Wrangler party

Last night I travelled to Helsinki to attend a party for Wrangler jeans. I and some other Finnish bloggers were invited to an evening with American party treats and free pair of jeans. Even though the jeans need some customizing (they were not tapered enough for my taste), it was worth the trip to see all these lovely ladies and talk about blogging and fashion.

My outfit for the evening was inspired by Rick Owens' creations, as I found this very Rick Owens like wool vest by Pour from the Jus store in Stockholm. I've worn it almost every day this week, that's how comfortable and warm it is. I combined it with my new pleather pants, a loose shirt borrowed from my boyfriend, OTK boots (with the fringes tucked in to achieve the RO elephant boot look) and added my mom's old bronze cross to top the look.

Special thanks to Honey Junkie for the last two pics!

Meetings with other bloggers continue as tomorrow I'm meeting this stylish fashionista and music digger over a cup of coffee and perhaps a party later on. I must admit that I'm a bit nervous, what on earth should I wear?

Stockholm calling

This weekend has so far been one of those weekends that has lacked any sort of activity. Nothing is going on, no good clubs to go to, no parties to attend and no spontaneous shopping spasms. I have been lazy with my outfit photos as well, even though I have the Gorillapod to assist me. To be honest, I've only went out once today and that was to get some groceries. The rest of my day has been occupied with lounging and watching movies.

I guess some needed rest is in place considering next week I and seven other Finnish fashion bloggers are conquering Stockholm. The trip is organized by VisitSweden (kind of ironic that Sweden supports us Finnish bloggers this way and not Finland) and Minttu who is a Finnish blogger living in Sweden. I have to say I am really psyched about this trip! My brain is scanning though outfit options and what to wear during the trip and yes, I am a bit nervous too. Most of these gals I already know but there are two who I have not met yet. It shall be very interesting and I will report about it when the time comes. Hopefully, I'll have some time for blogging while in Sweden; however, our schedule is rather busy with designer visits, shopping and fine dining. My boyfriend will also be going to Sweden during the same time due to his jealousy of my gain. Ha!

Since there are no outfit photos from this weekend, I will leave you with this one that was taken last week. Once again I am wearing my trusted colors, black and grey - no surprises there. The days are getting really dark, so more self-taken indoor shots are probably coming up in the next months. Bare with me...
