Waiting For The Roads To Dry
For the roads to be clean of snow and such, eh. Why? My B's got quite a badass 1200cc Italian ride waiting to get on the streets. As are we. Summer is the much-awaited bike season for us!
My baby's babies last summer, wearing my Diesel overalls. The bike is a Benelli TNT Cafe Racer.
It must've been last week when I left school on a sunny spring afternoon like this one and heard that 100% sure proof of spring for the first time this year - the sound of a motor bike. A real bike. Ah, that feeling! When I'd just stepped out of the front doors of my school into the sun and onto a street lined with tall office houses, and then I heard that WRRRRAHH of a bike blast through the tunnel-like street. When I turned my head to see the first Suzuki of the season wooshh by.
Photos from last summer. Buying my helmet, with my B in his biker jacket,
with the bike, and on a hot day in a not so safe for bikes shorts outfit.
If my explanation on the kicks I got when I heard a bike roar for the first time this spring failed to get my message across, I just can, not, wait! For bike season. The sound of the engine like on B's bike brings back all those great moments from last summer. Can't wait. And I'm not even the one to drive the bike, I'll just be sitting on the tiny back saddle enjoying the ride behind my baby's back.
I'm not yet good enough with bike stats and all that stuff to really go all "biker heart and soul" for now but I have to say, it's one catchy hobby. You'll never get me to admit I'm dreaming of my own pink Ninja or some nifty Ducati. Mmhm ♥
It's not very likely I'll be getting my own anytime soon tho, so for now, I plan clothes.
Just a few little themed things - a proper safe biker jacket is actually something I'll need just to be safe when riding the bike. But those things can get expensive so we'll see. But I better calm down now hmm? Off to bed!
What are you looking forwards to in this upcoming summer?

Ok, enough about blog plans for one post!
I would've wanted to carry out my "more style & outfit photos" plan with this post too, but I've a total pyjama banana since Christmas! So no nice new outfit photos to show now. But I was just going through the picture files on my phone and noticed there were loads of (more of less random and irrelevant) cell phone photos I never shared here on the blog yet -
So since I've got no new photos of me self, here's a little phone photo feed!
 Coolest hair-do try from past weeks - Minnie Mouse do! |
  Some holiday/birthday bakings, oreo truffles I just attempted to make the other day. And then my favorite sight; B sleeping. Here with Ginah at his feet. (Don't tell him I posted this) |
  The "nice surprise" when waking up - Ginah, our pitbull has come take a nap at the end of the bed. At B's. |
 From those at-home, pre-holidays days. In my room. |
  Christmas lights I put up in B's room. / Have I ever told you guys I like my orchids? Ooopsee |
  First one makes me lol because I think my face is just so *bitch please!!* on here! :D Second one is a pre-holidays outfit, wearing my favorite pleather shorts and boots. |
 This is from the summer, a view from me & B's then apartment, taken by by with his iPhone. I've been missing living (by myself/)with B SO much lately, I just feel like weeping looking at photos from our ex home. |
Okay, this little girl is off to bed. To wake up with a new age tomorrow hehee ♥
Cheers to that!

Sequin & Metallics For New Year’s Celebrations
Hello there, is everyone clear on their New Year's Eve plans already? I believe I can not be the only one not-so-sure-of where & how to spend my new year's. This year either. *sighh* It's almost like an unwritten rule that people can start planning on their new year's first just a few days before the eve, isn't it?! Every year! Nonono, don't tell me it's just me!
So, sitting here wondering what will come of this New Year's I've done some planning on what to wear. Should I end up going someplace where you need to dress up nice, that is *fingers crossed*
My outfit plan for this new year's eve looks as follows;
A black dress - such a lifesaver sometimes. I bought that Zara tricot dress before the Holidays and I've got a pair of sequin heels just like those I bought from Seppälä ages ago. Ok, I don't own an authentic McQueen clutch (bummer!) but I just happened to get a more affordable version from a friend for Christmas (thank you E!) which I'll need to test-drive on New Year's of course.
