Welcome to Finny's fashion blog...

Finny loves thrifting and the 2000s, check out what else is happening on the blog!

Thrift, thrift, thrift!

I buy new and on sale, but my one true love is second hand anything. I hope to only thrift in the coming years.

Magazines, fashion books, and catalogues.

One of my favourite fashion eras are the 2000s. You'll find a number of posts flipping through fashion mags.

Dress up and accessorize.

Amazing Hand-Me-Downs ࿐ ࿔*:・゚!!

Last week some friends were getting rid of old furniture and other stuff. I got a couple things from them that are so cool!


This Sanyo media player with two speakers, a DVD/CD player, and a subwoofer. I didn't manage to get it to work with the TV but it works great as a CD player.

Second was this CD shelf/rack. Very old school, I may re-paint it in the future but I don't hate it as is either.


Third was this album. It's very whimsical and cute. I've got a lot of physical photos so it's a perfect display/storage solution. My other photo album is also very whimsigothic-like but blue.

This was not from friends but my mum picked up Around The Fur for me from a town near us when they were there with my sister. Next on my wishlist is definitely Koi No Yokan, Diamond Eyes, and the self-titled album.

Stuff I Bought {In The Past Few Weeks}

Hello everyone. I've had a very intense late September and October so far. It's been pretty crazy and I've been slacking on the blogs and my site. Sad violin music. Anyway, I did manage to pick up some cute and useful stuff here and there throughout the weeks.

 

I never tried Calypso before but I saw it around and I really dig the logo design. It was pretty nice! Very sour, but I like that. However, it also tastes like a chemical vat so I have no idea what kinda trash is in it. It looks really pretty in the light.



I've also been looking for some more pens recently so I was very happy to come across these. I am stupid and don't know how to read so I didn't realize they were blue ink. However, I prefer to do study notes in blue so it actually works out.


 

Got some very cute cards, the highlight is definitely the envelopes! They are awesome.


I love this cute light blue.



I also found some Star Wars magnets that are very cool.


And I found some cute stickers and another notebook from the brand P13. 2 weeks later or so, I found some other cute things. 


First was this sort of pouch/slip. I have a bunch of stray tech stuff that's just floating around (including like 5 hard drives...) and it's terrible, so I'll be using this to keep all of them safe. I love a retro tropical motif.


For crafting I got some neutral beige lace and paper washi tapes, they are basically strips of sticker. Since I've been trying more and more mori these days I felt like that lace was perfect to add to clothes or bags to make them a little more whimsical.

The last thing I got were these eyeshadow palettes. I was looking for a green eyeshadow for ever! Real glad I don't have to order it from anywhere anymore. Some may say that with my corpse like tone I should not use any greens but I don't care because I love green. I also got the blue because my only blue palette is one I rescued from a thrift store. Guys, I know thrifting is always good but be careful with make up (like duh!). I didn't get an infection or anything but the thing had no date so the powder was very clumpy and sort of unusable fast. I was also really looking for a dark red eyeshadow so that's why I got the middle one too.

I know you may be asking: hey smart ass, how are we supposed to see any of the actual pics with these huge ass frames you put on them? I get it, but I wanted to have fun, okay?! Anyway, I'm not selling anything, the pics are just for your viewing pleasure. That was the past few weeks, I do recommend that when you can't buy second hand at least check out outlets: it's way cheaper and it's stuff that's probably going to be sent to a landfill when not recycled, that sucks!

Class Outfit: Polka Dot Skirt! Black and White! ‧₊˚♪ 𝄞₊˚⊹

A few weeks ago I put together a pretty cute black and white outfit but forgot to make a post about it. Here it is at last! I even tried a 2 version kind of thing but both were way too warm for the day. I planned poorly, but I lived. Had no time for make up, it might have added some girliness but I was fine without it. 







Version 2: I also tried it a bit different with my white leg warmers. Talk about overestimating the weather, man...
