when you're around me i'm radioactive



Cardi - Zara
Dress - Primark
Bag - New look

Just a wee outfit post. The temperature has finally risen nearer to zero which makes dressing a lot easier. No need for millions of layers of clothes, two/three pairs of tights and thick cardis that hardly fit under your coat. Now I might even get to put my skates on and stroll to the ice rink. I know, I talk about ice skating all the time.. It just is one of the best things about winter!

Hope your week has started nicely♥!

go break some other heart in two










Another dress I sewed recently. I'm thinking of making my graduation dress with the same pattern, only with the skirt part shorter and puffier.. Not sure at all yet, but I think this one is alright!

and lately you've been painting my world blue



















Just a few pictures showing what my life's been like lately. I finished "Ghost Stories of Henry James" and volume 1 of "Les Miserables". (How come no-one ever told me how good Les Miserables is?) There's a lot of snow, and it's been around -30 for almost two weeks. Luckily, I'm on study leave now and I don't really have to go outside if I don't want to:-)

laura ashley









Mama had found this second hand Laura Ashley fabric, and I'm so glad she bought it for me! I think the flowers are really beautiful, especially as I don't often wear such big patterns. Even though the fabric is quite thick, I wanted to turn it into a dress. The pattern for the dress is from a Finnish sewing magazine (can't remember the name of the magazine, maybe Burda!), but I changed it a wee bit. My dress has an open back and it's a little shorter than the original one. It's a bit tight around my hips, not enough to make it uncomfortable, though!

Be sure to tell me what you think♥!

it's cold outside and i never want to leave my house

Sweater - Dad's old
Hat - Seppälä
Jeans - Vero moda




I've done nothing interesting this week, and that goes for dressing myself as well. It's so cold that I've basically had this same outfit the whole week, with a different sweater. This is the first week in years I've had trousers on every week! And also the first week in years I've had no make-up for a week (at school etc. at least!). Hopefully, life will get a bit better and warmer now!
