Arctic Monkeys - Knee Socks

The inspiration folder in my computer probably has more than 20 street style looks with over-the-knee socks. I've loved that preppy accessory since the first season of Gossip Girl and that was when I wasn't even in high school. Now I found the perfect pair of knee-highs and couldn't resist buying them.

But am I too old for the preppy schoolgirl look? Should I get a black pair without the bowties too? Is it time for me to finally embrace my favourite street style look and put those 20 inspirational pictures to good use? 

Minu arvuti inspiratsioonikaustas on ilmselt üle kahekümne tänavastiili pildi, kus lahedad naised üle maailma kannavad üle põlve ulatuvaid põlvikuid. Mulle on need meeldinud juba sellest ajast, kui "Gossip Girl" algas ja siis ma ei käinud isegi gümnaasiumis. Nüüd lõpuks leidsin täpselt õiged põlvikud ja pidin need kohe Kaubamajast ära ostma. 

Aga kas ma olen sellise tutipäevaliku riietuse jaoks juba liiga vana? Kas ma peaksin ostma ka mustad ilma lipsudeta põlvikud? Kas on aeg, et ma lõpuks võtan omaks selle vana lemmikstiili ja kasutan neid 20 pilti otstarbekalt?

Tour of the Streets

On a summery day last week, after attending another reception and nearly skipping the buffet afterwards, I met the Tour of the Streets team, who also happen to be friends of mine, and was streetstyle snapped in marvellous Kadriorg. These three lovely girls are the masterminds behind a cool new streetstyle blog and are tirelessly taking pictures of lovely people on the streets of Tallinn. If you want to keep up with the next big thing in streetsyle after the Sartorialist, then check out the Tour of the Streets site or their Facebook page.

As it was a wonderfully warm day, I immediately searched out my nude maxiskirt and after trying on a few other tops, settled for an equally sheer black blouse. With the beautiful necklace, which was the weekend's flea market find, my fabulous leopard-print loafers and a simple bag, I was ready to tour the streets of Tallinn (yes, a shameless pun). Minutes before leaving my house, I decided to do my hair up in a messy braid for that last touch of boho chic.

Ühel suvisel päeval eelmisel nädalal, pärast järjekordse poolpiduliku vastuvõtu külastamist ja banketi peaaegu vahelejätmist, kohtusin Tour of the Streets'i tiimiga, kes minust oma tänavamoeblogisse ka pildid tegi.  Need kolm tüdrukut, kes juhtumisi on ka minu toredad sõbrad, on laheda uue tänavamoeblogi autorid, käies väsimatult Tallinna tänavatel ja pildistades vahvaid inimesi. Kui te tahate sammu pidada tänavamoe järgmise suure tegijaga, siis kindlasti vaadake Tour of the Streetsi blogi või nende Facebooki lehte. Siinkohal tahaksin tänada Mariat, et ta neid pilte lahkelt ka minuga jagas. Aitäh!

Kuna see päev oli võrratult soe, siis otsisin kohe oma beeži maksiseeliku välja ja pärast mõne teise pluusi proovimist, jäin pidama selle võrdväärselt läbipaistva pluusi juurde. Lisades eelmisel nädalavahetusel täikalt leitud kaelakee, minu vinged leopardimustrilised kingad ja lihtsa koti, olin valmis Tallinna tänavatel tuuritama. Vaid paar minutit enne kodust lahkumist otsustasin juuksed ka pisut laisalt patsi punuda, et just see viimane boheemlaslik täpp i peale panna.

Muse - Feeling good

 

I've wanted to take pictures of this outfit for so long and yesterday was the right day for that. The pictures were taken about an hour before I had my wisdom tooth removed, so right now I'm writing to you looking a bit like a hamster and being able to only eat soft food. But it's alright.

Before that, we went to see "The Iron Lady". Can't really say that it's a movie I would suggest. It was quite depressive and sad, although Meryl Streep's performance was indeed Oscar-worthy.

Also, I can't express how much I love my new black jeans. Back in autumn I was complaining how I need a new totally black pair of skinny jeans and by some miracle I accidentally found them at Vero Moda for only 5 euros. Keeping the outfit simple and neutral with just a pop of colour. And yes, the sunglasses add that I'm-a-movie-star-hiding-from-the-paparazzi touch.Which is probably why I went for the fierce look.

By the way, my picture was taken for Mood magazine's streetstyle section yesterday !! Can't wait for the next issue.

See on üks komplekte, mis on mul nii kaua peas olnud ja lõpuks leidsin õige päeva, et seda pildistada. Enne piltide tegemist käisin vaatamas filmi "Raudne leedi", mis mulle tegelikult eriti ei meeldinud, kuna see oli ikka suhteliselt masendavates toonides, kuigi Meryl Streep näitles tõesti hästi.
Esimest korda kannan blogis ka oma uusi musti teksaseid, millest ma juba sügisel nii väga puudust tundsin. Leidsin need Vero Modast ainult 5 euro eest ning need on tõepoolest perfektsed. Outfit iseeneesest on tohutult lihtne , ainult prillid+müts combo lisab veidike dramaatilisust. 
Muide, eile tehti minust pilt ajakirja MOOD tänavamoe rubriigi jaoks. Nüüd tahaks juba nii väga järgmist numbrit näha !

I discovered that the "inspiration" folder in my computer is getting quite full, so I decided to share some of the coolest fall pictures with you :)

Pictures are from various streetstyle blogs, or just some random page on the internet.
