Back to London, layering and leather jackets, my favorite. Spring was waiting for me when I arrived. It’s making men in Chelsea run their motors a little louder than usual and women bare skin (see pictured) like it’s late June. But it makes us happy, so welcome spring.

While the Coachella festival was on at full blast, the parties were where it was all happening, or at least at the Guess parties to be exact (I say parties because there were three of them.) The Viceroy was transformed to the #guesshotel where we danced, chilled and had a few drinks with the best of them. Great music, good looking people and raving Bumbys review, it was a little piece of paradise for someone that 24 hours before was freezing in Finland - not that you needed a dramatic climate change to enjoy the brilliantly catered Guess action.

ps. check Rony’s Photobooth for more photos and who else was there!

I wore a Guess top, vintage shorts and hat plus Alexander Wang shoes on day one. On day two a Guess checked top, & other stories skirt, vintage bag and Wang shoes.

I was packing my bags, cleaning my sandy face and preparing to leave our Coachella hangout when I realized this place is too beautiful to run away from. So I extended my Palm Springs trip with a few days that I am going to spend catching up with all things important, source through photos and maybe go see some vintage stores in the area, tell me what I need to know if you are local.

Last night we celebrated Aussie blog awards in Helsinki, where I had the privilege to be on the judge panel to select Finland’s best new, up and coming blogs!

24 hours later I arrived in Palm springs, where I will be spending the next few days at the amazing Coachella. Follow me on Instagram @5inchandup for more festival pics!

I’ve had a lot of negative feelings about beige, there is a whole society of people that like wearing it from head to toe. I used to think there is no mystery in the colour, no excitement and no skills required. Leaving black out from my outfit is a stretch but here we are, open to all ideas especially the ones that represent a new fresh season.

Beige shoes are always listed as the cliché wardrobe must-have because they go with everything. I on the other hand would like to think shoes deserve all the attention, which explains why I never felt like I needed a beige pair. But there was something about these strappy sandals that made me realize that banning beige for all this time has made it interesting. You always want what you can’t have.

Sundays should be for easy dressing and over all simplicity, should I make a blog tradition of that? London has treated us nicely for the past few days, but typically I’ll be leaving for Finland soon. For the traveling itself I may as well wear these cotton pants, a slouchy take on a dressy classic has to be the best kind.

Isn't there always a million ways intend the pun when talking about Topshop Unique’s unique collections...? The fall collection was certainly special as I admit it might have been the first time ever that pink sequins looked cool in my eyes... I must snap out of that, but the pink fluff is likely to enter my wardrobe later this year and pray for Topshop not to leave the shoes out of production this time!

Over all the show had a lot of things that I’m into and maybe even some things that they intrigued me to get into. They usually manage to positively surprise us and you can always count on them to provide us with easy copy paste ideas that we will know way too well when fall finally arrives.
