& Other Stories - unconditional love since 2013

I am very brand loyal person. All my shoes are Vagabond (or Timberland). All my skincare is from Lush and all my clothes are made by H&M group (Weekday, Monki, COS, & Other Stories, H&M), however with & Other Stories I have a very special "Shut up and take my money" bond. 

Here is a little throwback to our relationship.

PARIS

2013 first &OS store was opened in London and shortly thereafter it arrived to Stockholm, 

where I lived at that moment. I fell in love quite quickly, but was a poor student, so the first purchase I made was only in January 2014 at Paris rue Saint-Honoré store (still the pretties lingerie I own):

LONDON

I somewhat have a goal to visit all the & Other Stories shops around the world. 

Here is London Regent Street in 2014:

Probably I bought these ones and skincare products while in London:

ONLINE PURCHASE

Sometimes & Other Stories reaches me on my birthday (hello swimwear):

Since &OS does not send their packages to Estonia,

I have exploited my friends living abroad.

SORRY, NOT SORRY!:

COPENHAGEN

I love when it is Sale time, it gives me a great amount of joy:

On this and on the previous picture the Copenhagen Amagertorv 29 store is seen:

BERLIN

Berlin & Other Stories stores are my absolute favourites.

Hello Neue Schönhauser strasse 15!:

Berlin Kurfürstendamm 234 a.k.a. my number one:

This dress came home with me from Friedrichstraße 83:

MILAN

It was huge!

HELSINKI

No joke, probably the most beautiful one:

WARSAW

The rubber girl and &OS:

STOCKHOLM

I am a regular at both Stockholm stores,

they are always expecting me (went in and bought my favourite coat):

I also try to invite other people into my &OS cult:

I have spent remarkable amount of time at their stores:

The occasional flower pop-up stores are amazing:



Sa tahad mind, ma tahan sind, milleks meile küll see mäng.
It was a destiny when & Other Stories opened at Mall of Scandinavia, just next to my home:

Embrace the never-ending fitting room selfies:

I feel so bloody pretty in their clothes:

My besties generally agree with me:

MALMÖ

The service is always excellent and full of smile:


NEW YORK

In New York I went a bit crazy,
first at Westfield World Trade Centre...:

...then at Broadway...:

...and ended up on the 5th Avenue:

Santa Clause, I hope you get the hint.

Bachelorette party

Marrying secretly comes with a benefit of not having a bachelorette party – no 16-person jacuzzi limo, no penis straws and no discount rate strippers. However, all of a sudden I found myself at wedding dress salons, because my close friends revenged me with a surprise dress testing. 

To say the least, this kind of fluffiness is not my cup of tea and it gave us a lot of giggles.

We went to two salons and it was forbidden to take pictures in both of them. Like whaaaat?! I am completely surprised by this fact, because normal people would like to take a photo of the 1000 € dress they are going to buy, no? Of course it did not stop my friends taking pictures in hidden manner. They picked out the most voluminous dress and Madonna "Virgin" veil for me:

Next stop was Salocenter (keep in mind the no photo policy, I am so going to jail).

The inspirational pictures on the wall were to die for:

My golden girls waited patently while I tried on 645 dresses, one fluffier than the other.

They trolled and burned me as much as they could, 

so in the end we were searching for a dress for the flower-girl named Lisandra:

Did you know that one can take a wedding loan from the bank?

So the love is supported by mountain of debt, CRAZY!:

Several LOLs later, we ended up at Tai Boh

to get some yummy in our tummy:

Cheers for untraditional happenings:

Who run the world? GIRLS!

Dorothy, Sophia and Rose - perfectly awesome ladies all together:

Thank you for making my day!

Unicorns, Cookie Monster & Ms.Poo

The autumn is dark and full of terrors.

However, Halloween is the time for a little fun 

(I hope Kadri and Mardi do not feel left aside).

*all copyright belongs to Merily's camera*

Attention! I did not know that the picture was taken, I just casually flew by:

Some put on a shitty unicorn costume,

others actually put some effort in it:

We like each other, because we appreciate classical poo and fart jokes:

He knows which cookies you ate last summer:

Poco-loco-sugar-loops in da house:

When you thought you are one of a kind,

but suddenly you find your double ganger: 

"Yes Sir, you may touch my horn":

One, two, three,

Being someone else is a dream come true:

Long time no blog (my September and October in a nutshell)

It appears that when I got married, my life ended and the blogging stopped. However, I had a lot of firsts in September - first marriage and first time being a masters student. I have no idea why the hell did I decide to torture myself with massive school work on the top of my full-time job. Don't get me wrong, work is good, the school is interesting, but sitting on a sofa watching Netflix would be so much easier. 

Sorry, autumn turns me into a complaining bitch. Instead of whining, here is a small picture compilation from September and October.

1. Pärna decided to explore Europe a little bit and moved to Austria with the help of ERASMUS.

But before he stepped on the plane we played some Uno 

(my autumn so far = sleep, work, school, UNO!):

I put some pussy on the table to see them' reactions:

2. During stressful times it is so needed to wash some dirty laundry together with these girls.

We pull out the most stained pieces and then we work until they are clean:

After my trip to New York I fell in love with cocktails and speakeasy bars.

Whisper Sisters at its finest:

3. Erik had a birthday and we gave him this huge glass.

Now he can say: "Just one drink more and then I will go home":

We covered Erik's eyes, ordered Uber and took ourselves to a speakeasy bar Dissident.

On our way there Erik had no idea where we were going. The driver played along by touching his knee and saying "You will be ok" in Russian. To say the least Erik wetted himself. However, when he opened his eyes and saw that we had arrived to paradise, he actually enjoyed the night (I hope):

The girls were listening to Tonks.FM:

4. In October I was working at our Helsinki office for few days,

which meant that my sweetheart & Other Stories and I were united once again:

5. It's dark and cold outside, better to stay in with good company:

6. She was the first one from our group to create a life. Such much grown-up points!

Trammi, you rock!

Aunties and uncles are already spoiling the little one:

Epp and Juss finally received their wedding pictures,
so it is very suitable to end with this lovely memory from the summer:
