Boyfriend jeans, literally

September 29, 2014

On a Sunday morning, when regular jeans were just not enough, I turned to something I'd been wanting to try for quite some time. The Boyfriend Jeans. There's nothing shocking about that, I know, but I'm just not that brave when it comes to sartorial innovation. That's also why I didn't buy a pair of jeans that I might just wear a few times, but actually wore my boyfriend's jeans. He didn't seem to mind and with a pair of heels they look a lot more okay-er than I'd imagined. 

Pühapäeva hommikul, kui tavalised teksapüksid ei olnud enam piisavad, valisin hoopis midagi, mida olin pikka aega tahtnud katsetada. Poiss-sõbra Teksad. See pole mingi uus trend, aga ma ei kipu riiete osas kõige innovaatilisem olema. Sellepärast ma ka ei ostnud endale üht paari pükse, mida kannan võib-olla paar korda, vaid võtsingi püksid päriselt poiss-sõbra kapist. Tal ei olnud midagi selle vastu ja kontskingadega näevad need isegi väga okeid välja.

Tourist history

February 22, 2014

Two Door Cinema Club - Come Back Home

Right after I got off the plane from Dublin, I hopped on a bus to Tallinn and then to Tartu, spent a bit more than 24 hours there and off I was again. This time on the bus to Tallinn to take the ferry to Stockholm. As I mentioned, I was going to see Bombay Bicycle Club, but during the day we were the perfect tourists: walked around town, got lost, found two amazing cafes, almost visited the art museum and took lots of pictures.
My outfit for the day? As comfortable and warm as can be, grabbing some new items I bought from Dublin, like this super soft plaid shirt and tourist-friendly flat boots and combining them with this winter's (and all-time) favourites - skinny black jeans and that warm parka. 
The backdrop for these pictures is simply ideal, so is the light and the city of Stockholm. It keeps getting prettier every time I go there...

Kohe pärast Dublini lennukilt maha tulemist istusin Tallinna bussi peale, siis sõitsin Tartusse, olin seal pisut üle 24 tunni ja asusin uuesti teele. Seekord bussiga Tallinnasse, et minna Rootsi laeva peale. Mainisin ka, et käisin Stockholmis Bombay Bicycle Clubi kontserdil, aga päeval olime kõige standardsemad turistid: kõndisime vanalinnas, eksisime ära, leidisme kaks lahedat kohvikut, peaaegu käisime kunstimuuseumis ja tegime palju pilte. 
Minu riietus nendeks päevadeks oli nii mugav ja soe kui võimalik. Haarasin mõned uued Dublinist ostetud asjad nagu see mõnus ruuduline pluus ja turistisõbralikud madalad saapad ning kombineerisin need enda selle talve (ja üleüldiste) lemmikutega: kitsad mustad teksad ja mõnus soe parka. 
Nende piltide taust on lihtsalt võrratu, valgus on imeline ja Stockholm ka. See linn läheb iga korraga aina ilusamaks...

Last days at school

April 22, 2013

Daft Punk- Get Lucky


These days are my last days as an ordinary high school student, my lessons are officially over on Thursday already. Then begins a period of exams and then... life at high school is over. So I'm taking the most of my last days at school and using them as an excuse to dress like I'm actually Blair Waldorf. With nerdy glasses and a 70s plaid blazer. Channeling her inner Austin Powers with the ruffles on my sleeves.
On a very happy note- spring is here! I can finally wear my coat without buttoning it and my scarf just loosely hanging around my neck. It also means that I can break out all of my wonderful spring shoes. The first ones that got to go out for a walk were these beautiful burdungy loafers. It seems that they will be a perfect replacement for last summer's pair.
Also, I'm so obsessed with Daft Punk's new tune. It's so incredibly funky. And it kind of matches with the 70s Annie Hall vibe going on in this post.

Praegu on möödumas minu viimased päevad tavalise gümnaasiumiõpilasena. Viimased tunnid on juba neljapäeval ja siis algavad eksad. Ja siis.. ongi elu õpilasena läbi. Seega ma kasutan seda aega õigustusena, et kanda riideid, mille järgi võiks järeldada, et ma olen tegelikult Blair Waldorf. Kes kannab prille ja 70ndate stiilis ruudulist pintsakut. Ja ei ole kaotanud sidet oma sisemise Austin Powersiga, kui satsiliste varrukaotste järgi otsustada.
Üleüldse, ma ei saaks vist olla õnnelikum, et kevad on lõpuks kätte jõudnud! Ma saan kanda mantlit hõlmad lahti ja salli ainult kergelt ümber kaela lehvimas. Kevad tähendab ka seda, et ma saan lõpuks kingakarpidest välja võtta oma kaunid kevadkingakesed ja nendega mööda Tallinna tänavaid patseerida. Esimesed, kes asfalti tunda said, olid need võrratud tumepunased loafersid, mis tundub, et suudavad väga edukalt eelmise suve paari asendada. 
Lõpetuseks pean lihtsalt mainima, kui väga mulle Daft Punk'i uus laul meeldib! See on nii funky. Ja sobib vahvalt selle postituse Annie Hall'iliku stiiliga.

