A very spoiled Mary Poppins

I visited Helsinki last weekend and discovered that my parents had bought me the Vagabond shoes I had been craving for months. I felt a bit like a spoiled brat, but I'll get over it by telling myself that they were for constantly scoring straight A's at the university or something.
I was really planning to ask the shoes for my birthday, but I guess I have to wish for my second option - a huge chocolate cake.





vintage 1960's coat: eBayed
hairpin: H&M
shoes: Vagabond
bag: thrifted
umbrella: my boyfriend's

Shooting today's outfit was quite tricky because of the raging wind. I think I ended up looking quite a bit like Mary Poppins.

Oh, and the lovely Amethist created a set inspired by my photo to Polyvore. It's much cooler than my original outfit, though!

Aivan ihanat kengät, aivan ihana asu. Ja minulla on samanlainen sateenvarjo! (...hintalapussa luki miesten sateenvarjo, mutta minusta siinä oli tyyliä)

Wonderful shoes, and I like the coat even more, if possible. That print!

Red shoes = love! Vagabond shoes = love! Those shoes = PERFECTION!

Herttainen said...

Herkulliset kengät, ensimmäiset punaiset tuota mallia mitkä olen nähnyt. Löysin yhdestä outlet-myymälästä noita Vagabondin samaisia ruskeana ja mustana hintaan 29,90 € (alkup. joku 70 €), mutta kenkä ei ole ollenkaan tyyliseni joten jäi sinne. Ei viitsinyt senkään vuoksi ostaa, että saisi niin paljon halvemmalla :)

Mitu said...

ihanat takki ja sateenvarjo, ihan täydelliset aseet taistelemaan tätä yllätyssyksyä vastaan :) mulla on nuo samat punaiset kenkäset, ne olivat kyllä rakkautta ensi silmäyksellä.

laura said...

I love that coat. Great outfit!

Kate said...

Those shoes are amazing. It's so painful how few places will ship to New Zealand!

The Clothes Horse said...

You are very lucky and that coat rocks with the shoes. Mary Poppins always was a stylish lady.

Natasha said...

the shoes and coat are such show stoppers!

The polyvore outfit is too cute. I wish I had some variant of that dress!

Saima said...

Ihanaiset kengät!! ja muutenkin asu on todella kaunis!!:)

Heidi said...

Mahtava asu ja kengät ovat itkettävän ihanat. Ovatko nuo muuten samat kengät, jotka Piksiltäkin löytyy ruskeina? En olekaan nähnyt niitä ennen punaisina.

Mica said...

I like how you matched the shoes with that pretty flower! :)

suvi said...

Hiihi mulla on nuo samat kengät mustana! :) Ovat aivan ihanat, ja voi miten hyvät jalassa! Kävelin niillä yksi päivä ilman sukkia alla, eivätkä edes hiertäneet mistään. Rakkaus!

mothersvea said...

wow that coat is adorable!!

diane said...

those vagabond shoes!! i love them!!

Rachael said...

I wanted those! But I felt the heels were too high to justify them for day wear. Maybe not?

(I recently found your blog, and I really love your style.)

estrella said...

I like that Mary Poppins look a lot! And those shoes are so strikingly beautiful, lucky girl!

Vintage Darling said...

you look DARLING in thoose shoes!

Tara Diane said...

ah! I really really hope you didn't take the shoes back. They look like they're made for you.

ErinT Fashion Accessories said...

Love the shoes! Actually, love the whole outfit!

Brittney said...

Wow.. Those shoes are really HOT. Those need to be in my closet.

Ranna said...

Thanks for all the lovely comments, guys!

eva: I can't remember the seller anymore. :(
I found it by using the "search" field. I thing the keywords I used were something like "vintage mod jacket".

heidi: Ne ovat juuri ne samat kengät. Minäkään en ole törmännyt punaisiin kuin ainostaan Vagabondin nettisivuilla ja yhdessä pienessä Helsinkiläisessä kenkäkaupassa.

rachael: the shoes are actually extremely cozy regardless of the heel.
I'd definately recommend getting them! :)

Saga-Marie said...

Hei Ranna! Vaatteesi ovat upeita ja inspiroivia ja blogisi on mahtava! Itse olen tylsä tavis, joka ei oikein uskalla irrotella, vaikka haluaisikin;) Ootkos muuten ajatellut, että noista sun kuvista tulisi uskomattoman hieno valokuvataidenäyttely... :) T: ei-itse-niin-taiteellinen..
