What do you do with your time when you have your first day completely off work, off exams, off everything in months? I for one, planned a little spa trip to Eastern Estonia, to enjoy the summer sun, take in some sea views and book myself a massage. More on my spa adventures in my next post, let's focus on the outfit (and the views!) here.

I had about ten minutes to "plan" this outfit, so I pretty much grabbed what seemed to match (how very "fashion blogger" of me), but exactly what else do you need on a chill summer's day than a white top and an ace pair of jeans. These jeans are a lucky flea market find, feeding my hunger of all things embroidered and I have a feeling that they're going to be my number one pair this summer. Believe it or not, but I've never owned a proper pair of light blue denim!

By the way, if I'd told you that the pictures are taken on a flash trip to Santorini, would you have questioned it? Believe me, there's so many gorgeous, undiscovered little gems hidden around Estonia!

Mida hakata oma ajaga pihta, kui sul on esimene vaba päev mitme kuu jooksul, kui pole tööd, pole kooli, pole mitte midagi korraldada? Mina võtsin selleks puhuks plaani ühe pisikese spa-reisi Ida-Virumaale (mu salajane lemmikkoht Eestis), et nautida täiel rinnal suvepäikest, jahedat mereõhku ja üht korralikku massaaži. Spa-seiklustest olen plaaninud täitsa eraldi postituse, laseme praeguseks särada riietusel (ja merevaadetel!).

Kuna mul oli selle riietuse kokkupanemiseks aega umbes täpselt kümme minutit, siis haarasin selga riided, mis mu peas enam-vähem sobisid, aga mida muud ongi ühel suvepäeval selga vaja kui mõnusat valget pluusi ja ägedat teksapaari? Püksid leidsin muide ühelt kirbuturult ja võite ette kujutada, kuidas ma peaaegu elevusest kilkasin, kui veel seda tikandit märkasin! Kusjuures mul ei ole kunagi olnud ühtegi korralikku heledat teksapaari, aga miski minus ütleb, et just nendest pükstest saab selle suve garderoobihitt.

Muide, kui oleksin teile öelnud, et põgenesin viimase hetke lennuga näiteks Santorini saarele ja tegin need pildid seal, siis kas oleksite mu sõnades kahelnud? Uskuge mind, Eestis on nii palju avastamata ja üllatusi täis pärleid peidus!

Denim Overalls And Spring Talks

Everything about the spring sun makes me want to ditch the coats and gloves and replace them with ruffled blouses and open-toe shoes, but alas, the weather seems to have another understanding of spring and keeps greeting us with freezing temperatures and even a snowstorm here and there. To still have an outlet for my playful side, I turned to the dungarees and embraced toddler dressing to its fullest. These denim overalls have unjustly taken a backseat in my closet after last years blogger's market, only so that I could occasionally google something like "alexa chung denim dungarees" and then realise that I can't make them look nearly as cool on me. 

I gained the courage last week and for a little stroll on the cobblestoned streets of the old town and a little shopping trip I styled the denim dungarees with a new favourite basic top and gave my spring shoes their first outing. It's still probably a bit early for that, but let's keep our fingers crossed that the days of leather jackets are not far! 

Kevadpäikesel on maagiline võime panna mind mõtlema ainult sellest, et ma tahan kindad ja mantlid kus-see-ja-teine visata ning asendada need rõõmsalt satsiliste pluuside ja lahtiste kingadega. Kahjuks aga tundub, et ilmataadil on meiega teised plaanid ja kevadest väheke kõverpeeglis arusaam ning sooja briisi asemel kostitab ta meid hoopis krõbekülmade temperatuuride ja isegi lumetormikestega. Et oma mänguline tuju ikka alles hoida, haarasin satside asemel hoopis teksatunked ja võtsin lapselikku riietumist pea sõna-sõnalt. Millegipärast on need tunked pärast möödunudaastast blogijate kirbukat teenimatult tagaplaanile jäänud. Olen vist ainult paar korda guugeldanud midagi stiilis "aleva chung denim dungarees" ja siis mõistnud, et mul ei ole vähimatki võimalust neid sama normaalselt välja kanda. 

Eelmisel nädalal aga võtsin julguse kokku, suuresti tänu Merlini ägedale postitusele, ja üheks (jahedaks) jalutuskäiguks Tallinna vanalinnas (tere-tere, kevadtuul) panin tunked kokku oma uue lemmiku basic pluusiga ja lasin kevadkingad esimest korda tänavakive maitsma. Ilmselt oli see pisut ennatlik otsus, aga võime ju hoida pöidlad pihus, et nahkjakkide kandmise kevadised päevad ei ole enam kaugel!

How I Found The Perfect Denim Dress... For Less!

