Dress Me Up!

I'm listening to Of Monsters and Men and trying to be proactive! I already reduced the size of this one dress that I bought and made one old jumper into a pillowcase - sounds weird but it actually worked out quite well! I just have to add some buttons on it so I'll be able to close it up. Here's the pillow:

I can tell you that the fabric is soooo rubbery! I could never have worn the jumper in the first place 'cos of the fabric, but I like that Dia de Los Muertos -style picture so I decided to recycle the whole shirt.

I promised that I would show the new dress that I bought, so here it is!

pssst! Just so you know, I didn't have basically any eye make up (hence the sunglasses) and my hair is also just on a quick messy bun so don't judge my look, okay? 

the dress is from:  Te Amo. Bought it from Nelly.com
The Necklace is from:  Mi Lajki.
Shoes: self tuned H&M shoes.

I must wear some sort of jacket with this dress during the autumn/winter, since the dress is so open
that otherwise I would freeze. 

Other option for the leather jacket is this furry coat. It's quite warm and very comfortable.

I also thought about these shoes. They're heel is much higher
but they're so comfortable on! Both coat and shoes are bought
from retail shops.

So which one of these looks do you prefer? Or should I mix them up? Leather jacket or fur coat? The dress came with see-trough straps, and I think I'm gonna put them on because I don't trust the dress to stay up just because it's tight - and the last thing I wanna end up is having my boobs blob out in the middle of a party. LOL. That would certainly light up the night.  I was thinking about wearing this at my step-mother's 50th Birthday party in next month. And of course I'm gonna wear my hair down with curls and without the sunglasses, because like Dean Winchester said, everyone who wears shades indoors is a douche. Hehe.


Here's also some other pictures unrelated to the dress:

My favorite woolly jumper. From retail shop.
And also PU leather pants. 

(Nemo is sleeping behind me... lol)

I rarely wear this kind of red lipstick anymore - I prefer the more dark and and lilac ones nowadays. 

This Marvel shirt is one of my favorite tops at the moment. 

And the final look. This pretty much sums up how I look when I'm dressed casually. Like when I'm going
shopping or hanging with my friends. 

Oh and PS. we went to Linnanmäki last month with my three friends. For someone who doesn't know, Linnanmäki is an amusement park in Helsinki. It's over 50-years-old and therefore the oldest amusement park in Finland. This was also the last time we saw Rina, since she moved to Australia after this. I miss her so much! She's the one in the red shirt.

Standing in a queue. Going to Vekkula. And we were having a
great time despite our gloomy faces. And my hair was all messed
up and flat because of the rides.  ( the man behind is photo
bombing us.... )

first ride! The Coffee cups! It's probably for children but we decided
to start easy. So much funnn! 

Next time I'm gonna show you my shoes collection! I'm not much of a shoe-person and I buy shoes pretty seldom, but still I have managed to collect a good amount of different kinds of shoes. Even worse I'm with bags - I buy one and use it everyday for years and then I buy another one. Shame on me for being bad at being a woman! But I have always been a little manly in some ways. You should see my movie collection! I just counted that I have almost 250 movies plus TV-series on DVD. And they're all action or horror movies. I have almost 30 zombie movies..... yeah. true story bro! (well I have LOTR, Hobbits and Star Wars movies too........)

Leave a comment or two and let me know what you think!

★ It's London Calling! ★

I'm a bit ashamed to admit, that I've never been to Britain or London before... It's not that it's too far away (straight flight from Finland takes about 3 hours) or that I wasn't interested in UK, but more like I've never had the time to go there. I've been so busy going to Tokyo and other trips... But now finally me and my dear friend Riina are going to London to stay with our friend Anna, who is studying in London's University.

It's not going to be a long trip, only 4 nights - which me and Riina are going to spend sleeping on their sofas in their living room. Yes, THEIR. Anna lives with 4 or 5 (I never remember) other people: some other Finnish girls and one British boy. It's gonna be interesting... I'm kinda nervous about sleeping in a ''public'' living room, 'cos I'm not sure about in which positions I sleep, and it would be embarrassing if the British boy came to the living room while us sleeping and he saw my butt hanging loose or something.... LOL. and ps. no i don't sleep naked... 

But anyways it's still nice to stay at Anna's place, 'cos we don't have to pay anything for the nights.

We had some serious troubles with booking the flight. I mean I've booked many many flights and I'm not a novice at the matter, but still..... How hard it can be to get a flight from Finland to London - one of the biggest capitals in Europe? well, apparently it's very fucking difficult! first of all a straight flight from Finland would've been much too expensive (500-600€ - notice that the last year's flight to Tokyo was less than 600€), so we had to take a flight with a stop at Copenhagen. I've been to Copenhagen's airport and I liked it - it was compact, fairly small which i like, and the people were kind.

