MEET THE GIRLS FROM 'NEAT'



I’ve heard that the best things in life come unexpectedly. And I guess that’s true indeed. Not even 7410 kilometers or 9 time zones could keep us from finding each other. I’m talking about Kayla Browne & Suzanne Stewart from The Neat Blog and this little collab that came to me by surprise. After a small chat on twitter, we all realised that we should do something great together and so we did. But we’ll get to that a bit later, first I’ll introduce you to them.

THE NEW FASHION CAPITALS: PART 2 - JOHANNESBURG



A while ago I promised to take you on a journey and after a rather long layover in Helsinki, we’re finally going to our next whimsical destination, the next underrated fashion hub that you need to know about. Let me take you to Johannesburg or to be more accurate, let Thithi take us there. She’s the stylish girl behind the amazing blog teeteeiswithme.com and she’s gonna be our guide.

The art of blending in?



I’m so tired of hearing people say things like ‘there should be more people who stand out' or 'the majority just blend in with the gray crowd’. Whenever someone’s asked about the street fashion scene, they usually complain about the lack of creative/crazy/artistic/trendy people on the streets. But when you actually go against the stream and look different, wear what you want and just be yourself, you’re labeled as ‘weird’. And I am at the point in my life where I’m finally okay with being labeled as a weirdo. But it doesn’t mean it’s right.

I'm only happy when it rains



I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn’t accidentally tell you that
I’m only happy when it rains

The Last Resort




I’ll admit it, I lack motivation and I lack concentration, but I’ve finally gotten myself together to finish my latest sewing project and to put together this post. I made this long black tee with a 3/4 sleeve and a cowl neck, it’s something I’ve tried for the first time and I’m quite satisfied with how it turned out. Check it out and I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Wicked Son



I guess you’ve noticed the headline - ‘A blog for the anti-social fashion lover’. Because that’s who I am, and I’m proud to be the black sheep, the weirdo. I hate fashion weeks and pointless events and I loathe the word fashionista. But I’m still a fashion lover and I still love to blog. Embrace the wickedness, the weirdness, argue if you have to, scream if it helps - dare to be the wicked son!

The September Issue


So Autumn’s here and September’s almost passed. I’m sure we’ve all read one or more September Issues of our favorite magazines. Since my heart belongs to the north, this is the most exciting and the most beautiful time of the year. I get to do layering, wear outerwear and the weather is chilly, what more can you possibly wish for?
