Q & A x 11

Lately I haven't had time, energy or as a matter of fact any creativity / brains 

to do some awards or tagged posts from you recently. But I've decided to step
it up and starting with one, 11 Questions. I was tagged by lovely blogger girl named
 Daniela Schwanke. And for a really long time this is something I haven't done before,
not like all those "Tell random 7 / 15 things and tag same amount of bloggers " - which
I've done or tried to do every time someone tags / awards me. But those get really
hard after couple times, haha. I'm not very extraordinary. So, now to the questions.
And for the first time ever I tag those 11 people too.. :D

1. Why did you start blogging and what was your biggest motivation?

I started writing this blog because I realized that I'm a ...

serious shopper. There's no humble excuse for this, haha.

And I wanted to create a place to show my finds to others.

 I also wanted to write down and photograph some events 

of my life (like a journal) and share my random DIY-ideas, 

and occasionally outfits. I've also started to love the idea of 

blogging because I've got to know so many wonderful people 

and some from really far away places. And I've got so much 

information + inspiration that I otherwise wouldn't have know
anything about. Plus I've got so much positive feedback and 

encouragement to continue this creative hobby.

This is my little social & fashionable playground, kind of.

2. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

 

When I've gone to work/school it usually has taken me 15 -20 minutes.

That consists of deciding the outfit (if I haven't chosen it the night before)

 and putting on some quite light makeup. When I have to go somewhere early 

in the morning I like to shower the evening before. If I have later plans,

or shopping / coffee date with friend, 'putting the face on' 

may take little more time. And if there's a party, maybe up to 1 hour.

Depends on how well I've prepared for the event beforehand.

If there's a surprise flee, then I'm ready in no time. 

[ I can hear my bf laughing right now. 

Last time we had to be quick it took me almost 

15 min to find the right bra ! {Hey my top was a tricky one.} ]

3. Do you have any place you love to shop?

I love finding vintage and other second hand items 

that are currently in fashion - or I just happen to fell
in love with. Style is more important to me than any
current fashion. I love thrifting, both for my wardrobe
and home. But I do buy new stuff too. Gina Tricot
and H&M and online Asos, Rare Fashion, Nelly,
Romwe.. When I go to Helsinki I love going to Zara,
JC and Mango + Indiska home items. In Tallinn my
favourites are Bershka and Stradivarius.

I don't shop any luxury brands. I'm poor :D

4. Which clothing item is your favourite?

I love to wear maxi skirts, shorts with loose tops.. And really think

I should wear dresses more often, but just tend to stick with 

leggings with tunics or my super high waisted jeans with blouse.

Rompers are my new favourites, definitely. They can kind of look
 like dresses but there's legs. More ..safe. I wear almost anything
as long as it's comfy & goodlooking and not too revealing.

5. Neon or Pastel?

Pastels.
If I use colour there's very rarely any bright
ones on me these days. I used to wear a lot of fuchsia few years ago.

6. What is your favourite movie and series?

Still haven't found any better than Amélie.

Maybe close nr 2 is Edward Scissorhands.
Or Pan's Labyrinth. (500) Days of Summer?

Tomorrow I might say that I love Lord of the
Rings or Howls Moving Castle.. I have a wide
taste in all kind of movies / series / and music.

From TV series I love Skins seasons 1-4.

After that I really haven't connected with the 

characters or something. Or maybe I was so

devastated after season 4 final episode ..

7. Do you have an addiction?

 
= obsessive need to get / do something.
No. * grin *

Hmm maybe sweets and savoyry treats ?

Or my constant desire to make my wardrobe

& home better - bit by bit - and therefore there's too 

much stuff at the moment. Constant process you know.

So I might seem like a hoarder right now, addicted to stuff.

[ But I'm not, I love when things are organized and in their

right places, in boxes or baskets and such! Maybe there's
a tidy control freak hiding inside me, hah ;) I'd love to
organize my wardrobe according to colour - might aswell. ]

8. What’s number one thing on your wishlist?

 maybe a bath tub. And much nicer bathroom. Ours is very .. unique :D

I would actually love to go for a holiday with my boyfriend,
somewhere sunny and not too crowded with tourists.
No specific places in our minds just yet..

9. What do you do for a living?

 

I study cultural management, have worked for local 

fashion store since -09 and also at small women's fashion & 

vintage boutique, but that ended two months ago.
Currently looking for a job for summer. Or I also

could do internship at some summer event.. Any ideas.?

Well quite big part of my "working / active / not free time" consists of blogging;
taking photos, answering to comments.. So maybe that's one job too. ^^

10. How would you describe your style in 3 words?

casual, girly, edgy.

because whenever I wear something glamorous I want
to add a touch of rock / boheme vibe, and the other way
around. Mixing styles, accessorising.

11. What are your favorite trends and colors upcoming season?

 .
White, lace. Boheme / Boho chic. Pastels. High-low / tail skirts and dresses.
Maxi length. Mint & peach. Rompers. I need (comfortable) heels too since I'm tiny. :>