On again, off again

March 19, 2013

So, I'm sitting here and wondering, if the cold feeling in my bones will ever disappear. Today was so lovely and sunny and all I wanted to do was take off my coat and let the sun near me. Sadly, icy wind decided to come out to play and ruined all the fun. If I hadn't had my newest piece of clothing on me *khkm, thermals underneath* , there would probably be a Piia-sized icicle in that park. 
On a more fashion-forward note, I recently bought something that's actually visible on these pictures- a much-needed pair of black jeans and that cute little cross body bag, both from Lindex. I had been searching for a great pair of black skinnies for ages and after going to every decent store in Tallinn, I settled for the second best pair. The bag is just a little bonus, which caught my eye while leaving the shop. On sale and on my wishlist- it came home with me.
You know that until the weather gets better, every post will contain some whining about the cold and winter. You're welcome to join.

Istun siin ja mõtlen, et kas see külmatunne mu luudest kunagi ära ka kaob. Täna oli tõesti kena ja päikseline ja ma oleksin nii väga tahtnud ilma mantlita käia ja lasta päiksel end paitada. Kahjuks tahtis kõigest osa saada ka tõeliselt jäine tuul, mis rikkus kogu lõbu ära. Kui mul poleks olnud mu viimast ostu *khkm, termopluus*, siis oleks seal pargis Piia-suurune jääpurikas.
Siiski-siiski, olen ostnud ka midagi, mis päriselt on neil piltidel näha- ülivajalik paar musti teksaseid ja see armas õlakott, mõlemad Lindexist. Ma otsisin perfektset paari teksaseid nii kaua, käies Tallinnas läbi kõik põhilised poed, aga kuna ma ideaalset paari siiski ei leidnud, pidin leppima nendega, mis olid. Kott on kuidagi boonusena, nägin seda alles poest lahkudes. Kuna see oli allahinnatud ja mu wishlistis, siis tuligi minuga kaasa.
Te ilmselt juba olete aru saanud, et niikaua kuni ilm paremaks läheb, sisaldab iga postitus ilma-teemadel vingumist. Siiski kutsun teid endaga liituma!

The story of a coat

February 15, 2013

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis- Thrift Shop

Usually, when a new item appears on my wishlist - mental, written down or the on on the blog - I don't go to the shops trying to find that exact item. I prefer to wait for the item to find me. Maybe I'm lazy, maybe it's meant to be. This coat is a great example of my mentality. Some time ago I kind of got bored of my grey parka and the cape is a bit too fancy to be worn literally every day, so I decided that I need a new winter coat, one that's a bit more interesting and still casual. So, when my friends and I took a little road-trip to a small town and I saw that coat hanging at a local thrift shop, I didn't hesitate a lot. It was a bit out of my comfort zone (the A-cut, all-over print), but I realised that it was exactly what I was looking for- out of my comfort zone.
The outfit I created with it lets it shine in all its glory with no excess details. The only thing accompanying it is the song, which by the way, fits perfectly with my story and this whole post.

Ühe mantli lugu.
Tavaliselt, kui mul tekib mõni uus soov või mõni riideese, mida kohe väga-väga tahaks, siis ma ei lähe kohe poodidesse seda otsima. Pigem jään ootama, et see asi hoopis mind leiaks. Võib-olla olen ma laisk, võib-olla on see hoopis saatus. See mantel on sellise mõtteviisi väga hea näide. Natuke aega tagasi mõtlesin, et olen oma hallist mantlist tüdinenud ja keep on igapäevaseks kandmiseks ka kuidagi liiga suurejooneline. Seega otsustasingi, et mul oleks ühte uut mantlit vaja, sellist, mis oleks natuke põnevam, aga siiski igapäevane. Ja jaanuaris, kui sõpradega Rakveres väikesel kaltsukatripil käisime, siis nägingi seda ühes kohalikus poekeses. Väga kaua isegi ei kahelnud, kas osta või mitte. See oli siiski natuke mu mugavustsoonist väljas (A-lõikeline, suure mustriga), aga ma avastasin, et just sellist mul ongi vaja- sellist, mis oleks mugavustsoonist väljas.
Outfiti panin ka nii kokku, et mantel täies ilus särada saaks, ilma igasuguste üleliigsete detailideta. Ainus, mis kogu komplektiga kaasa käib, on see laul, mis muide, sobib kogu selle loo ja postitusega imehästi.

