WHEN I GROW UP

Sofia Coppola snapped by one of my favorite internetz persons, The Arab Parrot.

The fashion victim story of my life continues...ok, so the thing is it's easy to slide one meter outside your door if you want to wear your new 5 inch heels but try taking five steps back to the same door when you realise that the streets resemble a skating rink. I swear I have never felt so helpless in my life. Some things are so close yet so far away, just like in the movies.

The hottest look right now is 90S ART CURATOR. Maxi dress and a smart blazer for the win, well until it's spring.

Have you ever noticed how life is about the little things? There's beauty in the ceilings...and meltdowns!

I've had a looovely Friday nigh & Saturday: Finnish Catwalk Kick-Off, Make The Girl Dance in Redrum, document about Louvre's renovation 20 years ago, one of the best cups of coffee in town and the most important thing, FRIENDS! Tomorrow it's the same story, documents + visiting Finnish Catwalk. Then I have to get back to work with school stuff. I just want to make great art?!

AND I FEEL...AND I FEEL....AND I FEEL

1. Me and Brooklyn Lager at a houseparty, I think this was the night when me and Julia went on to rave to Jack Beats.
2. Friend's rack of beautiful vintage finds
3. Lipstick on her table and jewelry she makes, I ordered the bracelet on top of the pile in light cream, guess what it's made from? Ah oh my god I can't stop thinking about it, better hurry her up.
4. I want the snow to melt so I could wear my new hiiiiigh heels and open leather jacket with fur sleeves with my new bracelet! But I am not one of those people who can't function in the dark winter here, I mean cheer the fuck up and take your D-vitamins or something...

I've had a lovely day, first went to press of Finnish Catwalk where I ate tiramisu and had two glasses of cava and struggled through snowy Helsinki in wedges. Today I'm strictly school (browsing papers and collections with thick wool and fur) but tomorrow I am going to the kick-off of Finnish Catwalk and after that catch an acoustic set by a friend in Painobaari. I think studying has been very good to my health, I am more into things than ever. Like Rick Owens and...Kurt Vonnegut...and Phoebe Philo? You know.

Ps. my new favorite song is totally the Rodaidh remix of The xx's Insects, you hold me captive with the things you'll do and say, and I feel, you make me feel like an insect...

LOST IN THE ILLUSION

Givenchy Haute Couture SS2010

Riccardo Tisci in February 2007 in New York Times interview:

Q. How were sales for the January couture collection?

A. When I arrived we had five customers. Now we have 29.

Q. It must be a great affirmation to see young women, strangers, in your clothes?

A. I was in Cannes last year for the film festival and I saw this Russian girl, very beautiful, 23 years old. It was amazing to see her in my dress — a green dress from the last show, with the shoes and the bag and everything. It’s like the Arabic countries. Some of the princes have, like, 10 daughters, and they all dress in couture. It’s funny, they all come.

I wonder what the situation is now...

Now I like my paillette jacket seen in the last post a little bit more...I deemed it as tacky for a while but hey...

I just really hope Haute Couture doesn't die out.

I LIVE FIRST, LEAVE THE BULLSHIT DEAD LAST

Funny, isn't it?

How writing things down helps so much.

And how significant silly things become...

My life is about to become 10 hours school per day for three weeks because I've been reckless in the past. In order to be reckless in the future, I've got to this. Tomorrow I'm waking up early and taking an important paper to my school counselor, then tell her everythings fine with me, not suicidal, just can't get out of bed & don't want to become a fuck-up at this point of my life. Though I love fuck-ups, really, but I just want a stupid paper telling me I have a degree that is not basically hard at all to achieve and move on. Whatever problems I've had with motivation seemed to vanish today... and even if they did not, I have to believe they did. So tomorrow, school counselor, essay about brands, class, finally starting the math assignments for my last compulsory course, got a books worth to do this week, maybe writing down thoughts for my textile diploma that needs to be ready in two weeks, swedish homework...

And the thing is, I don't really want to think about what ifs anymore. So what if I lacked motivation before and partied too hard? Not important anymore or never when you can still change the course of things. I've done it, it's done, funny how things can change...

