Dreams are made to be broken

I just realized I missed the UFF organisation's 1 euro sale day. UFF (U-landshjälp från Folk till Folk i Finland rf) is a private, Finnish association which helps to develop the development co-operation in developing countries. UFF recycles clothes and by selling them the organisation gets its money. Because off the recycling of clothes UFF is also an environment friendly association. 
  
I looked through some of the UFF's web store's supply and found a couple of cool items. Again, if I had money I might consider buying these. Oh and btw, UFF is a great store also because it keeps weeks when they sell their clothes from maximum 7e to maximum 1e. The first day Monday everything cost max 7e, then on Tuesday max 6e and so on and so on (that is what I was cursing in the first sentence, I missed the last 1e day! Then everything costs only 1e!).
  
My mind isn't working now, you might have noticed it from my unbalanced text! So here are the items I found!
  
  
Jeans 1e! I know the color is pretty shocking but it can be worn with some neutral items.

Skirt 19e. It is pretty expensive for a UFF item but it is so p-r-e-t-t-y!

Questo è meglio per voi

Ispirazione tavolo - quello che mi ispira per perdere peso

As you may have guessed already ispirazione tavolo means inspiration board. Because of many different reasons I've decided to improve my looks: both by loosing weight and learning how to use clothing, accessories and make up for my benefit. To help me stick with my plan I did this inspiration board. It shows me where I want to be, where I am aiming at. When I am thinking about quitting I search this post from my files and prove myself that this is what is good for me - both in a psychological way and in a physical way.

No words can describe this grief

You are in our thoughts Norway  
  
These incidents have affected us a lot and we are all ready to give you our support. This has been very stressing for me too because of many reasons. First of all because both my father and my other sister are in Norway at the moment, second because I have many good friends in Norway, and third because my other sister, who is not in Norway at the moment, worked just a few months ago in the area where the bomb exploded. This is all just so very awful. Both me and my sister have been going through our Norwegian friends to see if they're alright. Luckily they're all okay but some of eg. my friends are down with grief because their friends had been killed in the shooting. This is just so unbelievable to think that this can happen in our safe Nordic countries. I don't know what to think anymore.

Cats are close to my heart

Cats say Miu Miu in Finland. I also often say Miu Miu but in a completely different meaning. Miu Miu was the first fashion brand I got to know via the World Wide Web (I'm so uncool now right?). I got interested in it because of the clothes were so different what I was used to see. The real thing that got my full attention was not the clothes but the shoes. Miu Miu makes stunning and unique shoes that are very youngish. For a long time I've wanted to have Miu Miu shoes but never have had the money, clearly. When I've married a millionaire (my goal in life naturally haha) the first thing I will do is to go to a Miu Miu store and buy Miu Miu shoes and clothes. Definitely.
  
I just searched some info about Miu Miu and found out that it was established in 1993, a year after I was born. I also searched some photos of the old collections - I've loved the ones in the past few years so I became curious how did the earlier collections look like. I found some nice photos that I want to share with you. You could find them all from the net yourself if you wanted to but I am going to save you the trouble. Here are some photos from collections between 1996-2011 (couldn't find good photos from years 1993-1995). 
  
And just so you know, my favorite one is the S/S 2010. I simply love it! It stands out from the other collections right away and you can't get you eyes off it! I have one of the photos as my wallpaper haha.

Protect yourself everywhere - especially in stairs

Finally I was able to take photos from my new pants and skirt. So yes, I did buy the skirt but I didn't buy it with my mom's money, my conscience didn't let me, I paid it myself. Better to be a good skirt because now I can't eat anything else than pasta for the next couple of months!
  
  
These are the pants I bought from Zara. Pretty basic trousers that I really need!

This is my "school look" (if I was in school..). I also like the pockets in the front. 
And this is my "office look" (if I had a job.. I'm getting depressed haha)
 
This is THE skirt: I adore it! Don't you?

Simple is good. But let me give you a hint: when you're wearing a short skirt like this..

..remember to secure yourself everywhere. A long shirt or microshorts under your skirt can save you from an embarrassing blow of wind. Remember this always.

I am not a playboy bunny thank you very much

..but I do like using different kind of lingerie in my clothing. Bras are good at summer when you have loose fitting shirts or tops or maybe something that you can see through. If that is the case, you can't have those comfy, old granma bras but something that is hot but at the same time tells that "this is me". You can't avoid someone seeing your bras so deal with it and use the fact for your benefit! I want to introduce you to a nice website that I discovered - from Trashy you can find any kind of lingerie you want to represent your style. Check them out (if you're not too shy - just remember, you can always erase your web page history!). I'll show you an example photo of how to use your bras right later on but now here are my favorites from Trashy that I would wear in summer without a hesitation.
  
  
These bras are super seducing and fit well to be flashed from under a loose shirt.

These are perfect for putting under a shirt you can see through.

These cuties would go well with a nice dress.

Same goes here! Loving these!

Penny from your thoughts - would make me rich

My sister took me to Zara today - it was depressing. I didn't have money to buy anything but I still found so many nice things that I wanted that it drove me crazy! I even called my mom that maybe I could buy a pair of trousers with her credit card. She said "Of course, if you need something then you can always use my credit card". But the thing is, I don't want to use my mom's card because she is so poor already without me spending all of her spare money. And I don't take money from my dad because we had a fight so.. no more from that subject, I would just drag everybody down. But I think I will go to Zara tomorrow and be so, so, so very mean and buy this one skirt that I really wanted and tell mom I needed it. I know, I'm a horrible daughter! Or I might not do it. We will see it tomorrow. I tried to find a photo of the trousers I bought from Zara's Finland pages but couldn't. Though I did find other items too that I want, I really just need to choose one.. help me!
  
  
This is the skirt I wanted to buy so bad! At the same time it's unique all alone but also goes well as the "background" clothing. It also matches with almost any clothes!

I liked this because these look like a skirt but it's actually trousers. But this is the only color and I don't really like it with this item so I think I won't buy it.

This is the other one that I really like. The same idea with the one above but the color is so much better! And you can also see that it is a trouser so it wouldn't be completely a mystery which one it is: a skirt or a trousers.
