if you ever come to tampere, finland there is a thrift store called yesterday near by the metso library. that place is full of treasures (literally full) but you have to search really hard. the lady who is the shopkeeper is a little crazy but she can help you find something you are looking for...

well yeah.. i can buy something from h&m but i mix and match it with some other clothes and people dont even believe it is from h&m... but for more original clothes you have to really search cause you dont want 1000 copies of you walking on the streets

thanks for the hint
the only store that i have been using is UFF so newcomers are more than welcome.since vaasa mainly has h&m, veromoda, only and jc it's really hard to find unique clothes. i shop at h&m quite often but then i try to mix and match my other clothes. but i just hate the fact that if i find something really nice, next day i see two or three girls wearing the same damn thing
I think this thrift store/trying to be original has kinda turned upside down now... It is really mainstream and something that almost everyone is doing. But I guess that's a good thing, I rather see kids wearing thrift store finds and stuff like that than wearing pink hoodies and Mic Mac jeans and those big ugly skate shoes with ridiculous laces. I'm referring to Finland now, it's where I also live so I think many of you know what I'm talking about... 
And adi, let's make a roadtrip to Tampere when we have time and money!
I can drive, you read the map!

"I designed and made this dress for Iisa, singer in Regina. Iisa gave me the inspiration for the dress. My favorite designer is John Galliano.
I've lived in Finland for three years now. Before my style was more shining and complicated. Now I like to wear more comfortable clothes."

^I love her! But then again, she isn't Finnish. So there we have it.

"Tonight my look is Pretty Woman á la Julia Roberts. I'm wearing Rinne Niinikoski dress, Dolce & Gabbana underwear, necklaces by Dior and Pour.
I don't have any style idols but I think Dita von Teese represents something that our time needs. Last time I was inspired by the early 20th century Finnish landscape painting."
I know this was posted before, but this is the stylist Minttu Vesala, right? She's 42! wtf? wow!

I have to say, I like Minttu Vesala's hairstyle and boots.

Thanks for the effort!
I like the zebra boots, otherwise it looks like Finland.

Yah, we all wear boring clothes like in those pictures...
no not really, in fact I'd say that's probably the most boring, unfashionble people the photographer could have closen to shoot...So I'd suggest people search for more pic's of people in copenhagen than these before you be so quick to judge. Better yet, come visit.
