A winter photoshoot
I have done quite a few photo shoots over the years, but no recent ones. So I thought I will show you some old ones. But before I got around to that, I had another one. It was supposed to be an ugly gray forest shoot, but OF COURSE it started to snow for the first time this winter on just that day. So instead we got a pretty snowy photo shoot. Here's a small selection of the outcome - Mormelar in January 2014:
Treating myself with new stuff
Sometime deep in the winter I got a bonus from work. Most of it suddenly disappeared into everyday shoppings and food, but on one afternoon I decided to go shopping! I think it is something I have not done in a while, most of my things are found by accident, except second hand findings.
So, I really really needed a hat. I had looked everywhere for it, but as big, furry and yellow are the key words in hat fashion this year, I had no luck what-so-ever. But, as the weather was really cold and I had ruined my last hat, I had to buy something.
I finally found an okey hat, which I later on transformed into awesome, from Mohito. There was a huge bargain, so I also grabbed a pair of faux leather gloves. I actually can not remember if I have ever had leather gloves before. I don't think so. But they were cute.
The skirt is a plain HM skirt I got while visiting our capital for a work thing. Always time to do a little shopping during the lunch break! Also the Couleur Caramel mascara is from that time. This is my third one, I think, I am in love with it. I have to make a separate post about my make up stuff!
We also went to a getaway-weekend in Riga. It was a really cool and romantic weekend, we walked in the city, took part in some events and also snuggled a lot in the hotel. As my husband dislikes shops and shopping in general, I tried to stay away from them. We only visited a craft shop and a few eco shops, for I needed a new foundation. In the third one I got it. It's Sante and the lightest color as usual.
Back to my shopping day. I got two dresses from Lindex. The fun thing is, that they are from the girls section and only one of them is for my daughter! I really love this dress, the upper part is velvet and skirt part is black tulle, it is really pretty. I bought one for my daughter and tried on the biggest girls size just for fun. It is a little too short, I as am rather tall and the dress does not really take into account boobs and booty (why should it, right), but I just could not leave it in the store. I mean, having the same dress with your daughter? Adorable!

The last item I consider the biggest finding of the day. I have longed for a leather jacket for a few years now. But as I am not a skinny jeans model, I never liked any of them on me. I have ordered a few second hand ones from eBay, but always sold them. And then, just like that, there was a bargain (-70%) black jacket, only one size left, in Seppälä. And it fit me perfectly! I have not had the chance to wear it yet, as it still is winter, altough a warm one. Hopefully it will look as perfect on my dresses as I imagine it to look.
So, an overall nice afternoon, I am really pleased, as I did not spend a lot of money but I think I got some really nice things for myself.
Next week I will be in UK for a work project. And I will have lots of things to show you afterwards. I already ordered some things to a friend's place whom I will meet and hopefully I will have some time to shop also!
