FOR YOUR LOVER GIVE SOME TIME

HOW CANDY CAN YOU GO?

Very candy; I'm matching the colours of my new kitchen:

I think it's alright to dress super pastel and candy-like to the verge of getting a toothache if you break it off with some darker colour, like here, deep red. And after a week of wearing a paint-covered old Iggy Pop t-shirt it felt great to break that off with something totally different, even if it only was for a moment.

Now it's back to the tee and a whole lot of wall paper!


The skirt and the bag are vintage from Q's Daydream, the top is from Freddies of Pinewood.
(The hairflowers are from Tiimari, cut of their branch and tucked in my hair roll and I think you all know the shoes.)

FLAT-TO-BE phase 4; DETAILS

I've been running around on meetings and doing errands and renovating. In other words, I've been way from the internet most of the time and that makes me feel terribly isolated.
(Such a 21- century problem, getting all anxious after couple of days away from the internet!)

But with the flat; we're getting there. (There's not too much else to blog about this week I'm afraid :)
The living room is getting it's wall paper and I've put the old, cleaned light switches back on.


A lot of thing s will be in my favorite color combination, pearl grey and white (as seen in my header among other things). The door frames for example.


My mom was cleaning out one of the closets and saved this tin jar for me. Fazer is the biggest company (and also and one of the oldest) of bred, biscuits and most of all sweets, in Finland.


We are also keeping the original wardrobe closet. I planned to paint the closets sky blue but there was a lot of pink over from the kitchen. Alas, closet is now pink.


And the kitchen is coming up. We're making it pretty much the same as the original kitchen, only with some modern benefits. Some parts were bought ready but we have also ordered some items handmade from a carpenter. We've kept the original door handles from the old kitchen.


Eddi put up the tiles yesterday. Kitchen will be ready today and I'm off now to pick up some more wall paper we've ordered!

One of the many smaller things I like about summer is that it is so much easier to dress. And nicer since it's less to think about. (And in general you can wear nicer outfits too, but that depends on how you see it. Sometimes I prefer autumn outfit-wise too). Either way it's not that warm here now, so I still have to drag a jacket along to be on the safe side.

This is what I'll be wearing today, for a little while while doing some errands. Then I'll slip into something more, eh, practical as I start painting doors in the new flat.

The skirt is vintage, found at our summer cottage, and the blouse Trashy Diva.
