Tiki and Tahiti on my mind...

I got the coolest pair of heels from Fast'n'Loud in Hellsinki! Leopard print meets tiki-heels, how can that go wrong? It can´t! I know I should be saving my money for my trip to Florida but this i just could-not-resist... It also made me nostalgic for Tahiti. Me and hubby went there for (a part) of our honeymoon in 2007 and I totally fell head-over-heels (hehe!) in love with the place. How can a place be so beautiful, both nature, music, people and food? I know, of course, that Tahiti, as most places on this planet, has it´s problems for sure and I have that romantic tourist view of the whole place but still...If you ever have the possibility to go and experience the gorgeous light that will make everything seem a more vivid color...go. Run!
I´m still a bit sick and trying to lay low for today so that will be fit to fly on Wednesday (and Monday), which means that I´m missing a lot of fun today but so it has to be :( Oh well. Summer is soon over so try to suck it in babes while it lasts! Have a great weekend peeps!!!

Mamas new babies!

Glitter eyes!

Onni, my kitteh for next week <3 

I went to my faculty party on Friday and wanted to try the glittery eyes that I have seen Turbo Cherry Dee have on a couple of occasions. I asked her how she pulls it off and got some great tips. Usually, colorful glitter is a bad idea on the face unless you go for something wild since it´s really hard to keep in one place and it ends up making your face look dirty. Cherry´s tips: use a eyeshadow of the wanted color (I used a turquoise one with a lot of pigment), then add a glitter-glue and only after that the loose glitter. The glue will make everything stick. It´s really not that hard and didn´t take up a lot of time. I have quite heavy lids so next time I think I´ll put the color a but over the actual moving lid. Add liquid eyeliner and false lashes and your ready to go! Cherry has some great style inspiration and hair tutorials and other good stuff on her The Freelancer´s Fashionblog, you should go check it out! I´m off to pack my bags again, we have a study-meeting with my sex.education group and I´ll be cat-sitting at my mother´s. I´ll get to perform my "Kiss" at a private party next Thursday but remember to get tickets to Boom Boom Burlesque if you want to see it 5th of April ;)

Goodies from Fast´n´Loud: Bettie Page scarves and my new turquoise glitter!

Last thoughts of a first day

Well, the photo shoot was fantastic! Despite a week of way too little sleep the ladies got me feeling - and looking- great even without using oil-based paint. Can´t wait for the final photos (this one is taken with my phone).

I have been trying to learn how to do vintage hair and make-up...sometimes I nail it, a lot of the times I     

don´t... so I take all the help I can get. There´s some great books out there, like this one I got at Fast ´n´Loud last week...wish I had more time in the mornings! It was a real learning experience today to see some true professionals at work. Thanks again Fiona, Saara and Miia!!!!
