Green spring day and beauty of decay

Woo, the weather is fine and I'm feelin' good. Today we drove to another waterfall - Keila-Joa this time. But since it is Saturday, the place was packed with people, so we didn't stay for long and decided to just drive around and so we came upon an abandoned cemetery at a place called Harju-Madise. It's very old, I checked that the last burials there were in the 1960's, but most graves we saw were from the early 20th century. I find such soothing beauty in abandoned places and the ephemeral. When nature is slowly taking over again. And all the iron crosses, some of them fallen over (see pictures below), forgotten. Even all the relatives of the people buried there are all probably long dead. There were only 2-3 graves that'd been taken care of. I know some people would find this fascination a bit morbid, but I think it was a beautiful place for a quiet walk. Much better than the crowded waterfall area. I didn't even take ant pictures of it, haha.

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.

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.

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.
