Flow Festival 2017: Friday

Yesterday it was my first time going to Flow Festival! I've wanted to go since 2011 and now that I finally got to go, I wasn't disappointed at all. The weather was great, I got good company and the festival area was so cool! The perfect place for hanging out and having fun.

The main artist on Friday was Lana Del Rey, who is definitely in my top 5 favorite artists. I was at her concert in 2013 and I can say that her stage presence has improved a lot. Her new album, Lust for life might be my favorite of her so far and I really waited for Cherry and White Mustang. However, maybe the most exciting part of her performance was when some random got on stage out of nowhere, hugged Lana and the security took him away. Lana seemed confused yet amused.

Jacket: Zara - Dress: H&M - Bag: 2nd hand - Shoes: H&M

Flow is the most fashionable festival in Finland, so I knew I had to put on a nice outfit. I came straight off work, so I just chose to wear a simple summer dress. For makeup, I tried something "new" that I called the glitter freckles. That means putting glitter where I would have freckles. I combined two popular trends of 2017, lol.

I got a ticket for Sunday too, so maybe I'll post then, too.

Long time no see

I hate to say this but… long time no see! Recently I’ve only been going to work and have seen my friends very occasionally, so I haven’t had much to post. Some stuff has happened - nothing interesting enough for a single blog post though - so I thought I’d combine them into one blog post.

1. Squatting or gathering flowers, not sure which. 2. The bouquet 3. Me acting like a princess 4. The finished flower crown!

Let’s start with midsummer. I spent it hanging out with friends and chilling at home. I made my first-ever flower crown, which was a lot harder than I thought… but in the end, it looked nice! That was probably the only midsummer-ish thing I did.

1. My necklaces, that should be somewhere else than on the table... 2. Grabbed a coffee with friends 3. Pizza! 4. My outfit, which I think was really cute. I love the mini backbag.

A week ago, my friends and I had a reunion, when our dear friend Linda came back from her student exchange. We ate pizza and watched the movie Burlesque, which has very cool dance scenes but is otherwise very corny and funny. I waited for our reunion a lot, because we haven’t seen each other at the same time for a while now (and one of us is permanently studying abroad, so she couldn’t join us). On top of that, I don’t know when we’ll have everyone gathered up again, since two girls of our group are now leaving for student exchange.

1.&4. Die Antwoord 2.&3. Screenshots of a video I took in the car on the way home.

Other than that, nothing much has happened, except that I went to Provinssi to see one of my favorite bands, Die Antwoord. I really liked their gig in Provinssi two years ago and had to go this year too. Ninja and Yo-Landi both reposted my Instagram-posts (lol, omg, wtf), which was very cool and I felt really honored, but enough about that. I’ve spoken about this way too much, haha. 

Cardigan: Zara - Top: Gina Tricot - Jeans: Mango - Bag: 2nd hand -  Shoes: DinSko

Lastly, here’s one outfit picture. I got those jeans from sale, and I’m so happy how they are high waisted, skinny and have distressed hem. I’ve been looking for jeans like this the whole spring, but no pair has been good enough. After I got them, I also bought that belt, not only because those jeans really need one, but also because I got inspired by all the people wearing the Gucci logo belt.

Temppeliaukio

Glasses: New Yorker - Jacket: Zara - Dress: Monki - Bag: River Island - Shoes: DinSko

Hi everyone! On Wednesday, I met with Jone and we had a lot of catching up to do. We ended up walking to Temppeliaukio and realized, that there are so many beautiful places in Helsinki we never go to. When I meet with her or anyone of my friends, we always go to Kamppi, Rautatientori or Kluuvi – You know, the city center. That realization gave us a thought of exploring the city more this summer. Will we actually do it? I don’t know yet.

The slip dresses are on trend right now, and of course I’ve been wanting one, too. I go along with many “stupid” fashion trends but slip dresses are so basic that I thought I could allow myself that. My dress in the photos was first a lot longer but I just simply cut it with scissors… Yep, the hem is now uneven and I will have to finish it with a sewing machine. Another trend of this summer I’ve been digging: The Princetown leather slippers by Gucci. I bought similar shoes and I’ve been loving how neat they are, but I must say that this trend will last only a second.

Oh, one more thing! I was looking for glasses like these I’m wearing in this photo, and was so surprised when I found them in a store I never go to: New Yorker. I don’t know why I went there because I can never find anything from there, but I’m glad I did!