(More pictures of Lady Gaga-party here)

I'VE SEEN YOU IN A FIGHT YOU LOST, LIKE ALL THE BOYS BEFORE

1. Luke Gilford 2. Me by Sanna Lehto 3. Zoo Magazine 4. Luke Gilford 5. help? it was such a cool site

Heavily listening to Ellie Goulding's Under The Sheets again, gotta check out the video. And I've been reading far too many interviews with fashion designers from Interview and Ponystep. They've got the answers I need.

Ps. decided that I'M GOOD ENOUGH

It just helps to write it down.

IN WHICH WE'RE LIKE PAPER PLANES IN PLAYGROUND GAMES

1. Me and Julia chilling at our friends dorm room, taking a break from dancing. BIG UP LADY GAGA/MILLENIUM THEME PARTY! And the free food the next day, if I'd get breakfast, tea breaks and two hot meals a day I guess I'd be more intrested in school too. The party was awesome, more pictures of decoration and stuff are on its way!

2. So Haus of Gaga has invisible shoes...fuck that! I've got friends with invisible faces! AND I ALSO HAD FAKE EYE LASHES, a left over from a shoot and looked like a doll!

3. I found round nachos and triangle ones, apparently I also pouted...and my Lady Gaga outfit was white underskirt, a nude bra + sequin jacket. Everyone looked awesome and had a tinfoil accessory!! Ps. Sorry environment.

4. My new heels from Zara I bought in panic for New Years, I love them! They are high but comfortable and that's why I got them, seemed like every other pair I tried on was kinda...wobbly. Oh and...I'm bringing ankle bracelets back...

I am super tired now, sadly I even forgot to go to art openings but it's OK. Tomorrow is math and a friend's 19 birthday. I have a lot of passion for the latter.

ALL THE CRAZY SHIT I DID TONIGHT, THOSE WILL BE THE BEST MEMORIES

Daria by Meisel, Vogue Italia July 2003

Finally managed to get all my jewelry in one place for tomorrow's shoot. Only couple of necklaces with keys missing. I used to love them.

So I've discovered my room is a war zone between fashion magazines, clothes and my laptop screening me Meisel's works. I keep telling myself it's okay because I'm applying for fashion design anyway. No back up plan yet. Actually, I have 6 courses in high school to do still, I guess I shouldn't be talking about things too far away and get them done first, well before 30.4...really...

But right now, I'm only thinking about my maxi dress, sequin jacket, white wine and huge butterfly as a hat, instead of a math book. Well, math book would make a great hat too. Ps. I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me...

DIE SLOW

Icons of our time by Hedi Slimane, more at ZOO MAGAZINE.

I love ZOO so much, it's a shame I only own one issue.

OOPS, OH MY

Ordered Marjan Pejoski lace print top and French Connection shoes from Asos sale today. I'm little worried about the delievery though cause I don't usually order online and our building has a door code but it's going to be okay. I guess the Pejoski top will be my official trendy item of the season, I noticed that after I bought Brit Vogue today for comfort reading...

I'm psyched for this week, a lot of things are happening! Or maybe I'm just too eager for Spring to happen, who knows. I have to take care of some school things first but then it's all about discussing art, modeling for a potrait, Lady Gaga theme party (I feel a little lost to be honest..) out of town where my friends study photography, exhibition opening at Kiasma, another art opening at Kuvataideakatemia, awesome parties on Friday and then some event that has something to do with sneakers, well I just hope I can drag someone along for a glass of free punch...

I also hope I get my schoolwork done...

WANTING EVERYTHING, JUST TO START AT THE ENDING

I keep going back to these images.

I mean, they're essential, to me.

Sheer, fur sleeves, Alaia, the white shirt and green eyes...

On Friday I went to two launches. On Saturday, I almost wish I hadn't.

And I hate hate that. Why do I always want to makemyself feel worthless?

Well, back to listening Delphic, random dubstep and watching 40s lovestories.

