T-Rex-T, ROAR!

I visited an old fashionholic friend last Saturday. She is selling some of her treasures and I was lucky to be one of the first ones to burrow my hands into them. I left her place with eg. an Unif coat and Jeffrey Campbell shoes, which will most likely appear in my coming posts.

This is what I wore, mostly old second hand finds, of which the radest is definitely the T-Rex-Tee! So random but funny at the same time. Sometimes it's just fun to wear whatever, since the stuff I wear at work at the office is so boring. The boots are actually a bit too big for me, but since they were so cool and made in Italy = quality, I needed to make a 3 euro investment. The warm gloves save my cold winter days. I got them from a nice second hand store Episode in Amsterdam where they recycle materials of old garments. These gloves have prolly been a coat back in the days. I also got a leather biker jacket made of leather pants from the same place. The leather handbag is from London, second hand as well. Couldn't resist its color play! Speaking of which, saw Alegra by Cirque du Soleil tonight. It totally brightened this busy workweek!

H&M jacket and Vero Moda pants, RayBan shades, second hand leather bag from London, recycled material gloves from Episode, second hand beanie and leather boots.

Misty weekend trip

The headline describes my last weekend spent in Turku both literally and figuratively. These pictures don't show how much mist there was, but within an hour after taking these photos – when I drove back home –  it was almost impossible to see further than 50 meters. My mental state wasn't far from misty either. The purpose of the trip was business + pleasure, which is a pretty tiring combination. Nevertheless, had tons of fun with good company and got to see a city I had only passed by before. 

Before leaving Turku, the first capital of Finland before Helsinki stepped onto the scene, we took a little walk by the river Aurajoki and visited the beautiful Turku Cathedral. The locals have a genious way of telling the difference between the sides of the river. "On this side of the river" refers to the side where the church is and "on the other side of the river" is... well, the other side :). Compass points – so overrated! 

On the other side of the river: second hand fake fur vintage coat (made in Paris), second hand boots, Gina Tricot jeans, Steve Madden satchel.
