Syster Retro

How have I not heard anything about this genius site before now? Praise the lord Facebook, and it's news feed, because this was were I struck gold!
Syster Retro, Sister Retro to you non swedish talking people, is a web shop created by Johanna, whom I went to school with back in the days, and her sister Catti. The concept is that they do all the work by going to all the flea-markets, secondhand shops, vintage stores... whatever treasure chests there may be, and dig out all the goods. They then mesure them, style them, take pictures of them, and sell them online! How brilliant is that? Now I don't have to go to all the smelly secondhand stores and waste my time not finding anything. I will simply click on the website and see what's new in Secondhand fashion. And they also show you how you can style it, so you can save your precious braincells for something more useful (like what to wear tomorrow..?).

Seems kinda pro..:)
Check it out, if not for buying, then for pure inspiration. Follow their blog on Systerretro.blogspot.com or buy online on systerretro.com.

GOSSIP GIRL! 

Why is it over already?!

I just finished watching the newest episode of GP, which came out today by the way. It's going to be a rough week, waiting for the next episode! Already in this one we got introduced to 3 new characters, and it seems like one of them is as psycho as Georgina Sparks. I think this season is going to be as fab as the rest of them! Thank god GP is back!

Bisou Bisou,

Gossip Girl.

Russian fur-hat

Yes Giselle, you copy cat, you work that hat pretty well! But I have been looking for the perfect fur hat ever since I two years ago decided NOT to buy one for 5€ (?!?!), so I guess you will see mee with one soon. I hope... but I think it's going to be pretty hard since I hear fur is the shit this season. Julie, always listen to your gut, and not to some random person clearly uninterested in fashion... Damnit.

Gina bling.

Uhlala Gina Tricot left me drooling for some more of their bling! But I did buy a new ring though...;) As some of you may know, I do love bows!

Malin and I are now ring-buddies...thihii

Bleached vintage denim shirt,H&M scarf, San Antonio sleeveless knit, DIY shorts, my new belt(WAS my moms), Converse shoes and Guess watch.   

ANTM Whoop!

Hey hey hey, did anyone of you see the first episode of the new season of Americas Next Top Model? I did! And uhlalaaa it was good! When Tyra sais that they have raised the bar, it seems like they definately have! ITALAN VOGUE?!? Zac posen?!?!? Diane Von Furstenberg shows?!?! I am like a happy kid at christmas eve clapping my fat little fingers when I see this. This is great! 

I hope it won't dissapoint me now, since Miss Tyra promised HIGH fashion, and I demand high fashion... and an awesome TV-show.

I heart ANTM fo shizzle!

Åbo strikes again!

I love my friend Malins outfit! She works that maxi effortless, and it makes me rethink the whole maxi thing. I firmly believed that a maxi wasn't for me, but it looked o damn comfy..?!?! Should I give it a go? We'll se :)

White tee, black maxi-dress, converse and jewelry. Keeping it simple, but not playing it safe.

ANTM

Luckily for me, the show must go on:) And the new season airs today! Wuhuu! 
Aaaah the small joys of life...!!

H&M wants

I stopped by the local H&M for a few minutes before work the other day, and these were the things that caught my eye. I didn't have time to work trough the entire H&M, but I just guess it was for the best. Money well saved...?

But, I hear something about these amazing blue pumps appearing around week 45? How awesome is that! Yup, gotta have them.

Meanwhile my dream jacket has bee sold out (the leather aviator jacket from the cover of H&M Magazine you know). Surprise! But it's too expensive anyway;) So I'll just keep dreaming on. Nighty Night! 

(My pump, my pumps my pumps my pumps, my lovely suede pumps...zzzz...)

Asos dreams..expencive dreams...

These are some things I wouldn't mind... Maybe I'll find some buget lookalikes on flea-markets and in second hand shops...? The capes are SO tempting! Julie be strong...

Aren't they yummy?

And the shoe, not so asos like, and I like!

But I wont do it! My money goes only to one purpose. A camera. I have (almost) come to the conclusion that it's either going to be an Canon Eos 550 or a Nikon 9D. Anyone have any tips on what to choose and why:)?

All tips are welcome.

Spankyou.

True of false?

I dont believe it! If it's true I'll die abd go to heaven, but if it's not, it was only a dream...

PLEASE let it be true!!

Beauty

I am in love with the styling on Ida Sjöstedt's show! That orange lipstick color is just what I have been looking for! And I haven't succeeded I see now, because comparing my "orange" lipsticks to this color, I see all mine are like coral/raspberry/pink with a touch. So the quest for the perfect color continues... 

Do it Åbo style

I met up with a friend on Monday for a delicious meal in the hippest restaurant in town, Blanko (yup, and I work there... sometimes ;) The point here was that my friend Malin was fab as always, and I just wanted to share that:) take a look!

Malin had the perfect shade of orange nailpolish. She made me jelous! Plus she also rocked one of the most awesome granny dresses I've ever seen! It slipped it was from Monki, so I guess I have to be lucky if I want anything like it...:/

M

Later we met up with Malins friend Frida.. Coolness in a small package! Have a look at her under-cut. That's the way it's supposed to be done!

Watch and learn.

The dream jacket

I have never been so sure of what kind of winter jacket I want, this early on in a season, as I am now. A leather jacket a la Burberry Prorsum is a must in my wardrobe this winter, but now the task is to find something that is both tasteful and cheap.

Lindex has the answer, or something pretty close to it. I also hear rumors about a sweet real leather jacket arriving in ONLY...? (I know...ONLY, but it is said to be pretty sweet!). Anyone seen it there yet? Coz I think I need to try that one on as well before I buy anything.

Am I a sneaks girl..?

I have been on the lookout for some cool sneaks for a while, but they are so damn expensive! But now I found these ones on sale and in my size. Gosh, could I would I, SHOULD I? The price is like 69€ and still expensive, but the original price is like 120-130€... What to do?

New hair, new me

Or not:) I just cut it... And now I'm wondering if I should color it too...

Brown? Or honey blond?

Wearing H&M leopard jumpsuit and Gina Tricot denim shirt.

I am going away to the archipelago this weekend, so you know to expect silence here on the blog again...

If the weather is good I might be able to snap some pics, to show you what an amazing place it is;)

Later! 

Finally

 These are my first major (clothing) purchases here, or the only ones actually. I have been drooling after them forever now, and now they are mine. Score!

New in

My new lover arrived, and I just wanted to say hi from it. My Mac is up and running and so far so good. Now I just have to get to know it better and learn how to upload pics and stuff. I also need to transfer all my crap from the other computer to this one. So see you soon on the other side:) Have a fab sunday;) 

Copy Cat

My belief that I really do need a leopard coat has just been confirmed. All secondhand stores are going to be raided... All things fury and leopardy will be mine!

Damn them glamorous swedish girls! Picture taken from Emma.

Hi ya'll!

I have not neglected you! I promise! Just bear with me for a while, and I will be up and running in no time!

Quick update. Internship in Finland, takes up most of my time. This is the first time since I came a week ago, that I have had the time to even check my mail. I live with my parents, what a victory huh? But I'm saving up for a new computer...hmmm... I will start updating, just wait and see:) Now good night! Waking up at 7AM everyday just killes me! Yup not a morning person!

Nightynight!<3

Sweet dreams Julie!
