good // bad

Here's a secret: you don't have to choose between being so called good or bad. Its all an illusion anyways. I'm talking about how you dress and what persona you feel like that day. Maybe I went for all over fishnet and a slip because I wanted to feel powerful and sexy and maybe a little dark. There's nothing wrong with doing exactly what you want.

I'm honestly tired of the stigma that you can't enjoy dressing yourself every day and be a very smart individual at the same time. Along the same lines, I'm tired of people judging others for what they're wearing and how they represent themselves. If its not hurting you why worry about it? 

Fishnet x silk x sneakers= bad gal grunge

Ps. Shoelaces as a necklace are a must.

A$AP Rocky + Sky Ferreira: babe central, so when I have them on the same shirt it means I'm happy.

Not quite sure what this look I wore yesterday was going for, a choker and Vans, plus a zip up pencil skirt is pretty random, but hey I think it works? Loitering in a parking lot is also essential to get the right background for a picture (especially in busy downtown LA). 

On another note, I've been very much into pastel colors lately, especially in a street style sense (I mean don't you love these pink sneakers?). Theres just something about not being so serious in just black and white thats refreshing in a sense. For example:

Don't Play Nice

Neon pink in the desert. How risqué! Of course denim and neutrals remain very classic in the great outdoors, but why not add a pop of color whilst exploring. As my outfits usually come together with no major brain proccesing, I last minute decided to pair my crotchet top from Happiness with my high waisted/wide leg jeans. During the course of the day I also added a bandana from APPRVL to complete my outfit (copped from the Desert & Denim trade show in Joshua Tree). All together I think the combination gives off an Americana vibe without feeling monotonous. What do you think?

Ps. I've been wearing my Vans since December almost everyday. I don't know if its my infatuation with skaters, or the fact that they're the comfiest sneakers I've owned, but I would definitely recommend getting them as a staple piece of footwear (these are the slimmer hi top design).

Neutral layers and oversized silhouettes are nothing remotely new or original to fashion this year, but this doesn't make them any worse (in my personal opinion). Paired together some of my most recent pieces into a very Northwest appropriate street-wear look. The best part about this whole outfit is also the price, I found this amazing vest at Nordstrom Rack yesterday for $30, way way less than some of the higher end pieces your favorite Instagram'ers are wearing. Success.

This sweater feels iconic.

Now you might be thinking "How in the world can a giant collection of bright yellow yarn feel iconic?" Well I'll tell you. To me this sweater says I don't care in the best way possible. Yes, you will look at me when I wear it, no, I don't care how you feel about it. Maybe its a little Cobain, maybe its a little Travis Scott in its nonchalance, but nonetheless it feels right.

Jacket: Kimchi Blue, Crop Top: Topshop

I wear a variation of the same outfit super frequently. Its not that I'm particularly afraid of changing it up, its just that there's an ease to a crop top and denim combination that is unrivaled by other wardrobe choices. Paired with my new favorite (and over used ) Hype hat, the look ironically screams hypebeast but also works in its simplicity. Success?

PS. Email me at seidi.hakkanen@frontier.com if you're interested in copping a hat as well, you know I can maybe make you one..

PSS. The Fremont Vintage Mall in Seattle is altogether amazing and also the source of the pink sheepskin rug previewed above. But warning, its almost impossible to leave empty handed!

One piece: H&M, Pants: Forever 21, Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters

No smoking, except when its in leotard form with open sides. Paired this cool, printed one piece from H&M today with black and white sweatpants for an easy, streamlined look that still has some visual interest. Nothing crazy but still fairly put together for a Monday afternoon (especially considering I spent the majority of the day doing homework). I'm also generally excited to see how this week ends up (and the next few weeks in general) as I had quite the exciting last few days. I  ended up shooting for someone I look up to in the fashion industry after going to a casting on Fairfax on Monday and a fitting in the valley on Wednesday (hint hint if you follow this person you might know who I'm talking about), and also shot a possible cover for FIDM's Mode magazine on Sunday. So stay tuned to see those shots in the future and don't forget to contact me if you want to collaborate on a project or an idea!

There's something about bright turquoise hair that just makes you take everything a little less seriously (in the best way possible). My hair is more colorful than ever and I think it adds a touch of nonchalant attitude to my daily outfits. Or maybe I just feel like I look cooler than I actually am, and if I can look a little cool then maybe I can eventually be half as cool as Rihanna,.

See its all very logical.
