We are ready, we are ready for the floor.

I just won backstage tickets to Arvika through Vice!!! I'm so happy!!!!! Thanks Ivar and Vice!!! Well OK it's just not only backstage, so I can pass the ticket I have now to a friend in Norway (MAJOR DRAMA)!!!!

You know how in the SATC movie Carrie was like the Vivienne Westwood wedding dress raised the weddings size etc?? Well I think that now when I have backstage pass, I need a better festival wardrobe with leopard velour minis, light washed jeans jacket and other hotness. Yet it might be too obvious. Ahhh we are leaving tomorrow!!!! Ahh before we take the train to Arvika in Stockholm, I'm going to take a round in American Apparel and maybe buy some hot leggins ;)))))))

In Sweden, I expect everyone look like this again: blonde, tanned and well accesorized. Hotness!!

// OK BYE! Have fun people, wherever you are. Do it stylishly. Take care of yourself and don't die! Let the music lift you up!

No one like that should be confined to the ground we walk.

R.I.P Ruslana Korshunova, the fairyesque model with rapunzel hair. It's reported that she jumped from the balcony of her ninth floor apartment in Financial District, NYC. Apparently she was a happy girl, about to turn 21 and no one saw it coming. Oh dear, oh dear, condolences to her family and friends.

THIS IS HOW I LEARNED TO HATE ROCK AND ROLL

Someone states the obvious...EXACTLY. I don't like to wear outfits that are too obvious and send a message that categorizes me but sometimes you're in a hurry...These were the first clothes that I picked up from my floor and you wouldn't believe that because it looks so formulated. This outfit was not one of my bests in that wise, and therefore I asked Sanna to capture it before we took the rest of the pictures. Her reaction was the same, you know, "you look like..."

But actually I really really like it, when I browse theskullset. I have two male versions of me on this set http://www.theskullset.com/ripdime.html alone.

Male version number 1.
Male version number 2.


Light blue button-downs and obivously big white tee's! Not to mention all kinds of chains.
My favorite male version pictures are these though:



Nice key necklace, dude!

I am gothic, I am pale, I am scary, I am insane, I am a loner, I am cold, I feel special when people don't phone.

I am not going to sales.

Actually I did already if the recycling centre counts, and found Sex Pistols's God Save The Queen 7' for seven euros, you know the 1977 release? Amazing cover graphics. Oh lol lol I could be so rich if I wanted to be. Like the other day I was casually going through 80s French Photos (the magazines are really graphic too...if you know what I mean. Italian too.) at a used-books shop and then from a random basket I found Love On The Left Bank by Ed van der Elsken and I was like hey, this is the cool book that Le Portillon covered. Better get this and what do you know, it's the first English edition and stuff. I've also checked how much I can get from my stepdads 70s Ibanez mandolin. Planning to get out of here much? Just a bit, only a little bit. I've come up with this amazing plan: I'll use the money my mom gives me to buy boxes and bed linen and cutlery and then I'll only need a sofa which I can easily get for free from the same recycling centre and I guess a new home would be really vital too. I know how that will end up. If I ever get to describe my new imaginary home, it will probably start with the following sentence: stacks of magazines are about the only furniture.

I really want to go to my bead and continue reading Fight Club, I've wanted to start if for the past five years, but if I finish it I have only really heavy books to read and one cannot carry those casually in a handbag for bus rides. If I finish it, what are the chances that I'll find a book in same size and as catching that will make me forget mundande matters and makes me miss my stop? Life is so complex at times. I've been wearing the same Marimekko dress for the past three days and it's so comfortable. I can sleep in it too, because originally it is a sleeping gown. I've come to the conculsion that I've hated the idea of oversized for so long that now it's back and I can like the idea of me wearing it. If I just add some statement jewellery. Oh and the real reason of why I'm not going to sales of boutiques that carry designer labels, is because I have money left only for French Vogue and a trip to Arvika via Stockholm's American Apparel. Luckily the sales last forever and I'll get something cool and 70% off. I have it all planned out.

+ Last night I saw my friend's cat eat a small bird. There was just a glass door between us and when the cat was finished there were only feathers left. Why are my friends cats so evil :(

MY SECRET GARDEN IS NOT SO SECRET ANYMORE

My friend left for Japan and she has a shopping list starting with Nippon Vogue! Thanks Sanna for the pictures, enjoy Japan! I'm wearing her sisters headpiece, white tank from my mom, second hand fringe jacket, second hand Jaeger skirt, two necklaces I've composed and then the ballet flats from Zara and Miu Miu-inspired heels from Dinsko.

Ps. Sanna has lots of cats...and lots of victims by cats.

//She also has a blog called
SUNDAY ADVENTURE CLUB.

Summertime, livin' is easy.

W is one of my most favorite magazines, no matter how much it disappoints sometimes. But for their July issue, let me tell you...the cover stars are our favorites Daria, Kate and Lara, by Bruce Weber. Inside there is also Sasha, I wonder why she didn't get to share the cover bed. Too bad. The editorial titled Summer Camp is styled by Alex White, amazing. Its shot in Miami and also features designers like Alexander Wang and the Mulleavy Sisters and Christophe Decarnin and and !!! Did I mention it's 42 pages? I can't wait to buy this! Pictures are from W's website, www.wmagazine.com, where you can see the whole editorial and a preview of the cover. I just love how in Bruce Webers images everyone is naked and happy!

I made my excuses and left

So today I bought nice basic ballet flats from Zara, the last time I bought something from there was two print T's four years ago. The flats are really nice but...I feel like crying, the cheap shoe trap is awful. They're made in Vietnam and I can't stop thinking about Radiohead's music video All I Need. I guess I could've saved up and bought Lanvin that would've probably last longer. I will buy them someday soon. Atleast the Zara flats are vegan....then again...



