Nightingale: fashionably random

Oh home sweet home…I’m back from Finland! I’ve had 10 great, mostly sunny days in the south of Finland with the people I love, what could be better? The only thing I can think of is the shopping possibilites ;) Of course we didn’t experience the prime of what Finland had to offer of shopping, as we didn’t visit, Helsinki, but Turku has a great collection of shops too. However the only fashion related item I bought was a scarf on sale on Vero Moda. I visted H&M countless times, but I was unable of locating the great stuff I’ve seen in their catalogue. The Finnish fashion scene seem somewhat extreme to me, I think its what they call Nu Rave, but I’m not sure, they also have their fair share of Emo’s and such, as one of my friends puts it: "You’re going to Emoland my friend ;)" I don’t know what to call it, but there’s lots of colours, dyed hair, chipped nailpolish, fishnets etc etc etc Maybe it is as Oscar Wilde put it: "Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."? I don’t know, there’s no such thing as good or bad style, style is something unique, and I daresay there’s quite a lot of unique finns!! :)
