As we are getting closer to Christmas (soooo crazy, time has gone way too fast!!) I decided to post some a bit more Christmassy songs I like. Maybe not the most traditional ones but I really like these, also the old ones though. -(n.n)- So here you go, hope you like them too!

At this part before I add more music I could say that yes, I like a cappella. And Pentatonix is amazing. \(ö.Ô)-  Also a cappella songs are fun to start sing with, haha.

This is what I've looked like the past few days, or weeks. Mornings, lectures, school work, grocery shopping, being at home. All the same. Today was also just sooo perfect morning. I'm gonna tell you my morning story:

So what happened first, I woke up 5am. As I was told there's one word for that: insane. I DIDN'T do that on purpose, no way, I was gonna sleep till 10am but this happened. Well I tried to sleep more and finally around 10am when I still hadn't slept any more I was starving so bad that I had to get up and go eat noodles. I was sitting there quietly when I heard someone come in and thought it was my roomie. That person went upstairs when I started thinking that it didn't sound like my roomie... Well then I heard our bathroom door close and that person went there, yes, to actually use the toilet. "Who the heck came here!!!????" I was still sitting in our kitchen staring at the doorway almost terrified. That person, he, went next to the shower room and started doing something when I had to go upstairs to see what on earth was going on. It was a maintenance guy. Who apparently had come to fix our shower. That wasn't good. Not at all. Since I still needed to get a shower before my lecture. So after a while waiting and wondering what to do now I texted my friend if I could use her shower. Well she took so long to answer that I had to wash my hair in a sink... Using ice cold water. I think my head was deep frozen for a while. And then my friend answered.

Sometimes I think this can only happen to me... But I'm glad there are also people like my roomie who has dropped her noodles to the sink already a few times. Makes me feel a lot better, haha. -(e.-)/

This is not a Christmas song buuuut... Love it!! :P

Pentatonix - Sing

For King and Country - Priceless (love this song)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPgSrMOTnqM&list=RDpPgSrMOTnqM#t=145

I just saw a trailer of Assassin's Creed movie which comes to cinemas this December (I think...?). I. Must. See. It!!!! O.O It looks AMAAAZING! This is a good time to live... Definitely. Also, in March there will be that new Wolverine movie Logan(!!!) and now there's The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Too many amazing movies I so want to see... \(ë.-)/

It's Christmas holiday in a week's time... It so doesn't feel like it and I have four assignments to do, two group ones and two solos. Also one presentation next week and an exam after Christmas... And they say first year in uni is easy. What are the next three gonna be like?! I won't have a holiday, it's working from home. But I am sooo glad I can meet my friends back in Finland after so long time! Been missing them a lot. \(^.^)/ Yes, I'm somehow hyped at the moment, got some weird energy even though it's almost midnight. And I ain't one of those who can easily stay up very late, but I also ain't one of those who can wake up early in the morning. Nope, that's just pain. I'm a permanent form of tiredness.

What I've been missing from Finland for these 3-4 months: friends, family, snow, cupboard for drying dishes, rooms without carpets, fireplace, sauna, meatballs and my sewing machines. I'm planning on (hopefully) making at least a jacket and a skirt while I'm back there.

Now I got tired again. I feel like my moods change in a second. Just like half an hour ago I was sitting in our kitchen scrolling my pinterest and laughing out loud to funny memes. My roomies were actually looking at me like 'are you okay?'. This is why I don't scroll pinterest or read manga on a public place, I don't own a poker face. And, I am easily amused, haha.

Fix the beautiful

"We all got a dream, all gotta be somebody, be someone.

So please, be somebody with me."

Boyce Avenue - Be Somebody

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk4Kpx-_zsU

"She dreams to be an envy, so she's starving

You know, "Covergirls eat nothing."

She says, "Beauty is pain and there's beauty in everything."

"What's a little bit of hunger?"

"I could go a little while longer, " she fades away

She don't see her perfect, she don't understand she's worth it

Or that beauty goes deeper than the surface."

Alessia Cara - Scars to Your Beautiful

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HgjPbeisw8

It is sometimes hard to see yourself the way others do. Sometimes you just look into the mirror and see all the horrible things: your eyes are not symmetric, your skin is too pale, you look fat and what about those teeth, let's not even talk about them. Simply you just feel horrible and ugly. You go out shopping and the clothes you try on don't fit and the light in the fitting room shows all the mistakes in your body. You leave and don't buy anything. On streets you see those perfect looking girls with their skinny jeans and glowing hair. How could you feel good and beautiful after that? You just want to disappear cause you don't feel like life is worth living for. But in reality, you just want to be found, you want to be seen, heard and told that you are beautiful and important.

