cimorene: cartoony drawing of a woman's head in profile giving dubious side-eye (Default)

it's raining liquid h2o

I am really, really exhuasted and my feet really hurt after spending about eight hours on my feet downtown today on an epic shopping trip with [livejournal.com profile] bluesbell, [livejournal.com profile] lexandros and [livejournal.com profile] shiroi_chi! I wasted surprisingly little money, considering how epic this trip was, containing as it did two different coffee shops plus a lunch restaurant (complete with stomach upset!), two separate Marimekko boutiques and three visits to Stockmann. As for Marimekko, I'll take one of everything! (Haha. I wish.) But despite the happy feelings of well-being, I'm also feeling kind of flattened, so here is a picture of Ciara being cute at the noobs' party ten days ago.

I greatly envy your ease of access to Marimekko. It's best for me to be far away, I find ... though I bet you get to paw through things that are on *sale*. See, that just leads to trouble.

Marimekko is incredibly popular here! It's almost a matter of patriotism. On the other hand, the range of products is wide, and some of it is quite affordable - though the stunningly popular Marimekko bags are still up there on the expensive side, and my ambitions for a dress are bound to remain unfulfilled probably for a few decades. Sale racks, yes, though they were mostly full of change purses, mugs and handkerchiefs yesterday. The Omena-print sneakers I fell in love with were down to 25 euros yesterday, though, and I would have bought them right then if I'd happened to have a credit card with me... so it's a good thing I didn't.
