Estonian Independence Day Best Dressed

A few days have passed since Estonia celebrated Independence Day on the 24th February. It is a big day for Estonians. All day there are different programs on television and people celebrating, while Estonian celebrities attend the Presidential Ball. This last one is very exciting for me of course, because I like to see what they wear.

I am going to start with my favourite, Mai Palling. This is an absolutely beautiful dress by Estonian fashion designer Riina Põldroos from  Embassy of Fashion. Embassy of Fashion Atelier is a brand created by three renowned and award-winning Estonian fashion designers. Aldo Järvsoo, Riina Põldroos and Ketlin Bachmann. This romantic red dress was also presented in Tallinn Fashion Week, Fall 2013.


Another dress by Riina Põldroos that caught my eye was worn by Kairi Sester. This light yellow colour with red flower flame pattern is lovely and it makes her look so youthful.



Another very talented fashion designer from Embassy of Fashion Aldo Järvsoo designed the dress Tiina Tauraite is wearing. I like this red colour, silky top and fluffy bottom. Very feminine.


I also liked Estonian singer Hendrik Sal-Saller and his wife Berit. Her dress is made by Ketlin Bachmann from Embassy of Fashion. I love this blue colur and lace on the arms.



I love Tiina Talumees and all of her collections. This year Maris Jesse was wearing this cute blue flower pattern dress. Simple design, but goes well with Estonian colours.


Sandra Hommuk is also wearing one of Tiina Talumees dresses. I absolutely love it - such a modest look but at the same time, something different to see on the Estonian 'red carpet'

Ülle Lichtfeldt looks stunning in her black long sleeved dress. It is just perfect for this kind of occasion. Elegant, I might even say very royal.

 


This strong pink dress is designed by Ülle Suurhans from Pohjanheimo. Urve Palo wore this dress on the same occasion in 2008.



 

Estonian poet Kristiina Ehin had her dress made of 90 year old fishnet. She said that when saw these old fishnets in Käsmu Meremuuseum (Käsmu Maritime museum), she already had pictured the dress in her mind. This dress was put together from reused materials in Salong Manna Couture by Marika Normet.

The Body Shop Manchester Arndale Bloggers Event

I've been blogging for almost two years now but I'd still consider myself a newbie in the blogging world. On Thursday I had the chance to go to my first bloggers event at The Body Shop in Manchester to celebrate the release of an amazing new range on the 5th of May, including new bronzing items and a couple of vitamin C products! I was wearing my butterfly bow-tie brooch to the event and styled it with a white short sleeved shirt. It was a closed door event, so it was a good opportunity to browse all of the products and explore the new ones thoroughly! The event started at 8pm and I was one of the first ones to arrive. We were welcomed with milkshakes, fruit cocktails and lemonade. I went for water - shy and modest! There was also a white chocolate fountain and strawberries we had the chance to enjoy. The event was carried out by Fiona - she is a skin expert at the Manchester store. Everyone was able to get personal skin consult...

OOTD - The sun has come out!

It has been such a long time since my last fashion post, I've been missing them so much! The second the sun came out, Tristan and I went to the canal and took a few pictures. I think it is still too early for sunglasses but a light jacket is okay when you wear a jumper underneath (Primark) and a cosy leopard print scarf (Linea Cashmink) around your neck.  My black Veromoda jacket and shoes are both from Best Secret. You'll all know by now how much I've been raving about it. I think it is an amazing place for online shopping. I love the copper detailing and the simple look on my jacket, plus it's super lightweight. My trainers are by Puma & Alexander McQueen (click here to read my previous post). I also just noticed that I don't have any good shots of my Michael Kors bag, which I absolutely adore by the way! I'm sure everybody knows how beautiful these bags are so I think this will do for now. The bag and scarf were both Christmas presents fr...

Lilla Rose Flexi Clips

  Today I want to talk a bit about my hair and my recent purchase from a company called Lilla Rose . Lilla Rose is a unique hair and jewellery accessory company from the US. They have many different hair items but I was more interested in their beautiful and well-known Flexi Clip. I got myself two of these - Autumn's Delight in size small and Festive Leaf in extra small. Before ordering I made sure of which size would fit best for my flat and thin hair.       Both of my Flexi Clips look stunning. The beaded wire is quite bendable but strong, the sliding pin is adjustable and they feel high-quality. I chose mine in a copper/rust shade but there are also silver and gold shades and so many different styles and colours available. As I recently cut my long hair short, I don't have many options with styling. I usually just wear my hair in a ponytail or a half ponytail. Autumn's Delight fits all my hair between the clip and Festive Leaf is perfect for a smal...
