The concert outfit

top - H&M
blazer - H&M
pants - Seppälä
sandals - Rieker
earrings - Buckley London
ring - Ibero
 
This is the outfit I wore to our concerts in Copenhagen. As I've told before we are allowed to wear only black in our orchestra concerts. Not that inspiring but this outfit I really like. There are enough details yet the outfit is simple and elegant. The top and the blazer from H&M are new and I bought them specifically for the trip. I had to take these pics at home because I didn't have the big camera with me so if you are thinking it doesn't look like Copenhagen at all there is a simple explanation for that.

And don't forget to take part to my upcoming question post by sending your question to me!

Have a lovely Tuesday everyone!:)

In love with Copenhagen!

 
We had such an amazing trip!!! Our orchestra took a concert trip to Copenhagen. We spent four days there and we performed in two concerts on Sunday. I absolutely fell in love with that city. I also got to know the people from my orchestra better and I am really glad about that (before the trip I didn't even know everyone's name)! Everything in Copenhagen was so green and the weather was pretty good all the time. Below are some pictures from the trip (outfit pics will be coming a bit later).
 

 
The boys in the picture are guys from the Tivoli Boys Guards. We performed with them in the concert in Tivoli. They were incredibly good! Too bad we didn't get to know them very well because we only met them twice but they have been planning a trip to Finland so maybe we can spend more time with them then. Their costumes were so cool! They are almost similar to teh Queens Guard's outfits in England. Great looking but probably not so great to wear...:D.
 
This is the main stage of Tivoli. Our first concert on Sunday took place there. Just before the concert it started to rain and the weather became really windy even though the sun had been shining in the morning ... All of our notes were flying around the stage and our music stands fell, too. The concert went well despite the weather and the fact that we were all freezing because we didn't have enough clothes on...:).
 

 
This is our hostel. My room was on 10th floor and we could see the Tivoli's Saturday night firework from our window. The firework was great! I shared the room with seven other people but we got along well and we knew each other already so everything was fine. The hostel was located about five minutes from the Tivoli and the shopping street. Quite good location if you ask me;).
 

If you travel to Copenhagen the Little Mermaid is a must to see. It lies about 15 minutes from the city center. And the statue is smaller than it you'd think.

 
This is the main gate of Tivoli. We never used that gate because we were allowed to walk through staff's entrances. After our rehearsal with the boys on Saturday we spent the rest of the day in Tivoli. I only dared take three rides but we got reduced tickets so at least I didn't lose much money.
 
 
There were beautiful flowers all over Copenhagen, especially in Tivoli so now there are tons of pics of flowers in my camera...But they are nice to shoot and they make me happy since they're so colorful and inspiring!:)

Chilling the 1st of May

 
sweater - Gina Tricot
jeans - JC
quilted vest - Puma
sneakers - Converse
rings - Kalevala
sunnies - retro Rayban
lipstick - Rimmel London 170 Alarm
 
 I had a nice day today! We didn't have school because of the Mayday. The sun was shining but it was really windy. I wore a casual sweater because I didn't feel like dressing up today. Well, the red lips made the outfit a bit edgier.
I was supposed to show you my outfit for Mayday eve but the weather (once again) ruined my plans totally...It was so cold and windy yesterday and there were some showers, too. I absolutely couldn't wear the outfit I had planned because we were outside most of the night. Despite the weather I was having a good time. Me and my friends went downtow to see what was happening there. Okay, there were dozens of drunk people (many of them our friends who are underaged...). Typical Mayday in Finland. I only drank a glass of mead and one third of a glass of sparkling wine.

Don't forget you still have time to SEND A QUESTION to the question post HERE!

I hope you all had an amazing Mayday!:)