BUT the first flight we booked was already pretty expensive -  the prices went up and down like crazy (about 390€) and after we had booked it the price went up again! We hadn't gotten the reservation number or confirmation yet, and on the next day they raised the price of our flight with more than 150€!!! I mean what the...?? I got so pissed off. I said that I will definitely not pay that much money for a flight to Europe with one stop included. So we cancelled the flight - thank god it was free to cancel it..
 

On the same day (Friday) I decided to book the flight by myself and I finally found one pretty good :

Leaving on 24.6. 17:30 from Helsinki Airport
Landing on Copenhagen at 18:10 (local time)

Departure at 20:05 from Copenhagen 
Landing on London at 21:05 (local time)

Return Flight: 

Leaving on 28.6. 10:20 from London Heathrow 
Landing on Helsinki at 15:15 (local time, straight flight, flight time 2h 55min)

and with price: 316.90€ / person. 

I'm happy with this flight. Even though it's still kinda expensive, but at least we're saving by living at Anna's place.

I've been to many countries: Sweden, Hungary, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Turkey, Japan, Thailand....... and the list goes on. But nevertheless I'm always excited about traveling! I more likely use my money on traveling than fancy clothes, phones, electronics, etc.

And the more people you can travel with and meet while traveling, the more merrier! 

So, what are your summer plans? Going to foreign countries? or just enjoying the holiday with friends and family? I'm gonna do both...  We have a midsummer festive in Finland this week and I'm gonna spend it with my Sister and her boyfriend - whom are both very dear to me. It's gonna be fun! Maybe we're gonna go to some road trip with a car?
 

But we'll see next time after my London journey. :) I'M GONNA TRY TO TAKE AS MUCH PHOTOS AS I CAN!!!! this time....... lol. (word: journey always reminds me of Lord of the Rings or Hobbit... So I'm gonna go bare foot like a good hobbit, and defeat the evil! )

[ When the sun still shines ]

Wooo I'm back to Finland. Sadly. And I have enormous troubles with transferring the japan photos from by phone to the computer. the system is so stupid and annoying and i've been trying to do this now like 45 mins and still doing it! ARRGGHH! I'm getting very anxious because of this stupid son of a mother! it doesn't want to move all the pictures, 'cos there is some error and oahfijdahf. okay, cooling myself down.....

IF i manage to get the photos to the computer i'll put some pics here - otherwise this post will be pretty pictureless ( i just came up whit that word, cool right?). alright i was able to get some pics from the phone. not all of them but i'm so pissed off right now, that this will do it for now... 

oh dear! time flies so fast - it feels like it's been forever since we left from Tokyo. btw i had one little accident in Japan.... I've wanted gray hair since last year's summer, and this time in Tokyo i thought that i'll finally fulfill my dream and i bought two gray hair colors: one Gatsby and one men's Palty. and one evening at 10 o'clock i started to dye my hair with the gatsby's color. I've bleached my hair but it's still very thick and i didn't allow the color to effect more than 10 mins and when i went to wash it off my hair was gray-purple. mostly dark purple. i had such a breakdown. i started crying and cursing and Rina got all scared, 'cos i was so hysteric. but thanks to Rina, the most kindest person in the universe, she went immediately to get some bleach. after half an hour my hair was back to blond. Not white - as it was BEFORE i put the horrific gray color, but blond. and after using some silver shampoo it's now again back to white. BUT i shall warn you about japanese colors - DON'T TRY THEM __IF YOU HAVE BLEACHED HAIR! honestly. 

I still have the men's palty -color, but i haven't even opened it yet. especially when the package says: men's palty - waterwax hair color. sounds suspicious. i still want the gray hair but next time i'll go to do it with professional's help - and by this i mean hair salon. i don't want anyone to repeat my mistakes so that's why i truly recommend you not to try the same thing that i did. it sucked ass big time! 

Here are the colors. Btw in Japan you can find hair colors
from drug stores and from Don Quijotes. Also some konbinis sell two or three colors.

I also had one accident in our summer cottage. On Friday i suddenly noticed that my lip piercing's tip ( the little ball that keeps it on place) had fallen off. I tried to find it but it was mission impossible. So on Saturday we went to some jewelry shop and i bought a new piercing and after 15mins i discovered that the ball had fallen off AGAIN. I've had this piercing for about 1½ years and the ball has NEVER fallen before. and on one weekend it happened twice. i was so pissed off that my grandmother gave me money to buy a new one - again. So i bought two new ones from korumaailma.fi which is an online shop that has pretty cheap jewelries. today i got those new ones.... but what a waste of money! 

And by the way i got a tattoo!! yay. i wanted to have it before the japan trip but it was impossible. but now it's already completely healed and i absolutely love it!  and here is a CRAPPY photo of it. please accept my apology - i was too lazy to put any make up or anything and i was just going to shower so.............. sorrysorrysorry. 

plus the quality of the pic is 100% horse shit.... :-D LOL

i had to take a picture of the wrap i was in for one day.
that is supposed to be white paper but it's been colored by the ink
and my blood. XD  yummy. 

and now i'll put some of those pics from Tokyo - that was so hard to transfer!