I don't know why I didn't feel like this when I bought my Miu Miu-inspired heels, but I should have. It's getting gradually harder and harder to feel proud about all the stuff I get from cheap stores (oh and mid-priced doesn't mean sweatshop free), even though I hardly buy them full-priced and really think why I would need them. I also try to estimate the quality the best I can, naturally. It's getting harder because I rarely buy things from those stores. So why should I this time? I got a nice white, v-neck shirt awhile back from H&M, because it was on sale, around 6 euros, the material was modal and it was Made in Romania. I personally think this is OK. The Zara flats are similar to the Lanvin ones I desire and I've been looking for nice ballets flats for a while. This one is just a terrible attitude.

The news is such a bore; I like Sonic Youth and The Fall.

You know you need to clean your room when you find Control's movie poster torn apart from your floor. Not just any kind of poster, but signed by Anton Corbijn. What the fuck?!

You know you need to believe less in faith when Plan A doesn't work out and Plan B is sold out. There is a slim chance that we're getting VIP-passes to Provinssirock, a music festival here in Finland. It has shitty line-up by the way...except for Justice. So why is it sold out?!

Prada Resort with a casting including Karmen Pedaru, Estonian model on the rise and my new favorite Myf. It's crazy, just the other day I was checkin' her thread over tFS and the next thing you know she's doing Prada and hey there's Lyoka Tyagnereva too, with a cool styling prop, the white t-shirt.

Oh, statement jewellery much?! If you haven't heard it's the new It bag...

+ Uhh hello I hate my life, M.I.A cancels all of her European Tour Dates, bye bye that part of fun in Arvika and Roskilde, for the people going there. Oh dear.

Help me become somebody else

Resort, resort, resort. I've got favorites. First of all, yes, I am going to jump in the Alexander Wang bandwagon. It's a lot easier to like the resort collections and such - you don't have question yourself Is this taking fashion anywhere? because these collections are meant to sell, gather the past seasons popular stuff togheter and leave the new silhouettes for the next, "real" collection. Shame on those designers trying to make money etc. Seriously, in the times of recession...what is it anyway? Not for me honey, not for me.

I love how resort collections are presented. This is a runway and I am walking. Yeah, we get it, it's all about the clothes, no extra fuss needed. That's why Stella McCartney with her picnic presentation made me happy. Garden party! Though I hate the bags below with a passion. Luckily the last shoes make it all up.





Alexander Wang. I'm fifty fifty on this, but the ensembles below...I want them in my life now. That's all. Except the last fringe-jacket because I've got similar one already. The clothes themselves are pretty basic altogheter, so I hope the quality is good or otherwise we could all just go to H&M and live happily ever after. This collections lookbook is pretty stale, so I'm glad style.com has the presentation.





Calvin Klein was generally amazing too, not to mention Francisco Costa got CFDA's Womenswear Designer of the Year. Good for him, everything is spectacular but it's not my favorite resort collection. That goes out to Helmut Lang, designed by Michael and Nicole Colovos . Yeah yeah yeah, the quality is not right for the price, there are other labels that do the same but better, it's not like Helmut Lang used to be and on top of it all they use past seasons Jil Sander shoes. I'm going to wipe that all away because this collection with its presentation gives me inspiration. I'd wear ANY of the outfits, preferably all of them any day, preferably every day. They'd get me closer to god.

God give a little love, bring me back a dog in the next life.

So as I was flipping the 10th issue of B EAST that I picked up from Estonian bookstore (that usually carries TANK but it wasn't there this time) there was this story about something, and it featured Kasino, that I keep calling Kasino A4 because it has A4 in the cover but I guess it has nothing to do with the mags name?! In the same story they dissed Vice and loved Polish magazine called A4. The latter is a cool one, and the freshest issue includes an editorial modeled by Lyoka Tyagnereva, my favorite. The spread also features a graveyard, a major turn-on. Remember that editorial long time ago in i-D with Querelle as a vampire or something...loved it to death. Lyoka is bit more angelic, but still as cool and rough and like, suffering. But not in a packaged misery way.

The editorial is named Sequins and the photographer is Winona Barton-Ballantyne. I give huge props to the fashion director Michel Onofrio for the work she has done, especially in what way! The styling here is desirable, with colours that I'd put on any time, fancy feathers and as the editorials name suggests, sequins. It reminds me of Raf's visions for Jil Sander, when he took sequins to another level, from the disco look to clear, calming sensitiveness. I can also sense that feel in here. It saddens me that I am not good at namedropping the dresses designers...

For myself, I'll leave hanging out in graveyards for another day but never say never. Upcoming two weeks are filled with free music and costly music, both equally wonderful. On Tuesday, with nothing more better to do, we were chilling in the lines of people waiting to get in to 30 Seconds To Mars gig, and I bet that one was amazing in emotional level. People certainly seemed to be in the mood, and it's crazy to think that people actually have different tastes and things they are passionate about. Like some people get major kicks out of Versace and Gucci collections, or anime or whatever. Crazyyy.

Oh and I didn't want to mention it but yeah, rare talent has passed away. See you in heaven, Yves. You left a mark.

My new glasses! Lover. The frames are Ray-Ban Clubmasters, a style that was introduced back in 1986. They are the most expensive piece in my wardrobe right now, due to the lenses, but the price per wear is going to be ridiculous. I'm holding my friend's lovely shoes in the second picture and now I have a reason to be sad. Yesterday when she wore them for the second time, they broke! Thanks Bianco, we all thought you were good. Die.

Next week, wisdom tooth surgery. Tonight, Bob Dylan. It's all good. Summertime, livin' is easy...
