Just shortly..

After commenting Anna I was forced to do something about my blog.. 

I've always been sort of into shirts and sweaters with a print. As a youngster I (obviously) had a bunch of Madonna shirts. I wore them til the bitter end though I still have them all folded neatly. I get sort of irritated seeing Clash t-shirts (par example) at H&M, as well as Che Guevara paraded in front of my eyes on people who don't really strike me as devoted fans or even "with it" when it comes to knowing who Che was (not that I was any wiser in that case, hence not having his face on my chest). 

Now, as I said to Anna I can't really see myself wearing a t-shirt that's promoting a band I don't listen to or even like. Therefore MY t-shirt celebrates Nina Hagen. This shirt was bought on ebay few years back, and though I wasn't at any of the concerts listed on the back of the shirt and got it just to satisfy my thirst for a band t-shirt.

 

Another great thing are the fake designer things. My absolute fave being Chanel, what else. I found this t-shirt at UFF around (gosh..) 1991. It cost 5 marks, less than 1 € and is still with me. Not worn, but sometimes just admired and tried on. The scarf is from some flea market in Helsinki offering cheap thrills and cotton candy. 

My big thing is my linen kaftan. I love it. And have a strange yearning to wear wooden things with it. I'm very big on anything Jesus and sort of do see this rosary as the perfectly fitting, small detail adding to the hippieish feel (so sorry Stella, but trust you me, it's just a little affection, I'm not turning into one, god forbid) but also saw some rather nice wooden necklaces at Indiska today. But is that going too far? What if I try to balance things out with these sunglasses I got from Hilja Maria few years back. I love them, they're fab.

Not really related to anything, but this song has been playing in my head.

Oi miten upeita juttuja! Ensinnäkin: onnittelut kaftaanista! Hippi-virettä in a best possible way. Ja mahtavat nuo lasit! Vaatesuunnittelijana voinet muuten vastata kyssäriin: saisinko mä ikinä mitenkään kaftaania toimimaan - ja jos, niin millainen sen pitäis olla? Siis kun tykkäisin kovasti, mut tuntuu et olen liian pieni ja lyhyt siihen...

Sit toiseksi: vähänkö on täydellinen toi sun Chanel-teeppari! MISTÄ mä löydän tuollaisen?

Ja bändipaita toimii myös - meillähän tuntuu olevan aika sama filosofia näissä bändipaita-asioissa, ja tuo on taatusti ollut nappihankinta sulle.

eiköhän se kaftaani saada toimimaan. täytyy vaan kaiketi miettii sit ne suhteet sillai kivasti, ettei o liian pitkä tai raskas. kattellaa sitä sit ku on tällit. ja vois varmaan olla aika laskeutuvaa ja ohkasta kangasta sun kaftaani.

Kuulostaa loistavalta! Can't wait! :)