The subject people don't talk about enough, not at schools or anywhere else. Eating disorders. There are so many girls and guys who suffer from anorexia (or something similar). Everyone of them has their own reason for it but I could say most common is the pressure of the outside world to fit into the "cookie cutter" mold. I was one of those people some# years ago. So here, my story:

I come from a fairly small city where "all" the young people my age knew each others and had their own circles. If you weren't part of those circles you didn't fit in. Everyone looked the same, the hair, the clothes and even the ways to act were the same. If you were different you most probably got bullied. The pressure of "fitting in" was horrible. Or that's how I always felt it. So high school, the years everyone loves so much (notice the sarcasm), it became my mission to know each calorie in the food I ate and if it was over the amount I was "allowed" to eat in a day I didn't eat it. I was slim, I have always been, but especially then, still I felt bigger than ever. The image of myself had twisted in my head and I couldn't see myself as I really was. Not until a few years later I moved away, with a purpose of getting out of that town for good. I went to study Bible (as I am a Christian and I wanted to know more) and later music and got a bunch of new friends who literally had to teach me how beautiful I am. Even without counting those calories. Today, I can say that I am beautiful too and so loved. I can't say those times wouldn't have any impact on me anymore, if I did say that I would be lying. I know too much, haha, but this time I'm gonna use all that knowledge in a good way.

But I, from first hand experience, know how hard it is to suffer from an eating disorder and how indescribably hard it is to get over it. Basically, there's no way anyone could do it on their own. One reason is that there needs to be someone who has strength to continuously tell you how much you mean to him/her. Even if you don't buy it for the first few weeks, months or years, you will at some point. Maybe just to make that person stop saying it cause it's irritating you like crazy, lol -(ë.ë)/.

But why is being slim and looking like a "covergirl" made to be the standard of beautiful? That I can't understand and people should really think a bit more about it. There's no reason why it should be like that and still media keeps showing us that image. At the moment I feel so sorry for those young people in their sixteens (+/- around). My sister is at that age and through her I can see everything I saw at that age. It's sad how it's still the same, or even worse after so many years.

If we're strong enough

Hey! I've lost track on days already, I have no idea anymore how long I've been in England now. Maybe about two months... That's shorter time than what I spent in Australia and still it feels ten times longer. I've been really busy with school, work and getting my life together. Oh, and I got my first assignment back today!! You know what, I passed! ;) That was my goal and I did it, and actually with a better mark than I expected to get. Now I can set my bar higher cause I know I can actually do it and a lot better too (yes, I am a bit ambitious). I have also been enjoying our kitchen practical lectures a lot cause then we really get to do something, even though those weeks are super long and exhausting.

Oh how much I just wanna go around the world and see places and actually experience the trip, go the way there. I won't settle with just seeing the tourist places, actually I've never been so into those. I haven't yet understood what's so special about them, like Big Ben in London or Eiffel Tower in France. Could someone explain me why they are so "must-sees", cause I don't care to see them.

Something I would be so interested to know.

I went to church last Sunday morning and there was this guy talking about his work, how they help women and children trapped into human trafficking and so on. It was a great and inspiring speech which reminded me of something I had thought about already some years ago. I have been wanting to do something to help the women who voluntarily or involuntarily end up in the prostitution business. I know one way how I could possibly get to some place in the world to do voluntary work related to the previous but now I'm in a university so I dunno if I have to wait for four years before I could do that. Hopefully not, but we'll see. Maybe I could get a chance to go somewhere on summer. Of course there are other ways to help too than just concretely going somewhere.

 For a few days now I have been feeling like I would like to graduate already... I just started uni. ^_^' And it will still take me about those four years to really get out of there, not that I wouldn't like to be there, nope that's not it, I just got this weird feeling. But if I stay focused and concentrate on studying (and working and still have a life lol) and try not to make my life more difficult I believe those four years will pass quite quickly. At least that's what I hope for! -(ñ.n)/

