purple

More outfit & make up posts - that's what I'm going to try to do more often from now on, again.

This is the latest jacket I made. Purple wool fabric, black lace and leather. I'm very happy with how it turned out, though the collar isn't as perfect as I'd have wanted it to be.. I love fake leather, but I hate sewing it!

And here's two other purple outfits. The left one has been my favourite outfit lately, I wear it almost all the time! The outfit on the right is the one I was wearing today. It's been like forever since I wore anything like that, as I've only wanted to wear some large shirts and ties recently.. But today I felt like trying something different again. I've lots of clothes, would be a waste to leave most of them just hanging in the racks and collecting dust!

My make up of the day was also more dramatic than usually. I've been super lazy when it comes to make up.. Haven't done any extreme or colourful looks lately, just simple black smokey eye look everyday. Boring.

I have to admit, I'm so obsessed with my iPhone that I even used Instagram to edit the pics! Unfortunately it automatically crops the pictures so I can't use it for absolutely everything though..

back in Finland, back in the blogosphere

Hey everyone! I went to London to do my practical training last September as I mentioned in my last post here forever ago.. Well, I'm back in Finland now, and also decided to start blogging again!  

I was going to start with few picture heavy posts about my time in London but .. Well. Ended up deleting the first new post as suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable with sharing so much here. I've just  checked the statistics of my blog and I'm soo surprised that so many people are visiting my blog even though I've been so inactive! I don't want to let this blog be too personal, I want to focus on make up looks and clothes and stuff like that, and keep most of the personal stuff like pics with friends etc on FB and on my computer. .

Anyways, I had an amaaaazing time in London! Not going to post many pics here, but let me tell you about some highlights of my time there.

• I got closer with my friends, also made some new friends, and even met some internet friends for the first time in real life! Miss them already. ♥
• Went out at least once a week, sometimes twice or even three times. Had so much fun partying with my friends! I never really go out here in Finland..
• I was working for Minna Hepburn , and really enjoyed it. 
• The house I was living in, it was great, my room was like 3 times bigger than my room in Finland.. And all my flatmates were very nice too!

  

  

  
  

• Went to my first fashion show ever! Kristian Aadnevik. Was amazing, I love his designs.
• Saw Toyah performing..
• and Massive Ego and Dusty O..
• and Joe Black !
• Almost went to Boy George's gig too, already bought the ticket... but the gig got cancelled. :( (I've seen him 3 times before, so it wasn't the end of the world.)
• Also went to a club where Boy George was supposed to be DJing, but he got ill and didn't come there. Had a great time anyway!
• Amanda Lepore was also hosting at some party where I went to!
• My family came for a surprise visit! They just UNexpectedly turned up at my work place one day, I was so shocked.. Even my mum came, even though she's terrified of flying!
• Also two of my friends from Finland came to visit me, and few sent me letters! I love real letters!
• Spent the christmas with two of my friends. My first christmas away from my family.. Had a great time! But from now on I wanna spend every christmas at home.. Christmas is a family event for me. 

Going to post about couple other events I went to in London, and then I'm ready to start posting some make up looks and outfits again! And yes, I also have looots of catching up to do with all the blogs I'm following as I've been away for so long .. (Ughh and the photo uploader on blogger hates me.)

update #3

Heyy everyone ! I'm here again, letting you guys know that I'm still alive, even though I've been absent lately!

There's been a lot going on lately ... School, friends etc. I've been super busy, and tired .. And I also have to take a little (or actually quite long break from blogging now!)  I'm going to London on Friday, and staying there for 4 months!! I'm doing my practical training there, I'll work in Minna Hepburn's studio!

I don't have a laptop or anything while I'm in London, so I won't be able to blog from there ... (and, I suppose there's going to be soooo many things to blog about when I come back in January, so don't know if I can get anything done then either, hahh)




So, here's few random pics and info of some things that've happened lately.

My friend Dille moved to Tampere to study, and I've seen him few times! It's so funny, he used to live about 800 km from me, he was my furthest friend from Finland.. And now he's the closest! Doesn't he look amazing with my pink net top and black nipple tapes! ;)

I wanted to go ice cream shopping.. And my brother took me on a motorcycle ride! It was my second time on motorcycle, and so scary...

My brother's fiance and Tommi baked me a cake while I was on a motorcycle ride with my brother!! Hehh.. They didn' use any recipe, they just made it .. There was meant to be a frosting too, but they were too impatient to wait until it has cooled enough, so the frosting melted ... 

 

 

The cake was delicious (even though it might not look like so), especially with ice cream! My mum is also going to bake me a real birthday/farewell cake on Thurday!

There was some anime convention in Tampere where Tommi went. He played Squalo, and the leather jacket he's wearing - it's made by me! :D Doesn't he look stunning ♥

Yeah, I also had my 19th birthday on Monday. Nothing special happened, I didn't have a party or anything .. Went to a bar with my dad on Sunday though, it was nice! Many free drinks.. And this one also had a sparkler in it! Didn't realise to take a picture of it while it was burning though ..

I also got a new haircut! Now my both sides are short! This is the side that used to be long! Yeah, that happens when I start to think about growing long hair again.. It just gets shorter!

And here's today's outfit. The leather skirt is made by me! Check out my lookbook!

I've also created a lookbook account, check it out! I love that site, so many amazing, inspiring stylish people there!

 If you miss me while I'm in London, you can message me on facebook or email me! ( jjonnah-@hotmail.com ) I might log in occasionally! And if you live in London, we could also meet up!

refashioned

Such a loong time since I've been an active blogger! I thought that when the summer holiday begins and I can't use my very good sewing machine at school anymore, I'd have lots of time for make up experiments and blogging again - just like last summer .. But there's been so much else going on and .. I've decided not to post so much personal stuff here anymore - well, I've never posted anything really personal but I mean I'd rather focus on posting about make up, clothes and inspirations than about friends, events etc.

So. Here's few garments I've sewed lately.

This vest is made of some old huge jacket I got from someone. At first I made also sleeves, but I didn't like them so much and cut them off. I'm wearing an old skirt of mine as a dress.

This dress is made of my grandma's old long black skirt. I turned it upside down (the waist is now the hem), I opened the sides and created the sleeves. I made the neckline out of the skirt's slit and added those purple pieces to bring it some colour. This dress kinf od reminds me of  Donald Duck's shirt, hahah.

This blue dress is also made of my grandma's old skirt. I didn't have anything nice and comfortable to wear at my friend's birthday/housewarming party, so at night before I was going there, I sewed this. The first blue garment I've ever worn! And I really like it. I added the belt to add some shape to it - even though I love oversized, comfortable clothes - I don't want  to look like I'm wearing a sack.