You've probably seen this kind of denim dresses around for months now and I predict that they won't be going anywhere, partly kudos to Miss Chung's kick-ass and ultra-covetable denim collection, partly because of the mega-revival of all things seventies. You can bet that my search for the perfect button-up denim dress started on the exact moment I laid my eyes on the ACxAG lookbook. Finding the perfect pieces on a limited budget is a challenge, but not when you have a sister like mine! 

She was visiting Estonia's biggest island with my aunt (in addition to stunning seaside nature, most spas per capita and a medieval castle, that place is known for amazingly good thrift shops) and on yet another second hand haul round sent me a picture of this dress, asking hesitantly is she should buy it. I didn't even bother texting her back, I went straight for the call (I know, it's 2015 and I'm still calling people) and literally forced her to buy the dress, secretly praying she's still in that shop. 

Guess who this dress was meant for and who's been wearing it now? 

Ma usun, et olete sellist teksakleiti viimasel ajal rohkem kui ühel korral näinud ja minu tagasihoidlik ennustus on, et sellised kleidid ei kao veel niipea kuskile, osalt tänu imelise preili Chungi veel imelisemale teksakollektsioonile, osalt sellepärast, et kuumad seitsmekümnendad on tegemas pöörast tagasitulekut. Võite kihla vedada, et ma hakkasin endale sellist kleiti otsima sekundipealt siis, kui seda esimest korda Alexa teksakollektsiooni piltide hulgas nägin. Ja teate küll, kui raske on leida miskit, millest on peas (ja Instagramis) nii kindel arusaam kujunenud, eriti siis, kui eelarve on paljuski piiratud. Aga mitte siis, kui teil on selline õde nagu mul!

Ta oli mu tädiga parasjagu Saaremaal (ja kõik teavad, et lisaks hingematvatele merevaadetele, tihedale spa-asustusele ja Kuressaare kindlusele on Eesti suurim saar kuulus ka vingete kaltsukate poolest) järjekordsel kaltsuka-tiirul ja saatis mulle pildi sellest kleidist, küsides pisut kahtlevalt, kas ta peaks selle ostma või mitte. Ma isegi ei viitsinud talle tagasi kirjutada, vaid haarasin kohe telefoni ja helistasin, peaaegu nõudes, et ta selle kleidi ostaks ning salamisi lootes, et ta ikka veel samas poes on. 

Arvake ära, kellele see kleit alguses mõeldud oli ja kes seda nüüd kannab!

To Buy Or Not To Buy: Denim Skirts

left: H&M denim skirt, 30 euros

right: Style Moi denim skirt, about 20 euros

You know the seventies trend that's been lurking around and the amazeballs collection that only my dream closet owner Alexa Chung created for AG Jeans? Well all that put together with some peer pressure from my favourite bloggers equals in this: I need a denim skirt. Not the weird ripped 2002 one that I promised I'd never wear, but the cool A-line skirt. As my absolute favourite blogger Olivia from What Olivia Did put it, the denim skirt is the new denim shorts. I've narrowed it down to two: one from H&M and one from my favourite online shop Style Moi (besides ASOS, ofc!). 

The prices are quite comparable 30€ vs 20€, although here the Style Moi one is the winner. I love its girlie fit too, but the buttoned one is more "on trend". But then again, I already have a similar navy blue buttoned skirt, just not in denim (see it here). One point speaking for the H&M skirt is that I could wear it instantly, I'd have to wait a few weeks until the Style Moi skirt arrives. 

I know that I want one for this summer, which seems to have started already (Hello, June!), but which one! Help! 

Teate küll, et seitsmekümnendad hiilivad moemaailmas ringi ja olete ju näinud seda megalahedat kollektsiooni, mille mu unistuste kapi omanik Alexa Chung disainis teksafirmale AG Jeans? Need kaks kokku pandud minu lemmikblogijatelt tuleva imepisikese survega tähendab seda, et mul on vaja teksaseelikut. Mitte sellist ristkülikukujulist ja narmendavat seelikut aastat 2002, vaid armsat ja ägedat A-lõikelist. Mu lemmikblogija Olivia blogist What Olivia Did ütles, et teksaseelik on uus teksalühkarid ja tal on täiesti õigus. Praegu olen suutnud valiku taandada kahele seelikule: üks H&Mist ning teine minu lemmiknetipoest (peale ASOSe muidugi!) Style Moist. 

Hinnad on neil suhteliselt võrdsed, 30 eurot vs 20 eurot, kuigi siin osas jääb Style Moi seelik peale. Mulle meeldib selle plikalik lõige ka, aga H&Mi oma on trendikam. Samas mul on juba selline nööpidega tumesinine seelik, lihtsalt see pole teksast (vaata siit). H&Mi kasuks räägib see, et seda seelikut saaksin kohe kanda, teist peaksin paar nädalat ootama ja kes teab, kas siis veel suvegi on. 

