew that she would eventually turn out to be an actress, but none of my friends would have guessed that it would be so soon. We went to see the premiere and it was absolutely stunning. All the energy and the magic happening on stage was unbelievable. Words can't express how proud I am of her.
I leave with some pictures of the play and the only picture I could find of the overemotional friends gathering around Getter just minutes after she had got off stage, tearing up and smiling at the same time (just as I am now..)

Lihtsalt väikese hoiatusena, tänane postitus on minu tavalistest üpriski erinev.
Umbes nädal aega tagasi, eelmisel pühapäeval, käisin ma teatrin. See pole minu puhul just eriti ebatavaline sündmus, kuid sel korral oli see tõesti eriline. Nimelt peaosas oli minu parim sõbranna. Peale selle, et ta on vapustav näitleja ja suurepärane sõber, on ta ka mu blogi fotograaf. Ta on täiesti asendamatu taustajõud iga postituse taga ning ilma temata seda blogi sellisel kujul ilmselt ei eksisteeriks.
Loodetavasti olete kuulnud muusikalist "Kevadine ärkamine" või näinud linnas selle veidi provokatiivseid plakateid. See on lugu 19.sajandi noortest, kellel pole aimugi oma tunnetest ega sellest, kuidas asjad maailmas tgelikult käivad. See on lugu eneseavastamisest ja sama kiirelt ka kõige leitu kaotamisest. Broadway'l mängis peaosa Glee-staar Lea Michele, Eesti versoonis on selleks ei keegi muu kui Getter Meresmaa. Me teadsime tegelikult kogu aeg, et temast saab lõpuks näitleja, kuid keegi meie sõprusringkonnast ei osanud arvata, et see nii kiiresti juhtub. Loomulikult käisime esietendust vaatamas ja see oli täiesti vapustav. Kogu lavaline energia ja maagia oli lummav. Ei ole sõnu iseloomustamaks seda, kui uhke ma Getteri üle olen. Kui te veel ei ole endale piletit soetanud, siis kindlasti tehke seda. Kui juba olete vaatamas käinud, minge veel (mina igatahes lähen!).
Lõpetuseks jätan teile paar imeilusat pilti etendusest ja ainukese pildi mille ma suutsin leida Getteri ümber kogunevatest üliemotsionaalsetest sõpradest, kes üritavad samal ajal nutta ja naerda (nagu minagi praegu..).

Sponsor Spotlight : Rings & Tings

October 12, 2012

I'm very happy to introduce you to my newest sponsor, this time a lovely online shop with it's main focus on jewellery, but which also sells cool clothes and bags. It's called Rings&Tings and you can find the whole shop here!
I think that everyone can find something for their taste in that shop. There are fabulous show-stopping pieces (shoulder chain, anyone?), cool collar necklaces, amazing statement-making bracelets, casual and minimalistic rings and necklaces and of course all things decorated with spikes and studs. Take your pick! As for the prices, you won't believe how affordable they are. Instead of buying a necklace from an overprices high-street store, buy 3 from Rings&Tings and I'm not joking. You have to check out the shop just for that.
I picked my favourite items too, check them out below!

Mul on jällegi väga hea meel tutvustada teile oma uut sponsorit. Seekord on see üks imeline veebipood, mis on peamiselt ehtepood, kuid müüb ka palju toredaid riideid ja kotte. Poe nimi on Rings&Tings ja see asub siin.
See on küll selline pood, kus ilmselt igaüks leiab endale midagi sobivat. Neil on suurepäraseid statement-ehteid, minimalistlikke ja tagasihoidlikke asju ja loomulikult erinevad kolmnurkadega, neetidega, pealuudega ehted. Ainult tehke oma valik! Ja hindade poolest on Rings&Tings eriti rahakotisõbralik ning väärib kasvõi selle pärast ülevaatamist.
Minu lemmikuid sellest poest näete allpool!

Tom Odell- Another love
(the magical opening song from Burberry's show)

The beautiful golden days of autumn are here! I feel like walking around with a huge smile all the time, because the trees just look wonderful. So how could I not feature that in my post?
And how pretty is my new dress from Oasap? I adore the nude chiffon sleeves, which makes a simple black dress so much more special. I'm usually not the one to wear clothes without a defined waistline, but this dress seems to work for me. I paired it with simple accessories, such as my favourite flats and my key ring and it all came together with a cute preppy Alexa Chung vibe, don't you think?

Lõpuks ometi on imeline kuldne sügisaeg siin! Tahaksin kogu aeg totaka naeratusega ringi kõndida, sest ümbrus on lihtsalt nii ilus. Loomulikult pidi see mingil viisil kajastuma ka mu postituses..
Ja mu uus kleit Oasapist on ka absoluutselt võrratu! Läbipaistvad šifoonvarrukad teevad selle tavalise musta kleidi palju erilisemaks ja toredamaks. Samuti imestan, et selle kleidi lõige mulle sobib, kuna tavaliselt ma väldin asju, millel ei ole kindlat vöökohta. Kandsin kleidiga koos lihtsaid aksessuaare, oma lemmikbaleriinasid ja isetehtud võtmesõrmust ja kõik kokku tuli sellise armsa Alexa Chungiliku meeleoluga.

Falling for fall

October 02, 2012

Since it is already October and I have no outfit photos to show you (because of the constant rain and my annoying illness), I thought it would be only proper to post a few inspirational pictures. Fall is such a beautiful season and kind of the last happy place before a long and cold winter.
This year I'm really falling for all kinds of plaids and the comfy kind of New-English countryside living, à la Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger. And an abundance of warm sweaters and all things preppy, of course. Fall wouldn't be complete without a proper dose of preppy.

Kuna on juba oktoober ja mul pole kahjuks teile ühtegi outfiti näidata (ilm ei ole eriti koostööaldis ja pealegi olen haige ka), siis otsustasin panna kokku hoopis ühe toreda inspiratisoonipostituse. Sügis on tõeliselt ilus aeg ja peaaegu nagu viimane tore koht enne pikka ja külma talve.
Sel aastal meeldivad mulle eriti igasugused ruudumustrid ja mugav uusinglaslik elustiil, mis oli suurepäraselt kajastatud Tommy Hilfigeri ja Ralph Laureni kampaaniates. Ning otseloomulikult pehmete kampsunite mõnus võlu ja kõik preppy-stiiliga seonduv, sest sügis ei oleks ilma preppy'ta õige värk.