Gavin James - For You

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Togf-xagTJA

I feel like people spend way too much time thinking about what they look like, what they should look like and how people see them. There's no such things as "you should be/look like this and that". Or there should not be. And it's just so wrong if someone judges you based on your looks. This thought came to my mind when I was scrolling pictures of nice clothes in Pinterest and came across with one very cute asian-style outfit. It had a white short skirt and light blue sweater. It is so not my style. Or that's how I thought while I was also thinking how adorable it was. I sent the pic to my friend and asked her 'what if I wore this kind of outfit?', 'It wouldn't suit me, right?'. What she answered was 'Yes it would suit you!! So adorable.... except the sweater', cause it had a weird ice cream cone with a text on it, lol. Yes, why would it not suit me? Because most of the time I wear more classy or rock-ish styled clothes? Does it mean then I can't wear cute light blue sweaters with odd ice cream cones printed on them? Because it's not my style? I would say it's maybe not the style people are used to see me wear but it doesn't mean it's not my style. Cause everything I wear is my style. Same goes with personality. One day I'm super social and basically talk to everyone I meet when the other day I put my earphones on and try my best to avoid people. Those both are just parts of me, some people just tend to see only one side of me. Or of anyone else. And then those people think if I am having a bad day or something. Nope, I'm not. There are just days when one doesn't feel like being social or wearing nice clothes or spending time to put on makeup or drinking coffee in the morning to be properly awake. So to sum it, yea do whatever you want to do, wear whatever you feel like wearing, it will still all be "you". No-one else is to say anything to that.

Jessica Mauboy - Never Be The Same

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGOuiu0dA7o

Oh, and one other thing. Once one of my friends told me something that got stuck in my mind. 'Do whatever-kind-of random thing whenever and where-ever you want, you can shout in a bus or lie on a street if you feel like it. You should do it. Yes people will stare at you for a moment but then they'll go on and won't remember it anymore'. Or the idea was that and it's so true. Live people, don't be afraid.

Galantis & Hook N Sling - Love On Me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNqO3_95Wfg

Btw, today I decided to go for a little walk... Well, it ended up being 10km and I didn't even get where I was going to. I wanted to go to the airport here to watch the planes come and go. I did see some flying over me, they were so amazing. Next time I will get there, today I just had to turn back cause I needed to get to a meeting... I also want to find a place where I could climb up to a roof and just chill out there. Weird things on my bucket-list, haha.

MKTO - American Dream

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPLeuBXoPXI

I knew when i came to UK that its culture is a bit different from ours in Finland but still mostly the same cause both countries are western anyway. But I thought I could tell you some things I've noticed so far.

1. You might have to show your ID when buying a knife, even a plastic one (that's just plain stupid)
2. Drivers rarely stop to let you cross the road (I'm so gonna get hit by a car someday)
3. People are not as polite as expected
4. The amount of forms to fill out and paperwork is huuuuuge
5. British humor is on the whole other level than Finnish -(^_^')-
6. People laugh at you if you drink from a tap, that's what cats do apparently...
7. Some British accents are way too difficult to understand, sometimes I have no idea what some people are saying, "yeees... *nodding*"
8. Bus drivers are really nice! (mostly..)
9. People make friends really quickly, but not necessarily so strong friendships
10. These people eat LOTS of sandwiches
11. Living here is actually pretty expensive
12. There are too big spiders in this country o.o
13. For some reason people seem less happy here than when compared to Australia where I was a year ago
14.When you get ill, you never get better again
15. Not all the Britts are good at small talk... I feel like a social person at times lol

16. There's Lidl here!!!
17. There aren't so many girls with short hair. Or then I'm in too small city again (T_T)
18. This country will turn you into a crazy person (as if I already wasn't one though....)
19. It's almost impossible to find nice jeans long enough to reach my ankles (am I too tall or just picky??!)
20. There's just something wrong with this country!! :P

Ever get that feeling? I do... I certainly do. Hiding under the blanket for the whole day is luxurious.

I have a list of things I would really want to do but so far I haven't had time, money, chance or just the feeling. But I wish in the near future I can do even some of the things on my to-do-list. I want to go to a rock concert, I want to go swimming in the middle of a night, I want to draw properly again (it's been a year or so since I last drew something... o_o), I want to sing, I want to go jogging, I want to have a great night out with my friends, I want to go hiking and I really want to learn to dance modern dance, ballet or salsa.

It looks like me on those days I've had a bit too much coffee... Or sugar.

