VOODO / summer 2011 ♥

Voodo is one of my best friends, but she lives in Ylivieska which is about 400km from where I live, so we can't meet so often.. But, she came here couple weeks ago and we spent a week together and had a great time, as always! ♥

Our week involved

• Going to a bar with my dad
• and being teached about the facts of love by some old drunk men

• swimming in the middle of the night

• biking home wearing only shirts and towels in our heads

• sleeping in the balcony
• and being eaten by mosquitos

•  walking and boiling in the sun
• arguing with my brother

•  laughing
• and entertaining other people who happened to be there and hear us

• taking pictures and videos
• discussing about her mysterious underwear

•  playing with tape and the adjustable wrench that we found from the beach

•  taking more pictures

• admiring finnish men's style

• talking with some random drunk people at night

• having a brunch with one of them next day
• tasting crayfish tails for the first time

• taking more and more pictures..

• having more and more fun taking more pictures

•  went to Linnanmäki (amusement park)
• had fun running with those pink people
• took also couple rides (unfortunately there's no picture or video material of how fun it was, hah)

• watching some old horror movie
• and timon and pumba
• spending a whole day only watching donald duck

• and of course, last but not least, eating lots of junk food ... (hahah I wish we took a picture of all the food we ate...)

Voodo, I love you harikamuru, your :C -smile is the most beautiful ever! Can't wait to see you and eat with you, and maybe go to a plane that goes upside down again! ♥

corset & skirt

I had almost forgotten to post pics of the corset and the skirt I made!

This is the first corset ever that I've made. I'm quite happy how it turned out, I like that silvery/grey fabric, and the fact that I can get about 10cm smaller waist!

Actually I dont like that skirt anymore though, hahah and I'm thinking about turning it into just a simple black tulle skirt. We'll see.

Sorry for the lack of posting & commenting on your blogs lately, I've been having great, fun time with my friend Voodo who came to Helsinki from Ylivieska! Going to catch up as soon as I go back home again! :)

blue, pink & purple make up

I haven't worn any make up for almost two weeks! I haven't gone anywhere and haven't done anything special, and haven't felt like playing with make up just for fun either. I guess my skin has been happy that I've given it a chance to rest and be fresh for a while, but..

Now it's time to say goodbye to natural beauty again!

inspiration: Ian Somerhalder

Ian Somerhalder - my favourite actor ever. He's sooo handsome.
 
(Don't expect to see more posts like this, he's one of very rare men I like, and by men I mean a bit more masculine men, not pretty or beautiful androgynous boys ;D)

♥

I just cheated on my online life with Vampire Diaries books! Spent 4 days reading them all. I've read them previously once, but it was different as I always had to wait till I get the next book.. Now I wanted to just 'drown into' the story and read them all without any breaks! Such great books! If you like vampires, I recommend you to read them. Or, watch the tv-show! I began watching it when I heard this gorgeous guy called Ian Somerhalder is playing one of those vampires! ♥

pink bolero

Yay, for once I have also the before picture of my little refashion project! I always forget to take the before picture, I'm too excited to start cutting, hah.. But I had this already taken for my blog last year. I got this pink shirt from my grandma's sister or someone ..

And as I've recently been trying not to wear such sacks anymore, and I got bored of tightening shirts as I had already tightened so many, I wanted to make something a bit different out of this one.

Pink bolero with 3/4 sleeves. It's made in rush and there's things I'm not completely happy with but whatever, I guess it's wearable anyway. I'm not so comfortable with showing my arms so I think this is quite nice.

refashion skirts

After finishing my school work (corset + skirt .. which I also should post pics of) I had some time to do anything, among other things I refashioned some old clothes into skirts.

This skirt is made of the other leg of the leopard jeans (the other leg I used for the top of this dress).
Actually those size 46 trousers were much better present than they would have been if they were actually my size.. I got a skirt, a dress and a pencil case out of them instead of just jeans! :D

 This skirt is made of some small child's trousers. Never should throw any clothes away, if the fabric is nice, you can make something new out of it!

 And this is made of the bottom of a huge jacket. This skirt is now one of my very rare clothes which also has pockets! :D (hmmh it looks quite awful as I hadn't ironed it yet...) 
I started making a bolero jacket of the top of this jacket, but haven't finished it yet as I wasn't sure yet what kind of sleeves I want.. 
 

And YAAY, it's my summer holiday now! 2½ months of warmth and freedom. ♥
