Fashion - Vintage Vogue: 1940s-50s


Favorites come in Fives (week 28)

I'm starting my first weekly series, it's called Favorites come in Fives :)

So, every week (perhaps later i pick a specific day of the week) i list some of my favorite things and maybe add some relating pictures too.


the smell of fresh cut grass

an empty basin and clean counters

staying up all night because I can't put my book down

craft stores

gorgeous clouds



P.S. I haven't taken these photos and as i said before, if you recognize your picture here, just let me know and i'll delete it and never use it again. This includes every post i have in this blog and i try to remember to mention every time i post a picture that is it mine or someone elses. I think it's only fair, but i also don't see anything wrong to borrow others pictures, unless they specificly say that they don't want their pictures to be used in anywhere else. What do you think? :)

Decoration inspiration

Me and my boyfriend are planning on moving in together. Of course, first, we have to find out how moving under a same roof affects on our incomes, but right now i'm worrying about how our decorative styles clash and how i can stand that his ugly, soulless stuff is mixed with my lovely things that are not just meant to be used, but they also have sentimental value. I like all pretty stuff, retro style and i have a lot of knick-knacks, candles and i don't want anyone to touch them and especially not to move them! But, well, i care about things looking nice and pretty and he doesn't really care about appearance, therefore; i'm going to take the charge of decoration! (And he kind-of said that i have free-hands [full-power] on that matter.) 

So... here's some ideas, perhaps too many ideas. I like way many different styles, maybe i should concentrate on one or two styles and follow them, so that it wouldn't be so mix-and-match, like my appartment is now.


I love this room. I usually need colors around me, but this room is so fresh and clean, and oh, that big mirror!


Okay, well this is more like me, but more clean-cut and uncluttered. I like this a lot.


I want at least one wall of the appartment to have a beautifull vintage wallpaper like this.


Retro sheets, warm colors...


I'm going to do this! That huge map is just so perfect. And i already have that kind-of low bookshelf :D


Ideas for my own area for my small items, laptop and typewriter.




Note to self: buy pictureframes. I have many posters and they look much much much better in frames + assemble the small pictures to collages.  


Owl and deer figurines, love'em! :)


Summer feelings

Today is probably the hottest day this summer in Finland (about 33C). I like it, even tho i'm all sweaty. Things i love right now: cold showers, liquids, icy berries, being nude, wind and fans.