Ma tean kindlalt, et tahan endale suveks sellist seelikut, aga kumb! Aidake!

First Blossoms

Every day I realise more and more why spring is my favourite season. It's not only because I have my birthday in April, but it's the smell of fresh air after a long winter, it's the green grass after a few April showers, it's the first blossoms and pretty blooms in the parks, it's the sunshine that allows you to take the coat off and it's the carefree vibe that makes me procrastinate everything I have to do.

So I'll keep this post short and go study for an exam, prepare a blog post (a very special one!), do some work and prepare for a fashion show. And pet my cat. My family decided to get a cat and she's the cutest little purr-ball!

Iga päev avastan aina uuesti ja uuesti, miks just kevad mu lemmikaastaaeg on. Tõsi, mu sünnipäev on aprillis, aga lisaks sellele teevad kevade imeliseks värske õhk pärast pikka talve; see, kuidas muru hakkab pärast esimesi vihmasabinaid rohetama; kuidas pungadest päev-päevalt lehed saavad; esimesed lilleõied parkides ja aedades; päike, mis lubab mantli kasvõi korraks seljast võtta ja see ülimalt muretu meeleolu, mis paneb kõiki kooli- ja tööasju edasi lükkama. 

Seega tõmbangi sellele postitusele siinkohal joone alla ja lähen õpin eksamiks, teen valmis ühe eriti erilise blogipostituse, teen õige pisut tööd ja panen end õhtuseks Marimo moesõuks valmis. Ja teen oma kassile pai. Minu pere otsustas sel kevadel kassi võtta ja meie Roosi on tõeliselt armas nurrupall!

Shopping List: Denim Overalls

Happy Sunday, friends! I'm currently planning to tackle all of Sunday's chores and trying to figure out a plan for next week's blog posts. Believe me, I have so much to show you that it seems that for the first time I could have 5 posts in drafts. Crazy!

First I wanted to show you another shopping list post, this time dedicated to the fun trend of overalls. They're not for toddlers and pregnant ladies anymore! I currently have two pairs of denim overalls, plus a few too many jumpsuits. Putting together this post, I thought that maybe I could get that cute polka dot one from Asos and maybe the sleeved one too... It's a dangerous road, guys!

Ilusat pühapäeva, sõbrad! Üritan praegu hakkama saada kõikide pühapäevaste kohustustega ja planeerida järgmise nädala blogipostitusi. Uskuge mind, mul on nii palju asju, mida näidata ja millest rääkida, et mul võiks vabalt viis postitust mustandina salvestatud olla. Hullumeelne! 

Ennekõike tahtsin näidata järjekordselt šoppamise postitust, seekord pühendatud tunkede lõbusale trendile. Need ei ole enam ainult lasteaialastele ja rasedatele daamidele! Mul on kapis praegu kaks paari traksipükse, üht neist nägite mu eelmistes kirbukapostitustes, teisi järgmisel nädalal. Seda postitust kokku pannes hakkas see täpiline Asose paar mulle väga meeldima ja äkki oleks seda varrukatega kostüümi ka vaja... See tunkede tee on ohtlik! 

Zara ripped dungarees 49.95€ - Zara short dungarees 39.95€ - Seppälä dungaree 39.95€ - Warehouse playsuit via Asos 43.83€ - H&M playsuit 29.99€ - Sugarhill Boutique dungarees via Asos 34.25€

Cotton Eye Blogger

Firstly, I'm glad to see that you guys liked my last post! The bloggers' flea market went really well and it's always such a great feeling to see the hard work and moody moments spent planning turn into a really nice event.

You've probably seen the outfit too, if you've seen the last post, but I just had to have it captured. I felt so comfortable and so cool all day, that I needed to capture that feel on photos. It seems quite impossible for me too, to feel cool in a pair of dungaree denim, but if Alexa can do it (proof here), I can do it! Even though in the morning, when my sister saw my outfit, she suggested adding a straw hat to match the farmer look. 

I skipped the straw and went for classic Breton pattern instead. With red lips and leopard shoes there are so many classics that this outfit just must work out!

Esiteks on mul hea meel näha, et teile meeldis mu eelmine postitus. Moeblogijate kirbuturg läks tõesti hästi ja see on alati nii hea tunne, kui kogu raske töö ja tujukad planeerimishetked muutuvad üheks imeliselt lahedaks ürituseks. 

