Mango pullover. H&M skirt and shoes. DIY triangle bag.
Twas a depressing day indeed: these photos were taken the day my purse was stolen. Okay, so I didn't have anything valuable in it (in other words, 5 euros and my national library card), because I decided to clean it out the day before. Lesson of the day: don't use tote bags, use real bags, which people won't be able to just put their hands into from behind you without you noticing. Anyway, the comments and emails I've been getting about KNEON have been so positive and really want to thank you all, once again, for being so supportive!
p.s. A big shout out to my favourite ginger Phieso (codename? maybe), who's convinced I don't update my blog nearly as much. Have fun on your trip to Beijing!

You really have no idea how happy I am about this little magazine. It's taken me so much more than time to put it all together and I want to thank you all, my amazing readers, for supporting me, encouraging me and making me feel like I can do it. You are the best. This one's for you all.
h&m tie dye tank dress and shoes. gifted necklace. bangle from beijing.
Yeaaah, I kind of need a manicure. My 50% polished nails just don't look that great on photos I'm afraid. Too bad - I kind of go used to them. work work work...that's been my motto for life the past few days. Still, I managed to make a couple of new websites (which I'll show you once I'm done), worked on KNEON (a lot), and had like a gazillion photoshoots. At least I have a ton to show you all!
Zebra crop-sweater courtesy of warm pixie. h&m studded leggings. belle gladiators. mango bag. camera necklace from beijing.
I used to have this huge grudge against leggings as pants and I vowed to never do such a thing. I guess it's true that you should never say never! Makes you look like a downright fool, that's what it does. Anyway, I love my new sweater, mainly because of the mignon zebra on it. And i love how the weather has turned kind of cold so that I can layer up again. Oh and KNEON will be out in a few short days! I'm just finishing off the layout and making sure everything is in order. Then it'll be out and this is where I'll publish it first - you all deserve to see it before anyone else!
I had my second party-photographing gig on friday and this time it was a pirate-themed party at Clubschiff. oh yes. Okay, so I was disappointed by how few people dressed up but it was interesting and very hot. quite literally. Oh and I recognized one of the bouncers and he turned out to be from my school! Coincidence, coincidence.
hm dress. misc rings. hm glasses and hat (in stores soon).
haha don't worry - I didn't go out the house looking like this! A bit too colorless for my taste, but i needed a break from pastels and bright summer pops of saturation. How is everyone's holiday going? I just hit the 50% mark on my holidays and I'm starting to realize that I actually have a load of work to do. So yeah, better start that. On another note, I finished watching Glee! It's so addicting and i love love love it :) Finn is such a sweetie and I love how he has asian eyes. Do any of you watch it?
I was checking through my emails and was pleasantly surprised when I found this little treasure amongst them. Thank you so much, Anthony! I love love love it.
Some bits and pieces from the past couple of months. There isn't really a caption or description for each of these, so I'll just throw them all out here. It's up to you to decide about the stories and feelings behind each one. On another note, this is my 206th post on this blog. How amazing is that? I can't believe I've actually kept this blog up for so long. This has got to be my longest on-going project ever and I'm just so happy that you read and comment and visit my blog. It really means a lot to me.
h&m fashion against aids top and skirt. pieces bag.
This is the post where I'm going to tell you all about my new job. I've always loved party photos by Mark the Cobrasnake, and now I finally have the chance to try and take some of my own party photos too. Oh yes. I'm the newest tadpole in the party photography pond and I'm lovin it. I had my first gig yesterday and it was amazing. It was so great to mingle with fresh people and dancing like a hooligan with them and take pictures of them being crazy and awesome. I love this. I love this job. And I love the feeling I get when I press down on the shutter and the light flashes and that moment of optimistic hysteria and happiness gets documented forever. Below are a couple of my favourite shots from last night. Click here to see all the photos!
h&m cardigan and dress (both in stores soon). sonia rykiel for h&m bow.
Yes i know, that shirt needs ironing. And yes i know, i look like a pissed ladycat in the fourth photo. I just wanted to show you all this freakishly perfect cardigan in all its embellished glory. It's a part of the autumn/winter collection for H&M, so definitely look out for it when it comes out! I think its one of those pieces your wardrobe would be emo without. Anyway, as some of you know, I got a summer job, and tonight will be my first ever "shift". Now now, don't jump to hasty conclusions! I'll tell you all about it soon.
It's sticky, hot and mosquito-infested outside, so I have no clue how I managed to survive a day out in a long-sleeved black shirt and leather pants. Sometimes I tend to dress out of season. Just sometimes. Anyway, life's taken an unexpected turn and I also have so much to do, so I won't be able to blog as much as I would like to. But I have some interesting projects planned and I really can't wait to share them with you!
The Sounds concert tee. zara skirt. gifted necklace. doc martens. ray bans. pieces bag.
I wore this to meet anna the other day. We bought concert tickets, drank iced chocolate and went shopping for camera flashes. This t-shirt has got to be one of my absolute favourites. The Sounds is my favourite band in the entire world and their concert was definitely was of the best nights of my life. Maja was simply astounding. Her energy, her swedish allure, everything was so perfect. I want nights like those again soon.
