Must go and see what is quality of these lovely clothes..

Only thinkg I see little  negative when it comes to my shape is neck line, and collar sits very high, and for chesty girl it can make you look very chunky, and bulky. But,, there where many options, I would love to get in to my hands on..

I love this simple dress, very "me".
I like both of these below.. but on the right is "my" jacket..  Waxed cotton coat. Might need to go and try on them.. since this girl in the pictures looks like she has been eaten last time in last year.. and I need to loose weight.

Swimming suit

I was swimming in Canary Wharf Reebok Health Center (I Love that place) and some fellow swimmer was waiving at me, trying to get my attention and when I stopped, she said: I can see your brest. I was shocked.. I have pretty swimming suit, Fuchsia, with blue flower print.. and it is halterneck. It came down when I was swimming on my back, and I revealed my self un willingly to whole Swimming pool.. What a situation. All I could do was laugh and apologize and try not to do it again.
I had very short session in a pool, I was so afraid that it would happen again.
I need a new swimming suit. Very simple thing.. or is it really.
I hate searching a perfect Swimming suit, the all look nice before I put them on.. and I want to look little Glamorous even when I am just swimming.. and I would like to have swimming suit that compliments my tan in a summer, that is trendy enough to go to beach If I do not feel like bikini time, it has to have tummy control, and good support to my chest. I had black color in my mind, I wanted to have  little like 1950´s pool glamour, but something that will be comfortable when Swimming or doing aqua aerobics etc. Sun bathing and Bikinis are one thing.. but now I am talking about swimming.. ou can not go everywhere with Bikini.
Here is my style inspiration for swimming pool Glam!








I had seen this couiple of times when walking home from my sport club, and decited to stop by to try it on.. it was perfect. Well.. as peerfect as swimming suit can look on me. I love it. It has just enough support to bust, and that old fashioned pin up feeling what I was looking for.



Now I just need other stuff to go with it..

Swimming Goggles to go with the color.. This was my choice! They are comfortable, and width fit my face perfectly. I have always thought swimming goggles are little funny looking.. And not very comfortable.. These where not best looking, but they felt "normal" when on.

Speedo


It bothers me that I did not actually find what I was looking for. There is such a thing on a market than Goggles made for women, and they looked lot like old fashioned sun glasses. What a welcome change for the traditional goggle fashion.. What do you think?  I like them, and I would like to have pair of pure white goggles on my hands..

Swimming cap is must!

 I have one petal cap...
...but it seem to be so over the top in many ways that I can not put it on if going seriously swim.


I hate Swimming Caps anyway, so I need to have something simple.
I like to have sporty but yet Vintage type of a look.
I think this is perfect!

Zoggs


White swimmingsuit or bikini´s  are always on my list if I happen to find perfect one.





Oh So Lovely... Alex and Charlotte swimsuits above are from Zelda Sweetwater

These I really like! I wonder if they are comfy??
I am junkie when it comes to flip flops.. My toes are freedom loving..  and these would be just enough dressy to go along with jeans, and.. that perfect swimming suit.

I have always loved combining Blue, Red and White.. So surely I must add some red to my summer favourites..
These are Classics and easy to step in.

Tory Burch since 1949

Summer please come soon, or someone take me to one of those great Cruisers that sail all seven seas!!
( I have always secretly dreamt dinner in Captains table.. Style like old fashioned love boat)

I want a new hair

I had blond type of a color just last summer but it made me look pink.. so that is no option.. I have had dark brown already years, and it looks fairly natural ( I like it natural and elegant)
But I would like to have little Oomph! to my hair.
I have also had extensions, in the end they where actually just there to thicken my hair, and I am off from that vicious sircle of fake hair and fake nails and fake lashes.. I want to be natural, but what if I am not happy with god has given me..
Lash extensions I loved big time, before I started to have problems with my eyes, and I had to give up. Now I will glue in pair of nice fakes, if I go to performance ( I sing) or out. Nail extensions I gave up last autumn, and realized that my own nails are actually really pretty and great shape. I have been able to keep them long now when I don´t have to do much things that would brake them.
Hair was my last "thing" to hang on. Now when I am back in it´s natural color, I would like to do something for rest of the hair. It took months to let it grow so much that we could identify my true colors to be able to color it natural.
I have lately admired long locks of Kate Middleton, Miss Bride to be, and must say that it is burning me that much that I would like to get my LONG hair back.
I have lately lost 10kg of my weight and hopefully another 10kg is due to go before real summer arrives. I am afraid that I end up looking Essex with my dream Summer look, but what the hick, it only hurts ones.
I have no idea where to find good material enough, since some hair extensions are plain bad and very hard compared to your natural hair. One that I was using years are similar to Great Length. Might need to call my dear dear hair dresser in Helsinki, to ask if she would have time to do my hair on April. If so, I can hold on for while and let my hair grow little more, cut bad ends away, and TADAAAA!!! Have a really long locks for the summer. Long maxi dress, sandals, and long hair. I know my hubby loves me with really long hair. So for he´s sake then..

I am quite sure this will be most popular hair style in near future. Some magazines already noted that The IT color for the season is vibrant deep chocko brown.. I wonder where that came from...


I am big fan of Kate!

Jeiiii!!

I have wanted Swedish Hasbeens shoes for long time.. but they are hideously expensive..
For the summer I found cheap alternative.. take a look!!

These are real thing.. and price hurts my wallet..

Must say I like these kind of findings. Would pair them with white jeans, and sailor shirt!


These are from Next and only 40 GBP

Can not wait summer to arrive.
Pure red toe nails are MUST with these Navy Clogs.


Chanel has a perfect pure red for the sun kissed skin..

What an desappointment

My Jacket from M & S arrived today, and it is hideous.
Color is really Muddy and dull, buttons are plastic ( I wanted to change them anyway)
Sleeves are too short for the size, and lining is way too big and is hanging out from sleeves.. just to mention couple of little things..
I am so going to bring it back there tomorrow.
That is the end of this Taupe Jacket.. Need to find a new one.

Taupe

I have always loved colors, even that I have had my eras, when I wore only black.. I think many creative people has had that.
I was, even by then , using lot´s of colors in else where.
I was painting, I made jewellery, and everything was very colorful.
But.. Now, I have finally found nude colors.
I always loved the look of sleek, and fine cut clothes, in neutral colors, sun kissed skin and shiny hair.. and very natural make up. For some reason it never looked nice on me.
But.. I was always trying to wear Camel color, that makes me look like I´d be half dead, it simply did not come to my mind that I am trying out totally wrong colors, because I have now a days used colors so much. So big revelation for my self was TAUPE. That is my color from nudes.
I can wear cool tones but not warm ones, and there fore I found my self a jacket and placed an order.
I thought I wont buy it because color looked some what too warm, but someone had bought it and was not happy about the color.. it was taupe instead of blush.. Oh I had my Woohuuuuu..... moment, and here it is, hopefully soon deliverd on our doorstep. Only thing I dont like are buttons, but I will change these to something little more classy, simple see through brown plastic buttons. I think these look so.. shiny, or cheap that it kind of destroyes the look. But, we never know, before I have jacket on my hands.

M&S


Need to wait THE jacket to arrive, to be sure about the color, I would like to pair my shoes with jacket and have a black or very light taupe bag.

I think these would be nice with ankle long black straight trousers!