SVRCINA - Meet me on the battlefield

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZrddJPGp1I

Today has been an amazing day!! Maybe the best day for months. I woke up at 10am but got up 11.30... I had two options: go wash laundry or sleep later, well it was not that hard of a decision to make. After taking my morning slowly I head out 1.30pm to the audition for contemporary dance society in my university. I was quite nervous cause I don't actually have any experience on contemporary dance, just of rhythmic gymnastics, ice skating and a bit of ballet... But I love dancing! And it was so much fun, difficult but fun. Though I dunno if they'll choose me to be part of the team/society because there were so many girls who had a lot of background either on contemporary dance or ballet... And I'm not that good. But we'll see what happens. Anyways I had a really good time. After the audition I went jogging and I can tell you, it felt sooooo good! After three weeks' break I could not have wished more. Now my legs are sore, my back and arms hurt and I feel so exhausted. In other words: I could not be happier at the moment cause I know I've been able to exercise today. The pain in the muscles after exercising is one of the best things in the world, lol. That's something everyone doesn't understand though.

My evening I'm spending alone at home!!!! Wooow... such rare occasion. Now I can play music loud, sing and basically do whatever I want, haha. I will also watch Step Up 3D and eat one of the delicious raspberry white chocolate cookies my roomie made. -(^.^)- This Sunday has been so nice and relaxing, just what I needed. I haven't had a single day when I wouldn't have done some school stuff or work. And I would have a lot of things to do now too but... I will give myself a day off and continue working tomorrow.

SVRCINA - Lover. Fighter.

In memory of the person whom my family lost year ago yesterday. I miss you so much. Hope you are in a better place right now smiling down on us. Take care of your card game skills so we can play when we meet again!

Yes, unexpected things happen in life, for sure, that should be taken for granted. You can't always prepare yourself for everything. But you can always trust that things can get better again, or worse, and they will if you just let them. But what I want to say is 'don't worry'. Cause there's nothing to worry about to be honest. Yes, life gives you s*it, yes you are under loads of stress and yes you will trip to your own feet in front of your crush. But all that is just temporary. If you start to think about it how many good memories can you come up with right now? I got quite many. There are so many good things that have happened in everyone's lives, you might not just remember them right now. But they are there. So why wouldn't you get more of them soon again? I know I will. Maybe I even get a good night's sleep and wake up with a bright mind to my tomorrow's 9am lecture (...which so won't happen). But I can always imagine it could... Lol. But don't worry, don't take life too seriously. It's just life, one messy bit.

All I tell you

Hey there! ^.^ I know... It's been (again) a long time since I wrote here but to be honest, I've been incredibly busy here in Bournemouth! At the moment I'm trying to balance my life between studying, working and the rest of the time I have left. Oh and lets not forget that I've been ill for the last 1,5 weeks... Not so nice. In a few days I've been here a month (!!!), how time flies. I don't feel like being here a month, maybe more like half a year. And at the same time I feel like I just came here a few days ago, kinda odd.

First two weeks I spent on a training session for my part time job as a Resident Assistant and how I feel about my work now, most of the time I'm just thinking 'what have I done', lol. I don't know the answers for half the questions people ask me, I'm still trying to find my own way on campus and I should be able to give directions to others, I should be able to help those who have problems with their accommodation or any other kind of problems they wanna tell us and people come to ring our door bell in the middle of a night to get ping pong pads!!! (we are going to put a note somewhere saying 'do NOT come to our door from 10pm to 9am' or something like that... 'unless it's an emergency and ping pong pads don't count as one'... that's how I would write it, haha). But yeah... I dunno how I'm gonna survive of this job gracefully for a year.

I went jogging to the beach a few times when I was still living in my previous accommodation. It was sooo fun! Would like to do it again ^.^ now I just live about 3km away from the beach... well, it ain't that far.

The view from the previous halls I lived in.

Then my school started, as did the fresher's weeks. And on the first Monday I got this fr*aking flu which doesn't wanna die away. But on that Monday I and my three friends went to a fresher's party called District and it was soooooo great! They played metal/rock/punk music and the club wasn't too full so we had room to dance. And well, the music was just the kind of music I really like -(^.^)/ Not that I wouldn't like the pop/techno whatever music they normally play on clubs, I do, but it was great to have some rock music as well. Then on Thursday my roommate's friend came here for the weekend and on Thursday evening we went to a club again because Hodor (!!!) was there as a DJ. This time the club was so full packed we hardly had space to move at all. It wasn't so nice but a great evening anyways. Then on Friday and Saturday we were just hanging out as a group, chilling out and attending the fresher's fare on Saturday (getting loads of free stuff, we got about 4-6 free Lidl bags each one of us to our flat and now we have an army of Digestive packs, noodles, dish-washing liquids and toothpaste xD). On Sunday I, my roommate and her friend went to the beach where we built a quirky looking sandcastle (lmao, it was fun) and my roommate's friend went swimming (crazy....). We couldn't cause both of us are still ill (-_-). And he didn't even get sick!!! How unfair is this world... Awell, now's a new week and I'm thinking of going to check out a Christian Union's meeting this evening. Can't let the flu stop me from going anymore, it's been going on for too long already. How annoying. I really want my voice back already... And I reeeeeeally want to be able to exercise again! Too long time since the last time.

