Varrasleipää.
I suddenly noticed my day has been blessed with patriotism again, as I also found some salty liquorice from the Turkish Market (?!) from a German stand that said “Traditional salty liquorice from Holland, Denmark and Sweden.” Confusing. The bastard even had actual Finnish candy there, but he’d just failed to write it down, as if it didn’t matter. Well, I gave him a lesson on it, and in the end he was forgiven and I had to buy some. Now, after eating the hard bread, I’m embalming my bleeding mouth with salty candy. Good.
Party in my mouth!Project!!!
I’m going to finally present to you the fruit of our accessory-project with the fashion-handyman Outi that I was talking to you about earlier this summer. (See older posts here and here.) Now I’ve finished making my share of the accessories that we got loads of fabrics for. We can’t take credit for the ideas, we were only clever enough to make them instead of buying them. You’ve seen these kinds of jersey accessories allover the shops this summer, and they actually expect us to pay dozens of euros for the simplest rectangular piece of fabric. We said no, and headed for the fabric market. Here's a little sum-up of the creations:
This scarf is my favorite, as you may have noticed, 'cos I wear it like in all the pics. Laundry of the day: Jacket - Killah, pants - Herrlicher, top - self printed on H&M, shoes - Converse, bag - Adidas.
The basic scarves were really easy to make. Laundry of the day: dress - Creme fraiche, leggins - the market, necklace - Youth vs. Nature.
These required a bit more patience and manual sewing (which I hate). But it was well worth it.
You can wear the jersey brades as suspenders too! Laundry of the day: jeans - Cheap Monday, men's shirt H&M.
The belt goes really well with my trucker-lesbian look. Laundry of the day: Pants - Vero Moda, Top - Ginatricot, shoes - Adidas.RAFFLE - Maiju likey her commenters!
Being on a good mood, I’m gonna throw a little RAFFLE to you sweetie pies. Please comment on your favorites or anything, really, ask a question, tell me your favorite food or call me silly.

Hey, don't know if I understood it somehow wrong, but the book "Finland A-Ö" is made by a design collective named Bulgaria, not a guy called Tom :)
Loving your blog! <3
Rene: very funny. it is actually :)
Herr Komissar: Umm, OK. I just thought Bulgaria would sound too confusing, 'cos everybody would think of the country. So I checked, and the editor has signed the Prelude by the name Tom Bulgaria. 8) hehe, so I believed him.
LittleWittlePrincess: Thank you! I'm loving your name, which sounds like how a German person - or an actual little princess - would pronounce English. :) So, are you both?
Don't wanna spoil the patriotic party in your mouth, but it does really look like Dutch candy to me! Ill bring you some more when in two weeks! yeeey!
Yvet: hahahaha well the looks may deceit you. sure, bring it on! we'll make a tasting competition. yummmmmmy!