alt-J - Breezeblocks

Finally a new outfit post! I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long.
This is the first time for one of my favourite recent purchases to appear on the blog- the plaid jeans. I had had them on my wishlist for months and then I accidentally came across them on an online auction site, had them altered a bit by my mom and poof! Now I'm the owner of a cool pair of jeans.
Also, with this outfit I understood the importance of having a great classic black coat. Simplicity at its best, really. To be completely honest with you, this isn't my coat, but I borrowed it from Getter, for the sake of having better (and warmer) pictures and some versatility. No harm in doing that, right? And I still haven't stopped wearing plain sweaters and collared shirts non-stop. They are my absolute go-to on a lazy morning.

See on esimene kord kui minu viimase aja lemmikost blogis kajastub, nimelt need ruudulised püksid. Ma olen endale juba päris mitu kuud selliseid teksaseid tahtnud ning kogemata leidsin need osta.ee'st, mu ema kohendas neid veidi ja ongi mul täpselt sellised püksid nagu tahtsin! 
Samuti avastasin, kui oluline on omada üht lihtsat ja klassikalist musta mantlit. Kui nüüd täielikult aus olla, siis see ei ole minu mantel, vaid laenasin selle Getterilt, kes lahkelt lubas mul seda piltide ajaks kanda. Aga toredama outfiti nimel ju võib? Ning ma ei ole veel jätnud ka tavaliste kampsunite ja kraega pluuside kandmist. Laiskadel hommikutel haaran just nende poole.

Sponsor spotlight: Clothingloves

January 06, 2013

Some time ago I was contacted by the lovely folks at Clothingloves, asking if I would like to be part of their bloggers' program. Well, naturally I said yes, considering, how many cool and extremely affordable items they stock. If you are after cheap fashion, like me, then you should definitely check them out!
Their selection includes basically everything, starting with wonderful wholesale dresses to beautiful jewellery. I really liked the winter coats, the lovely girlie shirts and this long red tweed jacket. Also, check out a little collage of my favourites below!

Mõni aeg tagasi sain kirja netipoelt nimega Clothingloves, kes kutsus mind osa saama nende blogijate programmist. Loomulikult ma nõustusin, arvestades nende poe imeliselt suurt valikut. Kui teile nagu mullegi, meeldivad pigem odavad riided, siis kindlasti visake poele pilk peale! 
Sealt poest leiab väga palju toredaid asju, millega riidekappi täita, alates imeliselt suurest valikust kleitidest, lõpetades võrratute ehetega. Mulle eriti meeldisid nende mantlid, toredad kraega pluusid ja see lahe pikk punane tviidjakk. Ülejäänud mu lemmikud leiate altpoolt!

The XX- Intro

Happy New Year, guys!! Hope you had the greatest celebrations and that your new year started perfectly. I celebrated by having an amazing three-course dinner with my best friends, accompanied by the usual TV programme and of course, fireworks!
This outfit is actually from last year (oh no!). As you can see, my fascination with red hasn't gone anywhere, if anything, then increased. I got this cosy sweater from Stockholm, right before Christmas. It is so soft and casual and I actually can't wait to wear it to school with a preppy collared shirt. The scarf and bag are still in Christmas mood, kind of like everyone on Home Alone only wears clothes in red, green and beige. Have you noticed?
The little heart bracelet was sent to me from Rings&Tings and it represents a massive thank you to all of you for your constant love and support!

Head uut aastat, sõbrad! Loodetavasti olid teie aastavahetuse pidustused võrratud ja uus aasta algas hästi. Mina valmistasin sõpradega kolmekäigulise õhtusöögi, mida loomulikult saatis tavapärane teleprogramm ("Tujurikkuja" oli jälle üle prahi!) ja ilutulestik!
Need pildid on tegelikult eelmisest aastast. Minu punasehullus ei ole veel kuskile kadunud, tegelikult on see isegi kasvanud. Sain selle ülimõnusa, pehme ja täiesti tavalise kampsuni Stockholmist just enne jõule. Sall ja kott on veidi jõuluvärvides, umbes nii nagu kõik inimesed "üksinda kodus" filmides kannavad ainult punast, tumerohelist ja beeži. Olete tähele pannud?
See armas väike südamega käeehe saadeti mulle Rings&Tingsist ning see sümboliseerib ülisuurt tänu teile kõigile teie toetuse eest!
