...AND THE DAY AFTER

Let's get another thing straight.
I wake up with a hangover quite often, due to the fact that I, um, go out quite a lot.

So, I'm most definitely no good example for anyone ok.

But if you happen to wake up all fatigued and toxicated from the night before you might aswell make the best of the day after!

Instead of just ordering pizza why not make yourself pancakes.
I had a lot of them wiht black currants and honey while listening to some of my fav songs from the 40's.


Then, wear something nice and leave the house!
I took my bike and decided to go somewhere in my neighbourhood I hadn't been before.

I biked around Hermanni which is just a bit further away from where I live. It's quite idyllic, you would never know you're under fifteen minutes or seven-eight tram stops away from the centre...


Behind this hill you can see the sea.

(Hermanni isn't all peaches and cream though, the red building behind the trees in the picture above is atually a rather heavy-duty prison.)

Later I went to meet the girls from our burlesque group project for milkshakes (mintchocloate milkshake! I love it!), music- and outfit planning. That's always so inspiring!

Then I biked home, very happy I decied not to just stay in bed all day :)

GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS

Ok, lets get things straight first. Inspite of all the skirts and heels I'm not that a girly person, I'm more something like this (yes that's me). Getting togehter with a large group of girls sometimes stresses me out a bit and I start hearing We are family and I'm so excited playing in my head (uh) straight away.

But that doensn't mean it can't still be a lot of fun - I mean, if you've got to do it, you're not only gonna do it but you've got to overdo it!


So,first we started out with sushi and a lot of wine.

Then we went to see you-know-what-movie...

And then we went for drinks.
Alexandra has cinderella-like shoes. She is alwyas so stylish and can pull of any bling bling anytime, anywhere so well.

K always looks like a bag of sweet pastel coloured candy; this time wearing a IVANA Helsinki skirt and a Hanna Sarén bag.

Jen is just so fabulous, here wearing a self-customized vintage dress and selfmade jacket. She's a fashion designer and has just moved back here after some time in Milan, but more about her later in this blog then...

I love the colour combination of the other K's nails, ring and blouse.

The ones of us that are not married or pregnant or live in the suburbs went out for even more drinks and dance and it was all worht the headache the next day!

THE LGD


Dress - a gift from K
Silk corset underneath - Diamina
Seamed Stockings - Vogue
Shoes - Sthlm DG

On saturday I rolled up my hair and went out in a flowing little grey dress.
Grey could be the new black.

(But it's so not. I'll just allow it to replace black every now and then in summer.)
