A spring day for a Northern girl

Holy moly, it's getting so warm here. We drove to a little waterfall not far from Tallinn for a quick getaway today and sat down on the grass (well, a blanket actually) for the first time this year.

 Yup, these are my warm weather clothes... But I actually took the jacket off eventually, so spring is officially on.

 Some witchcraft is about to go down.

Asos Eco Edit style inspo

I'm still in the refreshing spring fashion mood and this time I'm showing you my little style inspiration clips from Asos Eco Edit. I've been webshopping at Asos for years now and Eco Edit is their collection of eco-friendly sustainable fashion. So cool!

A lot of the clothing items there are vegan, but most of the boots, bags and belts are geniune leather unfortunately. I particularly liked some leather harnesses there, so I hope they'll have vegan leather options available soon.

1. Reclaimed Vintage Pull Over Hooded Festival Jacket

2. Milk It Vintage Long Sleeve Retro Raglan T-Shirt With Cold Shoulder

3. Faithfull Old Town Stripe Midi Dress

4. Black & Brown Wraparound Tie Belt

5. Vivienne Westwood For Melissa Black Orb Jewel Toe Post Sandals

Nasty Gal style board

Hiya, I'm back with a wishlist/style board for this spring. I'm planning to do more of these, but I'll start with Nasty Gal, since I always find cool items on their site. And yes, I am aware of the controversy around the brand and the way they treat their employees - it's very frustrating and I'm not sure I'll buy from them again (plus the shipping to Estonia is so expensive, the last time I ordered from them I actually paid more for shipping + tax than the three products I ordered... madness!), so this is just for inspiration. I also plan to show more ethical/sustainable fashion brands from now own. I've been eating a plant-based diet for half a year now and I'm trying to be more concious in all my choices, including fashion. This board does not feature leather/wool/silk or any other animal products :)

Most of the items are black as usual... I just like it best and after all, this here is just a reflection of my own taste.

1. Coil as Hell 3-pc Ring Set

2. Lavish Alice Swing Queen Tassel Cape Coat

3. Spike You a Lot Fringe Necklace

4. Nasty Gal Love Lockdown Velvet Bodysuit

5. Scratch That Cat-Eye Shades

6. Rule Them All Lariat Choker

7. Priya Crochet Lace Tank

8. Nasty Gal Marisol Bolero Jacket

9. Misha Collection Penelope Bodycon Dress

10. After Party Vintage Hillary Cropped Jacket

11. YRU Laso Vegan Leather Boot

If I had to pick my favorite items from here, they'd be the YRU Laso Vegan Boots, cause they're so sexy and I'm obsessing over the more masculine western style right now. And vegan, yay!

And secondly, the After Party Vintage Hillary Cropped Jacket. This is a surprising choice for me (it's not black omg + I usually don't like denim jackets too much), but I'm so digging the shredded hem, the vintage style and wide fit.

 A simple boring ol' outfit post on a beautiful spring (or according to Estonian standards - more like summer) day.

How light leaks into warm puddles of sun

The cold shoulder

My beautiful sunny Sunday consisted of wandering outside in the woods and reading at home with my cat curled up on my belly... and now I'm going to sew for a while and then take a long bath... pure idyll.

And here is my (unsurprisingly) all black outfit for the day.

Want to know about the bag?

So, here is the very gray early spring, with gray bare trees and I'm wearing gray. And silver. I don't know if the V-shaped necklace was an unconscious Freudian choice, because I just saw both volumes of Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac and I absolutely loved the film. I always enjoy his dark themes and how he integrates music theory, literature, religion and even fishing to his films... I am not utterly fond of all the hints and references he makes, but in general I can say that he is one of those filmmakers whose work talks to me and he definitely is one of the most talented directors of our time, like him or not.

Photography post: pastel & haze

A short retrospect on my photography: here you have the spring moods with floral motifs, pearls, sequins, dust & haze, sand, pastel and muted tones, warmth, light and natural. Isn't nature the greatest source of inspiration?
