New hair!

Hello my lovelies, a few days ago I had my hair cut. I've been psyching myself up for it for a while now. I normally have a big hair change every couple of months and this cut was a little overdue. As always, I spent a couple of weeks collecting inspiration pictures. I wasn't too sure what I wanted to do with my hair but I was excited about exploring shorter hair styles now as I haven't really had "short" hair since I was about 14. Here is my mood board that I presented to my hair dresser.

The two images we decided on in the end were...

So here we go!

Tah dah!

After having my hair cut I met with my lovely friend Charly for a Coffee and a chat, hopefully next week when I am in London we are going to go see The Lion King together.

I had a Praline Mocha from Starbucks ... it was disgusting!

Please excuse this derpy picture of me. It was the only non blurry outfit pic we took. On Monday I go back to London for the week to party with Jami and Emilia so expect lots of fun fabulous, party, fashion and touristy posts. Tobi x

Fashion and Makeup

About two weeks ago I did some "modelling" for my friend Heikki who needed to test out a new lens. Unfortunately I had the flu really badly so I looked dead in all the photos. I took my own outfit and also bought some of Heikkis clothes from him which I wore as a second outfit. Here are the best photos.

Shirt: All Saints
Jeans: Topman
The Rest: Oona of course

Tracksuit: Jeremy Scott
Fur gloves: Fur stall in Paris
The rest: No idea!

I have also been trying out the kpop inspired eye makeup and a website that makes gifs. The first look was from last week, I got incredibly drunk and threw up on a bus after being kicked out of DTM. Embarrassing for me but a proud moment for my friends as it is part of the "becoming Finnish"  initiation. 

That is a killer eye spasm I have going on! <3

The second look is for tonight's party celebrating Davy and Ralf's birthdays. I was inspired by Nu-Goth fashion, Key from shinee and TOP from Bigbang. We will probably all have blog posts about tonight's party so stay tuned.

Awkward posing.

I hope you are all having a nice autumn, it's bloody freezing in this country already! I never thought I would consider England warm but the world (particularly Finland) is full of surprises. Tobi x

(p.s. to my family and friends who read this, I promise I will start blogging more about my life here and not just fashiony stuff, as my mum has already told me off for being boring!)

Fabulous day with Sini

Sorry for not updating earlier but I don't own a camera and not much has been going on. Today I spent the day with my hilarious and very fabulous partner in public singing crime Sini. (her blog is in Finnish but totally worth checking out) We went window shopping, trying to find things for her autumn/winter wardrobe and then we had lunch together.

Jumper: Gina Tricot
Jeans: H&M womens
Shoes: They belong to Oona, I stole them.
Accessories: H&M

I know it seems silly, but I wasn't too sure about my first outfit so I bought another top to change into which I did halfway during the day as I felt uncomfortable. Here is the second look.

 While we were walking back towards the city centre some crazy man handed us both a bible each. Here was my reaction. Sini's was just as severe.

 After the religious onslaught some nice but probably drunk old man asked us if we wanted our photo taken together. Not the best photographer but he gave it a good go :)

 After the obligatory blogging we went for lunch to the best salad place in Helsinki. I had tuna and artichokes with a lemon dressing. Sini had chicken and parmesan with a vinegar dressing.

I also bought some cute kpop socks before I came to Finland. Here are my TOP ones I wore today :) 

Oh just in case anyone was wondering what I have been doing with my free time, here is a picture. Lets just say there was a lot of vomit to be cleaned up that night, in true suomi style!

I hope you are all enjoying autumn and not feeling too depressed about the oncoming winter. Just think of all the hot chocolate you will have!

See you soon, Tobi x

FINISHED MY EXAMS, GETS, MUSIC AND OUTFIT POST!

As of this lunch time I have officially finished school!!!! My exam yesterday went horrendously but today's was okay! I just have to hope for a miracle so I can get into uni. This officially means my summer has started and a week today I go to Finland, AGE!! I have so much I need to do before I'm ready, I have another few pounds to lose and I need to pack and do my last minute shopping.

I can't wait for Finland, got so many exciting things planned like some fancy dress parties, beach parties and I'm going to Helsinki Pride with the amazing Project Q! If anyone is reading this who is going to be in Helsinki at some point during July and would like to meet up please send me a message or comment ^_^

 In other news my Set from Kumimakiko.com arrived today. I did check the measurements for the shorts so I knew how short they were going to be ... but I think I will buy some leggings tomorrow to wear underwear to make me look less like a transvestite.

 Shorts and hoody

Here is the set on, I like it, but I might find some different leopard print shorts to go with it, something a little bit more manly. (they look like a skirt)

I look scarily like a not hot Chris Koo here!!! 

Recently I bought 4minutes new album (they are performing in London on saturday and I am missing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'( so upset) It is amazing!!!! I've always been a big fan of 4minute and I think they deserve to be bigger than they are. 

Here is my favourite song from the album: 

Anyway I will probably update this weekend as I am going to London to buy gyaru magazines, take purikura and have fun before Finland! x

Thank you to all my new followers as well <3 x Tobi x

Vivienne Westwood, Gyaruo and KPOP

Hello everyone! I haven't updated this blog in a while because I have been super busy with my exams. In fact I shouldn't be writing this now, I should be working on my exam prep for tomorrows exam but oh well ... I'll do that later I promise YOLO. 

Yesterday my best friend Lorraine came up to my house from London for the first time. Normally I go see her in London and we have fun kawaii weabo times in Chinatown and whatnot but we have been talking about her coming up for a while and I needed some help with my artwork so she came for moral support to get me through it. Unfortunately we didn't have that long because she needed to get back early so we didn't have any time for fun gyaru shit or to style her wig. 

I woke up super bloody early so I could get ready and dress in gyaruo for her which took way longer than it used to (I blame the hair). I haven't dressed in gyaruo for about 4/5 months! So it was nice to try it out again. As you can see I have quite a few men's egg magazines and I tried out one of the hair tutorials for the first time! I missed the smell of Gatsby. The feeling on my fingers not so much.

All of my men's eggs.

Airport Style

Considering I had lived in two continents, three different countries and spoke two languages by the time I was four I feel very at home in an airport. When I was about 9 I had memorised the entire flight safety routine that the cabin crew performed at the start of every flight ... needless to say I was in fact a very camp child and was certainly on track to be a fabulous flight attendant.

Travelling and flying has always been a big part of my life, I normally visit France and Ireland at least once a year as well as having been lucky enough to go to countries like China, Bali and hopefully this Christmas, Kenya.
When I'm flying though there is always one problem ... what do I wear to the airport? ... Due to my families tradition of flying at night to make it more exciting (the real reason being it's cheaper) I have been able to get away with oversized hoodies and jogging bottoms (thank god there are no photos!!!!!) but I'm afraid I just can't do it any more! I want to look my best at all times, and with a love for Dita Von Teese, TOP, GD and Shinee who are some of the most fabulous examples of "Airport style" there is ... I'd better start paying attention!

Airport fashion is the result of celebrities trying to be comfortable enough to travel, whilst still being stylish enough that when they get snapped by the paparazzi they still look good. For me Airport style represents the ultimate glamorous jet setter style icon type lifestyle that I have always dreamt of having ever since I was a little girl boy.

So onto the photos!!!!!