WHEN YOU HOLD ME I, I FEEL BETTER

how did we get ourselves so lost
I don't know
but we will not be leaving tonight, tonight
when you hold me
I, I feel better

I only want one life
together in our arms
this is the longest night
we're meeting arms to arms
nothing is wasted
LIFE IS WORTH LIVING
heaven is nowhere
just look to the stars
there is a daylight
it's yours for embracing

everything's nothing
and NOTHING IS OURS

WHEN YOU HOLD ME
I FEEL BETTER

I FEEL BETTER




FUCK NEW HOT CHIP IS AMAZING

PICS: ME IN A SITUATION BY EMILIA LAGK

PS. FUUUUUUUUUUU WE ALL HAVE TO HELP HAITI! Just checking my bank account.

A STRANGE SCENE IT IS, UNDER OVER THROUGH

Picture Sanna Lehto

Something very strange happened today!
My bag's chain got stuck in a metal part under bus seat.
Didn't know this was possible until now....
I noticed this as I was in theat the last stop and everyone was getting off.
I pulled and pulled but it was stuck!
I kinda panicked and went to the driver like "MY BAG IS STUCK TO THE SEAT!!!"
So he tried to pull it too but as it didn't work, he got his swiss army knife and 30 seconds later everything was OK again, seat fine, chain fine!

This fashion victim situation happened to me last year too and I'm not talking about too high heels or being addicted to trends. This is the real deal. Last year my shredded shirt got stuck in someone's back pocket's button on dancefloor and I tried to take it subtly off and bang, he twisted my finger so hard (as he thought I was pockpicketing) that it hurt still after a week.

There's something about life I like...

PS bought Sonia Rykiel for H&M silk dress in light salmon pink and two black underpants for 16 euros! SCORE! Kinda sad though I didn't went earlier because some of the stuff was pretty & well-made and the mark-downs great, the dress was only one left in the store.

PPS talking about knives, I love this new song.

THIS IS LIKE A FLASHBACK, THIS IS LIKE A DREAM

Pictures Sanna Lehto

We went to the army surplus store, I tried on this and couple of amazing things you'll see later, like the world's most painful bag. Actually maybe I want to go back and get this sailor hat and a stripey tank, no?

PS.
I LOVE THIS TOO MUCH!
AND I'M SO TIRED OF WHAT I ALWAYS SAY...BUT THIS IS WHAT I WANT!
And I'm kinda angry to myself but it's all good, I've got it figured out.

WHY AM I DYING TO LIVE IF I'M JUST LIVING TO DIE

Old collage of mine...I used to be heavily into making these...

You know, sometimes when I get introduced to people, they are all like hey haven't I seen you somewhere before.

I'm not sure if that's such a good thing....

Because generally when I look around and observe the world we live in...

All I see is this and that and not always great things.

I TELL YOU WHAT I DID LAST NIGHT

OK, so in last post I wished to get to know substance called champagne.
And Queen Jane recommended Veuve-Clicquot.
Guess what we were toasting at my friends when his dad wanted to celebrate his new title!
I love life!
Miracles do happen!
And they taste good.

Looking forward to jj on Thursday at Redrum.

WHAT ABOUT WHAT I NEED, WHAT ABOUT WHAT'S BEST FOR ME

QUEEN JANE, APPROXIMATELY

Hello, I just found my new favorite blog!
And btw...champagne is definitely NOT a substance I'd know too well.
I guess it's the recession.
Even on New Year's Eve, I just got cava...I'm cheap, sometimes not even that cheerful.
A flaw I must fix one day.
Shouldn't be too hard...

Back to listening Sharkslayer remixes and drawing jackets.

I'VE ALWAYS LOVED YOU BUT I NEVER SAW YOU BEFORE

1.I&V
2.Helen Korpak
3.Panos Yiapanis


I've watched a lot of movies lately.
Sometimes their subtitles are Swedish, because I need to learn Swedish.
But the subtitles go by too fast.
They're much harder to learn than a great pair of shoes,
mixed messages,
things that I've been told.

Oh well, they are not.
It's just me.
