Blurry pics and blurry thoughts about shopping

These winter days drive me nuts. There is hardly any proper light and my pics go instantly fricking blurry. Well, the point is to show you I don't actually need anymore ANY clothing or shoes so maybe these photos will serve the purpose.

 My t-shirts, tops, longsleeves etc. Plenty of those.
 More longsleeves, vests, jackets.
Boots. New Rocks, bikers, New Rocks, combat boots, sneakers and moccasins. Heels are missing, I've got 4 more pairs of them. Plenty of shoes I'd say.

Conclusion? I don't NEED anything. What I WANT is different thing. But, since my own consuming makes me feel anxious these days, I made a promise to myself. Here it comes:

1. Don't buy anything you don't need. If something gets broken, missing etc you can buy new one, but unless that don't buy anything you already have.

2. Instead, why not spend your money on experiences? Gigs, festivals, u name it. Rather than just material thing you don't use or need.

3. Try to enjoy other things in life. For example, I will pay a visit to home on next weekend and I can't wait. There is Mr. Hedggie, mum and dad, little brother and all little things I love. Like daddy's quiet steps in mornings when he is trying not to wake you up, moment's of joy when you are watching BBC series with dad on sofa, baking with mum, little brother when he is trying to annoy you and you know it's only because he missed you so much.

4. Feel good that your recent purchases have been second hand or bought straight from Etsy and made by one person, not just bunch of kids in India. You have bought quality and are allowed to feel good about it.

5. For the rest of 2014, I will no buy anything unnecessary. This includes make up, other cosmetics, shoes, clothing, jewellery etc. If I want something I can ask it for a birthday present etc. 

In a nutshell, I am so tired of this modern mentality when it comes to shopping. As if it was okay just to spend money on things you don't need? Why not buy good will? I intend to save my money and instead of buying loads of crap I want to consider carefully where to spend.

For example, tattoos are not waste of money. At least not for me.

Recently I've done some shopping and maybe I'll show some of them for you as well, but for now it does not feel good to get any more stuff. I've also made a major clear out in my closet and put loads of things on sale just to get rid of them.

Hipster monkey

I mentioned earlier that I had a huge style crisis. Well, today I picked up my order from H&M and felt comfy yet a bit strange in these clothes. But, rather these than all the fancy pvc stuff I used to wear. The were not too practical considering the arctic conditions up here.

 My purchase included velvet leggings, checkered shirt and black chiffon blouse. All of them ver nice indeed!
 This is how I usually look when I'm at my place: driking coffee, loads of it!
All the best outfit pictures are funny, I think I should take  all of them with my pole!

We have our house warming party (combined with Halloween theme) on Saturday and I can't wait! Have not seen some of my dearest friends in ages and at least one of them is coming.

Galactic wolf

I was all astonishment when I paid a visit to a local K-Mart (well, a Finnish version of it) and found a nicest shirt ever! You should never underestimate your chances to find lovely clothes from very unusual places.



My love for nature themed articles just grows stronger. I'd love to fill my life with trees, crows, wolves and just about everything that has something to do with nature. I guess it's because I used to live midst of it.

Loads of pics

Sorry guys, this time I have too much to show you so I decided to spam all the pics I have on my posting list right now :D So here we go:

Today postman brought me the most fancy leggings I've ever seen! They were expensive (never thought I would pay so much for long-johns) but they are just superb.



These are from Object and first I thought that they were too expensive and decided to wait before purchasing but suddenly they were all sold out and I managed to get the last pair from a foreign store. And I'm  happy I did.

Lately I've been thinking whether I should take Mr.Hedggie with me to Oulu. But, I think it's best for him to stay at my parents because there is lots of room for him to wander around ans also he's made himself home there so it would be cruel to take him away. So, let him be there and munch mealworms. It makes him happy. <3

Just look at him!


He is not the most co-operative when taking pictures. Bloody animal.

I have also dyed my hair, tried to get them more reddish and less black. Now their state is almost there, but not quite yet. I tend to get bored woth black but over and over again want it back. Currently my hair are just so damaged that I won't use any more blonding, just try to get them in better condistion. We'll see.

 Here's my outfit from... Saturday. We went to raid some flea markets with Batsinthe Belfry and I wanted to wear skirt since I've not worn one in...ages.

First snow fell today but now it's almost gone. I'm just watching people posting photos from north and feeling jelaous. I need some frost here!

Hooray to Horror Shop!

The story behind this shirt is quite ridicilous. I ordered it in...May? Yup, late May it was and received it now. You could easily think that I would be quite pissed with the shop but no way. The customer service was superb, they even sent me another shirt when I had not received first one in 3 weeks. The reason why it took so long to get the shirt was that even though I ordered it to my current address, they had in their database my old (really old) address I hadn't changed and the post office kept sending the package to my old addresses until it finally got into the right one. Phew!

But the shirt was SO cool that now I finally have it I don't mind waiting. :3

 Print filled with attitude!
 Viking did not fancy the bloody lady, he's weird.

And let me just clarify, this post is not sponsored by any kind of way. I just wanted to tell you about my very good experience of buying from Horror Shop and I only can recommend it to anyone who fancies cool t-shirts and other weird stuff. So, if that sounds good to you just have a CLICK to the shop.

New shoes, new shoes, new shoes!

Ten points for the one who knows from which tv-show I stole my headline! I just happened to find the pair I managed to miss when they were on sale @nelly.com so that was very fortunate. But, now I'm not so sure about them, they are so fricking HIGH. Maybe I just give them a chance before I sell them...

Oh, hey! I have a huge piece of news for you! I'm moving to Oulu! My bf aka Viking starts to study there and I am moving with him. That means hell lot of arragement for me, but that's ok. My studies are luckily at the point where I can do pretty much things by myself, but that also means that I need to start study at home. Oh geez. But anyway, happy news! My dear friend Daemiana happens to live in Oulu as well, so now we can see each other way more often than now.

The shoes.




I like the futuristic yet feminine look of these shoes, but once I have the chance to use them I can tell for sure whether I will keep then or not.

Here's a small nice treat for you:

I am the endless night

When it comes to shopping, my loyal partner number one is Etsy. There is everything you might need or want! Plus the fact that often articles on sale are self made, which is even better. This time I got something really lovely:

 Here is also one reason why I love to buy from Etsy sellers: packages are just lovely!
 Seller had put some nice cards within the package :3


And just look at it! It's perfect for hiding from the sun, chilling with an excellent book, listening metal or Tori Amos... I love it. The seller was fabulous, shipping really fast and I could not be more happier.

Here is also one thing that made my day after a killer hours at work:

How funny does this colourful pic look amongs the others?