Kui olete postitust näinud või mu Instagrami jälginud, siis olete ilmselt seda riietust ka juba näinud. Siiski, pidin selle ametlikult blogipiltidele ka jäädvustama, sest ma lihtsalt tundsin end terve päeva nii ägedalt ja nii mugavalt. Ostsin selle tunkekomplekti paar päeva enne kirbukat Sikupilli Seppälä outletist ekstra eesmärgiga neid pühapäeval kanda. See pood on imeline, muide! Olin tunkesid paar nädalat tagasi 12 euroga müügis näinud, kuid eelmisel nädalal leidsin ainult 45eurosed tunked. Küsisin ja müüja tõi need mulle spetsiaalselt laost ära ning imekombel oli ka minu suurus alles! Tunnistan, olin alguses pisut skeptiline, aga mõtlesin, et kui mu suur riietumisiidol Alexa asjaga hakkama saab (tõestusmaterjal on siin), saan mina ka. Kuigi hommikul, kui mu õde mu riietust nägi, soovitas ta mul ameerika talunikele sarnasele kogu riietusele veel õlgedest müts lisada. 

Jätsin õled välja ja valisin hoopis klassikalise triibumustri. Punaste huulte ja leopardimustriliste kingadega koos oli kogu riietuses niivõrd palju klassikat, et see lihtsalt pidi töötama. Omajagu enesekindlust ja lahedust lisasid muidugi ka need imeilusad Salon+'i juuksurite meisterdatud lokid.

Denim and lace DIY

I spent a few relaxing days at my aunt's in the countryside and finally had time to take on a little DIY project that had been on my mind for quite some time. Remember the newly thrifted denim jacket from this post? Somehow it seemed too bland to me and I thought that a little lace would give it that nice Marant-inspired cowboy kick. My aunt so graciously let me use her lace leftovers (from her wedding dress, by the way!) and I spent a lovely day in the sun, sewing like there's no tomorrow. As I was already at it, my denim shorts got a bit of a makeover too.

I'm going to Positivus festival on Friday, so there will be a bit of a break in my posts, while I spend time listening to the likes of Two Door Cinema Club, Tom Odell and The XX and dancing my ass off! Of course, these two summer essentials are coming with me to Positivus!

Veetsin paar rahulikku päeva tädi juures maal ja sain lõpuks aega üks kauaplaneeritud käsitööprojekt kätte võtta. Mäletate veel minu kaltsukast leitud teksajakki siit postitusest? Millegipärast tundus see mulle natuke igavavõitu ja arvasin, et õlgadele pisut pitsi lisades saab jakk veidi Isabel Marantist inspireeritud kauboilikku särtsu juurde. Sain vaba voli kasutada oma tädi pitsijääke (mis on muidu tema pulmakleidi õmblemisest jäänud!) ja veetsin mõnusa päeva õues päikese käes, õmmeldes, nagu ei oleks homset. Kuna ma juba olin asjaga tegelemas, said ka mu teksapüksid väikese muutuse.

Reedel lähen Positivus festivalile, seega tuleb postitustesse väike paus, samal ajal, kui ma veedan aega kuulates selliseid toredaid muusikuid nagu Two Door Cinema Club, Tom Odell ja The XX ja tantsides elu eest! Loomulikult tulevad need kaks suvist riideeset minuga kaasa!

This post is part of the weekly IFB project.

One dress, three outfits #2

Here's the second part of my "dress versatility challenge". For some reason, this outfit reminded me of Taylor Swift, a lot. As I put it on, a mixtape of her songs started to play in my head. And I'm not just saying that to sound witty, it actually happened! So if there are any massive Swifty fans reading this post, I apologise for any misconceptions I might have about her. But, since this post is so overly cheeky and girlie and reminiscent of a pop-princess, let's play a game! I want you to count all the Taylor Swift song references in this post and let me know in the comments! The one who counts the most, will get a special shout-out in the next post and a lot of glory for their awesome knowledge.

On to the actual outfit! The dress kind of styles itself on its own. Every idea I had, fit with it perfectly. My second idea for this dress was to pair it with Converse sneakers and some denim and lace. OK, Taylor would never wear Converse, like.. ever. I guess she only wears short skirts while I wear sneakers with them too. I got the jacket on a recent trip to the thrift shops and I just had to save this cute little number from its probable destiny of one day lying on the cold hard ground, forgotten by everyone and completely devastated. I also got that bowtie, but paired with the outfit, it makes me feel rather 12 instead of 22.

This is by far the most fun I've ever had while writing a post and I hope you enjoyed the game as much as I did! Looking forward to your answers!

See on minu teine "tõesta, et kleit on mitmekülgne" postitus. Millegipärast meenutas see komplekt mulle tohutult Taylor Swifti ja seda selga pannes hakkasid kohe peas tema lood mängima. Ingliskeelses osas on tänu sellele ka vahva mänguke! Eesti keeles see kahjuks ei töötaks.

Igatahes, minu teine idee kleidi kandmiseks oli panna see kokku oma valgete tennistega ning teksa ja pitsiga. Sain selle jaki ühelt hiljutiselt kaltsukatuurilt ja ei suutnud seda sinna niisama vedelema jätta! Lipsukese sain ka samal päeval ja tundus kuidagi õige neid koos kanda.