From Westbourne where is so wonderful bookstore! Love it.

District timeeee, yaay! Before I cut my hair ;) It's quite short again

I started watching The Pacific again!! It's too great show. I'm on episode 6 now and I watch it whenever I have a free moment haha.

And yes, we have two horses like 200 meters away from my flat and our university. I have no idea what they are doing there, we don't even live on a countryside. This is a small city but... Still not countryside. But they're pretty.

Live the life - here I go

So much for writing here more often.. I had time for absolutely nothing ^^' Oh well... But! Now it has officially started, my journey to England and the next four years as a uni student!! o.o So scary! How can I survive!? I have huuuge doubts on myself atm.

 

Friday 2nd September (I wrote this in parts....)

Right now I'm sitting in an airplane on my way to Stockholm and from there to London. I'll spend a night in an airport hotel and then continue my trip to Bournemouth by bus. I'll also spend the next night in a hotel, just in Bournemouth, before I can go to my university where the training session for my part time job begins on Sunday 4th. Geez... That too! What have I done?! Was I being over confident in my skills when I decided to take that job? Just studying in a university (after four years of doing anything else than that) wasn't enough for my I guess. (-_-) I must have been out of my mind, lol. But I'm more than glad to know I have so lovely and amazing friends and family at home in Finland (and elsewhere) who I can meet quite easily and who I can (almost) always call if I need/want to. -(^.^)/ I was also happily surprised to receive a message from a friend I hadn't heard of for months! -(n.n)- And getting very encouraging words from friends, acquaintances and family has been great. It's also wonderful to hear how so many ppl think/trust that I can actually do this, even though I have doubts, haha. Maybe I shouldn't have. Well, it's too late to go back now! Now I'll just... survive. Adapt to this new life, try to make new friends and pass my exams. Everything in English... That will be interesting. I hope my English would improve soooo much. I make mistakes all the time and I have an accent! xD Nouh..

Updating from a plane to London! ;) A week ago my big sister got married (!!), she is now Mrs! :o Wow, pretty amazing. She was soo beautiful bride <3 She had a form fitting  slightly mermaid style lace dress with a bit of pearl/glitter decoration on the front and back. Oh, and a very low-cut open back! Preeetttyyyy. The wedding itself was a lot of fun and fit the wedding couple perfectly, at least IMO. And I got to be a bridesmaid (with my sis' friend, there were to of us). Which meant: work! :D But it was fun and I liked being a bridesmaid even though I was super busy with all the preparations for my uni life. But But But!! Let's not forget a very important event of that day! When the bride throws her bouquet. ;) (or in this case, when the unmarried women pull the ribbons to get the bouquet). I was in charge of explaining how that goes and ofc I took part in it too (single as I am, lol). You know the result already? ;) Indeed, I was the lucky one to get the flowers! So, my sis gave me three years time and then I'll get married. Must be destiny, right? ;D Oh well, we'll see what happens. If all goes as planned, I'll still be in uni starting my last year of the undergraduate program. But anything can happen, as we can see. I'm in England and the world is open full of opportunities.

Mayhem in my life

Heyy! Again it's been sooo long since I last wrote here! It has been quite a mayhem here lately so I haven't really had much spare time. :/ But to update my daily life, I have tried to get done all kinds of things in regards to moving to England. I feel like I've forgotten almost everything I should've done but hopefully I haven't! Last weekend I was 24/7 on my computer writing/creating an application for one job in England and I got invited to an interview!!! Omgosh! I'm sooo happy -(^.^)- I've also spent quite a lot of time with my friends which has been great. Got to spend the last moments in Finland with lovely people. I've also eaten a lot of chocolate lately... Oh noes... That has to stop, lol. And as every autumn bees go crazy so it has been almost a daily pleasure for us to have at least one bee coming into our apartment... I hate bees. But now I've gotten so used to it that I don't panic anymore when I see one buzzing around in here. But then one morning I found this about 2cm long centipede from my floor and it totally gave me a heart attack. Those are even more disgusting than spiders and ants... Gives me chills to remember it. I also saw a ghost dream last night... There were ancient Mexican looking faceless ghosts at this abandoned dump pit for cars and they attacked me. It was a bit creepy dream. (o.o) So here you have the latest events, maybe from last two weeks.