Because i love food!! This was in Saizeriya after a hard party night.
it was about 4-5 o'clock in the morning. 

In izakaya. The blue drink was called titanic -  and i can ensure you
it did sank pretty well. ;----D lol

again in izakaya. a pile of destroyed Edamame. yum! 

a Korean restaurant in Shin Okubo. Those plate sizes were enormous!
neither of us could not finish it.... 

happy Rina and her 0 calories jelly. :D 

(before japan) i love lace.... :)))

and i love those shoes. so comfty and easy to mix with almost everything! 

@Harajuku, FOREVER 21. i bought one jacket -
which is not in the pic btw. XD

it was a very rainy day.... :(

My life resources. 

one Hawaiian restaurant in Odaiba, Venus Fort.
We agreed to spend some money and ordered some expensive drinks. 

@ Karaoke WC. :--D  oh and my new jean west. 

how i spent my time during Rina's japanese classes.
Vitamin Water XXX and Lord of the Rings. I red the whole book
in 2 months. (well 3 of the books.... you know)

from the toilet of Rina's language school. :--D a nice green
wall. and my new jacket and top.

FAKE  t-shirt. love it. ;_;  from ASOS.com

this was after i dyed it purple. :-D pretty good isn't it? haha

and the last night in Tokyo. I love it when they have
yukatas in hotel rooms. :--D  i was just about to go to a bath. 

Okay.... next time i'll tell you something about Japanese guys......... wait for it. it'll be fun. :D or not. 

But now i'll go to watch the London Olympics. Is anyone else interested in sports? oh i love the Olympics. Even thought Finnish athletes are pretty crappy..... Always high hopes but never even competing in the Finals. But that's why i can share my love and cheer up for example Japan or UK. :D 

But once again if you have some questions - feel free to ask! 

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu! kisses

Good Evening~

DODIIN! Nyt sain HYPPYSIINI (toi on nyt tästä lähtien mun lempisana, jonka pyrin toistamaan vähintään kerran jokaisessa päivityksessä !) niitä Tallinnan kuvia, joten tässä näitä nyt sitten on ! : ))

Nää ei sitten ole missän kronologisessa järjestyksessä, eikä kaikilla kuvilla ole syvempää merkitystä, mutta.... :--D please, enjoy!

laivalla on hurjan hauskaa.....


kuten huomaatte.... : ))) Maireaa! \o ja tietenkin pelaamassa korttia!~ kortit on ostettu Japanista, Tokyosta, Kiddy Landista - STITCH! raiburaibu.

ja sitten leikittiin Hunkseja kannella auringon ihanasti paistaessa. lämpötila oli jotain 7C, mutta toi aurinko kyllä lämmitti aika paljon... Oli mukavaa ja ihanan pirteä ilma.

Mr. TOKI:


Mr. ANTTILA/BANAANI:


Mrs. MINTTU:


Sitten pitää varmaan näyttää vähän epäedustavampiakin kuvia.... :-----D





Jep... siellä tuuli kovaa. Niin kovaa, että tämä mies ei tonne mennyt tällä letillä! Minttu oli rohkein ja lähti uhmaamaan tuulta! ;_;


leikin sillä aikaa vaan Hunksia...... \o

Ja koska oltiin syöty _vain todella täyttävä, rasvainen ja epäterveellinen laivan buffet-aamiainen, niin päätettiin, että oli aika mennä Tallinnassa pienen kävelyn jälkeen kaffille! En nyt kuollaksenikaan muista, mikä ton kahvilan nimi oli, mutta jos joku haluaa tietää, niin tulkaa kysymään niin otan selvää! : ) Se oli ihan loistava paikka, halpaa, hyvää ja todella viihtyisää. Vaikka toisinaan siellä soikin vähän liian ranskalainen musiikki.. eli se meni vähän ohi meiän aivokapasiteetin. Minttu&Anttila otti Suklaajuustokakun ja Cafe Lattet ja minä Cafe Latten ja ison, suklaamarengin... ;_; oon heikkona niihin! :-----D myönnän, myönnän...









Nökötys, nökötys.....


oon niin ylpeä tästä kuvasta!!!!!!! haha just love it. : D ja Anttila on kuumis :---))))


Tästäkin olen ylpeä! : D vaikka en edes harrasta valokuvausta, enkä tiedä siitä yhtään mitään, niin on sitä joskus kiva olla tämmönen satunnaiskuvaaja. hehe.

Noita kuvia oli vielä paljon lisää, mutta valitsin Teille ne minusta parhaimmat kuvat tänne näkyville. Sitten kun taas matkustetaan jonnekkin, niin tuun tänne laittelemaan kaikkea mahdollista! : ) mut ei tästä silti siis mikään matkablogi tule, koska meillä on jo semmoinen... (*köhköh* GROOVY-MOTION *köhköh*)

Until next time, Baibaiiii~ o(^-^)o