Add some curly super voluminous hair and red lips / nails to that, and a sparkly thick dark eye makeup, and you're set.
I wore a toned-down version of this for our Christmas dinner;
I've only got this web-cam-quality photo of it, so hoping to get to wear this on new year's!
I made another collage too with sparkly-sparkly & metallic items. Most of you have probably already decided (and bought) what you'll be wearing on new year's - but for in case some of you will still be doing some last-minute party outfit shopping, let me post this one too. Or, at least for inspiration!
Shiny Metallic Holiday Celebrations by hautekeikk
The starry sequin top and the see-through black dress are from Mango.
The middle one with the black sequin is from Lipsy.
The left one is by DVF but ZARA carries similar ones.
ZARA also has a similar blue sequin dress - I'd get one if I felt really Beyoncelicious!
Tomorrow I'm going to go check on ZARA sales tomorrow, hoping to snatch something sequin on SALE~ I'll be back blogging around New Year's - everyone have a great & safe one, cheers!
Santa, That’s My Only Wish This Year
Yikes, only 4 more days until Christmas and I haven't even posted my wish list yet!
And I usually write my wish list in November already! As a kid I would write very long lists thinking "well, I'm allowed to _wish for anything, right?". Though of course all of my wishes never got fulfilled, and I didn't expect them to either. Remember scrolling through toy shop's toy booklets as a kid, marking everything you wanted for Christmas? So like 5 things on each page? U knowww it.
This year I had an unusually hard time thinking of what I would dare wish for, though. More about that below. But, I did make an utterly realistic and likely to be fulfilled list on Polyvore;
Unrealistic Christmas Wish List by hautekeikk
Lolololol~~* Who does _not get a cartier Panthere ring + summ Gucci for Christmas ehh?
*Please read the story below for explanation on this madness*
Alright alright, I admit it - that's not really the wish list I gave to Santa this year ... it's NOT??!
This year, like said, I had a hard time listing anything to wish from my family. No I mean Santa. I've been really low on money since this spring and I haven't been able to think about wanting-to-buy anything basically, because all this time I've known I haven't been able to afford anything. Or, things I've bought I've mostly bought "on credit". My usual useless wishes felt so stupid this year - and I felt even stupider about asking for my family to spend more money on me as I already owe money to places etc etc ...
So instead of posting my real wish list, which included 3 things instead of my usual 30 this year, I thought I'd give you guys my unrealistic wish list! With some things I can safely dream of without the fear of accidentally having someone get them for me ♥
Ah yes, I'm looking forward to the Holidays. I've been setting up the Christmas mood with lighting up scented candles, gift wrapping, baking, all that good stuff. And shopping for people's gifts, too - which is such time consuming sport sometimes, isn't it? But I enjoy that too, at least when all goes well with finding what you're after etc.
From the other day - got a few gift shopping bags there!
Why do you always find something you can't resist (for yourself) when you're gift shopping?
I bought this cupcake note holder and heart-shaped candy molds from MiQ.
Staying home all comfy and cozy, doing things like the ones I mentioned above, decorating the home listening to Christmas songs is I guess my favorite thing in the pre-Christmas time. Right now I've got a tiny itch on my back though because I've still got two gifts left to buy and a couple of things to bake, but after that I'm pretty set for the Holidays.
Since I've been all Polyvore crazy let me just post 1 more collage; Christmas mood!
Christmas Mood by hautekeikk
New Christmas pj's were something my host family in the USA had a tradition of buying each year;
I miss my Missouri during Christmas time, and lots of these things remind me of holidays there.
I feel like I for the first time just wish for peace, love and understanding the most. Don't laugh. If you do, you'll see - when you find yourself with something that makes you see so much cleared what the worth of things really is. Or that's what I believe. Cheers.