I'm still working at the same fashion store where I started last April so I have to wear something nice every day. Or almost every day... Sometimes I wear track pants and a long shirt just because I'm too tired in the morning, haha. But to the point, I thought I could put a small collage of some outfits I've had recently. My camera is just not so good and the lighting is also really bad in my room so the pics are not that great but no can do. -(ö.ö)- I also never have time to take pics before work so... Gotta do that afterwards when I'm already exhausted and messy, lol.

And now I will watch a few episodes of Criminal Minds!!! And then if I can still stay awake I'll check out the opening ceremony from Rio Olympics! -(ñ.ñ)/ I'll try my best to keep updating this a bit more often... ^^' haha. 

Oh the amount of mainstream music I've heard since April! There are some good songs too that I've heard, and learned because.... The same playlist every. single. day. Lmao. Enjoy!

Life changes

 

Now I think I can finally write this here, as confirmed information: England here I come! In about two months I'll be moving to England for about four years to study in university. This is all kinda new and overwhelming, and also exiting and scary. I'm going to a place where I don't know anyone (possibly), I'm gonna study after four years break and in a new language! Wow... It's still quite hard to believe it's actually gonna happen. But at the moment it's also really stressful, cause I need to do all kinds of applications for loans, accommodation etc. And I'm so not good at those, lol. But I hope I can get everything done in time. So, if you wanna meet me before I leave this country, you have about two months time to do that -(^.^)/.

 

I've been thinking about so many things lately that my mind is just overflowing right now. And being super tired (five hours of sleep every night except on weekends) is prob not helping it. I gotta do something about this. Like going to sleep earlier and not just eat and chat with ppl for so late at night... Lol. But it's already become a habit, and also one I like. I don't wanna change it and at the same time I so do. My days at work mostly go being in a daze and walking zombie-like. Once one customer asked me how to get to the main road right in front of the mall I work at and I was just looking at him like 'are you kidding me, how could I know'. Well, to defend myself I have veeeery bad sense of direction especially when indoors but still, I've been working there for three months now, I should know. But I'm so glad one of my co-workers was there and came to my help, I must have had this really desperate look on my face, lmao. And after work the best moment of the day comes: I might have time to take a nap. Even 15 minutes does miracles. I've become old... I can't stay up late without being exhausted the next few days and I need (and I like) to take naps. I must be too old already, lol. Oh, and let's not even start to talk about these black shadows under my eyes! I might not wanna look like a mix of a zombie and vampire when I go to England. Yeah... Prob not.

There are two songs that have officially become "my songs". Their lyrics are just so perfect. There could not be better songs to fit me. -(ë.-)/

Fashion spam

Hey! It's been about two weeks since I last wrote here.. I've been extremely tired (though it's all my own fault, lol) and also quite busy. I thought I could make a fashion post this time since I've been checking out and working with clothes for a while now. Fashion for my own taste, though. Not just any fashion. All these pics in this post are from Pinterest. It's gonna be a fashion pics' spam, lol.

I don't like to wear just one type of clothes, like classic or punk, but I would say my style combines a few different styles, grunge, classic, chic, bohemian and just casual. It's been nice to create my own look and not just buy all my clothes from the same shops everyone else uses too. Oh yes, I also make some of my clothes myself.

First some examples of more classier style

 

I love maxi-skirts and dresses, those just fit me so well and make me look even taller than I am. They're also perfect even for windier weather.

 

 

Yellow has been my all-time-favorite color. Though there are different shades to it and not all are great.

 

 

This is how I usually look like when I wear a skirt. Plus that green color is gorgeous.

 

 

A simple dress with a bit of edge to it is a must-have.

 

Then some that are more grunge or rock-ish styles

 

This is like an everyday-wear outfit.

 

 

I just want those clothes... They've melted my heart.

 

 

Two-piece outfits and hats I like a lot. Especially the combination of a fitted skirt and a loose shirt, doesn't fail.

 

These are more casual looks but still chic



 

I loooove pullovers, have to get one of those, they're so comfy.

 

 

Scarfs work for any outfit. And (almost) any weather.

 

That kind of jeans are on my must-have list too.

 

 

And then very simple casual dress with boots, looks cute.
