I love that both of you are NOT about the trendy stuff. You both have very good instincts about what you like, what will work and what you choose to buy. I love how you take what you have and mix it up. I especially love the layering you do. Don't explain, change or apologize for anything you have or haven't posted. Your blog reads like one friend talking to another. That's why we love you!! Your blog is one of two that I look at daily–yours and Steff’s. I love that both of you are NOT about the trendy stuff.

But I am constantly working with something... ...the stuff just gets finished really slowly! Steff, I would love to surprise you! It feels like we are such style sisters that I actually trust myself with this task. May - I feel exactly the same with the music! And even my cats do... ...when I put some energetic music on at evening time when they are active they go wild, haha! Varpu, tuo on aivan erinomainen pointti - ja luovuuden harjoittaminen ei onneksi mitenkään tuhoa "luovuusvarastoja" - päinvastoin. Ja ideat on tarkoitettu kopioitaviksi ja muunneltaviksi! Ehkä tämä tuuleen huutelu jotenkin kuuluu tähän aikaan? Annika, I completely understand your concern... ...Tavi herself seems to be very intelligent and level headed... ...but this fashion child stardom definitely is seductive and I hope that she is not abused and gets all the support she needs. Apparellel, we have a mutual club of respect, you definitely are in my top five, too! My English... ...I guess I have to thank Finnish school system and my choices of further studies - most of the stuff I've read after high school has been in English. And now I am in Aalto University of Art and Design, and my degree programme is in English. First time of my life when I'm actually practising spoken English - does not go as well as writing, though! Fakta, I think that most of my favorite style blogs contain styles I would probably wear - but maybe that is exactly why I'm reading them! Seeing different ideas that are still aesthetically pleasing probably widen my perspective, even though I'm not directly copying the ideas to my personal use. And I do love cook, too! Your blog is delicious! Sometimes I feel slightly bad that I have so little time for knitting these days. But I am constantly working with something… …the stuff just gets finished really slowly!

May — I feel exactly the same with the music! And even my cats do… …when I put some energetic music on at evening time when they are active they go wild, haha!

Varpu, tuo on aivan erinomainen pointti — ja luovuuden harjoittaminen ei onneksi mitenkään tuhoa “luovuusvarastoja” — päinvastoin. Ja ideat on tarkoitettu kopioitaviksi ja muunneltaviksi!

Ehkä tämä tuuleen huutelu jotenkin kuuluu tähän aikaan?

They have great atmosphere and you truly have an unique style. Maybe your style is not something I'd always wear but I admire your ability to wear different pieces together. I blog because I love food and everything about it. Cooking is my escape from work stuff. I actually read your blog mainly because of your photos.

I rest securely within my own skin. But I truly don't beleive that I could create an interesting blog that would attract readers. The reason for that are many, time is I guess the primary one. A blog as I understand, is time consuming, something I have little of and in order to write something worth saying and then reading you must invest time. I am therefor very much happy to be an anonomous blog reader. I also like being anonomous in this time and age of facebook, twitter and surveillance cameras. I do not look down on Tavis talent and eye for style. But I keep wondering if she would attract so much attention if she was 35 instead of 12. Her young age is exposed and taken advantage of. It just puzzles me, that her parents finds her exposure on the internet acceptable, with what I guess, the not always healthy interest from strangers this attracts. She is like a child star of the fashion scene. It is probably just my maternal instict speaking. My who wants to read about me statement has nothing to do with self esteem.

Itse koen pitäväni tyyliblogia, jonka pääasiallinen tehtävä on purkaa auki sitä, mitä oikeastaan yritän vaatteillani viestiä. Huutelen tuuleen ja joskus joku vastaa, vastauksia vasten voin sitten peilata sitä, mitä olen itse asioista ajatellut. Mua kiinnostaa sun blogissasi tyylisi, joka on aika oivaltava ja kuvia kumartelematon, ja käyn täällä oppiakseni itsekin jotain uutta.

En myöskään yritä olla millään tavalla <i>muodikas</i>, vaikka myönnän auliisti ottavani väkisinkin vaikutteita muista blogeista ja katukuvasta, joten muoti toki vaikuttaa minuunkin. En myöskään ole sitä tyyppiä joka lähtee viikoittain kaupungille shoppailemaan, joskus sitä miettiikin että kuinka kauan mulla vielä riittää näytettävää kellekään. Tämä on toisaalta hyväkin juttu, sitä joutuu todella laittamaan luovuutensa peliin ihan eri tavalla. Joten niin, mitä minulle jää niin on toivottavasti joku "oma tyyli" ja sen .. mikä on <i>deliver</i> on suomeksi?? nojoo. Ja sitten vaan toivoo että joku on kiinnostunut. Mutta juuri tämä on se mitä täältäkin haen, ja sulla on aivan mielettömän ihana tyyli (se keltanen tunika on aivan upea, haluan itellenikin jotain keltaista! ja noi tyllileggarit on jotain taivaallista, saatanpa ehkä kopioida ton idean joskus :D).

Näitä aina välillä tulee.. Mä bloggaan koska koen että mulla on jotain jaettavaa tai mitä haluan mielestä pois. Ja tietysti ompelutyöt, niiden esittely jne mutta se ei enää oikein ole ollut se pääasia pitkään aikaan. Nykyään koen että mulla on paljon mielessä sellaisia aiheita mistä haluaisin aloittaa keskustelua, niinpä perustin kokonaan uuden blogin susannafin.blogspot.com. Siellä tulee olemaan sitten enemmän yrittäjyydestä, elämänhallinnasta ym tekstejä.Ja öh, en mä tiiä, mun bloggaajan identiteetti on jotenkin hukassa nyt :) Sun blogia seuraan koska sä oot jotenkin kivalla tavalla välinpitämätön trendien ja "sääntöjen" suhteen, sun pukeutumisessa on kivoja oivalluksia, omia juttuja. Ja sun kuvat tai oikeastaan koko blogin yleisilme on sellainen että tulen hyvälle tuulelle täällä. Olenkin huomannut että usein jätän päivityksiä väliin ja luen sitten kerralla pidemmän litanian :) Ah, bloggaajan ahdistus! Näitä aina välillä tulee..

With clothes, if I am feeling let's say breezy and dreamy, I will try and pick clothes that are breezy and dreamy. But with _music_, it works the other way round: I hear an angry song and five minutes later I'm angry. However, truth be told most of the time I just pick up whatever is relatively clean and tidy for a day at the office and go! “Do you think that you do it consciously or do you just instinctively pick pieces and only later realize that they resonate to your mood?”

Just exchange 'Finn' for 'Canadian' and 'middle priced footwear' for 'structured jacket'. And you know you're my favorite blogger. Don't change a thing about this blog. By the way, I'm still thinking about what I'd want for a clothing exchange. You may have to choose for me though! I think you wrote exactly what I would say about my own blog.
