Beware of Crap!
Ladies, I kid you not. This is what you’ll get if you dip your feet into crappy shoes: blisters, bruises, black toe nails and bunions. Been there, done that. Trust me, it’s not worth the trouble.
Back in the days I used to waste my money on cheap junk. It took me almost 30 years to understand that the size of my wardrobe or the number of shoes I own doesn’t necessarily make me look good. On the contrary, can you imagine how I must have looked, limping the streets in my shoes made of man-made materials!?
Please, do yourself – and your feet, for example – a favour. Join the ever so lovely and quick-witted Sugar Kane of (swim)suit issues, me and a great bunch of other style-conscious groovy cats and steer clear of crap. It’s quite simple, really. Instead of buying something small and meaningless every week, why not saving for something you have coveted for ages. My shopping list includes a pair of Minna Parikka shoes.
What’s on your list?
P.S. If you’re a Finn, you can read Sugar Kane’s inspiring post about the subject. Conscious consumerism rulez!

Role Models
The ever so witty and lovely Sugar Kane of (swim)suit issues mentioned the other day that you should pay attention to your own individual features when choosing your style role models. At first I thought I don’t have particular role models at all and I was whining about this at Sugar Kane’s comment box. But on reflection I think my style is highly influenced by a certain style type.
There are a bunch of women I consider extremely interesting style-wise. These intriguing women are all fictional, they’re slightly uncanny characters and they have outstandingly strong features. They all dress in black, they have an attitude to die for and some of them even look magnificent when kicking ass and running on heels.
I might as well call these characters my style role models. May I present: Catwoman, Marla Singer, Renee Madison and Irma Vep.
Before you draw any equals between me and my style role models I must warn you that my personal style is hardly as interesting as the look of these gorgeous characters. There are some similarities, yes, but perhaps I wouldn’t be able to pull off such a full-blown edgy look. Sure it would be fantastic to be an action heroine or femme fatale but as it turns out I have a loads of work ahead of me if I ever want to get my act together.
Do you have any role models?

Sugar Rush
Candy colours, neat bob-cuts, cool goggles. Time to get inspired by sugar-coated Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that is on telly today.

The House of Eliott
Today I was just chilling and indulging myself in quality television. The House of Eliott was indeed the television show that introduced me to the world of style and fashion back in the early 90s.
This BBC’s classic costume drama tells a story of two sisters, Beatrice and Evangeline, whose father dies and they discover that not only has he left them without a penny, he has fathered an illegitimate son! Evie is a talented fashion designer and Bea has an eye for business, and soon the sisters’ home-made outfits are attracting attention.
I was extremely happy to find out that Amazon has a great range of The House of Eliott products. Time to get inspired by those bob cuts, flappers and jazz, my friends!
